She wants to live in peace with her family, there is nothing stopping her. Seems like the villains from later seasons do evil things just because and they don't really have any other reason... P-L-O-W. I mean, plot. I think one good thing they could institute is telling the actor/actress the entire plot. Jaime Murray is great, but they give weak reasons below the surface.

A better motivation would be to kill the Savior in the Final Battle to have great certainty that her son will not die (or she won't be separated from her son). Making her a extremely paranoid mother would have been the best way to go given her backstory. When Fiona discovers that she can't defeat the Savior, then have her perform her backup plan (the Dark Curse) so that she can prevent the Final Battle from ever happening.

I think the writers have something along these lines anyway, but it's not executed well.

Hades was evil beause Disney! But beyond that, he always was very murder-happy according to his backstory (which was on a few pages that most fans would ot take the time and effort to look at).

But if you mean Hyde and Queenie, no answer really. Queenie was trying to fill a whole in her heart with random stuff. (Terrible way to present your major arc) Hyde did stuff...I guess he wanted revenge on Rumple, then didn't and brought random people because....he felt like it.
