The Fairydust will work on the OTHER hat.

While you do make compelling points Phee, I do think that it worked. You are correct in the “signs of the hats magic” thing, but I do not believe there was enough magic in the hat to thoroughly go between worlds, because, as you said, Emma was not thoroughly convinced, which held back her powers. However, there was, as you said, a “whooshing sound”, which makes me believe that something magical did indeed happen. Besides, if someone just karate kicked me out of a window, and fell 2-3 stories with shard of glass all around me, I wouldn’t immediately be on my feet. That sound was magic. How strong, we don’t know. He could have gone to a different part of Storybrooke, or to a different time, maybe a few hours later in that spot. He could have even literally gone into the hat, with just enough magic to shrink him, but not enough to actually open the portal to the Hall of Doors (https://oncepodcast.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=477&hilit=hat#p3634) and then had to wait until the spell wore off. The point I’m trying to make is there was SOMETHING magical that happened with that hat, and perhaps the Fairydust is all that’s needed to access it’s full potential.

And remember, we did see him again last season, when he retrieved the apple for Regina.

I think the hat Emma made is magic and Jefferson did fall through it. It seemed as though when Mary Margaret kicked Jefferson out the window both women were surprised by her action so Snow’s true personality (character)…came through..magic. The only other time we saw that was in True North when she held Emma’s baby blanket. When her mother (Snow) is around her or objects of Emma’s the magic comes through a bit.

Now that Jefferson has Grace back I don’t know why he wouldn’t share with Charming about the second hat…unless he plans to use it as he sees fit. Highest bidder type of thing.

Well, I can think of one reason why he might not share. Rules of the hat, however many enter, the same number leaves. Even if Charming were to get a hold of a working hat, bringing anyone back becomes tricky because someone would have to stay behind. It’s still a valuable tool for getting between worlds but it’s a bad way to try and rescue anybody.
