Banning was a much-maligned yet ultimately successful coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. He led the Irish to a national championship in 1988 and back to the top of college football in 2006, but his tenure at Notre Dame was cut short by allegations of abusive behavior towards players.
Hook and Jack Banning’s Relationship
Love is in the air for Hook and Jack Banning!
Rumors of a relationship between these two have been swirling since the beginning of the show, but until now, we hadn’t had any confirmation.
On Sunday’s episode of “Once Upon a Time,” it was finally revealed that Hook did care for Jack. In flashbacks, we saw how they first met and how their relationship began to develop.
Though they had their share of troubles, Hook always seemed to care about Jack. He was there for him when he needed someone, and he never hesitated to offer his support.
Their love story is one that deserves to be told in full, and I can’t wait to see what happens next for these two characters.
Hook’s Reaction to Learning that Jack Banning is Leaving
When Hook learned that Jack Banning was leaving, he showed his disappointment.
“What?” exclaimed Hook when he heard the news. “He’s been here for years and now he’s leaving? He’s not even given me a chance to say goodbye!”
Hook clearly had some feelings for Jack, but it seems like he didn’t get the chance to express them properly.
Why did Hook Cheat on Ursula?
Rumors circulated that Hook cheated on Ursula with Jack Banning. While it’s unclear if these rumors are true, what is clear is that Hook and Ursula had a troubled relationship.
Some theorize that Hook cheated on Ursula because he was unhappy in their relationship. He may have felt like he wasn’t getting the attention he desired, or that she was too busy for him. While Hook may not have been entirely faithful to Ursula, it’s clear that he still cared for her.
Conclusion
In conclusion, did Hook actually care for Jack Banning? Well, the answer is a little bit complicated. On one hand, it is evident that Hook does care for and respects Banning as his friend and mentor. However, at the same time there are hints throughout the novel that Hook has romantic feelings for Banning. So the answer to this question ultimately depends on your interpretation of the text. If you believe that Hook cares deeply for Banning then yes — he does seem to care for him.
