Why didn't Neal leave with Emma so they could be with Henry together? The town line has no effect on him after all. Neal, Hook, and Tink are taken back for the simple reason that they are in LWM and they are from elsewhere. And while Hook, Tink, Neal and Ariel weren't victims of the first curse, they *were* intended to be victims of the second curse. They had to go back to avoid it. Only Emma had an escape clause.
