When Gold's health takes a turn for the worse, Isaac looks to a new ally for help procuring the magic ink he needs to re-write history. In a Fairy Tale Land flashback, Cora returns from Wonderland to beg Regina's forgiveness on the anniversary of Daniel's murder.

Recap
Deleted Scenes
"Things Can Change"
This scenes is included on Once Upon a Time: The Complete Fourth Season.
Returning home from New York, Regina is welcomed by Henry, while David gets Zelena out of the yellow bug. Robin Hood is skeptical about Zelena's inability to use magic, but Regina assures him that the enchanted bracelet will keep her powerless. Near, Emma reunites with Hook, just as Maleficent informs that she is taking Lily to the diner. Before the two leave, Emma calls Lily aside and threatens to use magic against her if she ever does anything to David and Mary Margaret. Regina then sends Robin Hood to retrieve a forgetting potion from her office so that Roland's recollections of the fake Marian are erased. David prepares to take Zelena to the sheriff's station, but Regina decides to take her herself somewhere else. As they all part ways, Robin Hood once more remarks that things can still work out, to which Regina replies there are things about her that he doesn't know.[3]
Regina Spares Zelena: Alternate Version
As described by Jane Espenson on the Season Four Blu-ray Audio Commentary.
The scene where Regina decides to spare Zelena's life, was originally filmed with Robin staying in the hallway outside her cell listening. Regina then went out to him after finishing her story about Cora. It was changed to Robin entering the cell during their conversation.[4]
Belle
Belle was originally set to appear in a scene where she is standing on/walking down the street outside the pawnshop, but the scene was cut. However, the scene can still be seen in an official promotional photo from the episode.[5]

Trivia
Title
- The title card features Lily under her dragon form.[8]
- The title of this episode was announced by Adam Horowitz via his Twitter account on March 4, 2015.[9]
- The title of this episode references to lots of relationships, including Emma and Mary Margaret, the Evil Queen and Cora, Zelena and her daughter, and Lily and Maleficent.
- It is Edward Kitsis who got the idea for the title of this episode.[4]
Production Notes
- The original opening scene was supposed to be the one with Regina and Robin Hood at the bar, but the editing room decided it was much more exciting to begin with the Evil Queen.[4]
- Kylee Bush, who plays the bride whose wedding the Evil Queen interrupted, is one of Michael Coleman's acting students.[10]
- The bar where Regina and Robin are at the beginning of the episode is supposed to be the same bar where Emma and Neal were in "Manhattan". However, the real bar was not available for the shooting, so another bar was faked to look like the original bar.[4]
- The little exchange between Emma and Zelena in Neal's apartment in the beginning of the episode, was written by Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis.[4]
- Footage from filming of the establishing shot of Storybrooke in the morning[11] was re-used for an establishing shot in the Season Five episodes "Our Decay"[12] and "Only You".[13] This can be seen from purplish color of the sky, and the parked cars in the streets, which are exactly the same. The time on the CGI clock tower is identical in "Only You", but was changed for "Our Decay". Footage from this shot was also used for an establishing shot in "Our Decay".[14]
- Beverley Elliott's daughter Sally and her friend Freya were background performers during one of the diner scenes.[15]
- The scene with Isaac and Mr. Gold at Granny's Diner, was originally supposed to end with them walking out of the building, but it was changed into Gold teleporting them away instead.[4]
- Originally, the scene where Emma and Regina are coming back with Zelena, Robin, Roland and Lily was set to happen at the town line, sort of "pre-dawn, misty, and everybody meeting up almost in slow-motion". Because of production issues, it had to be moved to daytime, to the center of Storybrooke.[4]
- Originally, the scene between Regina and Isaac at the mausoleum was set to happen in the backroom of Any Given Sundae. The original set had a big mirror in it, and when Regina teleported herself and Isaac to the ice cream store, she was going to tell him not to hide where there was a giant mirror, because Regina could see him through it. But the set was unavailable, so the scene was moved to the mauseoleum.[4]
- For the scene where Cora comes to Regina with news about her "soulmate", the Valet was originally going to put papers in front of Regina to sign. Someone came up with the idea of him brushing her hair instead.[4]
- The Evil Queen's date with the Sheriff of Nottingham was originally set out in the same meadow where Regina interrupted the wedding. Halfway through the date, the Sheriff would notice the rice that was spilled when Regina killed the groom, and say, "Is there rice in this grass?". However, they could not get that set, so the scene was moved to the apple tree instead.[4]
- For her date with the Sheriff, Lana Parrilla wanted Regina to have a young Cora look and essence, with the way she moved and leaned, and styled her hair. She asked the hair stylist to make her look like Rose McGowan, who plays young Cora on the show.[16]
- For the scene where the Sheriff's fake lion tattoo comes to life and crawls under his shirt, the special effects were done with a tube taped along Wil Traval's body, which went up his arm, around his neck and down the other arm. A crew member pulled an object on a string, to make his shirt ripple.[16]
- The scenes where Regina takes out her anger on her mother for setting her up with the wrong soulmate, was originally written as a single, long scene. It was edited into several scenes in post-production.[4]
Episode Chronology
- The Enchanted Forest flashbacks occur after "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" and "Heart of Gold", and before "Lacey". (For more details, see the Enchanted Forest timeline)
- The Land Without Magic and Storybrooke events take place after "Lily" and before "Operation Mongoose Part 1". (For more details, see the Land Without Magic timeline)
Episode Connections
- Daniel's grave was first seen in "An Apple Red as Blood".
- Daniel was killed in "The Stable Boy".
- Cora was banished to Wonderland in "We Are Both".
- Isaac, who is from New York City, is not impressed with the bagels at Granny's Diner. New York City is often considered to have the best bagels in the world. Neither was Henry, who also used to live in New York, and he commented on this in "The Tower".
- Cora talks about how Tinker Bell helped Regina find her soulmate; something that was explored in "Quite a Common Fairy".
- Zelena's cell at the psychiatric ward[17] is the same as the one Belle lived in during Skin Deep"[18] and "A Land Without Magic". In "The Savior", Mr. Hyde is imprisoned in the same cell.[19]
- The tavern that Cora visits[20] is the same tavern that Robin Hood used to own in "Heart of Gold".[21]
- The Sheriff of Nottingham describes Marian as "sickly". Marian's sickness was cured in "Lacey".
- Infertility potions first appeared in "Lady of the Lake".
- Regina's inability to bear a child is indirectly touched upon in "Welcome to Storybrooke".
- The location where Lily transforms back into a human and reconciles with her mother[22] is the same location where Emma had a date with August in "What Happened to Frederick"[23] (note that the Storybrooke Wishing Well appears by this tree in this episode; in later episodes, the well appears in a different location), and where Merida is sparring with Mr. Gold in "Dreamcatcher".[24]
Biblical
- The Evil Queen tells her subjects that "next time there is a wedding, book the church".
- Lily says that Snow White and Prince Charming sent her through the portal in her eggshell, "like baby Moses in his basket"; a reference to the Biblical story of the birth of Moses, from the Book of Exodus.
Disney
- A small Bambi statue is in Mary Margaret's loft.[25]
Fairytales and Folklore
- This episode features the evil queen from the "Snow White" fairytale, the miller's daughter from the "Rumpelstiltskin" fairytale, the ugly duckling from the titular fairytale, the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz story, Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham from the Robin Hood ballad, and Captain Hook from the Peter Pan story.
Popular Culture
- This episode features Nurse Ratched from the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The man sweeping the floor at the psychiatric ward looks like Chief Bromden from the 1975 movie of the same name.
- Lily angrily tells her mother that she "doesn't need grooming advice from Annie Hall". This is a reference to the 1977 romantic comedy of the same name, where the titular character wears an outfit similar to Maleficent.
- Interestingly, the movie contains an animation scene in which Annie is portrayed as the evil queen in the "Snow White" fairytale.
- According to Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, this film inspired them to write.[26]
- When Jane Espenson wrote the episode, she "went back and forth between Annie Hall and Marlene Dietrich. Kids love Marlene Dietrich references."[27]
Set Dressing
Costume Notes
- Regina is wearing[29] a Short Leather Jacket with a Python Style Embossed Collar from The Kooples.[30] (no longer available). She was also wearing it in the previous episode, "Lily", but in that episode, it was covered by her coat.[31] She continues to wear it in "Operation Mongoose Part 1"[32] and "Operation Mongoose Part 2".[33] She also wears it in the Season Five episodes "The Dark Swan",[34] "The Bear and the Bow"[35] and "Birth"[36] and the Season Six episode "The Song in Your Heart".[37]
- Maleficent's jacket is emblazoned with a Chinese dragon.[38]

- The doublet worn by the Sheriff of Nottingham[43] is the same garment worn by Lancelot on Guinevere's birthday in the Season Five episode "The Broken Kingdom"[44] and by Nottingham's Wish Realm counterpart in the Season Six episode "Tougher Than the Rest".[45] The main reality version of Nottingham also wears the garment in the Season Two episode "Lacey".[46]
Goofs
- When Emma and the others arrive in Storybrooke, in the first shot of the scene, on the left side of the screen, there is a sign that says "Steveston Museum and Visitor Centre".[47]
- When everyone arrives in Storybrooke,[48] the license plate on a car parked outside the diner is 40F5TH, which is the same as Regina's in "Fruit of the Poisonous Tree",[49] Jim's in "What Happened to Frederick",[50] a car next to August's motorcycle in "The Return"[51] and Archie's license plate in "We Are Both".[52]
Filming Locations
- The Admiral Pub & Grill in Burnaby doubles as the New York Pub where Regina and Robin discuss the future.[53]
- The scene where Lily, as a dragon, attacks Mary Margaret and David, was filmed in the North 40 Park Reserve in Delta, British Columbia.[54]
