    I’ve been having an interesting conversation with a few people about what happens if Zelena succeeds in her plans to change the past. However, there is one point that keeps coming up over and over: how much of what Zelena knows is actually what happened in the past?

    In 316, Zelena “saw” that Cora left the baby in the woods and was told she was left because Cora wanted to be royal. However, what if this image was displayed by Walsh on his magic floor in order to elicit a specific emotion from Zelena: anger and envy. Walsh wanted something from Rumple and apparently had been waiting for Zelena a long time, knowing that she could go and collect it.

    So what if what Walsh showed Zelena was really a magic trick, a slight of hand. He showed Zelena what he NEEDED to show her, a subjective interpretation of events, instead of what ACTUALLY happened.

    Which brings me to the question: did Cora really leave Zelena in the woods?

    I think Cora never abandoned Zelena. If she lost her first born, that would explain her iron grip on her second born! And could spark that darkness if she not only lost her True Love, but also her child…

    I think Cora did abandon Zelena. But I think Sunday will introduce us to a younger, more innocent version to Cora. I think she will believe in love, get bitterly hurt, and we will learn how she became so jaded and began to believe that love is weakness.
    I think Cora will feel that she is unable to provide for her baby, and someone will offer her a magical portal which could send her baby to a magical land, and give Cora a second chance to pursue her quest for royalty.
