The episode shows everyone currently in Storybrooke getting returned to present day Enchanted Forest, but keeping all their memories, with the exception of Emma and Henry, who's memories are changed so that Emma never gave Henry up in the first place. Storybrooke is appearently turned back into the forest it originally was. One year later, Hook shows up, somehow getting back to the World Without Magic, and tells Emma (who of course can't remember him), everybodies in trouble. I understand all that, here's where it gets confusing, in previews we've seen both everybody who was transported back in the Enchanted Forest, and people (including people who were never their before) back in Storybrooke, which is back to normal. The only explination I can think of is the Wicked Witch of the West casted some kind of Copycat Curse of Regina's Curse (It can't be Regina's Curse because that scroll was destroyed, right?). But Hook escaped it some how? IDK. Needless to say, if I'm correct, then only Hook and Wicked Witch (and maybe Rumple, I'm 99.9% sure he's not actually dead) have their real memories, and everybody, including people who weren't cursed before (Phillip, Aurora, Mulan, Robin), plus Emma and Henry need their memories restored. That's the best I can come up with at any rate, I guess we'll find out how right that is in March No, I think they do have their memories. I think you're right, I also think there is a second curse, cast by the Wicked Witch. A similar curse as Regina's Dark Curse, but a little different: I think everyone keeps their memories. Belle asks: 'Do you know who cursed us?'. If you don't have your memories, you don't know you're cursed. So that means if everyone knows they are cursed, they have to have their memories. (And otherwise it would be the same as season 1, and I really don't want that.)
