She still does bad stuff, showing she has not changed Okay, I don't even know what to say to this. Regina has done many things to help the heroes and/or defeat the villains, starting as early as Season 2, when Regina was literally willing to die to save everyone. If you can't see this, you are not paying attention to the show. In season 2 she had the foundation of a redemption arc. But here is a quick run down of my issues with her "heroic" deeds:

-Stopping the trigger in season 2 was her fixing her own mistake. She only went good because her plan to kill everyone and abduct Henry failed and she was put in danger.

-Stopping the curse at the end of 3A was when she had no other choice. Yes her giving Henry and Emma good memories showed some growth, but she referred to not torturing two innocent people as a "gift"

-Fighting against Zelena was fighting against someone who had targetted her.

-She saved Henry in the AU when her personality was rewritten to that of a hero.

I think the only thing she can actually get points for is protecting Snow from ghost!Cora in 3x18.

Regina admitted that she is only doing good to get the benefits. Is it really redemption if you are only doing it to get rewards?
