Synopsis
Storybook Love, Part 1

As Snow White slowly recovers from a bullet to the brain, she and Bigby spend a lot of time in each other's company. But when they announce that they'll be vacationing together, all of Fabletown is shocked...and not just because Snow White has never taken a holiday before. The twosome's sudden departure from New York City - and the deadly peril they're about to fall into - is surely no match for the ruthless enemy who's still lurking in the back woods. 

Plot
Wilfred and Rex from the mouse police search Bluebeard's office for information. It's springtime in Fabletown and Snow has upgraded from the wheelchair to crutches. After flirting with Snow, Bigby is told by her that she is not interested. Bluebeard and Prince Charming have a fencing match hosted in Edmond Dantès' studio, Chateau d'If Fencing Academy. They face off in front of many students, but Bluebeard beats him five to nothing.

Meanwhile at The Farm, Rose Red tells Jack that it is over between them as she is doing a fantastic job of the place. Meanwhile at Bluebeard's apartment, Goldilocks and Bluebeard have been having sex in exchange for her safety as she is the most wanted fable. Wilfred and Rex leave to report Goldilocks' location. However before they can leave, she spots them and Hobbes ends up throwing a knife, impaling Rex which kills him. Wilfred manages to escape. Bluebeard states that their plan will have to commence now, so he uses a magical potion to control Snow and Bigby to leave Fabletown so that he and Goldilocks can kill them without anyone knowing.
