I have been re-thinking; perhaps the "whom Regina has just banished from Storybrooke" bit applies to any Oz Flashbacks occurring in 5x19.

Whatever the case, the flashbacks in 5x16 have to be the closest thing to coming to the EF after a failed attempt to go back in time -- maybe she considers that if she goes back in time, from Oz, then she will just end up in Oz's past and decides to go to the EF as that's where Cora gave her up and it is the EF's past she needs to get too.
