Maybe all inhabitants of SB who were from the EF (or any other land) were just split and copied over to the EF. So hook and the others may not have been affected by the first curse, but they would be by this one. But that begs the question of why Emma isn’t there… Oh wait, no. Snow could be pregnant with Emma in the EF rather than the new Snowflake…
It could be possible, but I think there’d have to be some time travel involved? Because if even the previously un-Cursed are getting split and sent back, but just to a parallel point on the t-word, then shouldn’t Emma at the least still go back, because she was actually born in FTL? Maybe Henry wouldn’t, because he was born here? But if the split personalities did jump back in time to before Emma was born, then yeah, she and Henry wouldn’t be there. But then Neal shouldn’t be in FTL either, or Hook, because they were both in NL, and Neal was still a boy. But a straight split where they *poof* to a parallel point \on the t-word to our present day, then yeah, I could see Neal and Hook both being there. But I’m not sure that Emma shouldn’t be there too.
My head hurts.
