In ensuing Oz books, her power is described as having been so great that even Glinda the Good Witch of the South feared her.

Hillary Busis of "Entertainment Weekly" gave it a good review: "Tonight's episode of "Once" was a lengthy meditation on fear that culminated in wicked Zelena getting her once-green mitts on a very special magical item: Prince Charming's courage, or at least "a symbol of it," according to Regina. So far, there don't seem to be any immediate consequences to what just happened; it's not as though David immediately turned into a sniveling coward once his courage was gone.

Furthermore, when Toto had bitten her, she had not bled; her wickedness had dried her up long ago. Unfortunately, L.
