This episode was an adaptation of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. Eurydice never left the Underworld, because Orpheus looked back at her. It was lack of patience and loss of faith, that condemned his wife for eternity.

If you look closely, the Underbrooke clock ticked when the portal closed. That was very likely Hook's soul either moving on, or being resurrected. Oh wow, I didn't notice that! So when Emma left through the portal, Hook might have actually been sent back to Storybrooke at the same time? Interesting. That would be an easy answer to how he gets resurrected....
