Oh wow, Eskaver. I expected you to just say "cos plot made it so". Which is my go-to answer now for any and everything that happens on the show that doesn't really make a lick of sense when you really get to thinking about it (and sometimes you don't even have to think that hard): "Why did [...] happen?" "Because it was in the script."

Let's face it, fate or not, Rumple got Regina to cast the curse because. Just... because.
