While the best guess is that Cruella is in LWM England (probably some manor outside of London), that would make getting her car to Storybrooke a bit difficult (and we have BTS shots of the car in SB).

If they twist it so that Cruella spent time in Minnesota back in the mid-late 90's, that might work. And it would explain why Lily hated her family (I'm sure that Cruella can be a real witch to live with). And we never did see the mother, only the father. I like the theory of Lily being the adoptive daughter of Cruella and that man, but at the same time is also the real daughter of the Sorcerer.

And I guess Rumple finds some loophole for him, Ursula and Cruella to drive into Storybrooke with Cruella's car being enchanted or something.
