She may not, but we don't know, and we will never be sure. With her heart, she prefered keeping those she liked close from her and safe to murdering four people and getting Unlimited Power. It is Rumple who had to remind her about spining straw into gold when they spoke in the tower. She was clearly the one who could lose sight of her own plans for personal feelings, and while that terrified her once and earlier made her want to murder one man, that doesn't mean she would never make the right decision later on. <br /><br />Maybe she would have prefered keeping Regina and then would have achieved the result by really protecting Henry and doing what would be best for him. Maybe her feelings for Rumple would have stoped her. Maybe she would have prefered being a nice grandmother living safe in a mansion where she wouldn't need to work like a slave to keep what she posesses, along with her beloved daughter. What Snow did wasn't so much wrong for trying to save herself as for the means. <br /><br />She had plenty of time to consider other options, but didn't even think of them. If we start judging a teenager who endured abuse at the hands of her mother for years and was then manipulated into marrying an adult and nourrishing hopes of being safe and happy again only to be mocked and broken, with no one coming to help (either because this was uncommon in this land but no one cared, or because it was so common that no one tried to care) we can judge someone who, with only the pain of a reawakened trauma which never impacted her enough to be mentionned in the first 36 episodes as her only excuse, chose to guilt-trip someone she knows is mentally unstable into doing something awful that could destroy her psyche. <br /><br />Snow is the queen of the land. She can ask her friends to do whatever she wants to help her. She has a healthy, affectuous family at her side to help her deal with everything and everyone always wonder how she feels. The point of this episode was also, probably, about how no one ever wonders how Rumple, Cora or Regina feel. Even with each other, they are never as compassionate as Snow's allies are with her. <br /><br />I don't personally think she is guilty, but you should do so to follow your own code. Because you hate other characters for their faults all the time, and that's part of what makes this abridged series so entertaining.
