Quotes
Robin Hood: What about this? Is this magical?
Regina Mills: Not exactly. But, it's a liquid that can conjure courage, give strength, or even act as a love potion of sorts. It's called Whisky, and, no, it's not magical. Especially, not the next day.
Trivia
Production Notes
- The title card features Lumiere.
- The cover of the book which holds the key to the Dark One's vault,[3] shows an image of the Gnostic deity Abraxas. The text and the image is a replica of the engraving on one of the Abraxas stones.
- The page with the key,[4] is a transcript from a page[5] in Book VIII of De Civitate Dei (The City of God), a book of Christian philosophy written in Latin by early Christian theologian and philosopher Augustine of Hippo in the early fifth century.
- The page contains part 1, and the start of part 2, from Book VIII. An English translation can be found on Project Gutenberg:

- The page contains part 1, and the start of part 2, from Book VIII. An English translation can be found on Project Gutenberg:
- The page with the key,[4] is a transcript from a page[5] in Book VIII of De Civitate Dei (The City of God), a book of Christian philosophy written in Latin by early Christian theologian and philosopher Augustine of Hippo in the early fifth century.
- The label on Zelena's bottle of orange juice[6] says Andana; the Cebuano word for "story".[7] It is "best before" January 21. 2014. The text at the top of the bottle says "la pulpe se dépose naturellement", which is French for "pulp settles naturally".
- The book[8] that Belle uses to identify the symbol on Neal's hand is written in Latin.
- The symbols on the vault of the Dark One[9] includes the tomoe, the triquetra, the triangle, the Eye of Providence and the pentagram. Circling all the other symbols is the Ouroboros, which represents cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself—fitting for the vault of the Dark One.
