That sounds about right for Robin. He may be a thief, but he is an honorable one. Hopefully, Regina will respect that in him and just be patient. I feel that Marion is going to resolve in a surprising way The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is NOT the true Marion, but someone (or something) that is trying to get close to Regina and ruin any happiness.

Considering the fact that, unless my reckoning is wrong, Snow Falls (and therefore Snow Drifts) takes place prior to the events in Lacey (when Robin Hood was released by Belle and eventually cures Marion prior to childbirth), then this can not be the real Marion, and the Real Marion is still with Robin.

In fact, if this is a fake Marion, circumstanital evidence is pointing more and more to one person, that we believed to be dead, but may in fact not be dead. For that person to know about Regina and Robin, they would either need to be a fairy (to do what Tink did for Regina, only without her knowing), or it would have to be someone with knowledge of the future. And to assume the form of Marion, they would need to be well versed in magic. And, given as how "Marion" was captured early in Snow Drifts, in fact very close to the same time as Emma and Hook's arrival, makes me suspicious about the timing. And knowing that Marion died, which is something that Robin feels guilty about, requires even more future knowledge.

The whole "attack", if you will is to drive a wedge between Regina and Robin, the one thing that truly gives Regina happiness. And while Regina has many enemies, there are only a few that can manipulate magic and TIME. My money is on Zelena.

Ok, there is a large amount of supposition in all of this, and the whole thing may be sitting on a foundation of paper doused in gasoline with a match ready to be struck.
