Why would Drizella do the curse and then be her mother’s assistant?
Because all her life Drizella has had to do what Tremaine told her to. But now in the position of Victoria’s assistant, Drizella is actually getting to make decisions and tell her mother what to do for a change. Even if her mother isn’t aware that that’s what’s happening, it’s something that Drizella would revel in being able to do.
Drizella is the one who went to pick up Lucy, it wasn’t Victoria. Drizella was the one making the arrangements to turn the dance recital into a crazy expensive charity event, it wasn’t Victoria. Clearly Drizella has been given a high amount of responsibility, Victoria listens to her advice and trusts her to make business decisions and put things in motion. These are things that Tremaine NEVER would have let Drizella do in their former lives. Drizella has positioned herself perfectly to be able to quietly orchestrate things without Victoria even realising. That would be SUCH a power trip for Drizella, knowing that she’s pulling her mother’s strings, after so many years of being ordered around by her.
Maybe she’s even planning on taking the company over some day. She’ll be able to play the card that it wouldn’t have been the success it was if not for her involvement. And being so involved in all the decisions that have been made with the business (and with Lucy) means that she’d have all sorts of potential blackmail information stored up with all the dodgy dealings that have gone on. She could very well destroy her mother at some point, take everything away from her, leave her destitute, unable to even get a job, so Drizella offers her the job of cleaning the Belfry offices, thus turning Victoria into a Cinderella trope. It would be such delicious revenge on the woman who had controlled her her whole life.
[adrotate group="5"]October 18, 2017 at 8:56 pm #343470PheeParticipantI wonder if Drizella loved the Prince and believes Cinderella killed him. Drizella doesn’t know that her mother actually killed the prince, and that’s what’s driving her revenge.
The Drizella we’ve seen so far doesn’t really strike me as the type who could fall in true love though? I’m thinking more along the lines of how she’s gonna have to stand by and watch Cinderella get a handsome Prince (which Henry technically is, even if officially he holds no status in this EF), have a kid, live a happy life, and it’s gonna drive her MAD.
The handsome Prince and the happy life is what Tremaine has convinced Drizella SHE can have, as long as she does this, and this, and this, and this. So all her life Drizella has followed orders and basically been beaten into submission and turned into a horrible person, because at the end of the day, it was all gonna pay off when she got her 100% guaranteed happily ever after. And instead here’s her rogue step-sister, who defied Tremaine at every step, did whatever she wanted to, and SHE’S the one who ends up with the happy ending instead. Drizella can’t stand that, so she uses the Curse to tear Cinderella’s family apart.
(She may even ultimately have her sights set on Henry in HH. If she ends up taking Cinderella’s man, and her child, then it all comes full circle in that tragic way where one becomes the person they hated, and she herself would end up being the evil step-mother.)

Phee…. This is so deliciously evil.
I love it.
