-He does not get to Emma.

-Emma does not remember her family

-Emma does not return to Storybrooke

-Henry gets killed by flying monkeys

-Emma does not get Snowing's meeting back on track

-Emma doesn't get her magic back (yes she did 90% of the work but Hook gave her the push in the right direction she needed). I think they mean after Emma got her memories back and went back to SB to save the day. Like say someone else came and did that (it really doesn't matter who), so let's say Red. If Red convinced Emma to take the memory potion, then everything still works the same.
