"One Little Tear" is a rendition of the "Rapunzel" fairy tale with Rapunzel, Dame Gothel and Rapunzel's children. It is also a rendition of the "Cinderella" fairy tale as Rapunzel is also the wicked stepmother from the fairy tale, with Cinderella, the evil stepsisters, and Cinderella's mother and father.
Lucy's ballet studio is called the Red Shoe Ballet, a reference to "The Red Shoes," a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, about a girl forced to dance continually in her red shoes.
Victoria Belfrey uses a tear to heal someone, just like her counterpart, Rapunzel, does in the fairy tale.
