I, for one, am on the collateral damage bandwagon, regarding the frozen nature of Marian/Zelena. And as for Zelena noticing Ingrid, I doubt it. One of the deleted scenes had Regina confronting Ingrid not long after she arrived to Storybrooke (well before Emma even showed up). Regina did think something a little off at first, since she didn't recognize Ingrid right away, but soon had accepted her as a part of the curse. Ingrid must have done a very good job of blending into the background to fool Regina (and Gold for that matter) for all the years that she was there. So Ingrid was, imo, very good at not being noticed.

Back to Heart of Gold, I thought it really interesting the Zelena inserted herself into the "Operation:Mongoose" storyline by wanting to find the author, and did so PRIOR to Gold gathering the QOD in the LWM. So was/is Gold trying to use the QOD to doublecross Zelena? Gold has some intricate game going on, and he is playing everyone against everyone else. And something tells me that it is all getting ready to blow up in his face, again. (Some guys just never learn)
