I hope that visitor that gives Regina a gift is the Blind Witch not Cora Well, I'm assuming once Cora realized there was a portal creating rabbit in Wonderland, and that he was easy to manipulate, she would come and go as she pleases. I do agree that it is a bit dumb that it seems now that Cora was going back and forth on a regular basis, but on the other hand it could explain why Regina wanted to make sure her mother was dead before casting the Dark Curse. I mean, wouldn't Cora have had to travel back to the EF to kidnap Henry in the first place? So in that regard, it could actually make sense. Yes, that too. One of the complaints we had about 420 was that they could have shown Cora kidnap Henry and they didn't, so maybe it will be in this episode. But the problem it creates is the Jefferson debacle as Cora wanted a way to travel back and it only makes the story retconny because Once Wonderland established the Rabbit, but you could say he hid his ability, but it makes little sense that Cora would have Jefferson make another hat when she has the equivalent. But even if you look at "Hat Trick" on its own, it begs the question of how Cora managed to kidnap Henry in the first place. And you can't because the show didn't end there. At that episode, yes, one would wonder, but with all the new information, it still will be retconny with recent events.
