this has been playing around my head for a few days. i know no one can leave storybrook, but is that leave as in move to anther place or leave as in go to go on vacation. i know Henry left but he had to return. could someone else leave as long as they returned? if so that would enplane how Mr. Gold was able to get Henry.

I believe Mr. Gold can leave because he has position of power within the curse, per the arrangement he made with the Evil Queen. Some even suggest he has more power than the Queen/Regina.

Yeah, it's a curious power dynamic there, isn't it? She wields the reins in Storybrooke, but it seems that Mr. Gold has a hold over even her that carries over from Fairy Tale Land...
