Zelena didn't set up a way to get out of being killed by the EQ because she desperately wanted to trust her. The reason she teamed with her in the first place was because she was desperate for a sister and the EQ promised to be that. Protecting herself from betrayal would be admitting that the EQ could be lying.

I agree that she didn't try. Why would she? In any other fight, it's her style to fight back, but those are fights where she has a chance. She'd fight back against Regina or Emma because they can be stopped by her power. But Zelena's tried to use magic on a serum counterpart before - Hyde in the Season 5 finale - and knows that it has no effect at all. She had already said goodbye to her daughter; as far as she was aware, there was nothing left to do. Even if she teleported away, the EQ could find her. Or take Robyn as leverage.
