No magic beans, no apprentices wands, no last minutes dark curses. Yeah, they could have asked a fairy at any rate. They could have went to non-exiostent Camelot. They could have met a mermaid. They could have went to Camelot and what? Is there a portal in there? What could happen if they ask a fairy? Blue told Bae that all the beans were gone. At least the beans that they had. And I believe that mermaid can only travel in the deep of an ocean. So no, MM and Emma didn't have a lot of options. But maybe MM could have asked the Apprentice to open a portal for them too. She saw he has that ability back in the EF before the curse. But she could've thought that Apprentice were cursed too. LOL there are too many "could have"s. But I think it's still hard to open a portal. At least for a land without magic. Magic.

But they could have found what they needed in a random book. But I was kidding with the list of options. The way they came back was fine as Cora and Hook came back on a bean.

Well, there are only three ways to travel to a land without magic and that is bean, shadow, and Dark Curse...oh, and wardrobe...and door...and a spell by the Apprentice. And Rumple was never smart enough to go after those things. Also, shady Blue Bitch never telling him about them.
