* CowardlyLion: In the Underworld, Hercules lacks his courage in life and needs to be convinced to help the heroes fight off Hades. This is because Hercules never proved himself in life, having been killed by Cerberus.

* JerkassHasAPoint: She may be evil, but Cruella's point that returning her to life will remove the stigma Emma carries about having killed her makes sense. Henry clearly sees this and apparently sides with her. And since unless what the previous Author did is voided by him having written his own happy ending, Cruella still can't kill anyone, returning her to life wouldn't be as bad a prospect as it might seem.

Added DiffLines:

* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Cruella makes one to Henry, and despite the fact she can't kill him, he clearly accepts (probably to help Emma). This may turn out to be a very nice SpannerInTheWorks, since probably only something with the power of the quill (imbued by Merlin, who got his power from the Holy Grail) could overcome Hades.
