Regina has a confidence problem, and always has. and that problem is what causes her to look for blame in the wrong places. blaming Snow instead of Cora. and now blaming Zelena instead of Hades. In both cases, the person that she blames is a person that was manipulated. Cora manipulated Snow to reveal the Secret. Hades manipulated Zelena to provide TLK (which makes me want to question why TLK even worked, but that is a different topic).

Regarding Rumple, you hit the nail on the head. He has not changed. and I don't see him changing.

Killian is, by all current appearances, really on the redemption road. At least based on what we've seen this season, his offers for assistance are much more sincere and heartfelt. He seems to really care for not just Emma, but for Belle, for David, for Henry. Yes, he still has a bit of darkness (but don't we all?), but I would say that, at least for now, he is on the redeemed side, and probably the only former villain that could even come close to saying that.
