Nope, she wanted the wand because the door of the shop was locked for the last couple of days and she knew he was in there, so he must be up to no good. “he’s closed the shop he has been in there for days, I know he is up to something” that is why she decided to work with Zelena and steal the wand.
She knew he was hanging out with the EQ and guess what, he WAS up to no good. He was helping her.
He has never said that. Evil Queen said that, told Zelena that, who told Belle that. Could that have been his plan, maybe but we are not sure. Question here would be if it wasn’t his plan why didn’t he tell her so, but then again we got that answer last episode with the acceleration of the pregnancy, he does not think she would believe him.
Now this is getting ridiculous. Maybe he never directly said it. But he did heavily imply it and literally everyone else around her told her that’s what he was going to do. The show wanted us to know that was his plan.
