ABC Once Upon A Time

Pretty In Blue is a reference to the 1986 film Pretty in Pink, a movie about a poor girl who falls in love with a rich boy, bridging the gap between social classes and culminating in a ball; a parallel to the "Cinderella" story. Also, in Disney's Cinderella, the titular character dons a blue gown for the royal ball; in this episode, Jacinda wears a blue dress for her dinner at an upscale restaurant with Nick Branson. Pretty in Pink was written by John Hughes. Cinderella's love interest, Henry Mills, loves John Hughes movies, something that is touched upon in the Season Six episode "I'll Be Your Mirror", and "Wake Up Call" and "Sisterhood".

Season seven premieres tonight at 8 PM EST on ABC. Feel free to leave comments here.
