Gothel/Eloise is great, but I feel like her motivations are still kind of muddy because the writers were waiting to explain things in this episode. Like in FB's she just keep collecting magical objects (resurrection amulet, Maui's fishhook, etc.). They have to do something with Gothel in the past to make it doesn't appear that she's been wasting her immortal life.

I don't think she's collecting powerful objects, just keeping one away from Hook and likely using them to free other witches.
