Because the way I see it is that we're both shackled in our own way. And the question is, who is the actual prisoner and to whom?

History

During Fifth Curse

The Witch was brought to Seattle as a result of the fifth Curse and is locked in Belfrey Towers by Victoria Belfrey. One day, after Victoria successfully obtains the coffin of her daughter Anastasia from the Community Garden, she visits her prisoner.

("The Garden of Forking Paths")

Production Notes

  • Her original casting announcement described her as "the Witch who is as wicked as they come",[1] before being deleted.[2]
    • According to Adam Horowitz, this description is mainly speculation from the press as the writing staff never used the word "wicked" to describe this character.[3]
  • The Witch has no connection to Zelena, the Wicked Witch, or Oz.[4]
