As to Regina, guys, please, her line in 205 means the exact opposite of what people guess. She did NOT bring Victor because she wanted to.

See the scene. Whale claims that her curse only brings the living. Archie says that is not true because Henry Sr, was brought. Regina answers "I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHALE or his brother. I brought who I wanted."

She brought her father because she wanted. She brought Daniel because she wanted. This is about dead people being brought, unlike Gerhardt who was not brought. She can choose to bring or to leave behind dead people, corpses - which are like objects and items that she brought. As to the living, she doesn't get to choose. She even got Cora "killed" instead of just choosing to leave her behind. Regina says she doesn't care about Whale. To her, it doesn't matter whether he is here or there, with or without his brother.

PS: As to Jefferson, I myself had a theory that he managed to enter Storybrooke after the curse was cust, somehow like Ingrid or August, which would explain his memories being intact. But I do think it is possible that he left Wonderland shortly before the curse, along with Will Scarlet, both being wiped away by the curse then.
