The fans of Once Upon A Time may also get to know more about Henry Mills and Rogers in episode 3 of season 7. Cast member Colin O'Donoghue has teased a complicated relationship between the police officer and the author.

"Obviously, they don't know who they are, essentially. They definitely interact, but they don't know that Hook is Hook, or any of that stuff. It's more complicated than them just falling back into their previous relationships. This version of Hook that we see in the fairytale past has quite a different relationship with Henry than we've seen before," the actor said in an interview with Collider.
