So in this twist, perhaps Zelena has a deal w/ the Wizard to obtain these symbols and he'll send her "home". For her, "home" could be symbolic of giving her a life she's always dreamed of. She keeps saying things like, "I want you have" or "My dreams are just being realized.". So maybe all her wickedness is being used to obtain a happy ending. (Guessing she won't get it, that'll she'll be killed.)

I really like this theory.... it is incredibly plausible.

Zelena is jealous of everyone, and that jealousy must stem from somewhere. She was raised without a mother, and the man she considers her father was a drunk. Her younger sister became a queen, and has everything in the world. Despite being the Evil Queen, Regina has found a home and family. She has Henry, the Charmings, Robin Hood and Roland.
