* BaitAndSwitch: It seems as if, when the healer says he will make a deal for the antidote to cure Bae but it will have "a terrible price", and Rumple says he would give "anything" for it, that this price will be Milah--such as, perhaps, that it will be a spell by the healer that causes Milah to run off with Hook. But instead the deal is for Rumple's second-born child...and it is the repugnance of this deal that indirectly drives Milah to Hook.

** Gold's crystal ball spell seemed to be meant to let him look in on Belle, yet his horrified reaction as he drops it suggests otherwise. It's not till episode's end that it's revealed he'd actually been trying to look in on his ''child'' (Bae), and seeing her both let him know he had another child on the way...and meant that child was in danger should a certain old contract come to light.



* CrystalBall: Gold uses one of these, seemingly to check in on Belle, only to drop and smash it when he sees her. The reason for this (and his horrified reaction) isn't explained until episode's end: he'd actually been trying to look in on his ''child'' (Bae) and seeing her both let him know he had another child on the way...and meant that child was in danger should a certain old contract come to light.

* EvilIsPetty: Gold basically spends the entire episode rubbing Milah's failures in her face as often as he can.

* EvilIsPetty: Gold basically spends the entire episode rubbing Milah's failures in her face as often as he can. Since [[NeverMyFault (as usual)]] he also blames Emma for him being in the Underworld in the first place, this also plays into how he deliberately reveals her connections with Bae and Hook to Milah, in the most unflattering way possible.



* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Gold. Not only does he end up forced to serve Hades, but it's revealed that he had killed the healer to get out of the deal for his secondborn in order to safely have a child with Cora. That deal never got to be honoured because Cora chose to marry Henry (making her child not Rumple's)...but now Belle is pregnant, making her child Gold's second born. And the healer is in the Underworld, able to sign over the contract to Hades. [[LaserGuidedKarma So Gold killed the healer for nothing, and has now suffered the same fate he had tried to visit on Cinderella (and which the literary Rumpelstiltskin gave to all his victims)]].
