Reply To: Zelena, Emma and the Wand

[Slurpeez]

What is Emma’s plan and how does it involve using Merlin’s magic?

So, in reply to my own question, I think Emma’s plan is obviously to use the apprentice’s wand to re-forge Excalibur. Perhaps Emma thinks she can use it for good, although Merlin did warn that doing so even for good reasons would lead to bad consequences.

This is actually the more interesting part of the conversation for me. So anyone who wields Merlin’s magic dies? Does that mean that whatever plan Emma has cooked up–I guess reuniting the dagger and Excalibur–will single her death? And Emma seems to know this.

Yes, she does. Yet, Emma is immortal, so in theory, she wouldn’t even have to worry about possibly dying from reuniting Excalibur. (Unless Excalibur is the exception, much like the dagger). So why does Emma need Zelena’s help? Is Emma trying to lure Zelena to her death? Zelena did bring up killing Neal again. Maybe Emma is trying to get revenge. (Unlikely, but Zelena did bring it up).
