Once Upon a Time: Little Red Riding Hood

Ahh, finally. We get to learn about Red or Ruby as we know her. She is actually a really beautiful girl. This was such a good episode, let's dig in, shall we?

In Fairy Tale Land.....

We are at Granny's house and she is telling Red to wear her cloak and to lock the doors and the shutters. Before she does, Red talks to her friend Peter who she clearly is in love with. They speak about running away. Does everyone want to run away in Fairy Tale land? The knights come to Granny's door to tell her that they are going to fight the wolf, since he took out all her sheep. She warns them not to, but to stay home and lock the doors.

Red goes to collect eggs from the chickens and sees Snow hiding out. She tells her that she can stay with her and asks her name. Snow first says Frosty, then says Margaret and then says Mary. Nice little play on her Main name, Mary Margaret there. She tells her she is running from someone and does not want to be found. Red tells her about Peter and how she wants to be with him.

Granny goes with Red and a masked Snow to the town meeting. She tells the tale of the wolf and how her father and 7 brothers died trying to protect her from it as she watched on the roof. She came tumbling down and the wolf scratched her arm and then ran way. He marked her. They still want to go and fight even though she warns them.

Snow and Red follow the trail of footprints, are these it? No, those are a dog. Are these? NO, that is a rabbit. Then they find a bit bigger print with claws and then it turns into half boot, half wolf print. Red and Snow diverge that this must be a man who turns into the wolf. She assumes it must be Peter. She sneaks out of the house, making Snow sleep in her red cape pretending to be her. She meets up with Peter and ties him with chains to the tree, saying he might be the wolf man.

Granny comes to check on Red and notices it is Snow and is in horror. She admits to Snow that Red is the wolf and she knew about it all along. The red cloak keeps her from turning. They run to find Peter but it is too late. Red has eaten him and all of these men. They are coming after her, Granny shoots her then cloaks her and she turns back to herself. She realizes what she has done and that she is the wolf and she runs out of there. Granny is there to protect her. She was a wolf too and it was her grandfather who marked her years ago.

In Storybrooke.....

Emma is questioning David about Kathryn and the phone call. He has no idea about it and Emma can tell when someone is lying. She lets him go. Red is fed up with the way she is being treated at the diner. She was flirting with August and Granny embarrasses her. She wants Red to work Saturday nights now to learn the business but she says no. She decides to quit and runs off. She ends up working for Emma and answering the phone and getting grilled cheese for them. She is so unsure of herself and her purpose in life.

MM is in the forest looking for Kathryn and clues about her. She runs into David but he doesn't seem like himself. He just says to her that he is looking and wonders off. She asks Emma to help and she brings Ruby with her. Ruby seems to have a keen sense of hearing (wolf trait?) and hears David breathing. He was knocked unconscious in the woods. They bring him to the doctor and find out that he has been blacking out and not knowing what is going on. Regina comes in and says that Emma should be arresting him since she has gone back to being his emergency contact. It seems that David has been going into a fugue state (One tree hill much?) and not remembering things, so maybe he did make that call to his wife.

Emma asks Ruby to help her find more information out. She sends her to the woods to look for something unusual. Ruby uses her keen sense of smell and wolfness to dig under a patch.  She finds this box and when she lifts it up she finds a human heart. Looks to me like one of Regina's boxes. If so, did she kill Kathryn and take her heart then bury it to make someone look guilty? Red brings the heart in and Emma goes to see David and MM to tell them her findings. We realize that the box is a human heart, but we don't know who's yet. And the fingerprints on the box are not in fact Davids, but they are MM's. Did Regina plant that to make her look like she had motive to kill her husband's lover?

Meanwhile, Ruby asks for her job back. She sees the scratches on Granny's arm and asks how they are. She says they get worse during the full moon, joke much? She tells her she wants Ruby to take over the business when she dies. It seems that they have much in common.

What will come next? Who's heart is it and is Regina behind this? Will she unlock Henry's book that is hidden in Emma's office? Can August break the curse too or is he a character as well? More of Ruby please, she is so pretty!
