* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: This is sadly the last appearance of Abigail in the flashbacks, so we never find out why King Midas hasn't appeared in Storybrooke yet, what happened once Frederick was freed or what their kingdom thought of the dark curse. We never see Frederick in Storybrooke again, although Abigail/Kathryn does pop up in the Season 3 finale. All that can really be assumed is that once the curse was broken, the two of them got back together again like all the other divided couples.

* {{Foil}}: Once again, the difference between David and Charming are made clear. Charming was brave and noble, willing to help the woman he didn't love out of selflessness. David meanwhile can't be honest with the same woman (cursed) when he says their marriage is over.

* InadvertentEntranceCue: Near the end of the episode, when Charming and Red compare notes about what Snow had told him versus her intended reason for going to the castle, Red thinks something changed her mind. Grimly, Charming responds, "Not something...some''one''." And then who should come riding up with his men but King George...

** Abigail sadly tells Charming that one of the worst things you can ever experience is to be without love (whether that of family or romance). In Storybrooke, Kathryn finds out from David that he no longer loves her (and was in fact having an affair), and learns this from Regina, her supposed best friend who had no known for some time but kept the truth from her, leaving her alone and unloved. She also admits to realizing her life and love with David were "just an illusion" (referencing what the Siren tempted Charming with)...to the very person whose curse had created it and forced it on her.

* CompleteTheQuoteTitle: In-story rather than to something from RealLife media--the title finishes a phrase from all the way back when King Midas gave a warning as he prepared to demonstrate his curse: "[[CrypticBackgroundReference Remember what happened to Frederick]]." It's here, of course, that that BelatedBackstory is finally revealed.

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: When David discovers that Kathryn found out about the affair, his first instinct is to wonder who told her. Mary Margaret rightly points out that ''he'' should have told her in the first place.
* EnthrallingSiren: One appears guarding Lake Nostos. Rather than singing, she takes the form of Snow White to seduce David.

* RuleOfSymbolism: The presence of a Siren in this episode relates to the overall theme. 'Siren song' is an expression used to describe something that seems like an attractive idea but will ultimately lead to disaster. In this case, the siren song is David lying to Kathryn once again to spare her feelings. She eventually finds out about the affair and it makes things worse for everyone.
