One might argue that there’s no way anyone could come to the conclusion that “wait, this is a body snatcher!” But is the trick of magically emulating someone else so unheard of in EF that Robin wouldn’t even dream of thinking that something like that might be happening to “Marian”?
I would kind of agree with this if they weren’t in NYC. They left Storybrooke for a Land Without Magic. I don’t see any way Robin would have the thought that the little personality quirks “Marian” were related to any type of long con glamour in such a setting.
If the pregnancy is fake, then what was Zelena’s end game here?
I’ve been trying to figure this out as well. Zelena faked the Snow Queen curse to get Roland and Robin away from Regina so he would fall in “love” with her. Ok. Not sure how long that’s suppose to last…
Zelena finds out about the Author because of the conversation Robina and Rumple have in Neal’s apartment. She tells Rumple that she can’t quite get Robin to fall for her so now she wants the Author to write her a happy ending. Ok. Clearly that doesn’t involve continuing to live as Marian because that is ‘dull’.
So she gets Rumple’s help. He has is vague conversation about ‘grasping your happy ending’ with Robin. Robin decides to recommit to his marriage and…she gets pregnant? This will ensure that Regina and Robin will not leave her out of Storybrooke so that she can meet up with Rumple.
At this point…I’m not sure what Zelena wants. To become Regina? Continue to make Robin and Regina miserable? Bring Cora back? Who knows!
