Hub vs Switch

Hey all, I know that a hub broadcast packets sendt to it to all devices connected while the switch send it to the targeted destination, what Im not sure of is, is the hub Bi-directional as in let's say I have a network that consists of a router with a hub and switch connected to it, both of the switch and hub have 3 PCs connected to it (Pc1,2,3)

The PC1 on the the hub network wants to send a message to Pc2 on the switch network will the message go through Pc1 -> Hub -> Router -> Switch - Pc2

OR

Pc1 -> Hub Then the hub resends it back to to pc1 pc2 pc3 and router -> Switch -> Pc2
