I can't say as I agree with the whole "Mal kept Lily in the egg" theory. The dragon eggshell had magic, and as we saw in season one, that magic could be used for anything that needs magic to work (like how they used magic from Regina's vault (and the ring from Daniel) to power Jefferson's hat. So Ursula and Cruella simply used the dragon egg do power some sort of youth potion/magic.

Now, as for Mal lying, I can totally see that happening. And the audience does not always have to see the exchange (as Esk put it).

I"m sure Mal has a good story (in fact, it is an untold story), and hopefully we'll get to see it before the series ends.

But that story does not likely include eithe Jafar or Hyde being the Father for Lily. (Hint, let's get this back on topic).
