But correct to say season 6, but she does have to split time with Hyde depending on how long he stays, and of course series villain, Rumple. Rumple wasn't the only series villain of the show. There is always more then one. Remember, both he and Regina were the start of villains in the series since the very first episode. Regina started appearing as the Evil Queen from the beginning of the show, and she just returned as the queen (not literally though).
