Regina just happened to give her blood at the same place the witches were located, but she didn't do anything with them directly (if she magically sent her blood to Gothel, from another location, the argument for Regina being a member probably wouldn't occur). This!! Agree. Plus, Henry had been already poisoned and he was about to die. The only way to keep him alive was to take him in a land without magic. You'd do anything to save your son's life, this is not a choice for a mother. Hook was threatened by a knife. Alice had to choose between her mother and father, but choosing to save hook's life she doesn't allow her mother to kill her father, which is wise, and I think this means she is able to choose both mother and father. She now is a part of the coven, and she'll manage to contain it's darkness.
