Charming stopped under his own volition because he remembered, not
because he was prevented by a magic force, so he did an instant 180 to
find Snow. It wasn't as if he hit some barrier-at least not yet.
Still, I do concede the possibility of you being right because it
would be a way to keep most of the Storybrooke denizens from fleeing
to the outside world if they wanted to remain in this world if they
wanted to and live somewhere else. If so and you are right would Mr.
Gold and Regina be bound by that limitation?

Why? There is no need for them to go back and yes they all wondered
around a bit because their memories of who they really are conflicts
massively with what they thought they were raised with. It would be
confusing and put people in a bit of a shock, and I think everyone
knows who they really are now, without exception; they just need time
to digest it. However, it could mean that they would need a separate
spell to send them home but for all tents and purposes the curse is
broken.

Well That could've happen but it is predicated on the two premises
above which I don't think it is necessary.

Regina seems to think so with her smile of the violet fog rolling in
towards her. Besides you need someone to oppose Rumpelstiltskin.
Having at the very least Regina regaining her powers would do that.
The Mad Hatter and the fairies would be counters to both Regina and
Mr. Gold as well. I have a feeling that Jefferson has it in special
for Regina LOL!

I actually think so given that the doctor essentially said that there
was no scientific reason for Henry to be in the state he was in (but
it could've been psychosomatic if you really want to dig for an
Earthly reason), but I also think it was Emma's panic that rendered
her thoughts irrational so she was open to it. The previous times her
mind was too clear and certain for the book to work.
