Regina had a tendency of holding the hearts of her loyal guards (recall that in SotD, when she crushed the heart, one of her guards died). She tended to take the controlling approach, since that gave her a guarentee that the guards were completely (and robotically) loyal to her. Her goal was to rule the kingdom and discredit Snow, and once Snow escaped to the dwarves,to kill her.

If the EQ as she is now is anything like the former EQ, then Snow had better be on her toes, as should Emma. Of course, they beat her before, so they can do it again. They never beat her. They turned her into a better person. And the implications are that this EQ cannot be a better person - she's just darkness. So they're gonna have a problem there.

Back to the topic though, I agree that the chances of the Dragon dying anytime soon are slim. There's a lot of explaining to do about him first - they've put it off for three seasons already, let's not wait until Season 8 to get back to him. Plus, I'm expecting him to be Lily's dad, so he has to meet her.
