Belle's voice repeats the words over and over in her head, husky and groggy and uncharacteristically quiet as it tells the story of uncoutable nights in the Queen's prison, the image of which is by now painted before Ruby's wolf-turning eyes with rough precision, only to rewind to the beginning when the ending bell tolls.

"Get him out of the cell," she starts without preamble upon entering the Sheriff's station. Her clenched fists and offensive stance are not lost on Emma, but just this once, the Sheriff is more than willing to turn a blind eye, disappearing behind the corner with a sombre "You have five minutes."
"I'll make sure you remember her name," Ruby growls, baring her teeth, as she delivers the first blow.
Outside the office, Emma plugs earphones in her ears and presses 'play' on her iPod to resume Evanescence - Haunted from where she had paused it.
