(Granted, "everyone" is basically only Henry, Cindy, and Hook now lol but still) Looks like Gothel will try to be Anastasia's new "mother" then. That could start pitting them against Drizella. Then Drizella begins her redemption arc and Gothel usurps the title as main villain of the season. The only issue is, Drizella doesn't have anyone to lead her redemption arc. Every other villain-turned-hero has had a person -- Regina had Henry, Hook had Emma/Neal, and Rumple had Belle/Neal. Drizella doesn't have a relationship with anyone.

That's kind of why I thought Tremaine would stick around. She has Lucy and Anastasia who could theoretically lead her to the light side.

It's always possible Drizella will develop a closer relationship with Anastasia, Lucy, Cindy, Henry, Regina, or Jack that could lead her to heroism. But right now, who that could be isn't very obvious.

It's also plausible, I suppose, that there won't be any villain redemption arcs. But that seems very unlike Once Upon a Time.
