I'm REALLY disappointed with how they ended Milah's character. I was SUPER looking forward to her and Hook reuniting and her passing over or SOMETHING! I thought it was a really abrupt and stupid way to get rid of her. i was also very disappointed that they didn't make Hook look at all upset about how she disappeared, and that he didn't get to see her. He was just like, "oh, boo - MOVING ON!" I was hopeful that maybe they would bring her back somehow before they left the UW but... they didn't. *sigh*
That was never going to happen cause the writers don't want to undermine CS with them dealing with actual conflicts. It's kind of like how Emma was able to move on and be with Hook like two days after Neal died skipping the mourning period.
You know, not everything on the show is about Emma and Killian. I will agree that the writing has some problems to overcome, but let's not blame everything on poor writing, or writing that is overly focused on "Captain Swan".
I'm well aware that not every bad writing decision they made is about Emma and Hook (Zelena, s4B for example), in the case of Milah and Hook not meeting, which is what I was commenting about, is pretty much about Hook and Emma.
I will disagree. The way that they moved the story along in the episode, Emma was not in the least bit threatened by Milah, and while it might have been nice to see Killian and Milah meet again, that ship sailed along time ago. There would not have been a conflict (my opinion). If anything, the way that Milah responded to Emma, I could have seen that line ending with Milah telling Killian that she is glad that he moved on and was able to find love again, except that storyline got cut short.
Milah going into the water was more, in my opinion, about Rumple and Milah and their past. Rumple still harbored deep resentment towards Milah for abandoning Bae. He was willing to work with her because his goal was to get out of the UW and return to Belle as quick as possible. manipulating Milah to assist in rescuing Killian was just a means to that end, until Hades showed up. Once Hades made the deal with Rumple, Milah was just someone that was in the way of his goal, which is why Rumple dunked her in the river. And Rumple had to make his move before Emma returned, because she would have stopped Rumple, and he did not want to tip his villainous hand.
The plot was about the story, not any single ship except Rumple and Milah. And in my opinion, as much as I didn't want to see Milah dunked in the water, I thought the story was well executed.
Of course, none of us can read the writers minds, so we don't know for sure how they intended everything to be interpreted.
