It seems Cruella has fallen to her doom, becoming the first QOTD to follow standard fate of villains. After the last episode, it seems as Maleficent put it, Cruella and Ursula really were means to an end. Ursula was the temporary caretaker of Mr. Gold and the one that starts helping him put their team together. And along Cruella, they brought Maleficent back, the Cruella's death served as savior first step toward darkness. It seems the whole Queens of Darkness title was just for a show(which help promote the most infamous disney villains). Their association had better role in flashbacks. Anyway, Lily is coming, so maybe we'll see a little mother-daughter between her and Maleficent. But it's harder to speculate Maleficent's fate than before. Killing her may be redundant and depressing considering she technically died once, and if she dies so soon before she can have enough time to bond with her daughter, it'll just be heartbreaking. Maybe like Ursula and her father, they can just leave Storybrooke happily.
