If one of the theories about the 2nd episode are true and one of the Hooks is from the future, he may have altered/forked the timeline meaning Emma may have originally died or something and this Hook stopped it from happening. Of course that would make this other Hook both a widower and an time remnant while present day Hook returns to Storybrooke with Emma.
