Everyone finishes with Boy Blue's funeral, but Rose Red believes that Boy Blue will come back. When Pinocchio tells Flycatcher his plan to bring back Boy Blue, Flycatcher tells him that Boy Blue deserves the peace he is getting instead of coming back to a world of sorrow. Stinky gives a convincing speech of how Boy Blue is going to come back. When Beast tells Bigby that he has to leave the Farm, provoking him, both of them turn into their inhuman forms.
