I have not seen all of Wonderland, but I did see the first episode. and from what I recall, the White Rabbit appeared in Storybrooke to get Will (the Knave) at the same time as the beginning of the Second season. The same mangled set that was used when the Wraith came for Regina is used for that opening sequence.

It's quite possible that WOnderland happened concurent to season 2. Then when Regina reversed the curse, everyone that was brought over was returned to their original locales. (though that does not explain Hook, Tink, or Neal, but that is a different topic) This caused Will to return to the EF, and then he was brought back to SB with Snow's curse. And without any of the usual contrivences, the Knave is unable to return to Wonderland.

How this might relate to Will and Belle is that maybe Will tells Belle about his situation, and she agrees to help him find some way back to Wonderland. And it is not unheard of for 2 broken hearts to feel an attraction for each other. Particularly if they are sharing their experiences with each other. (just a theory) Do you think Rumple is going to try and kill Will now, also there is still a problem for him, Belle still has the dagger and if she finds out Rumple is in Storybrooke she could order him to leave again or stop his plans with the Queens of Darkness
