Meanwhile, Regina attempts to bribe Mr. Hyde for information about how to defeat the Evil Queen and Snow helps Dr. Jekyll find a suitable laboratory for his work.

Production Notes

  • RECYCLED CGI SET: The area around the courtyard stairs in the King's castle is recycled from the computer-generated imagery model for the Camelot castle in the Season Five episodes "The Price, "Siege Perilous" and "The Bear King", which can be seen from the almost identical design of the windows and the balustrades. The same model was later used for the Prince's castle in the Season Seven premiere "Hyperion Heights".[24] The archways in the Camelot Castle (which, ironically, were re-cycled from the old CGI model for the King's Castle in "The Price of Gold"[25]) were also re-used for this episode, and have the same design as the ones in Camelot. They were also re-used for the Prince's castle in "Hyperion Heights".[26]
  • Mary Margaret's line, "Is this our life now... just defeat and repeat?" was written by Jerome Schwartz.[27]
  • Alexandra was played by two 2-year-old twin sisters. According to director Steve Pearlman, they were "quite cooperative."[17]
  • The segment where Hook plays with Alexandra at Granny's Diner was an idea of Colin O'Donoghue, who is a father in real life and had a toddler at home at the time the episode was filmed.[17]
  • The scene where Jacob gives the invitation to the Tremaine family needed to be reshoot because of the surprising apparition of the sun, which spoiled the scene.[17]
  • During the scene at the crashed dirigible in the forest, the crew and the cast were attacked by mosquitoes. People would stop in the middle of a take and swat mosquitoes and spit them out of their mouth.[17] Clips from the attack are included in the Blu-ray/DVD blooper reel.
  • The scenes with Emma, Henry and Hook on the deserted road were filmed on a hot summer day and were tough to shoot, since Jennifer Morrison and Colin O'Donoghue were both wearing leather jackets.[17]
  • The scene between David and Belle on the Jolly Roger is one of the favorite scenes of Jane Espenson, Jerome Schwartz and Steve Pearlman from this episode.[28]
  • HIDDEN DETAILS: When Emma, Henry and Hook are trying to remember the name of Cinderella's stepsisters, one of the suggested names is "Kalinda", a reference to show writer Kalinda Vazquez.[20]
  • The writers were not sure about using a pumpkin farm in this episode because they already used one on Season Five's "Dreamcatcher".[29]
  • ABANDONED IDEAS: At the origin, Lady Tremaine was supposed to use her gun during the pumpkin's farm scene, but Steve Pearlman managed to convince the writers that the show does not need gun violence.[29]
  • Tim Phillipps had trouble delivering the line "Now, let's go to the palace. I'll wake the royal glass blower. You need new shoes.", which was a real tongue twister.[17]
    • This line was added because Lady Tremaine breaks one of Cinderella's glass slippers in this episode, but Cinderella was wearing both slippers at her wedding in "The Price of Gold".[29][30]
  • ABANDONED IDEAS: Originally, Henry and Violet were also present in the lunch scene at the pumpkin's farm with Emma and Hook. They had to be cut from this scene as the crew did not have enough of time to do it.[17]
  • The scene where Mr. Gold is walking by the Jolly Roger was shot three weeks after the end of this episode's shooting, when the Lady Washington was present at Vancouver.[17]
  • ABANDONED IDEAS: Originally, the episode was going to feature a voodoo mask similar to the transformation talisman used by Dr. Facilier in the Disney film The Princess and the Frog. The mask was created for the episode, but did not make it onto the screen.[31]

Fairytales and Folklore


Ella thanked him, went to her
mother's grave, and planted
the branch on it, and she wept
so much that her tears fell upon
it and watered it. It grew and
became a beautiful tree.
Ella went to this tree three times
every day, and beneath it she wept and prayed. A
white bird came to the tree every time, and whenever
she expressed a wish, the bird would throw down to
her what she had wished for.
Now it happened that the king proclaimed a festival
that was to last three days. All the beautiful young girls
in the land were invited, so that his son could select a
bride for himself. When the two stepsisters heard that
they too had been invited, they were in high spirits.
They called Ella, saying, "Comb our hair for us. Brush
our shoes and fasten our buckles. We are going to the
festival at the king's castle."
Ella obeyed, but wept, because she too would have
liked to go to the dance with them. She begged her
stepmother to allow her to go.
"You, Ella?" she said. "You, all covered with dust and
dirt, and you want to go to the festival?. You have

neither clothes nor shoes, and yet you want to dance!"
However, because Ella kept asking, the stepmother finally
said, "I have scattered a bowl of lentils into the ashes for
you. If you can pick them out again in two hours, then
you may go with us."
The girl went through the back door into the garden, and
called out, "You tame pigeons, you turtledoves, and all
you birds beneath the sky, come and help me to gather:

The good ones go into the pot,
The bad ones go into your crop."

Two white pigeons came in through the kitchen window,
and then the turtledoves, and finally all the birds beneath
the sky came whirring and swarming in, and lit around
the ashes. The pigeons nodded their heads and began to
pick, pick, pick, pick. And the others also began to
pick, pick, pick, pick. They gathered all the good grains
into the bowl. Hardly one hour had passed before they
were finished, and they all flew out again.
The girl took the bowl to her stepmother, and was
happy, thinking that now she would be allowed to go to
the festival with them.


Popular Culture

  • The poem Mr. Gold reads is a real poem called "Sleep Well", written by Scottish poet Murdoch Maclean.[42]
    • According to Jane Espenson, Robert Carlyle, who is Scottish, picked this poem out himself.[43] She looked at nursery rhymes and lullabies but couldn't find anything that would work, so Robert said he would find something. He e-mailed it to the writers, asking "will this work?", and the writers loved it.[20]

Goofs

  • This episode establishes that Ella was given the nickname Cinderella immediately before the King's ball, an event which takes place after Snow White and Prince Charming become an official couple. However, in the novel Red's Untold Tale (which takes place before Red Riding Hood meets Snow White in "Red-Handed" and therefore before Snow White and Prince Charming met), published one year before the episode was released, Red Riding Hood already refers to the character as Cinderella, when she says to Peter that animals adore her "every bit as as much as they do Snow White or Cinderella".[98]
