* TakeAThirdOption: Henry, dealing with his guilt for not being able to save Emma or Hook and that he's always on the sidelines being rescued or doing nothing, thinks he either needs to do as Cruella asks with the quill or continue being useless. But it turns out the thing he thinks doesn't matter (the stories) provides him another, genuinely heroic way out--using those stories to rewrite the missing pages and tell them how to defeat Hades.
Added DiffLines:
* TwoLinesNoWaiting: Henry's subplot with Cruella, the Apprentice, and the Author's quill turns out to intersect with the main plot twice. First, when the others learn from Liam that there is an Underworld Edition of the storybook, which might tell them Hades' weakness, Henry is able to both tell them where it likely is (the Underworld Sorcerer's Mansion) and how to get in--with the key which David's EvilTwin has at the sheriff's office. Then at the end of the episode, after the pages were destroyed and there seems no way to win, Henry realizes the heroic thing to do is use the quill, not to bring back Cruella to help Emma, but to write the stories as he's supposed to...because that will let him recreate the pages and give them the information they need.

* MacGuffin: The Eye of the Storm; it is only seen once when Hades offers it to Liam, and again after he and Killian make it to shore, but it's never revealed if it can actually do what is claimed, nor is it ever seen again. Which makes what Liam sacrificed for it even more damning, really.

* {{Retcon}}: With the knowledge that Liam already knew the king had been sending men to find the Eye of the Storm, despite how deadly and fruitless such a quest had always been to so many sailors, his chronologically later (but previously aired) refusal to believe the king could have been sending them to find a deadly poison rather than a source of healing rings a bit hollow, if not seeming rather unbelievable. On the other hand, with Liam's own shady dealings to save his and his brother's lives and get into the navy, it may have been easier for him to rationalize the king's actions, especially if he could convince himself the search for the gem, while dangerous, was not as obviously wrong or immoral as one for a deadly poison to use against his enemies. (The implication, after all, is that the sapphire can control the weather, which while this could also be used very badly against one's enemies, it at least has the possibility of being used only for good, to protect the kingdom and its ships from bad weather; a poison has no such saving grace. Also, it's shown that at least one member of the royal navy did find it a foolish quest, while the captain of their ship ''wasn't'' a member of the navy, so he might have pretended that it wasn't actually an official order from the king.)
