Forget this arc, look at what they did with Zelena in 3B. XD True, But "No Body, No Death". Technically we did see her body. It turned to china, and shattered. And that still didn't matter. XD I actually think the weird manner in how she was "killed" always opened up the possibility that it wasn't a permanent death. Rumple could have done his traditional heart crushing method, but they chose to have him do the odd doll shattering thing. Not to mention, it was said that her life force was literally in the pendant, so I guess that's why she survived. Her life force was contained within the pendant? I thought Glinda said it harnassed and developed her magic, which is why it was contained within the pendant. But, I suppose it could be thought of either way.

Zelena was born from birth with magical powers, so I suppose it is an integral part of her soul, thus it would have to contain her life force, not just the magic, but her actual soul since splitting Zelena's two essences would probably result in her death.

But how did she manage to regain her physical body if Rumple shattered it? It was clear that her physical body literally fell to pieces. However, Zelena's life force did accompany Emma and Hook through the time portal. Since they travelled before Rumple killed her physical body, her life force must have reverted back inside into her pre-Storybrooke body.

But, that would mean there was an additional Zelena, one from the present (or future, if percieved through the pre-Dark Curse Enchanted Forest timeline) and one from the past (or present, if percieved through the pre-Dark Curse Oz timeline). Well, two Hook's did exist at one point. I think Glinda's line was something like "Protect this pendant with your life, because in many ways it now is." Oh, I think I do remember her saying that, actually.
