** Although this ''was'' spelled out at literally the last minute of Season 2 ("They're merely pawns being manipulated by forces greater than they can conceive. They have no idea who they're truly working for.")

Emma gave birth to Henry at 8:15.8:15.
** Once Mulan, Aurora, and Philip know and believe Neal's identity, and Aurora figures out he is Henry's father, she not only references her having met with him in the room of fire last season, but offers to enter the netherworld again to try and find him, as well as make contact with Emma. It doesn't work since they're neither asleep nor in the Enchanted Forest, but it's still a heartwarming moment.



* GeniusLoci: The weather around Neverland reacts to emotional turmoil and violence. When Snow White, Charming, Regina and Hook all start squabbling, a storm brews up in response which nearly kills them all.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: After discovering the truth about the "Home Office" and Pan, [[PetTheDog Tamara tells Henry to run and attempts to stop the Lost Boys from capturing or hurting him]]. She is repaid for this by having her heart crushed by Rumple--because this isn't enough to make up for her (he thinks) having killed Neal.

Added DiffLines:

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: When Neal wakes up he finds Philip, Aurora, and Mulan have treated and bandaged his wound, but seeing as they think it was caused by an arrow, it's clear nothing was done about the bullet. And yet Neal survives; presumably the bullet somehow missed any major organs or arteries, but how he recovers is never fully explained.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Considering we were told back in season two that there was no way to save the victim of a Wraith once it had marked you and taken your soul, the quest to save Philip from it and return him to life would have to be quite amazing and heroic. Yet...we never see it, or are told what happened or how. Instead when Neal awakens in the Enchanted Forest, Mulan and Aurora are there with a perfectly fine Philip and nothing of their quest to bring him back is ever explained. And apparently, never will be.
