But how will Emma and Hook know what happened in the original timeline if it is a closed time loop? If it was, then they wouldn't know about the events of how Snow hit Charming with a rock etc.

But I've got a seperate question:

So, if I'm getting this right, NEF timeline flows as the same speed as LWM right? The only reason they said otherwise in the articles was just that they didn't want to spoil it to us the time travel. No, they would. The issue is the book changing.

Emma and Hook read about Snow and Charming meeting. Travel back in time to the meeting. Adventure ensues. Goes back to the present and sees themselves in the book. It’s possible that it was always in the book, maybe not.

NFTL timeflow is unknown. We have to see when Hope was born to determine if timeflows differently.

Hope born around Lucy’s 8th birthday...timeflows fast in NFTL.
