Emma: So Red's at the bus stop with her suitcase.
Red: I quit my job and I'm totally out of here.
Emma: There are no busses out of town. Believe me, I've looked into it.
Mary: Come stay at my place while you figure things out.
Emma: Um... I wanted to be your only foundling.
Back in the Enchanted Forest, the townsfolk are having a meeting about the wolf attack on the hunting party. One of the men is going on about how he could have been killed, or could have stopped it, when Granny, Red and Snow arrive. Snow has a scarf or something wrapped around the lower half of her face. She looks like she's a half-finished mummy, or possibly a leprosy patient.
Snow: Hey, I'm on the run.
Red: Oh, look, there's Peter. I love him.
Granny: You hate boys. I command it.
Man: I call Granny the "Widow Lucas," because she ain't my granny.
Granny: Praise be, because you are too dumb to live. Stay inside during wolftime and there won't be all this killing. When I was a little girl...
Man: Oh great, here we go.
Granny: Ahem. As I was saying, nearly 60 years ago my father and grown brothers, all veterans of the second Ogre War, decided to kill the wolf to protect me. I was supposed to stay inside the house but I crawled up on the roof to watch. These seven huge, spear-wielding men surrounded the wolf but the wolf broke all their stakes and then killed them, right before my eyes. I fell off the roof into their blood. The wolf bit me on the arm, then just looked at me and walked away.
Man: So you were bitter back then too, huh?
Granny: My point, and I do have one, is that if this wolf is like that one there's no defeating it. Just stay inside.
Snow: Back at the cottage, I look at Red all, So your Granny's a little intense.
Red: I've gotta get out of this place.
Snow: With that guy you were making moony eyes at?
Red: Yeah, Petey the sweetie. We can't even spend any time together though because Granny's so afraid of the wolf.
Snow: Well, she's right to be afraid of that thing but she's wrong to use it to keep you from love.
Red: Hey, what if we tracked down the wolf in the day, when it's sleeping. We could kill it then. We're totally capable.
Snow: Um...
Red: Please?
Snow: Well, it's less frightening than facing Regina that's for sure.
Back in Storybrooke, Mary Margaret drives the Trampmobile to the woods. She's going to search for Kathryn on her own, but she runs into David. He's totally out of it and mumbles, "I'm looking..." Mary babbles that Emma knows David didn't do it and that Emma knows when people are lying. That's at least the second reference to Emma's ability in this episode. Mary tells David she will stand by him and that she's sure Kathryn will turn up somewhere. Finally, Mary realizes David isn't exactly present. He again mumbles, "I'm looking," before wandering off. Although Mary calls after him, he doesn't even turn around.
