See, before that episode Gothel made sense "Gather Coven. Cast Spell. Something Guardian." After that episode Gothel made sense "Gather Coven. Cast Spell. Something Guardian." So, I would say that it was a fail in oversight because nothing hinted at Gothel wanting the Dark One dagger because she was in the same room as it, had Ivy waiting in the wings when the other two were knocked out, but noone got the dagger. She even had a little bit of magic and she never made a move.

Now, they never explained why she wanted the Guardian, but most gather that she wanted the power addition to her coven. They seem to be the only few that actually have magic in the LWM which is where she wanted to cast her spell.

Don't see why they would have Ivy say that Gothel wants Ana to get her hands on the DO Dagger and somehow this will all kill her (when Alice didn't die.)
