Trivia
On-Screen Notes
- At the time, one could only see the Magic Mirror's face placed on a black-blue background, contrary to Emma and Regina in the World Behind the Mirror.[1] But this is probably because it was a different kind of spell, as the Magic Mirror didn't even need the Evil Queen first to interact a mirror to talk to her. ("The Thing You Love Most," "I'll Be Your Mirror")
- When Zelena is viewing the past through the mirror, most of the image -- Zelena's baby eyes, the baby blanket, the basket, Cora's cloak, and the sky[2] -- take on a greenish tint, which is different from the actual scene in "Bleeding Through."[3] ("Our Decay")
