As shocking as it sounds, Once Upon a Time fans may find themselves having “Sympathy for the De Vil.”
Sunday’s aptly titled episode finally delves into Cruella de Vil’s (Victoria Smurfit) troubled past, in which her oppressive mother used her Dalmatians to terrorize her. But a stranger empowers Cruella to take charge of her life once and for all. Could this stranger be the Author (Patrick Fischler), who appears in Cruella’s flashbacks? EW caught up with Smurfit to get the scoop on Sunday’s episode, including why Cruella takes Henry (Jared Gilmore) hostage.

[adrotate group="5"]From the EW article:
Then [we] take her all the way up to present day, and find out what her secret agenda has been this entire time—that she has separately of the Queens of Darkness.
The sneak peek already gave a partial answer of what Cruella wants: to kill the Author (who presumably wronged her somehow). If that’s that case, however, why didn’t she just team up with the Charmings, who also were tempted to kill him to cover up their past wrongs? Why did Cruella team up with Rumple and the QoD who want the Author alive to write them a new set of happy endings?
What’s her happy ending? Is it to find the Author so she can be with him?
That’s far too simple. It’s going to be much more complicated than that, my darling. It really genuinely is complicated and twisty. It’s going to be a bit of an emotional roller coaster.So what’s the twist? Cruella said she wants the Author’s dead body. Why? Does she just want evidence of his death? Or is there something else she wants?
Cruella and the Author appear to have a history. What kind of relationship did they have?
It’s sweet, it’s intense, it’s complicated. It was fantastic to play with Patrick; he’s an astonishing actor. We got to do every twist and turn you could imagine together. I totally ‘ship them! He is the key for her, from the beginning, and for her future. He’s been the key.How can the Author be the key to Cruella’s future if he winds up dead? Does Cruella want to make Henry into the next Author? Is that why she needs the Author’s body? Is that why she kidnaps Henry? Maybe the Author must die before the next Author can take his place. Does Curella intend to enact some sort of ritual or right of passage so that Henry fulfills his destiny as the next Author?
What’s her goal in taking Henry?
I can’t really tell you. Her happy ending, her goal—up until now, we’ve known very little about how or what she’s been after and who she trusts and who she doesn’t trust. As a villain, you generally don’t trust many. It’s all going to play out Sunday. She’s a glorious, dazzling sociopath, and it’ll all be explained.I think I figured it out. Cruella wants Henry to be the next Author so that Henry can write Cruella a happy ending — something Issac refused to do.
