You guys are killing me. The only thing we have seen Ratched do that would be actual direct orders from Regina would be her giving Zelena a special meal. A healthier one, presumably, than the standard hospital one. That doesn't make her evil. She works for the hospital, and everything else we've seen her do has been her job as a nurse.

I'm not even trying to say that she is or isn't evil. I'm saying that we simply don't know either way, and the assumptions being made that she's a villain seem to have either no evidence, or are based on wildly incorrect theories of what nurses should be like or how hospitals work.

Regina didn't put Zelena in the psych ward alone. She has the support of the "heroes", and Regina is even supported by the townspeople now, as we've seen. Take Regina out of the equation, and Racheted would still be serving Zelena in the psych ward.
