Just a reminder that A Pirate's Life is directly from Peter Pan, not necessarily Pirates of the Caribbean.

That said... perhaps this is pointing towards the Season 1 feel of episodic character plots? We'll see everyone in Hyperion Heights but we won't necessarily know anything about them (with the flashback probably focusing on Lucy's birth like how Pilot focused on Emma's). Then each episode after that will be going into more detail on the characters' backstories; episode 2, obviously, is Hook. Episode 3 could be Regina. I think they'll put Rumple off until later, though, after we've gotten backstories for Jacinda (hopefully separate from Henry) and some of the four other new characters we know of.
