okay, i will now correct myself:

It doesn't make sense for them to name the episode after a flashback that has little-to-no effect on the present.

Most of those episodes were early on when we didn't know much about the characters and the point of the episodes wasn't to complete a plot, but was to introduce us to a character. Dreamy was about Grumpy's backstory, which he had little-to-none of at that point. The Shepherd was about pre-prince Charming, which we had none of at all beforehand. I'm pretty sure all of those episodes were pre-season 3. There are a few in Season 3/4 (i.e. Poor Unfortunate Soul, she isn't unfortunate in the present :P), but they're basically all about characters we've never gotten backstory on, or if we have it's a very small role (again, Poor Unfortunate Soul- we only got Ursula's interactions with the QoD and Rumple, not her on her own)

"Lily" is after we know a lot about the main characters, and the only person it would focus on is Emma, with a small possibility of Neal or August just because they may have been around (but probably not). If Lily does not appear in the present, it doesn't make sense to name an episode after her just because of her connection to Emma, which we've already explored almost completely (obviously not completely, since there's more in the episode :P). It might make sense to name it after the story behind Emma's connection to Lily (something about friendship), but not the character herself.
