So, I can accept that only Emma and Henry can stay because Emma broke the curse, but why take back those it did not come with? They went back with the curse to keep their memories. See my post above.

Also, the curse took back anyone within SB that was not born in LWM, not just those affected by the First Curse. This explains Tink, Hook, Neal, Pinnochio, and likely some others returning to EF. Additionally, Alexandra could not have simply "disappeared" when they went back to EF and then "recreated" when they returned to SB. 1. Magic does not work like that. 2. Why would Ashley be acting normal with Alexandra if she had been destroyed then recreated? (this was after the Second Curse was broken) It didn't make sense if Alexandra was unchanged when they went back to EF, as the curse was reverted, and things turned back to their states before the curse was casted. Neal being an exception because he wasn't there when the first curse was casted, but the nuns turned back to fairies, and Archie turned back to a cricket had proven this point. Therefore, Alexandra should at least turn back as a fetus inside Cinderella's body.

It just didn't make sense if Alexandra returned to EF as a baby. Either Cinderella had to give birth to Alexandra again, or she disappeared due to the curse being reverted. Also, Cinderella didn't appear at all after they returned to EF, so we don't know her rection even Alexandra indeed disappeared. And why would Ashley not acting normal? I mean, Alexandra returned already. There's no point for her to fussing around anymore, right? Neal wasn't an exception: he simply remained the way he was because he had aged in the meantime. All the things that were reverted back or forth (fairies, dwarves, Giminy and so on, but also Smee, who turned back into a man) had to do with magic, but why would the natural processes such as aging, or healing, as Eskaver points out, be reverted as well? Even dead people remained dead, so why would the naturally developed and naturally born Alexandra revert to a fetus?
