Not really he was planning to trap her in time itself so that she will not be able to do anything, but the spell didn't work because Winter has already done that he is the one responsible for the time to restart again and again stopping her from destroying the world. Hoping that someone Penelope could kill her this time, he is already in the spell for countless number of years losing his soul piece by piece.

Did he seriously give the freaking shard back!!? And for literally nothing??? “Let him go” that’s it?! That’s the same thing as Batman telling the joker to let Rachel go as he was dangling her out the window! Gah, I’m so done with him. I hope he does die
