I think he was on a secret mission from the blue fairy. Since she is the know all being she might have told him to find a way not to LWM but to Wonderland to find Glinda the good witch. Once he did that he was able to hand her over to the blue fairy so they could create a plan to save everyone. It's interesting that in the recent episodes that we barely see any of the nuns/fairies in Storybrook, as far as I remember, so I think Zelena made sure that they didn't come for the ride.
