History Recap / OnceUponATimeS3E5GoodForm

* PragmaticHero: Emma, realizing they need to get a message to Henry and that her and Snow's attempts to appeal to the captured Lost Boy's better nature are not working, [[IDidWhatIHadToDo allows Regina to take his heart]], even to the point of holding her mother back from stopping Regina. Interestingly, after Snow warns of the price if [[MoralEventHorizon they succeed in saving Henry but fall into darkness doing it]], Regina immediately points out [[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork that's why she's there to take the risks, not them]]...and after the plan works and they give Henry hope through the mirror message, Snow apologizes and admits there are times when different methods might be called for.

* VillainHasAPoint: Pan did warn the Jones brothers about the dreamshades and what it really does and what the real intentions of the King they served really were all along.

** A literal one in the form of Pegasus, the winged horse from Greek mythology, whose feathers are used to make a sail that enables the Jones brothers' ship to fly. (And this in turn is also a reference to [[Disney/PeterPan the Disney animated movie]], wherein pixie dust enables Hook's ship to fly the Darlings home from Neverland.)

* MythologyGag: Killian's constant references to bad form are straight out of the original Peter Pan book.

* MotivationalLie: It turns out the trip up Dead Man's Peak to reclaim the sextant was this; not only is the sextant not there (presumably it's still back hidden on the Jolly Roger somewhere, and can't decode the map), but Hook deliberately dropped his brother's military insignia as the excuse to tell the story and get David to insist they go after it--because he knew he'd never do anything to distract from Henry's rescue even if it would save himself, and so he made up the story about the sextant being able to help them escape, all so he could get David to the magic spring that could cure him.

* OutOfCharacterMoment: Pan had a good day when the Jones brothers arrived on his shores. He told them about dreamshade's true qualities and gave them honest directions to the plant. Liam, Killian's elder brother and captain, refused to listen to the warning. When Liam started succumbing to the poison, Pan offered a cure and warned a heavy price would be paid - then conveniently disappeared and failed to explain what the price was, indicating that he may have just been screwing with them all along.

With the deadly Dreamshade coursing through David’s body and he close to death, Hook takes him on one last journey to find a sextant that could help them decipher a map that would lead them off Neverland. Meanwhile, in the Fairy Tale Land that was, Killian Jones – aka Hook – and his brother, Captain Liam, sail off under orders of the King to find a powerful indigenous plant in an uncharted land that could help heal any injury.

!Tropes

* NeverMyFault: When Henry starts apologizing to the Lost Boy who's face he cut, Pan interjects and tells him that Lost Boys never have to apologize and thus never have to take responsibility for their actions.

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: Regina takes the heart of a lost boy to give the heroes a mole in Pan's camp. Snow White is aghast at this, but Emma allows it, seeing it as necessary to give Henry a message of hope.

* NeverMyFault: When Henry starts apologizing to the lost boy who's face he cut, Pan interjects and tells him that lost boys never have to apologize and thus never have to take responsibility for their actions.

* PaperCutting: Henry does this to a lost boy in a sword fight.

* StartOfDarkness:
** This time for Captain Jones/Hook. We discover that he and his brother who was the original captain sailed to Neverland on orders from their King to find a magical cure-all plant that turns out to be a very deadly UniversalPoison. His brother tries the poison to prove that the King wasn't lying about its purpose and dies. This sends Jones into a HeroicBSOD and a FaceHeelTurn (yet he sees it as a HeelFaceTurn) where he chooses to become a lawless pirate along with his crew.

* ShoutOut: A possible one to ''Film/ThePrincessBride''. After Emma kisses Hook (a pirate) she turns away in embarrassment and tells him to "go fetch some firewood or something"; his response is "As you wish" aka "I love you".

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Pan inflicts it on Hook to interrupt his HeelFaceTurn. Will he risk his own romance with Emma, which for the first time seems like a definite possibility, or hide the fact that Neal is alive from her?

* DealWithTheDevil: Pan offers Hook a chance to run away home happily with Emma, all he has to do is kill Charming. Hook, trying to become TheAtoner, doesn't take it.
