Elsa would still be in it, but since Emma and Hook went back in time to a point BEFORE Emmas parents even met, but during the time period the Arendelle events took place at the same time, Rumps might have just put the urn in his vault days before Hook and Emma and Marian were dropped into it.

So yes, complicated but to me it makes sense; Jane E, the writer for tonights episode, even said I was closer than I thought to being right {I had guessed anywhere between 8 weeks to 2 years at the most in the urn, so 12 weeks makes the most sense to me now}
