He must have run away because if the hat DID work he would have tried to kidnap(?) paige/grace and bring her back to the enchanted forest. He is a smart man and would not really try to show his face for a while after two people he drugged/attacked and held hostage escaped and could tell anyone what happened. My guess is that he hid for a bit until he was sure MM and emma had left and were not coming back anytime soon, his house is pretty distanced from town so it would be no problem for him not to be noticed if he just stayed at home for a while.
