* NiceJobBreakingItHero: A rare example where a villain does this, yet it still counts as this trope instead of [[NiceJobFixingItVillain the usual]]. Had Ingrid not risked Emma's life to try and awaken her magic, the latter probably wouldn't have run away from her. This possibly could have extended to the Storybrooke situation in Season 1.

* AlasPoorVillain: Ingrid. Once she finally realizes that not only can she never tear Anna and Elsa apart, but that Anna still loves her despite all she'd done to her, ''and'' Gerda still loved her too and was sorry for imprisoning her, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone she immediately repents]]...but the only way to end the spell is [[SomeoneHasToDie for her to die]]. Cue the water works as she gives her blessing to Anna, Elsa, and Emma, thanks them for giving her back her sisters' love, and tells them to take care of their families and loved ones as the precious things they are, all [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome while exploding in a breathtaking shower of light]].
