If once offered every part of their story in one episode we'd have less seasons. I have noticed since the show began that they like to reveal things in bits and pieces as relevant to the current episode taking place. For example, it took many episodes to find out how the Snow Queen A) Got to our world B) Got to Storybrooke C) Knew Elsa D) Knew Emma not to mention us learning that Anna knew Belle and Rumple and Blackbeard all at different times and that the Snow Queen had any deal with the Sorcerer/Apprentice.

Point being, I think they will still explain how Cruella got to the Enchanted Forest and how she married that man and everything that follows. For all we know, she could've even lied to Maleficent about leaving Lily on the road and maybe she did use her to get sympathy from other people. I also don't know what the extent was of Cruella's curse of not killing people; It's possible that she could not have left Lily when they came through because that would be an indirect murder. Also, Lily did say that she was adopted but that she didn't feel loved at all, that could be because Cruella was actually her adoptive mother hence Lily kept trying to run away from home.

Lastly, I don't think the Author's car can jump worlds because that would mean that it's magic isn't tied to any one realm or universe therefore in a land without magic, the car should hypothetically still be able to jump worlds. We know Cruella has had the car this entire time but when she said Rumple and he offered to take her to a place with magic in this world, she jumped at the opportunity. (Again making it less likely that her car had any magic itself.) I think the car matches that world because the Author gave himself that car to travel "normal" within that realm, hence he had no problem just giving it away to her. I think the pen and paper can transport worlds more so than the car.
