I'm pretty confident since Emma said it was super sad, and that's usually a good sign for villain's backstories. Combinded with the info that she is a wood nymph, I think we are going to have Gothel befriend humans, only for them to chop down the trees (which are the lifeforces of nymphs) of her sister nymphs. “I’m Gothel, and I speak for the trees!” (A lovely reference.)

I hope we get more clues before it’s too late. I’d hate is her flashback and plan is really contained to this episode and maybe the previous.
