Thing is though, this show presents true love as the be all and end all and that TL couple should be together. Hades wants Zelena to TLK him so his heart starts beating again. Hades using Zelena doesn’t make sense as a TLK wouldn’t work and therefore he’d be wasting his time so why bother? Hades must have genuine feelings for Zelena to think her TLK would work. Regina deciding that she knows what’s best for Zelena reeks of Regina being a control freak. Trying to sabotage Zelena’s relationship and “happy ending” is only going to make Zelena hate her more and only further push Zelena into Hades arms. Neither Zelena or Hades give a crap about what others think about them so I don’t see how Regina’s actions would benefit in any way. If anything it would give Zelena MORE reason to cause “chaos” with Hades, not less.
But what if Hades isn’t exactly what Zelena needs in her life, he’s the devil for God’s sake, just as Rumple told Cora he could really only give her darkness….I can only imagine what fresh hell Hades has to offer Zelena which could potentially regress her back to the Season 3 Wicked Witch we met or even worse.
Regina looking after her big sister Zelena reminds me of an old Roseanne episode where Roseanne had to intervene with Jackie’s unhealthy relationship…when one sister sees the other entering into something that would be ultimately unhealthy and potentially dangerous, you’ve got to try to stop them. I don’t think Regina’s necessarily being a control freak, but more of a concerned sister whose trying to keep her big sister from literally dancing with the devil.
From Bex’s TvLine 4/22 Interview:
TVLINE | Hades (played by Greg Germann) this week lays out his plan to escape the Underworld. What does Zelena think about it?
I think she’s hashtag #torn, because part of her wants to try to trust him. He’s told her that she’s his true love and that True Love’s Kiss will restart his heart, and then they can go and leave everybody behind. But a part of her is like, “I don’t know if I want to leave Regina behind actually.” It’s a bit weird for her because she’s starting to have sisterly feelings for Regina, so it’s like, “Well hang on, if I get my own happy ending, it will be at the expense of my new family. It’s a horrible position to be in.
