Why are some people trying to give Emma credit for breaking the second curse?  She is not responsible.  Why is it so necessary to some fans that she be somehow responsible for every defeat on this show? This is like Hook telling Emma that she was responsible for Pan and Zelena's defeats, when she really wasn't. Emma is only responsible for breaking the first curse. And that is because Rumpel manipulated that particular curse, using Snow and David's DNA to ensure that their offspring would do the deed. This is why Emma was called "the Savior" in the first place. Why everyone is still calling her "the Savior" is beyond me.

Regina did not require breaking the second curse with "twu luv's kiss" in order to defeat Zelena. Even after breaking the second curse, she could have easily failed. Regina simply summoned something within herself and did it. It also helped that she wasn't trying to kill or "destroy" Zelena this time.
