* MythologyGag: Aside from the hedge maze, the tea party, the Jabberwock, and the need for size-changing to get into Wonderland, the cottage Ella and Henry run toward in their search for Alice very much resembles depictions of the White Rabbit's house--and when they're caught in the net, Henry even calls it a "White Rabbit trap". Meanwhile in Hyperion Heights, Nick and Jacinda go out to eat at a swanky restaurant called "Walrus and Company" where the signature dish is...oysters.

Chained Pothole. And unnecessary, given there's a link to that trope in the same paragraph already.


* CallBack: After Nick is revealed to be Lucy's father (at least in Hyperion Heights), Lucy explains to Henry that Nick's role with him and Jacinda is as "Kathryn Nolan" (i.e. the third side of a LoveTriangle engineered to keep two true loves apart), referencing Abigail/Kathryn and how Regina used her in Storybrooke to separate Snow White and Charming. When Henry suggests he might be "the Kathryn", Lucy says "nobody wants to be the Kathryn", referencing both [[RomanticRunnerUp "the other]] [[LoveTriangle woman"]] and Kathryn/Abigail's status as [[invoked]]TheScrappy to some of the viewership.

** Regina throws away the cake Eloise gave Hook, saying that too much sugar can kill. This might be a reference to the original story of ''Literature/PeterPan'', in which Captain Hook tried to kill the lost boys with a poisoned cake, only to be foiled when Wendy throws it away out of concern that it is "too damp and rich" for them.
