If Zelena is Marian, why would she not turn back once outside of Storybrooke and Magic (ie In NYC)? Not saying that it doesn't happen, but I want a good explanation for that one.

Otherwise, Zelena being Marian this whole time is quite plausible. (and I hope it happens)

And, btw, we also know that Barbara Hershey is coming back for an episode. While I do not expect her to be resurrected, at this point I am going to say that nothing is impossible.

Which means, if that happens (which I doubt), we do not have just 3 queens of darkness, we have a whole flock. Can you even imagine the type of chaos that would abound with Cora, Zelena, Regina, Cruella, Ursula, Maleficenta (see what I did there), and Emma all running loose around town? And of course, every last one of them is going to want a piece of Rumple. Plot device. I mean the dragon was able to use magic and Walsh was able to turn into a monkey. I believe only magic/enchanted items, ingredients can work in a land without magic. So far magic hearts, sleeping curse, rock troll rocks, cloaking spell on Hook's ship, the shadow, and false memories given by magic works in a Land without Magic. Just not Chernabog or magic users magic for whatever reason.
