You should be used to the fact that Once likes to see some good in the villains' hearts, I mean, even the Evil Queen (season 6) and Zelena got redeemed, which I didn't think possible, at that point I knew pretty much everyone had the potential for redemption, so I'm hardly surprised, but I still think that Gothel may be, and hoping she is, the villain to the point of no redemption. I mean, there are a couple of exceptions in the show.

Still, I think people were happy to see this because we like Drizella, and we didn't want to see her have a villain's death, because that's what happens when you aren't redeemed.
