Some people were saying that Cora coming to the Enchated Forest is a plot hole, but is isn't.

Think about this: Alice and Will were getting the White Rabbit from Cora's guards in the episode To Catch a Thief, so Cora captured the rabbit and went to the Enchanted Forest but then went back to Wonderland before the rabbit is stolen in the maze. Cora's idea of building a dynasty must have been inspired by her grooming of Anastasia so she can take over Wonderland when Cora leaves for good. But when Regina drank that potion, Cora angrily went back to Wonderland and she probably kidnapped Henry Sr. on the way out of the palace just to spite Regina, and to show her how much alone she really wasn't until that moment. The White Rabbit must have laid low after Alice and Cyrus freed him in the maze in Trust Me. So then Jefferson was later tricked into going to Wonderland with Regina and Cora wanted him to make a hat because the White Rabbit wasn't anywhere to be found.
