Anonymius wrote: Ok, before we see the eighth witch (witch I'm sure will give us a couple of revelations), here are a few questions still left unanswered:

Why was Rumplestiltskin trying to get Henry to go back home, and not get involved with cinderella?

Alice said that he was “looking after Henry” and didn’t want him to get involved in the stories if he couldn’t help himself so he could be safe.

Where did those magical or illusionary powers from episode one of Alice come from, and why haven't we seen any hint since then?

I thought that it was the drug that she gave him in his drink that had him hallucinate the events in the cave.

Why was Tremaine so intent that Henry and Cinderella be separated, even Drizilla didn't understand.

'''She hates Cinderella because of how she came into her life and the circumstances surrounding Anastasia’s death, so she likely feels that Cinderella doesn’t deserve happiness when she stole hers. Drizella was too young to understand the consequences of the events in the tower and so she doesn’t understand her mother’s dislike for Cinderella.'''

Whose heart was used to cast the dark curse? Because if it was drizilla, it had to be someone she loved most, but who could have that been and still live?

'''Will definitely be answered in the next episode. Also, a recent Entertainment Weekly article clarified that Drizella might not be the curse caster.'''

Also, it looked like Henry was cursed separately from everyone else. I mean he's not even in Hyperion Heights, but why cast the curse twice?

Multiple curses could have been cast by different people, as the writers originally said.

Also why is this curse so different? The curse usually keeps people in, yet people seem to come and go as they please.

'''This will also be answered soon. If Drizella cast the curse, her motivations aren’t to make anyone suffer except for her mother. I doubt she, or the curse caster, cares about who leaves town. Her mother on the other hand wants to gentrify the neighborhood so that the fairy tale characters are separated from each other as the curse can’t be broken (going by what the writers originally said).'''

Why does Regina feel stuck if they are able to come and go as they please?

She’s is in a position as she must prevent true love’s kiss between Henry and Cinderella, with Henry still under the curse.

Why can't they get to storybrooke? And why can't anyone from storybrooke know they're there?

'''There is a theory that they were sent to the past by a time travel spell which is why they can’t go to Storybrooke as there other selves are there and it would cause a paradox. Even if this isn’t true, the writers promised that more details will be offered on Emma’s absence.'''

How has time passed? It doesn't look like much time has passed, and there is a sense that time passes normally, yet there have been indications that they've been there a while.

Don’t know how to answer this question, but it seems that the NEF moves faster than the LWM.

AND HOW EXACTLY DOES A SUBURB APPEAR RIGHT BANG IN THE MIDDLE OF SEATTLE WITHOUT ANYONE NOTICING????? Storybrooke was supposed to be separate from the world, yet you're trying to tell me no one noticed this town spring up out of nowhere? NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE!

Again, there could have been multiple curses that memory swiped people from the LWM as well.

Actually, there is one way to explain all of this, and I am hoping it will be the case tomorrow.

Answers in bold.
