And in this exquisitely perfect moment Killian is telling Emma she is his everything and I cannot imagine a more beautiful declaration. Simply being with Emma in any way she wanted was enough to make him happy forever. There had been no promises of a future, no confirmation of love, with everything felt rather than said. And what it is truly beautiful is that he has already found it. It is one thing to tell someone you love them, it is quite another to reveal they are your happy ending. Barely over a whisper, with tears in his eyes he says “Don’t you know Emma? It’s you.” Brilliantly performed by Colin O’Donoghue the little breath he exhales after he reveals this truth showcases the brevity of this heartfelt confession. Emma wonders what his happy ending could be and his expression is absolutely heart wrenching. He has found a happiness he never dreamed he would find and is so terrified to lose it, especially because he feels his villainous past will surely mean he will lose his happy ending. So many of Killian’s best moments demonstrate his tremendous capacity to love, and the depth to which he has fallen in love with Emma Swan is unparalleled. If there was any other scene that matched the beauty of Killian telling Emma he traded his ship for her, it would be this moment equal in its purity, loveliness and meaning. “Killian tells Emma she is his happy ending.” (Season 4, Episode 15 “Poor Unfortunate Soul”).On a show filled with magic, this moment of truth and love is one of the most magical we’ve ever seen. And when she kisses him passionately, the Storybrooke sign symbolically illuminated in the background, we see that these two souls who were so lonely and lost have found a home in this little town, but more importantly with each other. ![]() ![]() Losing his home did not matter so long as she found hers. Her happiness means more to him than a few planks of wood and a sail, and there is no greater sign of True Love. There is so much poignancy and beauty in this moment and for Killian what is remarkable is that the causal way he begins is because for him, his sacrifice may have been significant but not as significant as Emma is to him. He gave up his home to bring her back to hers. And Emma understands the full breadth of everything he has done. With absolute sincerity he looks directly into her eyes so she will understand depth of this single word. And in the exquisite moment when she asks “You traded your ship for me” and he replies simply “Aye” her look of amazement is beautiful matched only by his. And indeed even in this moment, he still acts rather casual about it telling her traded the Jolly Roger for a magic bean as if it was not a tremendous sacrifice. When she finds Killian outside Granny’s diner, she expresses her happiness and sincere gratitude for him finding her in New York City, much of which he tries to brush off with a small smile and simple “It was the right thing to do.” For so long we wondered and suspected how Killian was able to find Emma, but he had remained quiet about his efforts. ![]() All seems right with the world until she notices that someone very important isn’t with her.
