To be honest, when Snow tricked Regina into killing her own mother, I was like, oh gosh, this was The Moment Mary Margaret has been waiting to have for two seasons.

On a side note: I hate Snow White in any other medium. Seriously, I just loathe the character. Her portrayal on OUAT is the one and only I can bear and I sort of started liking her when I saw her badass side on Snow Falls and Heart Of Darkness. From my point of view, this is the best twist she could ever get. Besides, her original self from the Grimm's fairytale had a cruel side too, she forced the Evil Queen to dance to death in burning iron shoes, so it's somewhat consistent that Mary Margaret did this.

About Cora's death, I was craving for it. Seeing her motives in the flashback didn't change my opinion about her (she was a power-obsessed *itch and the mockery she got in her youth didn't make up for what she's done ever since). Actually, as a fervent Rumbeller the Corastiltskin part made yearn for it even more. Nevertheless, the authors made me shed a tear with the look she gave to Regina before dying. Like she did really see her daughter for the very first time. That was very touching, but I'll compromise by saying I cried for Regina.

Also, I don't think that simply putting her heart back in her chest would have her automatically redeemed. She was evil and power-obsessed to begin with.
