History

During Fifth Curse

After Regina casts Drizella's curse to save Henry's life, the Blind Witch assumes the identity of a baker named Hilda and begins to run a bakery in Hyperion Heights. ("The Eighth Witch," "A Taste of the Heights")

The day of the murder of Andrea Sage, a fellow member of the Coven of the Eight, Hilda sells the Doctor her usual teacake, as Dr. Sage tells Hilda that her test results came back clean. ("A Taste of the Heights")

After Sage's death, Rogers and Weaver, two detectives from the police station, ask Hilda about Dr. Sage on the day of her death. The baker tells the detectives all she knows, but as she is blind, she did not see anything out of the ordinary. Rogers tries to investigate the bakery but is stopped by Hilda from going in the back of the bakery. Hilda suggests the detectives ask the butcher next door and offers the duo a gingerbread man, revealing the tattoo on her wrist depicting the sign of the Coven of the Eight. The detectives leave, suspicious of the baker, planning to figure out what she is up to. Later, the detectives break into Hilda's bakery at night, in hopes of finding what Hilda is hiding. They find the kitchen filled with gas from the ovens and Hilda, unconscious and handcuffed to one of the tables by the killer. ("A Taste of the Heights")
