Versus Regina forcing out EQ and EQ disappointed. Regina couldn't stand being with EQ. Regina then attempted to kill EQ (although to be fair, EQ was about to strike if Emma didn't stop her.

Some mismatch there, but I'm sure Jekyll is the original person, but with the way they sort of paralleled it and with Poole being on the side of the Warden/ Hyde, I can't help but think that Hyde might be the original. Poole may have just been bribed by Hyde to take his side (poet and I know it). In 2 episodes alone Hyde has proved a worthy person to make deals with, so anything could be read into Poole's loyalty to him.

As for which is the "original person", neither one of them is the original because they are both sides of the same person, just as Regina and EQ were once the same.
