I would have to label this as a plot hole/ contrivance. Neal had to return, but arrived via other means. Ingrid, Ursula, and Cruella arrived via other means, but didn't have to return. So, all in all, this was a way to separate Neal and Hook from Emma for no reason other than the plot. And also, Pinnochio!
