It was exactly what we saw with the urn and Elsa but with the sorcerer hat instead. So, someone (I guess the apprentice) was supposed to emerge from the hat. I don't know if this is official but I've read it several times.

About Zelena, I do accept that the green smoke at the of 3x20 was pretty suspicious.

But.... The the Marian=Zelena part is iffy for me. I mean, they literally said the season 3 finale would be Wicked Witch-free

Of course, I wasn't expecting for them to spoil the whole thing in the interview, but that was a blatant lie, because Zelena was clearly there (as Marian). So they deliberately lied to the fans?

Also, how did Zelena know Robin and Roland were her family? How did she even know her name was Marian?

It wasn't a lie. Sure, she was there, but it didn't affect the story on Emma and Hook's POV. Marian was herself until they knocked her out and left her for a little while.

Also, Zelena spied on Emma and Hook. She saw everything they did. So she could have recognize Marian with the knowledge she previously got from spying on the Evil Queen during all these years.
