* YouOweMe: Although [[DirtyBusiness he hates having to do it]] (among other reasons, because [[LamarckWasRight it reminds him of his father]]), when Robin Hood brings up how he almost lost Marian to sickness and eventually did lose her later, so he does not want to risk losing his son Roland to Pan's Shadow, Neal is forced to bring up the fact it's because of his father the Dark One that Marian survived and Robin even has a son at all. So helping Neal now is returning the favor.

* DistinguishingMark: Tinkerbell identifies Regina's second True Love for her by means of a lion tattoo on his arm--Robin Hood.
