Walsh led Marion into Zelena's palace. Marion was blindfolded and her hands were tied behind her back, so she had no idea what was going on and no way to defend herself should she need to. Marion stumbled up a flight of eight concrete stairs and was then forced to her knees.
With a wave of her hand Zelena magicked the blindfold off of Marion.
"Who are you, and why am I here?" Marion demanded shakily.
"Now dear who I am does not concern you, but as to why you are here... Are you familiar with the Evil Queen?" Marion could only nod, not trusting herself to speak in front of this imposing figure. "Well, I happen to harbor a grudge against Regina and from what I hear you do too."
"How do you know that?" asked Marion terrified of what else this strange woman might know.
"I have eyes and ears all over the place.. But that is neither here nor there, what is important to me is will you or will you not help me get my revenge on Regina?"
"Yes!" Regina cried, "of course I'll marry you!"
It had been the perfect proposal, the one Regina had always wanted, but never thought she'd have. Robin had taken her to a secluded spot in the woods where he had set up a picnic dinner a couple of hours earlier. While Regina explored the lush meadow that Robin had brought her to Robin went to the picnic basket, poured two glasses of champagne and slipped the ring into one of them. Back from exploring Regina sat down on the picnic blanket and Robin handed her a glass. When Regina saw the ring floating at the bottom of the glass, she dropped it and champagne spilled all over her lap. Regina quickly stood up and launched herself into his arms.
It was dark and cold, very cold. Marion wrapped her arms tightly around herself hoping to warm herself. With a clang the prison doors opened, letting in a shaft of dim light. Zelena strolled in looking like she owned the place, which she kind of did. "Hello, Marion, dear, have you changed your mind about helping me destroy my sister?" In response to Zelena's question Marion tucked herself farther into the shadows and didn't say anything. "No? Well, perhaps knowing that your dear, precious Robin is marrying Regina, when you should have been his wife, will change your mind."
Marion's heart broke just a little more with Zelena's words. She was right, Marion should be marrying Robin, not Regina! "Fine, I'll help you! What did you have in mind?"
"We, my dear have a wedding to crash."
