Cassandra, however? That may be a possibility. However, it would probably worsen things as he’d blame Rapunzel for her death. And then you have a lover scorned.

Another possibility is that MW (Mystery Woman) tries to enlist Varian as an evil sidekick. Giving Variana backseat gives him a chance to notice what’s going on around him. MW might kill Cassandra or someone he really cares about, which horrifies him, and MW orders him to kill Rapunzel, and he refuses to do it and rescues her, reedeming himself in the process.

(Ima Be Really disappointed if he doesn’t get redeemed in the show...)

Those are fantastic theories! I can imagine something like that happening with Rudiger or his father being threatened since he cares deeply for both of them but I think he made his feelings pretty clear when he tried to kill her in secret of the sundrop. So will I. So will I.
