Lola is 100% right. Especially when the 8th member of the Coven was always meant to be the Guardian. 719 made it perfectly clear.

Gothel first tried to recruit Ana cos she was the Guardian. She recruited Tilly cos she is the Guardian.

They forced Regina into giving them the 8th ingredient. Nothing else.
