Chp 9: Hallelujah

Flashback: Many years ago In Oz, Zelena comes across a gingerbread house and finds Hansel and Gretel, but the occupant and her archenemy the witch is ready to stop her as payback for trying to banish her from Oz because Zelena saw her as a threat. The Witch uses her power to defeat Zelena and weaken her adversary, leaving her to pass out in the forest. She is later awoken in a kingdom by a blind King named Matt, who wants to help her regain her health. When he told her about Prince Hansel and Princess Gretel, Zelena realized that Matt was their father. Sensing that she has found a kind personality in Matt, Zelena repays Matt by saving his children and hopefully restore Matt's eyesight. When Zelena returns to save Hansel and Gretel, she succeed in defeating the Witch by taking her sight but Hansel and Gretel had already escaped. Unfortunately, when she returned Matt was ready and waiting, as Hansel and Gretel told their father about Zelena. Matt asked her to leave but she suddenly went furious by throwing the ring containing the witch's sight into the fireplace. Gretel tries to fight against Zelena, who responded by using flames from the fireplace to burn Hansel alive. As Zelena disappears, Gretel's hatred towards witches begins. End of flashback

Present day Storybrooke, Moments after the Fates was united again, enlist Starla/Deathwhisper, who was working at Storybrooke Pet Shelter. The Fates wanted Starla to take down everyone, starting with Zelena, and handed Starla a set of lethal arrows, which were forged in the River of Lost Souls. When Rumple and Zelena attempt to look up a spell, they leave arguing over his use of Light Magic, when they are met by an arrow fired by Starla. Zelena catches the next one, as Rumple puffs away in gold cloud of smoke. Starla tells Zelena hello, as she aims another arrow, but just as she fires, Zelena uses magic to relocat herself to the docks. Then, Rumple was ready to use Light Magic to defeat Starla, but Zelena refuses, believing that her goal to help Zelena move on would be solve the conflict and weaken Hades. While looking through Starla's locker, Zelena figured out that she was Starla's unfinished business, when she finds a photo of King Matt. After she asked Rumple to leave, Zelena is surprised by Nyx, who showed up to offer her a deal: push Starla into the River of Lost Souls, she would give her a blessing to be able to go home. When Starla arrived to the Emporium, she aims at what she thought was Zelena but discovers a mannequin instead. She is then confronted by Hansel, who now knows she was willing to kill Zelena and believed it was still for vengeance, only to learn that the photo was punishment and a constant reminder of why she was a failure. She was also delighted to see her brother, Hansel, revealing that she was actually Gretel.
