And what would Kurt even say when trying to get his son? "Well, we were in this town, I saw a glowing red heart... by the way, it's gone now!" Heck, maybe they even put Owen in some serious therapy after he left Storybrooke, and Kurt wasn't given access because his son sounded, well, crazy. They may have concluded Kurt abandoned him, barring him access. Do I think any of this is likey, no, but anything is possible.

And my "lobotomy isn't a reliable way to wipe memories" and "it's not how we know Regina does things" points remain XD

I think we both are in agreement that the man has disappeared, though. Can't wait to find out the exact how of it. ;)
