Henry's (Jared S Gilmore) drinking coffee to say awake and Spencer (Alan Dale) confronts Charming. But we don't know where he was hiding out all this time still. Spencer and Charming can fight him here again. He wants his family back. He's just a shepherd pretending to be a prince and he's not fit to run the town.
Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Red are on the run from the Queen's men in the woods and Snow rips her wanted poster from a tree. Funny she got it screwed up so much in such a short time. Red tore her hood and thinks it won't wok now. Snow thinks it will. She wants Snow to run. They'll meet up at the stream. Snow is being kind to her cos it's not who she really is. They'll meet up at the stream. Next day Ruby wakes and someone steals her hood. Of course they would the way she just dropped it there. His eyes glow, he's another wolf, Quinn (Ben Hollingsworth). He tells her there's a way to control being a wolf and takes her to their secret hideout; the grand hall of the castle which has sunk to the ground.
Here she meets the rest of her pack and her mother, Anita (Annabeth Gish). Granny lied to her. Anita knows of how she can control being a wolf. Ruby is found in the forest and thinks she killed someone as they find Billy dead, his legs in a dumpster. Ruby wants to be locked up in jail so the town is protected from her. Anita doesn't believe they're monsters. She helps them embrace their true nature, she can only control the wolf by accepting it's part of her. She doesn't need her hood. She begins to run with the rest of the wolves.
Henry has another nightmare surrounded by fire (didn't he look like he was standing on a disco floor) there he sees another robed figure who has to be Aurora (Sarah Bolger). He awakes to find Regina (Lana Parrilla) there. Charming called her cos he's on an emergency. She sees Henry has a real burn on his hand showing it wasn't just a dream. She takes him to Gold (Robert Carlyle) for help and he gives him a potion contained in a talisman which she should wear around his neck when he sleeps. Regina says her Vics weren't meant to wake up from the curse so she didn't care about them A sleeping curse means their souls falls to Netherworld and it's real. Even when the curse is broken the Vics find their way back to that world. Just like Aurora. Henry can control his actions in the world and his fear will stop. Then he can come and go as he pleases. Regina won't be able to afford a housecall but it's on him cos it's for Henry. This means Aurora was also under a sleeping curse which is why she is having those dreams and finding herself in the Netherworld.
Spencer threatens Charming by getting the townsfolk to turn on him since he's protecting Ruby who he says is the real killer. Charming takes her to the library where Belle will chain her up. However Ruby wants to turn herself in cos she's to blame and should be punished for her actions. Charming knows the only way to prove Ruby's innocence is to find out who really killed them. Would have thought that was apparent, Spencer who else, surprised Charming didn't think of him. Granny smells blood in the boot of a car where they find Ruby's hood and an axe. The car belongs to Spencer. Ruby is cornered as a wolf and Charming tells them Spencer was responsible for the killings. Charming talks Ruby down and makes her control her wolf side. Spencer escapes and throws Jefferson's hat into the fire. Like that will stop him from getting the others back. Ruby stops Charming from shooting him. She knows he'll find a way to bring them back and he'll have help.
Snow stumbles into their hideout by following wolf tracks like Red taught her. The Queen's men follow and Anita wants her to kill Snow, they'll feast on her. Red won't let her do that so she turns into a wolf and Anita is accidentally impaled. Red saved Snow and she calls her family. Snow was the only one who didn't make her choose between being a wolf and a human. They go off in search of that cabin in the woods.
Henry sleeps again and ends up in the same place, he controls the fire and sees Aurora. Emma (Jennifer Morrison) tells Snow Mulan knows where Cora might be. Aurora tells them about seeing the boy whose name is Henry. Gold coming to Henry's aid was a stroke of genius especially since it's a possible way of crossing between worlds now that Jefferson's hat is in the wind, er fire actually. Since he's no longer in the show, he can't make anymore hats. SO we don't know what happened to him or to Grace. Hate things being left up in the air like that.
As for Spencer he was evil and cruel just for the sake of it since he doesn't really achieve much. He couldn't get the townsfolk to turn against Charming and killed innocents, only to have his plan backfire on him. Showing good did triumph after all. Anyway what would Jefferson's hat have done as a portal is was already in tatters.
Red was a bit too hasty in going along with her mother and falling in with the wolfpack, so Snow had to help her there, as Charming helped Ruby in Storybrooke. I didn't think her story was that memorable. She knows she has good in her and she only killed Peter and no one else and was a bit too quick to fall on her sword. Though the way her backstory was told it looked as though the wolves had come to Storybrooke too and did the killing. But not clever enough since Spencer was an obvious guilty party from the outset.
"May you always run free beneath the moon's pale light."
The title is a Rollin' Stones song on the reverse side of Jumpin' Jack Flash from 1968. Ruby's arrowhead earrings are a tribute to Quinn. who was killed by an arrow when they came for Snow in the hideout. Also the blue star on the tow truck was an allusion to the Blue Fairy as she appeared as a star to Pinocchio. In the Pilot episode Emma's birthday candle was in the form of a blue star too.
Also noticed the townsfolk out for Ruby's blood were just extras and none of he main cast proper. Would've thought Regina and Rumples would have been on that lynchmob, once upon a time! Ruby returning each time to being human with all her clothes intact.
