Crazy Theory, but perhaps it's in part one when Emma gets "stabbed" (maybe at the end?), sending her to a dreamworld where things similar to the pilot happen, hense Henry in that asylum with her, possibly trying to convince her to come back to him and her family, but the BF is mayor because she is who cast the current curse. We know A&E have said The Final Battle really tests Emma's belief in her new reality, which was started in the pilot. And they said elelments from it come into play. I think, as Henry came to her then, he'll have to leave for whatever reason (maybe because of his Author powers?). Part two is defeating TBF, after Emma returns from the dreamworld.

Not detailed, but yeah...
