If there is a random bean somewhere in the EF and our heroes didn’t seek it out but instead cast a DARK CURSE then I am going to join @Corbin in table flipping.
Doesn’t even have to be a bean, even if it’s just a case of Hook fashioning the JR into a portal because enchanted wood, that’s still worth a table flip, because the others knew that that ship was enchanted wood. They instantly decided there was no other way to get to Emma, and no matter what method Hook used, if there WAS another way, that means the whole hot mess of Snow casting the Curse was avoidable.
