The episode is inspired by the Sherlock Hound episode Mrs. Hudson is Taken Hostage, like here's some tropes about the Sherlock Hound episode that this Disney's Dreamers episode idea is inspired by:
 * Because You Were Nice to Me: Moriarty kidnaps Mrs. Hudson as a way of making Sherlock Hound do what he wants. Mrs. Hudson does a remarkable job of cleaning his hideout (turning it from a disheveled mess to a nearly estate-like interior over the course of an afternoon) and makes his favorite meal because his underlings overheard it at one point. She is only momentarily surprised by her kidnapping and does it because she can. Moriarty is so touched that not only does he release her willingly even after Hound has revealed the scheme failed, he promises to her face to never involve her in his battle against Hound again.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Smiley, believe it or not. When he thought Moriarty's sleeping gas actually killed Mrs. Hudson, he starts chasing him and Todd with an axe. When she does finally come to, Smiley orders them to give her something to drink. They obliged.
 * Pet the Dog: In the episode Mrs. Hudson is Taken Hostage, Mrs. Hudson is taken hostage by Moriarty. Despite being kidnapped, Mrs. Hudson treats Moriarty very kindly. Moriarty is so moved, once his plan blows up in his face he releases her and vows never to intentionally involve her in his plans again.
 * Villainous Crush: Moriarty has one on Mrs. Hudson.
