My theory on the conclusion comes from how Cassandra’s character development from the beginning till now. She started off as Rapunzel’s Lady-In-Waiting and confidant so her job was to prepare Rapunzel for her duty that is to come. As Rapunzel was becoming more confident in season 2 she was starting to make her own decisions and not Cassandra’s which is what began to strain their friendship. In season 3 when Cassandra went rogue, Rapunzel started doing everything herself now. She ran the whole kingdom while her parents were not able to due to mind wipe and help out without the need of Cassandra. That goes to show you that Rapunzel is all grown up, Cassandra’s purpose has been fulfilled. I believe that Rapunzel will let her go so she can find a new purpose in life.
