On-Screen Notes

 * The insignia on the vault shows interlocking deer antlers, a reference to the stag heart which the Evil Queen received from the Huntsman.
 * The boxes containing hearts are arranged in twelve rows and nine columns. When the two numbers are multiplied, the sum is one-hundred and eight, which is also Regina's house number in Storybrooke.
 * The ceiling of Regina's father's tomb says "QU[obscured]SSE VIDERIS". "Quam esse videris" is Latin, and roughly translates as "how to be seen". Esse quam videri is a Latin phrase meaning "To be, rather than to seem (to be)", which has been used as a motto by a number of different groups.
