On-Screen Notes

 * According to Edward Kitsis, the inhabitants of the Land of Untold Stories have run away because they do not want their stories to play out.
 * There is more than one key in Fairy Tale Land that allows people to pause their story and create a portal to the Land of Untold Stories.
 * As Dr. Jekyll and the others are walking through the marketplace, as Mary Margaret asks "Forced to flee from what?", the Three Musketeers are touching their swords together on the left hand side of the screen.
 * As Hook leads the others into the alley, they walk past a Frontiersman dressed like Davy Crockett.
 * A woman from the Land of Untold Stories, who is seen entering the diner in Storybrooke, has a scarlet "A" on her dress, just like Hester Prynne, the protagonist of Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel The Scarlet Letter. In the book, the character is convicted of adultery and is forced to wear a prominent scarlet letter "A" (for adulteress) for the rest of her life.

Production Notes

 * The computer-generated imagery model used for the exterior of Dr. Jekyll's house and the surrounding buildings, is recycled from the model created for the Darling House and the neighboring building in "Second Star to the Right". In the exterior shot in the Land of Untold Stories, the building in the middle and the one on the right, are almost identical to the London buildings.
