I hope Emma does have her memories, but it seems like Kat is unsure? It sounds like her situation will resemble either S3 midseason (she has no memories, needs to be convinced again) or the S4 finale (she's locked up, needs Henry to find her, but she has memories). So it's...interesting....but looking a little familiar. And there's the one scene they filmed for 6x21-22 with Emma driving away from Henry, which looked like a goodbye to setgoers. That seems more like she doesn't have her memories to me.

If the plotline were to go the opposite of season 1, in which Emma absolutely believes that she's been ripped away from her fairytale family and needs to get back, I think that'd be a much better story than resetting Emma back to where she was in the pilot. There would definitely be an emphasis on her journey. I feel like this might also be where Andrew J. West comes in...? If Emma is dropped outside of SB in a different setting, that's good setup to come across a new mystery person. Just shooting in the dark here though, since we have no spoilers on him.

And they can probably use the same reasons they did in season 3 as to why Emma and Henry are special cases when it comes to curses and relocation, unless they want the Black Fairy to choose to single them out. Rumple's also kept in town this time.
