Okay so why did Hansel remember, did curse persona him have a sister killed by the cult, and that plus Henry's book trigger something. Did he never forget bc he has multiple personalities already? He built Jack, history and all, and became the Jack of NEF. And maybe that mental fracture made it impossible to forget truly in the curse. Which means, he also has curse memories of hooking up with his "best friend's" wife. But if he remembers everything, then he remembers their friendship, and it doesn't really matter to him. And now he's after Zelena, but we know for sure she's not part of that coven. A. Gothel was getting it together around when she recruited Robin to kill her for her power. B. Gretel's death occurs around that time, because Ivy doesn't start working on the curse in full until around Lucy's birth, and then is made stone etc.

The promo shows that she might have relation to the Candy Witch of NEF/MF but if you were after them the whole time, it would have been much easier to kill her when you were in in MF baring the magic. Basically what does it take to enable him to remember, and take advantage of the weakness of the witches? And why? Sure Ivy she actually killed Gretel, in self-defense but still. You already killed the Candy Witch. Why is this tale different? And why are both of Cora's daughters involved with Hansel and Gretel's? It's weird.
