1. Just accept that the DC can time travel too.

2. Alice didn’t have her magic back in the episode. Nook was guessing.

3. With Alice and Robin....use some context clues. Even if they didn’t come at the same time, they have magic beans, so they simply followed them.

4. Kelly was at the coronation. Kelly told Chad everything in Chosen.

5. Blame Regina, but I’m pretty sure she dragged him via DC because Marco never got to raise him without interference.

6. There is no Wish Cora, Valet, etc. you made that up. Wish Queen is deader than a doorknob, Serum Queen and Wish Robin are just somewhere else.

7. Each district (which is what they are) have their own reps, Regina is just the elected leader over then. Think of it like a mayor and a city council.

8. Watch the episode. Wish Rumple stripped Rumple of his powers and immortality. Magic (seen in episode 2) doesn’t distinguish who is who. (Yes, the writers even has magic confused by the plot) So, Rumple uses Wish Rumple’s magic to trade his/Weaver’s life for Hook’s which ends the Darkness.

9. Again, Weaver was strippped of his powers.

11. If you watch the season, Rumple clearly said that to cure Hook it means that you’d have to do “a life for a life”.

8Rob had a few valid points. No, they don't have to "spell it out to you" (which I find a rude response), but the writers do have a duty to try and explain a few things properly in order for viewers to make better sense of it. A few things have unfortunately confused viewers.
