Props Notes

  • The design on Zelena's compass[8] is the same as the witches' table[9] in Oz except that the colors are different. The back on the chairs around the table[10] and the illustration on the cover of the Book of Records have the same design.[11]
  • When Henry is looking at apartments, one of the classified ads says:

  • Alchemical signs for the four elements[18] are carved into the witches' table[9] and the stone pillars.[19] Each element represent one of the four witches:
    • Air, upward-pointing triangle, bisected by an horizontal line (🜁): The Witch of the North
    • Earth, downward-pointing triangle, bisected by a horizontal line (🜃): The Witch of the East
    • Fire, upward-pointing triangle (🜂): The Good Witch of the South
    • Water, downward-pointing triangle (🜄): Fittingly enough, the Wicked Witch of the West, and the seat that Dorothy Gale was offered.
      • The element of fire is associated with the south, and water is related to the west.[20] Curiously, earth is connected to the north, and air is the element of the east[20] — the exact opposite of what the two other witches represent. It is not known whether this was a mistake on the show-creators' part.
  • The Storybrooke wishing well[21] doubles as the well in Oz.[22] The roof over the wishing well was removed and a different supporting structure for the pulley was added for the episode, while protruding stone carvings were added to the bottom of the well.
  • Belle's red handbag[23] is a Mini Perry Tote from Rebecca Minkoff[24] (no longer available). Belle also has it in the next episode, "Snow Drifts".[25]
