I also thought of the the Cowardly Lion needing courage. So, if we’re going with the Oz theme, I guess that makes Emma the metaphoric Dorothy-figure, since she’s always been looking for home. Yet, I don’t think Zelena is actually recreating the classic characters. I think she is using their totems for some bigger purpose like a spell which needs to draw power from other sources like David’s sword. The question then in my mind is what exactly she’s going to use those totems for and how?
