I thought it was really interesting what the ink seemed to do to Cruella. Before the spill, she appeared to be a sweet, innocent girl, but underneath she was a sociopath who enjoyed killing. It appears that the ink stripped her of her ability to mask her inner demon. I thought it was also pretty interesting that Cruella's happy ending was to be able to kill again. I think that overall, the Author's death was just a means to an end, a way to undo his writing away her ability to kill. I liked the fact that there was no chance of redemption because there wasn't really an redeemable quality to Cruella. As she said to Maleficent in the beginning of the episode, she's just a really terrible person.
