Here's what I think:

• Zelena needs a heart so she is going to take Neal's. She already has Rumpel's "brain" and David's "courage". I also think she is going to take Snow and David's "home" so she has everything Dorothy and co. were searching for in Oz.

• I think when Rumpel "died" he went back to the Enchanted Forest and Zelena found him and his dagger. I think that's how she has ended up with the dagger and control over him.

• I think Belle and Neal are going to try to find Rumpel since Emma and the others know he was in the storm cellar. That's when I think Zelena will get Neal's heart.

• I also think Hook knows WAY more than he is telling Emma about not only his time during the missing year but what happened to everyone else.

• I think Zelena is Cora's sister. She talked about shaving her father who was always drunk or worse. Cora's father was always drunk. I just think they have different mothers or Cora cursed Zelena.

Didn't Zelena already identify her relationship to Cora in a previous episode? It wasn't sisters.

I know she mentioned Cora but I can't remember what she said because my brain only holds on to info for about 3 seconds. LOL! I know they're bringing rose McGowan back as young Cora so we'll hopefully find out when that episode airs.

It seems like they are going to cover a lot of stuff in the remaining episodes. I wonder if Zelena will be back next season.

If what she says is true, Zelena is Regina's sister. She's Cora daughter, but we don't know who her dad is yet.

I think her dad could be Rumple, but it seems like an obvious choice, so hopefully that won't be it, and I'll be surprised!

I'm almost sure Dorothy is/will be Emma. It would makes sense. She is sort of already the heroine without a real home. To me anyway.
