I’m late to the game, but I have an interesting, albeit somewhat batty theory. What if the Wicked Witch of the West is really Jefferson’s long-lost wife and Grace’s mother? That would make a lot of sense, considering the following: – Jefferson is a realm-jumper who used his portal to travel to many worlds, including Oz. (The door covered by a green curtain is door to Oz, as seen in 1×17). Also, we know from 2×5 that Jefferson has traveled to Oz, because he said the ruby slippers had left that land just before he got there. Rumple had employed Jefferson for his realm-jumping services, and paid him in gold for the Wicked Witch’s crystal ball. – In 1×17, Jefferson said that Grace’s mother was “lost” (which is code for “not dead” just as Rumple said was lost, not dead). – In 1×17, Regina said to Jefferson, “You don’t leave family behind” in a somewhat jeering way, suggesting that Jefferson and Regina are related somehow. I don’t think Jefferson is Regina’s brother; I think he is her brother-in-law, because he was/is married to the WWW, who could be Regina’s sister!
