Second, I think that Ingrid's original Ice spell (on the Ice Cream Cone) caught Zelena completely by surprise, meaning that Zelena does owe her life to Regina on that one. The relapse one that led to Robin and Roland going to the LWM was most likely faked, as part of Zelena's master plan to continue to ruin Regina's life.

And I honestly don't remember Regina casting a sleep spell on her.

However, one thought. Going back to the very beginning of the season, when Regina rescues Marian from Marshmallow, Marian/Zelena makes the comment that "You really aren't a monster, are you?" I think I may have to go review those interactions between Marian and Regina from earlier in the season with the viewpoint that it is actually Zelena in disguise.
