Though Hook's (Colin O'Donoghue) heart was taken from him in the latest episode of ABC's Once Upon a Time, his love for Emma (Jennifer Morrison) continues to beat on.

Morrison spoke with Entertainment Tonight recently about the various relationships in Emma's life, particularly Hook. The actress insisted that Emma will be helping to bring back his heart.

O'Donoghue joined the interview and simply added, "That's what girlfriends do."

Morrison suggested that the rules established in Once Upon a Time thus far allows Hook to still love Emma, regardless of his missing heart.

"He does seem to still love me without a heart," she said. "You have to look at Regina and look at the rules of the heart stuff: When she removed her own heart in order for her not to be vulnerable, that didn't mean that she still didn't love Henry and she still didn't love Robin Hood, she just still didn't have the heart in her chest."

Meanwhile, Hook is pretty convinced that Rumple is going to kill him, as O'Donoghue recently teased to Entertainment Weekly. However, it is unlikely that the show will kill off Hook, one of its primary characters, so soon after Emma lost Neal (Michael Raymond-James).

Anything is possible on Once Upon a Time though.

Once Upon a Time airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
