'' That's not enough to clear her slate yet, but it's a start: it's character progression, not regression. ''

Regina is never going to "clean her slate". She's too human. I can probably say the same about the other characters. Not one of them can take back what they have done in the past. Not Regina, Snow, Emma, David, Robin, Killian and many others. Whatever deeds or blood are on their hands, will remain there until they die. ''And not one of them will ever become some ideal goody-goody, who will always say or do the right thing. No one is really capable of that, because to be such a person is unreal.''  All Regina has to do is live her life one day at a time, by remaining on this new path she has chosen for herself. Yes, she'll stumble every now and then. She might even commit an evil deed, for all we know. If she does, hopefully she'll face the truth of what she has done - in the past or perhaps in the future. And guess what? I'm also referring to the other characters as well.
