She was "undead" when Hook encountered her in Season 2. However, who knows what happened once Regina undid the original curse and Snow cast hers! She coiuld be back to normal, she could be undead, she could still be in the EF, She could be residing in StoryBrooke. She could be running the Fire Grilled Pizza Palace for all we know.

But I'm with everyone else. Even if they DO make her the mistress of all evil (which I really don't see happening, given her portrayal with both Regina and David), I don't think she should be killed off at the end. Heck, maybe have the gang defeat her, she goes cowering over to a corner for a 'spell' (pun intended), then comes out swinging stronger.

It would be real nice if Rumple goes to stab her with the dagger, only to find out that She is the one thing the dagger does NOT affect. (David's sword, on the other hand...)
