They were dead too. I'm so confused. What a mess. Cruella was present in EF though. The Wish Realm was created by copying EF and everyone in it at a specific point during the Charmings' war to reclaim the kingdom. Cruella was present in "real" EF until after Emma was conceived post-war and the events of 4x16 happened. With the defeat of WishQueen, the Queens of Darkness didn't seek an alliance with the WishCharmings and WishCruella (and presumably WishUrsula) remained in WR.

The real Peter Pan must've returned to EF briefly at the point in time EF was copied. Real Pan returned to Neverland, but WishPan became stuck in WR.
