[Note the lack of anything disparaging said about Emma. Until Emma got derailed by what Regina had thought were Pan's lies, they'd actually worked well together. But maybe we should keep the 'Regina taught Emma magic' bomb for a little while later.
But oh. Yes. Emma wasn't there, she can't skip over important details. She looks uncomfortable, like it's reflecting her failure as a parent that she couldn't stop Henry from willingly giving over his heart.]
Henry's heart is special. 'The Heart of the Truest Believer.' On Neverland, it allowed him to literally believe things into existence. [Is that a fond look on her face?] But Pan wanted it, to save himself. He tricked Henry into believing that by handing over his heart, he'd be saving magic. Pan managed to slow us down, and when we got there Henry hadn't done it yet.

He just wanted to be a hero.
