Nice catch! 
I really dug this episode overall but Emma pisses me off with her boneheaded decisions almost as much as David. They are definitely father and daughter.
At least David didn't fall for Regina's BS (which is nothing short of a small miracle as far as that douchebag is concerned).
I thought the ending with August and his father was sweet.
Anyone know how many years between when Rumple got his powers and he created the curse for Regina? Because I wonder if his son had already died of old age by the time Storybrooke was created.

I really shared August's frustration with Emma:
It's not that she doesn't believe, it's that she won't believe. Either all of these people telling her about fairy tales and magic are crazy, or else she is dooming the entire town to unhappiness forever.
If she can humor Henry with his story book, what's the harm with having an open mind about what the Mad Hatter and August have told her?
I enjoyed Regina's frustration at failing to seduce David. You're not all that and a bag of chips, are ya, Queenie?
(Maybe she should have tried while wearing one of her cleavage-baring royal outfits ...)

That whole moment had the straight up Lost finale feel to it. The kid wakes up in the woods and looks up to see an airplane flying overhead just like the last scene in Lost. The airplane flew too quickly for me to pick up that it was Oceanic but still knew right away that it just had to be. Pretty awesome.After weeks of not moving towards Emma figuring everything out it looks like we're finally moving closer to that. I guess the idea is that the season ends with Emma finally understanding everything and season 2 is the "battle" against the Queen.
