* KickTheSonOfABitch: The Sheriff of Nottingham agrees to tell Rumpelstilskin where Robin Hood is in exchange for [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil a night with Belle]]. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Rumpelstiltskin refuses]], only for the Sheriff to try and haggle for at least an hour. His response? [[TongueTrauma He magically removes his tongue]] and agrees to give it back as payment instead. It's equal parts disturbing and satisfying.

per Trope Repair Shop, Jerkass Facade is being cut in favor of Hidden Heart Of Gold / Jerk With A Heart Of Gold.


* JerkassFacade:
** Rumple works hard to maintain this in his hunt for Robin Hood.
** Gold later adopts the facade again when it becomes apparent that Lacey is turned on by it.
** He arguably inverts it earlier on, trying to hide his darker side when on a date with Lacey.

* CallBack: [[Recap/OnceUponATimeS2E3TheCrocodile Once before]], Gold came to David for advice about how to win over Belle. Now he has to do it again, this time with her cursed persona, Lacey. This is also a ContinuityNod to the fact Rumple had worked to bring Snow and Charming together, and in the process admitted he once had someone he loved, so David knows he's sincere about this. Also, when David refuses at first because of Gold manipulating Snow into killing Cora, he gets him to change his mind by saying he'd owe the prince a favor (reversing when Emma owed one to Gold).

* SayingTooMuch: When Emma tries to convince Regina to lay off her and Neal for not having Henry in their lives until now, by saying she needs to be the woman Henry wants her to be, she accidentally hints at the magic beans her parents showed her by stating otherwise Regina is "gonna lose him." This gets the mayor investigating and eventually finding the bean field.


Added DiffLines:

* TrackingDevice: Regina uses a spell to follow the path of Charming's truck back to the cloaked bean field.

Added DiffLines:

* EvilIsPetty: What seems like this at first, with Regina giving Belle cursed memories as a HardDrinkingPartyGirl who wants nothing to do with the good man Gold is trying to be, makes a lot more sense once you remember that a) Gold tried to kill Regina with the Wraith because of her lying to him and holding Belle prisoner for 28 years b) him manipulating Snow into killing Cora to save his life and c) most recently, him preventing her from taking Snow's heart to cast her spell on Henry. While Gold had good reasons (to varying degrees) for doing all of these things, and Regina was clearly to blame as well, her actions are coming from vengeance and bitterness, not mere pettiness.
