* EvenEvilHasStandards: Rumple says that magic cannot bring back the dead. In ''Wonderland'', Cora lists this as one of the main rules - you can't make someone love you, can't change the past, can't bring back the dead - but Zelena breaks the Time Travel "law", implying that bringing someone ''back'' from the dead can be done, which is then confirmed by the absolute disaster that Frankenstein's attempt creates. Thus, Rumplestiltskin is smart enough to know that meddling with dead people is ''not'' a good idea.

* CrypticBackgroundReference: When Midas demonstrates his curse as a show of good faith for King George, he gives a warning to his soldier who is not being careful enough with his gauntlet: "Remember what happened to Frederick."

Added DiffLines:
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Although it also borders on JerkAss; in any event, when Midas warns his soldier away from his curse by reminding him what happened to Frederick, he does this right in front of his own daughter, who was Frederick's true love.
