Ingrid also had the ability to leave Stroybrooke, like Emma, Hook and Regina, since she wasn't cursed in the first curse. The thing that makes sense the most is that Ingrid just esacpted Pan's curse by crossing the line and to find Emma again. But the Apprentice has that power too. And they never really found out who the Apprentice was, despite him seemingly having a house.

Noone should have been able to leave because technically, Ingrid would lose her memories that she had in SB and also if Neal didn't go, it still makes no sense. There is no reason Neal wouldn't go with Emma. I would except Francis's theory, but the second they landed in the EF, Neal made plans to go back right away.
