I know some might be pro-ships and CS, but come on, it's like emma and Snow don't even have a relationship anymore. That is a bit harsh.... Emma managed to get Merlin to fight the Darkness, which is what saved Mary Margaret's life. And then never showed any concern. I know, does it seem like I'm implying that Hook/Emma hurts Emma/ Parents? Well, I say yes, it is. We've got all this build up and Regina and Hook are hogging all the time with Emma. Let her parents talk to her. If you wonder why they don't really understadn her, it's because they literally aren't allowed to talk to each other onscreen.

I do remeber when they were planning to do the orphan scene of 302 with Hook instead of Snow and then changed their mind. And I can tell why Hook even crossed their mind. If it wasn't to that good judgement call on that episode Snow and Emma's relationship would have been in the gutter....at this point anyway.

The show has grown but it move far from the primary relationships and pretty much puts them on the side. Henry and Emma was one but now it's mostly Hook or Regina, but we get one or two scenes a half-season where they get to bond (no real development since I guess the writers don't feel like it). Snow and Emma was a big one from the first two seasons and they slowly pushed Snow out of the way and inserted Hook and Regina.

In an episode about Emma going dark, while her reasons are sound, her parents should play a bigger role. I think Zelena had a bigger role in Emma's development of this arc than her parents. And that's terrible.
