As the writers have never made a mistake that large (having a character not even be alive when said events happened), I'm inclined to believe that something that Alice said maybe wasn't the whole truth. Since we think 718 might be an Alice-centric, maybe this gets explained in that episode, because I don't think we have room for it in this episode. The writers haven't been able to keep their timeline straight this season in regards to numerous things, so I can totally buy that the writers made an error here. We have quite a few canon conflicts that simply can't be reconciled. Considering Ella doesn't have another centric, they likely won't mention her mother again. I can't imagine 7x18 will be anyone but Rumple's.
