Regina also brought Frankenstein and Jefferson to Storybrooke because she wanted to, even though they were in other realms. Why would Snow bring Whale back? :P Cos, awkward... I mean, did Whale get transported back to his land without color when the Curse was undone? I think the writers just forgot about stuff like that. I guess what Apple was trying to say was that when Regina changed Pan's curse everyone in SB was brought back to the EF in their 'original' forms. So it might be possible that Maleficent reverted back to human/dragon. And I think Snow's curse brought everyone in the first curse and more (probably all of EF this time) back to SB.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Undoing the first curse restored everyone to their original personas of who they were before the first curse was cast. I want to believe casting the second curse basically redid some of same effects, but probably not all. Like, Regina's curse erased everyone's memories of their former lives, but Snow's curse didn't do that. Was that because the Wicked Witch added the forgetting potion so they only forgot the past year? What if she didn't? Would they have just been erased of all their memories of their former lives again?
