In Sympathy for the De Vil, after Emma kills Cruella, the sound of crows can be heard in the final shot of Emma. This is a subtle hint that Emma is sliding into darkness. Crow sounds were often edited in by the sound designers for Regina's Storybrooke scenes during Season One, like when she tells Emma to leave town in Pilot, and when she is talking to Sidney by the apple tree in The Thing You Love Most.
