Interestingly, Hook even delivers some of the information in his lines. He describes himself as being a lovesick puppy. HE was just that for Emma. He was so desparate for love, he changed to please her. Once she did something he didn't like, he felt betrayed and ended things with her.

That's a sign that Hook wasn't good for the right reasons. He was just like Regina and Rumple who tried to be good for the rewards you get, rather than a more valid reason. Hook was always shown to have an interest in Emma and that's why he turned his ship around. To save her, not her family or the town. He childishly fought over her with his "step" son Bae, and when he died, he scooped up the remains of Emma's love and went on from there.

I think he was slowly turning good outside of Emma, as he typically wasn't all that bad, but he still had that brimming darkenss inside of him and he knew it.

So, he was never Killywilkins the Good. Just a lovesick man that lied on a thin string. He pretty mcuh showed little progress. Infatuated with Emma at the beanstalk, got betrayed by Emma, denounce Emma. Hook was infatuated by Emma in Camelot, Emma betrayed him by making him the DO, he denounces Emma.

I would say that his rage may be amplified a little, but still doesn't change the fact it's pretty much the same.
