Can someone explain that to me, I really cannot make up any theories and I am loosing my mind. (I think I may watch Back to the Future just to clear my mind up a little bit) Or they have to maintain everything the same before some determined time so nothing changes? Or are they traveling to a second version of the past? That's why their tasks is to avoid changing the past under circumstances and to return to the present at Storybrooke. Just 1 tiny action and they can destroy the entirely connected relatives. But until Sunday we still don't know whether they might ruin it or not.

I understand that, but if they change something that would mean their dissapearance in present time, then they would die instantly during the past. I don't know if I am being clear. But I still have a question: does Emma and Hook's time travel mean that they were present when Charming and Snow actually met? And that everything that passed during their travel actually happened and they were present in there?
