** Henry's writing trance is reminiscent of Coulson's compulsive alien writing in season 2 of ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''. The previous episode's title is also similar to Coulson's ArcWords[=/=]MadnessMantra "it's a magical place."

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Emma and to some degree Snow White. Emma not only pulls a [[PsychicStrangle Vader Force-choke]] on Gideon, tosses him around magically, and punches him so that he ends up with a bloody nose, she specifically tells Gold (when he insists she ask nicely if she expects him to answer her questions) that "I'm done being nice." Snow agrees (while calling it "mother-daughter bonding time"). Later, after Gideon's further actions convince them he is beyond saving, Emma reiterates that if Gideon tries to kill her a third time, she won't hold back; when Gold threatens her, Snow steps in and with a very cold glare says they didn't start this...then stalks out.

Not only is this foreshadowed by the episode title, it explains contradictions in his earlier behavior as Morpheus, and trying to kill Emma with the sword vs. trying to get her to help him open the portal--because everything he did was actually the Black Fairy all along.

* DramaticIrony: Because the audience knows that the spell Gideon cast last episode using Emma's tear will keep Hook from traveling through any portal back to Storybrooke, his attempts to find a way home will be utterly fruitless. The audience gets a HopeSpot when it seems Gideon will lift the spell in return for Emma helping him kill the Black Fairy, but when this is thwarted and there is no longer any means to break it, the audience again knows Hook's quest is doomed; all that is left is to find out what happens when he attempts to use the magic bean. Rather than simply being blocked or it not working, the result is apparently him being shunted to a different world, since the portal ends up leading to Neverland instead.
