There is a lot to explain about this curse

From what we know, the curse caster has control over the new identitis of  those who are cursed.

So, why would Drizella give her mother such a powerful position in HH? And even more, why would she be her assistant? Didn't she want to get rid of her?

Also, as I said in another thread, she doesn't have the scroll. In 1x02 it was made clear the scroll was needed to cast the Dark Curse (I mean, you don't fight the Mistress of all Evil for something you don't really need....)

Also, why in the world would she need to cast it in first place. At least The Evil Queen wanted revenge against everyone who helped Snow And Charming to take over the Kingdom, but Drizella only wants her mother not to be happy. Just take a magic bean and send her to this world and that's it. You don't need to bring everyone here for that. Especially if it seems L Tremaine has control over (almost) everyone in HH

Also, the most important thing (IMO), it seems it took her like 10 years to cast it? Because in the flashbacks it seems like the curse is inminent. Yet Lucy is not even close to being conceived

Finally, at this point they already know what she is trying to do. Heck. At this point WHook knows a way to prevent the curse from happening. In 7x07 he learned HOW TO STOP THE CURSE CASTER. And yet everyone is like there... just waiting for it to happen
