Emma: I'll hire you. Could you get me some lunch?
Ruby: I just quit waitressing. I mean... yes.
Mary: I pass Ruby as she's on her way out the door. I'm there to tell Emma about how weird David was acting. It's like he was a different person.
Henry: I'm just sayin'...
Back in the Enchanted Forest, the girls follow the trail. They stop when the tracks change from wolf tracks to tracks that seem to be half-wolf and half-boot.
Puss In Boots: Don't look at me. I'm not even in this episode.
Recapper: Here, kitty kitty. Get out of my recap.
Snow: Wolves don't wear boots. And look, then the tracks continue as if they're from a man. What kind of monster is this.
Red: Wolfstime is monthly, on the full moon. I once heard a story about a creature...
Snow: Hey, there's the cottage, and look -- the tracks lead right to your window. Um, any chance Petey the Sweetie is the big bad wolf?
Red: He was at my window last night, before the killings. But he'd never kill anyone -- at least not in human form. The hunting party will kill him if they find him, or he'll kill them.
Snow: I think you'd better tell Peter what is what.
Red: Can I save him?
Snow: You can save everyone!
Back in Storybrooke, Ruby steels herself before entering the diner. She talks up her job as if she's almost a deputy but then Granny points out she's still getting lunch for other people. Granny says she hopes Ruby finds what she's looking for. Ruby's eyes are teary as she asserts that she is.
Red and Peter are alone in the Enchanted Forest. She is not wearing her red cloak. She tells Peter about the wolfman. After some back and forth, he is convinced it's a possibility. He's devastated by the thought that he could have killed all those people. Red comforts him and says she'll get some rope and tie him up for the night. Peter just happens to have chains on him. And as the forumites have pointed out, he is a blacksmith's boy, but I still think it's goofy that he's walking around with chains in his satchel. Those things are heavy. Anyhow, while goofy, it is convenient. He tells Red he'll show her how to bind him so that he can't get loose, and that once that's done she must leave. Red says she's staying with him all night, and for all the night's to come. Peter is touched that she'd do that for him. Red says, "I would do anything for you." She lays her head on his chest and sighs. Poor dear.
