- Accidental Innuendo: Ariel says that Eric is just as she remembered him "only less wet".
- Awesome Music: The music that plays when Ariel and Snow first arrive at the ball is nice and pleasant to listen to.
- Harsher in Hindsight: Emma confesses to Neal that she wishes he had been dead, to spare herself the pain of losing him again. Considering what happens later in Season 3...
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Ursula chews Regina out for impersonating her, and warns her not to do it again. She should have warned the show runners - because Season 4 introduces another Ursula who is named after the goddess and models herself off her to cause villainy.
- Just Here for Godzilla: A lot of reviewers felt the overall arc didn't progress much, but the episode was worthwhile entirely for JoAnna Garcia Swisher's performance as Ariel.
- Les Yay: The flashback is dripping with it between Snow and Ariel. It almost comes close to outdoing Snow's equally Les Yay charged friendship with Red.
