In the end though, there is only one way the most important questions will be answered, and that will happen when the show returns on the screen. If there are some more special developments planned for the season that could shock fans, those will probably be kept secret until the show actually airs.
Otherwise, fans can easily get the wrong idea and start speculating about things that are never going to happen, acting disappointed over the decisions of the producers when it’s all just a misunderstanding. It may sound like a stretch, but it wouldn’t be the first time something like this has happened.
But for now, fans will likely keep speculating on their favorite topic for the new season – the fate of Captain Hook.
This particular plot element has been the subject of so much speculation and anticipation from all sides that the producers should definitely do their best to keep it a secret until the episodes arrive to the screen. We wouldn’t be surprised if this season turns out to be the most successful one the show has seen yet just because of this development alone, and that wouldn’t even be a stretch to consider.
