We also assumed that NEF is the only alternate Enchanted Forest he's been to. He's at least 5-7 years older by the time Regina and the others came to help him, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's been in NEF for that long. He seemed to have arrived just before the prince's ball, but we can't be completely sure. As for Lucy, I have no clue, especially since Regina and Hook don't look 10 years older in the present. They'd have to he mid 40's- 50 by that point. Yeah, Henry has definitely aged, but we can't actually say that it was in NEF (since he could have traveled across many realms) and was ready to leave NEF.

Nonetheless, that's not going to be revealed in this episode. I'm gonna have to stress these time mechanics and Wish Realm discussion into one singular thread because it's bleeding through.
