Red begs her mother to stop, but Anita says this is what it means to be a wolf. She then turns into a wolf and approaches Snow. When Anita leaps at her prey, Red wolfs out and charges at Mommy. The bitch lands on um er..some pointy thing. Given its proximity to the fireplace, I'm going to declare it a poker. As soon as Anita is impaled, she resumes human form. Red is still a wolf in wolf's clothing though, at least until Snow has the good sense to grab the red cloak and throw it on her friend. Wow, that hood really is magical. Not only does it return Red to her human form, it also returns all of Red's other clothes to her body, too. Crying, Red rushes to her mother's side and apologizes. Anita growls, "You chose her." Sobbing, Red says, "No. I chose me. I'm not a killer." Except for that one time. This one was accidental. We won't even count it.
Storybrooke. Hearing the wolf's howl, the mob soon finds Red in wolf form. She's cowering between dumpsters or shipping containers. I don't know. It's like I've lost my ability to identify and describe objects. They're big metal boxes, okay? I guess they are dumpsters. But why have two right next to each other? Maybe one is a... all right. I'll just stop. Anyhow, Widmore aims his gun at Red, but I'm much more interested in the Storybrookers, because they have torches and actual pitch forks. Whee! Just as he's about to discharge his weapon, Granny shoots her crossbow, which I decide must double as a flamethrower because otherwise I am unable to explain the flame that shoots across the lot. Did an arrow hit the bullet and cause it to explode? Anyhow, Granny's too cool for school and yells to Widmore, "The next one goes between your eyes."
Charming arrives on the scene, yelling for Ruby. One of the townsfolk yells out, "We're not sheep, David." Yeah, you largely are, given how readily you're following Widmore even though you know who he is. Charming is nicer than I, so he talks them down by explaining Widmore's frame job, and says that Red won't hurt anyone. She's just scared.
He approaches his friend, who is still wolfed out, and talks calmly to her. He explains Spencer is the murderer. Charming knows the real Red and that she can control the wolf. Eventually, she comes near enough for Charming to throw the cloak over her. Once again, it works its magic on both her body and her clothing. Human again, Ruby says, "You saved me." Charming: "No. You saved yourself. I just reminded you of what you already knew." There is a commotion in the crowd because Widmore knocked over Granny and took off. Ruby and Charming jump into the cruiser to hunt him down. Back on her feet, Granny grabs her crossbow because she's awesome like that.
