The manner of Zelena's death is somewhat strange; since she discovered the spell for going back in time, who says there aren't other ways? after the separation of her powers inside the locket, she was stabbed by Gold. However instead of just dropping dead, she turned into one of those vintage porcelain dolls that are hollow inside because of the firing process. Nonetheless, she crumbles; it is my belief that Rumple only managed to kill her 'husk' but her inner magic (soul) remains locked and protected in regina's tomb, only to be finally freed after her shell is destroyed. This leads to the theory that somehow her death by Rumple, along with Glinda's trick of separating her power, earlier activation of the time travel portal, allowed her to go back in time. The rub, is that her life was 'renewed' instead of the baby, so she actually may end up with no memory of who she is; basically a 'do-over' which she would have never wanted in the first place...at least not without her memories. My question is, all of this theory would be much more solid if the rest of ingredients were still in its original place. was it in place? my tv is down today, so no rewatch...anyways so much remains unanswered: how did she get to Regina's world, and could it be possible that she was wisked back to 'kansas' in the form of green cyclone again--only to prove the original prophecy right....only this time a really evil witch is truly residing for her in the west? I recalled that just Glinda was about to show her the way to the west where everything is a mystery, another cyclone came out of no where; is judy merely a distraction because who ever was residing in the west was not yet strong enough to face Wicked?
