All the Zelena-Regina confrontations have been letdowns for me. Too middle/high school catfight-ish and very cheesy.

I also don't get the green with envy plot. Everyone gets envious, so why was Zelena the only one to turn green? My thought was that maybe it's a consequence or side effect of using/wearing the Silver Slippers. I guess it could be tied to her father and powers too though. If so, I suppose Walsh knew because of whatever magical object allowed him to look into Zelena's past. I think it has to do with the magic Zelena dealt in, and yes, it might be a side effect of the Silver Slippers. Remember when Regina went to Rumple asking for Cora's book? She said, "I don't care if it turns me green..." when Rumple warned her of the potency of the spells in the book. So "turning green with envy" would likely be a consequence of magic used, and is not necessarily true for all magic users.
