Plot[]
Prince Charming gets mad that Bufkin isn't stacking all the books, while Red Riding Hood tries unsuccessfully to get Flycatcher to not let himself waste away. Prince Charming tells Bufkin that he will kill and eat him if he doesn't stack and shelf all the books on time. Baba Yaga tells Cinderella that she is the one questioning her, not the other way around. Hansel wants the decapitated Wooden heads, so Prince Charming gives him a list of important fables that didn't escape the Homelands and wants to know their fates. Flycatcher quit and says that he's go to the Farm. Kay and Frau Totenkinder talk, and Bufkin accidentally tells Beauty that he knows Beauty had a secretly kissed with Prince Charming. Flycatcher tells Boy Blue that he wants to do everything that Blue did back in the Homelands against the Adversary. He asked his friend to teach him how to fight.
Trivia[]
- The truck that Flycatcher uses to drive from Fabletown to the Farm is the same truck that Rose Red used to drive the Farm animals to Fabletown for the battle against the Wooden Soldiers in Fables #25 — "Our Right to Assemble Issue: Chapter Six — March of the Wooden Soldiers." Just like in Fables 25, there is a tiny doll dangling from the rearview mirror, named "Irma." This is the name of penciller Mark Buckingham's wife, who is the main inspiration behind Rose Red's appearance in the series.[1]

"Buckingham has worked half his career on Fables, and putting finishing touches on was tough for the artist because of the personal investment. The look of Rose Red was based to a great extent on his wife Irma, he says, “so drawing her for the last time was difficult because that was a poignant thing for me.”"
