* LampshadeHanging: Kristoff points out how desperate Anna's plan to find Elsa is through the use of an IncrediblyLamePun--she thinks Rumplestiltskin has Elsa because she finds a golden straw on the floor, so he says she's literally grasping at straws. (Of course, [[TheCloudCuckoolanderWasRight she's right]].)

* DeusExMachina: While it was set up long before this that the necklace was of mysterious and unknown origin, and there were plenty of hints as to its true nature in this episode (somehow appearing out of the Snow Wall, Elsa mentioning it was old but she didn't know where it came from, the pieces of mirror embedded in it showing it was more than what it seemed, Anna and Blackbeard speaking of the wishing star as a sculpture without ever describing it or showing it), the revelation of its power at just the right moment so Elsa could save Anna and Kristoff (and thus create the vaccine for the town) was rather fortuitous.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: The locator spell seems to have failed...but then the necklace it was cast on turned out to be the wishing star that could bring Anna back. It could even be said that the spell didn't fail at all, because it brought Elsa to where Anna was ''going'' to be.

* WhamShot: While the entire ending of the episode is pretty much an extended one of these, the real GutPunch moment is after the mirror fragments shatter Snow and Charming's eyes...and then their hands pull apart, and the look Snow gives Charming is absolutely chilling.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Snow is angry that Elsa risked the entire town for her sister. It actually creeps Regina out. Of course, Snow herself risked the entire town to save Regina in the season 2 finale.

* TheNeedsOfTheMany: Both Regina and Snow agree that Elsa should give up the necklace so that the fairies can create a antidote for the Spell of Shattered Sight, as saving the town from tearing itself apart is more important than finding Anna.

** Elsa [[HeroAntagonist tricks the others by giving a sack full of rocks instead of Anna's necklace]] and uses it to locate Anna, which prevents the fairies from being able to develop a antidote quickly. Fortunately Anna is found and her hair can also serve as a component for a antidote, but then....
