* HeroicSacrifice: In the past, Arlo sacrifices himself to kill Jack and halt the invasion, at least long enough to save Anton's life and allow him to destroy the beans. In the present, David is willing to trade himself to Anton as penance for his brother's sins, if the giant will spare the rest of Storybrooke; it's this, along with saving his life, that convinces Anton David isn't like James.

* MythologyGag: Not only does Jacqueline have a size-changing mushroom from Wonderland, but she explains she got it by killing a Jabberwocky there ([[ShoutOut which also means her sword is the Vorpal Blade]]). This also explains how Regina had some to give Anton in Storybrooke--since she would have gotten it from her mother, [[ContinuityNod who was the Queen of Hearts]].

* ImDyingPleaseTakeMyMacGuffin: Arlo, giving the last bean shoot cutting to Anton and urging him to plant it to restore the magic beans one day once he finds "new land". Played with in that it's not a MacGuffin to Anton (he didn't see the value of the beans before but does now, and wants to honor his brother's wishes regardless), but that when he finally gets to keep his promise, it's to grow beans for the people of Storybrooke--for whom it is indeed just a means to an end to getting home and thus really doesn't have any value or serve any other purpose in the story.[[note]]Even when Greg and Tamara steal them later, it's still just a PlotDevice to let them get to Neverland with Henry, and for the others to pursue them.[[/note]]

Then again, it's one of Anton's beans that enables Henry to go on his quest that sets the whole plot of the final season in motion...so perhaps it had great meaning and value after all.[[/note]]
