Ruby quit her job, and Maddie had her friend stay at her place. The next day, Henry went to the police department with Ruby and the two looked at jobs while Emma and Max worked.

Emma and Max walked in as Ruby answered the phone from people who were calling the station.

"How's it going, you two?" Emma asked.

"Great, except I can't do anything." Ruby answered.

"I'm sure that's not true." Max replied, sitting on top of the desk, "We just saw you on the phone. That was good.

"That? That's nothing."

"No. No, it isn't." Emma responded and Ruby sighed, "I actually have some money in the budget if you wanna help out around here."

Ruby stood up, "Yes! Thank you. Yes. Um, I could answer phones and help out. Is there anything else that you need done? Organize files, cleaning up? Please. I wanna be useful."

"Max and I are swamped with the Kathryn Nolan thing." Emma answered. "If you maybe want to grab us lunch, I would never say no to a grilled cheese."

"Done. You two want anything?" Ruby asked Henry and Max.

"Um, two chocolate chip cookies, an apple pie, and a hot dog." Henry said.

"I'm good, Ruby. Thanks." Max replied.

Mary Margaret came in, "Hey Mary, I'm getting lunch. Want anything?"

"Uh, no. I'm not hungry." Mary replied before Ruby left, "David's in the woods. There's something wrong with him. He looked right through me. It's like... I't like he was a different person."

When Ruby came back, the three of us drove to the woods to find David.

"This place is massive. How the heck are we gonna find him?" Ruby asked as we walked.

"Shh. We might be able to hear him." Emma replied.

"It's massive."

"I'm following the path because there are boot prints so just stay close." Max said, leading the group.

"I shouldn't even be here. I'm just gonna screw everything up." Ruby stopped and Emma ran into her, "Wait. I hear him."

"Really?" Emma and Max asked.

"Yeah, really. I hear him or... something." Ruby replied. "I mean, I know where he is. Don't you?"

Ruby ran off the path and they followed and David was on the ground, asleep.

"David?"

They shook him and he woke up, "Emma? Max? What? Ruby?"

"Do you remember where you are?" Emma asked.

"No. I..." David sat up and looked around, "What the hell? I was... I was in your office. Did you bring me here?"

"You don't remember anything since you were in my office?" Emma questioned, "Last night?"

"No. I don't." David answered.

Ruby found a box with a heart inside it. Emma went to Dr. Whale, and he said David had an episode, much like the one he had when he woke up from his coma. And Max went back to the office with the box, and Ruby decided she wanted to go back to Granny, and she did.

There were fingerprints on the box... they were Mary Margaret's.


Max fell asleep in the police station and woke up to Jefferson shaking her shoulder,

"Max, wake up."

She opened her eyes and saw Jefferson's face inches away from her own.

"Jefferson? What are you doing here?" Max asked, rubbing her purple eyes.

"Well, you weren't at your apartment, and Emma let me in here. Come on, let's go back to my place."

"But..." Max began, looking at Mary Margaret, who was asleep in the cell.

"She isn't going anywhere." Jefferson replied, picking Max up from the chair.

"I can walk by myself." Max mumbled.

"You've had a long day, Max. Just let it happen."
