** Also, Emma believes she's gotten the goods on Tamara by finding sand on her running shoes in the closet (since she had told Neal she would be going through the woods). Then she shows up and claims she'd just decided to change course to the beach at some point. But later when the spell Mary Margaret uses lets them see Regina is being held captive in a place near the waterfront, the evidence starts swaying Neal.

** In a less critical (and much less dire) moment, Emma asks Henry to stand guard for her while she searches Neal and Tamara's room at the B&B, and kick the door if someone comes. Only a short time later Neal finds Henry in the hall, and when he unobtrusively tries to let Emma know, Neal recognizes the move as one he himself taught Emma, thus figuring out what's up.

Which is also a small CallBack to Henry outsmarting him with a move similar to his own means of giving people the slip, back in "Welcome to Storybrooke."

* HistoryRepeats: Neal once again falls through a portal after letting go of someone he loved. At the same time, this happens in order to ''prevent'' the trope in another sense--if he hadn't let go, both of them would have fallen in, and then Henry would have been left to grow up without his parents, just as happened to both Neal and Emma.

* SpottingTheThread: Charming and Snow think Regina just took the beans from her office and left. But not only does Emma point out she wouldn't have left evidence (like the bean plants) behind, she discovers the security alarm for the office had been overridden...something Regina would not have had to do. (Presumably Hook learned the code when he was there with her last, and gave it to Tamara.)

Added DiffLines:

* RomanticRunnerUp: Neal dismisses Emma's suspicions of Tamara with this trope, namely that Emma is jealous of his fiancee, her new rival. One has to wonder if Tamara wasn't just using Neal to learn about Storybrooke and magic, but also [[TheChessmaster planned to invoke this trope all along]] in order to avoid being found out (since she knew Neal had once been involved with Emma, and that she was in Storybrooke, from listening in on Neal and August talking).

* WeakenedByTheLight: Although it is able to douse all the lamps Bae and the Darling children light in the nursery, Pan's Shadow can't take it when Bae lights a match and holds it close. [[DidntThinkThisThrough Of course this results in him falling into the ocean]], but he understandably found that preferable.

* MyGreatestFailure: When Emma admits (after Neal once again claims she's only after Tamara because of her being his fiance) that she still holds resentment for how he left her, Neal invokes the trope by saying listening to August and leaving her in jail is his biggest regret...and that it's fear she would never forgive him for it that kept him away all this time.

* AntiMagicalFaction: Greg and Tamara reveal they are part of this, something called "the Home Office", whose mission is to find magic whenever it crosses into our world and destroy it. Supposedly it has done so numerous times before Storybrooke (other fairy tales?), and they have destroyed it many times as well. Although it will be revealed in a couple episodes that matters are not at all what they believe.



* ColdBloodedTorture: What Greg and Tamara were inflicting on Regina, on his part to get information about his missing father Kurt, on her part to learn how to activate the failsafe trigger so they can destroy Storybrooke and magic.

** Rumplestiltskin demanding that someone kiss his boot. That it's Dr. Whale is probably even more delicious from Gold's point of view.



** David calls in the favor Gold owes him (for helping him woo Lacey) to get the spell to find Regina.
* CycleOfRevenge: Snow references this obliquely (likely thanks to Gold's talk to her in "Welcome to Storybrooke") when she points out that if they can find Regina and save her, this could not only make up in some small way for her killing Cora, it would be a way to help heal their family. When they do finally rescue Regina, she comes at it from the other side--that while they are angry at her for planning to use the failsafe to destroy Storybrooke, she knew they were planning to abandon her when they went back to the forest, but with the bigger worry of Greg and Tamara now having it, they need to set this back-and-forth blame and revenge aside.



* HeroicSacrifice: Bae offers himself to the shadow in place of Michael. Later, Neal lets go of Emma so that he won't drag her into the portal, too.
* OhCrap: Regina, when she realizes Greg and Tamara have the failsafe, and thus, are capable of wiping Storybrooke off the map.

* InternalReveal: Lacey, listening in while Gold gives Snow and Charming the spell they need, learns he does know how to use magic. This in turn leads him to tell her, after revealing his magic can make them both immortal, that he can still die, and that there's a prophecy one would be his undoing. Which in turn compels Lacey to tell him to "get rid of them" so they can be safe.
