I agree. How do you deal with someone who is so volatile that any option, really, will result in a war?
In answer to this question, I don’t think there’s a great chance for Regina’s recovery unless magic is forcibly removed from her. I have a little bit more hope for Rumple if he can ever get the real Belle back. Otherwise, he’s on a dark path at the moment.
Maybe if the Charmings, Rumple, Regina, Bae, and Henry all went to another world, they would find a “neutral” zone. If say, magic works differently in Neverland, so that both Regina and Rumple are powerless, they might stand a chance to tolerate each other and sort of start over. (Doubtful, but still a maybe in my book). Plus, I think this is precisely the scenario we'll see in S3.
