Ok, Gold "killed" Zelena, and now Zelena has "killed" Gold.

But, it would seem that, even with Magic, Gold is suffering from some serious heart problems, and has been for quite a while. Without Magic, and without Zelena's elixer, Gold did die (even if just momentarily). Let's face it, the medical monitor hooked to Gold flatlined, he died and was resussitated (sp?).

I am assuming that as some point off-screen, Zelena allowed Gold to have the real elixer once their deal was made, which has given him at least a brief respite on his ailment.
