I don't think everyone is baffled. At least I'm not.

I'm just more disappointed. However, they can still work in a Will/Ana story and reunion if they can get both the stars back for one episode. And it honestly would not be that hard (from a story perspective), should the writers choose a realm-jumping type of storyline to handle the searches for Emma and Merlin.

One of the places the gang is led to on the search is Wonderland, And since Will is the most available person that is familiar with Wonderland (unless Jefferson ever reappears, highly doubtful), the gang seeks his help. The A plot of the episode is obviously whatever moves the search/quest plot forward, but the Will/Ana plot would make a good B plot. And at the end of the episode, Will can stay in Wonderland with Ana. This resolves a lot of issues, and honestly makes an even stronger connection between the two shows..
