Ok, I think from past experience, we've seen that Emma and Hook communicate openly. Emma has finally opened up and allowed Love back in her life (wihch is how we got to the UW in the first place). Killian has a dark past, but we saw at the end of Swan Song that he really wants to move beyond his darkness. Yes, he almost killed all of Emma's family, but his sacrifice at the end was a huge indicator of where his real intentions are. (You don't make that sacrifice without a serious commitment).

I think that, by the time we actually get through the Underworld, Emma and Killian will have had a chance to come to terms with everything that happened since 3B, and will be ready for the next step in the relationship, which is a formal commitment to each other. in other words, and engagement. Snowing is the "Ideal" couple, Rumpbelle is the dysfunctional couple, but I think CS can be the representation of the real couple, in that everything is not roses, they have their moments and their problems, but are able to work through those and still love each other.

I for one think that a proposal by the end of the season will be appropriate by the time we get there.
