* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: While the episode and the story was well-received, Hercules and Megara are sent off to Olympus at the end - never to appear on the show again.
* WTHCastingAgency: Subverted. Jonathan Whitesell got some criticism for not being beefy enough to play Hercules. But given that finding someone that size - who can also ''act'' - greatly dilutes the choices, [[AbilityOverAppearance he won plenty of people over with his performance]].

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Much {{Narm}} had come from people constantly referring to Snow as 'Mary Margaret'. This episode establishes the reason as being that Snow feels as though her original name belongs to a hero she no longer is.

Added DiffLines:

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Much {{Narm}} had come from people constantly referring to Snow as 'Mary Margaret'. This episode establishes the reason as being that Snow feels as though her original name belongs to a hero she no longer is.
* CharacterRerailment: Big time for Snow. She is the centre of the action, a flashback touches on how she became a hero in the first place, and she's the one who ultimately convinces them to save the day. She even lampshades the {{Flanderization}} of her only rattling off speeches about hope she went through in the last two seasons. As one reviewer put it:
--> "This essentially recaptured that adventurous, yet emotionally grounded feeling of the first two seasons."
* GeniusBonus: Herc's unfinished business involving getting a second chance to save Megara could be a little nod to the original mythology - where (thanks to MindRape by Hera) ''he'' was the one who killed her.
* HilariousInHindsight: Before crossing over, Hercules asks Snow if she's sure they don't want him to stick around. This is quite prophetic of fans wishing to have more of him.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: While the episode and the story was well-received, Hercules and Megara are sent off to Olympus at the end - never to appear on the show again.
* WinTheCrowd: The return of Bailee Madison as the teenage Snow was met with a lot of cheers.
