I think it will be too predictable if it's Hook. And I don't see how they would be able to bond from something like that. I am kinda hoping the writers surprise me for once and go in a different direction.

And then there is the cover up. Somehow, his family receive misinformation about how he died. They think he got drunk at a tavern and fell into the water on his journey home. If it was Hook, I don't see why he would create a cover story. He was just a drunken pirate who would have done it on a whim. I don't think he would have given it a second thought. He could escape to Neverland.

We have to think who would be around then, who could get involved with Charming's father, murder him and then go into the effort to cover it up. It was at least fifty years ago when you take into account the curse.

However, knowing the writers, they are so predictable the most popular theory about Hook will be right, and they will create some insane story for it.
