Am I talking about Hook's beneficial relationship with Emma? Not really. They do great together, but Emma's a "good" person without Hook. Hook isn't the same without Emma. He's a bit indifferent, but let's take the show as an example.

Hook didn't retunr to his old life because of hios love for Emma, but he still wasn't back to doing good as he supposedly let Eric die alone on an island and didn't help Ariel. As I have mentioned before, there is a difference between being just a decent, normal person and a hero. Hook didn't really have an obligation to give up his prized ship for a total stranger, just like Elsa didn't have an obligation to give up her only clue to find Anna to save Storybrooke. And if you think about it, what Elsa did was much worse - risking an entire town vs risking one person's life. Yet she is still considered a hero by OUaT standards.
