What's to say that the Flashback isn't Zelena with the Tin Man, while the Present day is Zelena dealing with Serum EQ? Could be. Could be. Maybe Zelena kills her father. What? It seems to be all the rage in Once Villainy 101.

The implication for a while now has been that Zelena's father (a woodcutter) is the Tinman. In the original book, the Tinman was first a human woodcutter named Nick Chopper, before the Wicked Witch of the East cursed his ax so he kept cutting himself apart, and had to get a tinsmith to make him new body parts, until his whole body was tin. Combine that with the fact that Zelena's father seems rather heartless in personality, and I think it would be a clever twist to the story. And Zelena turning her father to tin and taking his heart, would also tie into her getting ingredients for her first attempt with the time travel spell. Basically, the writers have the perfect set up, I just hope they don't blow it. XD
