Dealing with Rumple in episode 3x21 “Snow Drifts”

Accepting Needing help from Rumplestiltskin is not something Killian is accustomed to - or at all comfortable with. However, in order to get back to the future (pun intended), he has to rely on Rumplestiltskin’s expertise and magic. That means putting up with the Crocodile in a general sense, trusting him to some extent... and biting his tongue on some choice things he’d like to say, I’m sure. Obviously, this leads to a strong undercurrent of angst in all of their interactions, which adds a nice element to the episode.

Random hijinks in episode 3x22 “There’s No Place Like Home”

While not a heavily angsty episode for Killian, there’s certainly enough mini-angst to go around. First pic is his heart-to-heart with David at the campfire. Second pic is his failed “dashing rescue” of Emma. Second row is him comforting Emma when Snow White is burned at the stake. Fifth shot is from him trying to comfort her afterwards. Next three pics are just some general annoyance, haha. Last row is him brandishing his sword at Rumple, and moments later finding himself swordless in a totally different place. I have a weakness for dual “WTF” moments. I don’t know if you’ve noticed.
