That whole scenario just doesn’t make sense to me and doesn’t go with what the show has told us about the curse. How many times did Henry say bad things happen when people try to leave…that would apply to all those cursed. Jefferson was cursed…his curse was just a little different. Instead of forgetting he got to remember and watch his child happy with another family but he was a victim of the dark curse all the same…same rules.
Yeah, just like how Maleficent’s punishment was to remain a dragon here.
