"Chosen" is the seventeenth episode of the seventh season and the 150th episode overall of the American fantasy-drama series Once Upon a Time. Written by Paul Karp & Brian Ridings, and directed by series regular Lana Parrilla, it premiered on ABC in the United States on April 13, 2018.
In the episode, Zelena is drawn into a trap by Nick as he uses a non-believable Henry as part of his plan to kill her, which also draws Samdi's attention as he continues to bait Sabine, while in the past Hansel and Gretel's encounter with Zelena is revealed.
A Gingerbread house is featured in the background.
In the Land of Oz before the original curse, Zelena comes across a gingerbread house and finds Hansel and Gretel, but the occupant and her archenemy the Gingerbread witch is ready to stop her as payback for trying to banish her from Oz because Zelena saw her as a threat. The Gingerbread 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 cabin by a blind woodcutter named Ivo, who wants to help her regain her health. When he told her about Hansel and Gretel, Zelena realized that Ivo was their father. Sensing that she has found a kind personality in Ivo, Zelena repays Ivo by saving his children and hopefully restore Ivo's eyesight.
When Zelena returns to save Hansel and Gretel, she succeed in defeating the Gingerbread Witch by taking her eyeballs but Hansel and Gretel had already escaped. Unfortunately when she returned Ivo was ready and waiting, as Hensel and Gretel told their father about Zelena. Ivo asked her to leave but she suddenly went furious by throwing the eyeballs into the fireplace, prompting the children to defend themselves against Zelena, who responded by using flames from the fireplace to give Hansel the scars on his arms. As Zelena disappears, Hansel's hatred towards witches begins.
In Seattle, Zelena is trying to grapple with dealing with a situation about the Candy Killer, as well as how to deal with how to explain the truth to her fiancé Chad. This made Zelena more concerned as she confronted Weaver at the police station asking for help rather than asking Rogers. While Weaver couldn't do anything at this point, he did give Zelena her green necklace back as a reminder to how to defeat Hansel.
