I do believe Jefferson’s wife got stuck in Wonderland, and that’s why Jefferson was so reluctant to go back.
But then why didn’t he show any sign of wanting to go look for her if she was just trapped there? Or if she died there, why wasn’t he more torn over going back to the place he lost her?
Good question. Were we ever given a hint for how long his wife was “gone”? Was it years? Or weeks? If it was years, then maybe he did go back years ago but couldn’t find her. The conversation between Jefferson and the EQ hinted that Jefferson had a past when he wasn’t so poor (in FTL.) Also, I noticed a lot of comments that claim Jefferson was some kind of Magician or Sorcerror or something. Where did that come from? Just because he had a magic hat…so what? His comment to Regina: “…not my rules, the Hat’s rules” suggested to me he didn’t create the hat.

To me, his line about hating Wonderland was more of an exasperated, “I hate having to deal with the annoying creatures in this ridiculous place,” as opposed to a dislike for a place where he suffered a traumatic event like losing his wife.
I agree completely. I also had the same notion. I didn’t suggest his wife died, just that she got lost or stuck in Wonderland years ago, and therefore Jefferson was hesitant about going back.
