A sample of Snow's hair and a photograph of her were also found in one of her pockets. The glamour wears off, and it is revealed that it is a troll. The troll is identified as Lily, Holly the bartender's sister. Logan and Snow head to a bar to get a drink, where Jack mocks him. Logan decides to kick him out of the bar. Logan ells Holly about Lily's death, and Holly reveals that Lily was a prostitute who worked at The Pudding & Pie. Logan goes alone to he Pudding and Pie to ask Georgie, the club owner, questions. Georgie is very cocky, and he destroys the TV to get him talking. Ultimately, Logan finds a hole in the ground in which Georgie had hidden a book and some money.

He then goes to the Open Arms Hotel, and is surprised to find that Beauty works there. Beauty helps Logan, and leads him to room 207.

It is then revealed that Mr. Smith is Crane. Crane is looking through the Magic Mirror, seeing Logan and Beauty. He picks up the magic lamp and throws it at the mirror, breaking it and ending the episode.

14. "A Crooked Mile"- The episode picks up exactly where its predecessor left off; Logan and James have discovered that Crane is the murderer; a photo of him in bed with a murdered woman glamoured to look like Snow was found. He sees Beauty and Beast off to arrive at Lily's funeral, where Holly, Grendel, Prince Lawrence, Vivian and Nerissa are all attending. He chooses to interrupt Snow's eulogy to explain the situation  Eventually, Snow returns to the funeral and asks Logan to wait at a distance.Whilst they are  awaiting, the Tweedles Dum and Dee arrive with shotguns to Logan and James' back. They warn them that they will shoot them and the funeral up unless Logan and James stops searching for Crane. Infuriated at the sight of the interrupting Tweedles, Holly and Grendel unglamour themselves into their true forms, causing a shootout to occur. Logan, Holly and Grendel are all wounded in the shooting The Tweedles manage to flee as the intro to the series plays.Then, Logan is patched up by Doctor Swineheart in the Business Office. Holly and Grendel were wounded in the shooting and returned to the Trip Trap. Snow remarks that all the unknowns regarding the murder case are frustrating her. Unfortunately, Crane shattered the Magic Mirror with the Magic Lamp making him impossible to locate; Bufkin tries to piece it back together with James but Crane has apparently took a shard. Crane also seems to be interested in a particular magic object, but since its page was torn out of the book, Logan and Snow can't determine what it is. At this point Bluebeard comes in, enraged at how Crane has disappeared and that the office is lacking any official representatives. Bufkin remarks that he overheard Crane mention that he is going to see a black market witch at 2:00am, but that is only a few short hours away. Logan, Snow, James and Bluebeard determine that there are three possible leads to investigate; the Tweedles Office, Crane's apartment, or the Trip Trap to look for Lily's things (since Lily would have been getting her "Snow" glamours from a witch too). Bluebeard goes to Crane's apartment while Logan and James go to the Tweedles office. They find Flycatcher there working as a janitor. He eventually finds, in a secret room, an address book that has the initials (A.G.) of the witch Crane was using, but cannot determine her initials. He will also choose to offer Flycatcher a job at the Woodlands again.At the Trip Trap, Logan re-meets Grendel and the Woodsman. He, whilst conversing with a sleeping Holly,  will find Holly's things also pointing him to Aunty Greenleaf. He will still need to search the other locations if this is his first decision. Logan finds the witch, Aunty Greenleaf, and they manage to trace her address. Eventually, Logan, James and Snow are pointed to Aunty Greenleaf. They enter her apartment to find a very young girl, apparently Greenleaf's daughter. After opening a Glamour Tube that the girl pleas Bigby to not open, the girl is unglamoured revealing her to be Greenleaf. She is initially un-cooperative in regards to Crane's location, but she cracks down and immediately tells that he was heading to the Pudding and Pie when Snow orders her magical tree burned to ashes since the tree was being used to make illegal glamours. Logan decides to burn the tree. Logan, Snow and James go to the Pudding N Pie to confront Crane; after walking through Georgie who says into the phone "we have a problem", they find Crane grabbing Nerissa. It is revealed that Crane had been attempting to use the Ring of Dispel he bought from Greenleaf to pierce the speech-impediment Nerissa's ribbons put on her (the ribbons keep her from speaking about her job), but as Greenleaf told them earlier, the ring is no longer magical. Unable to obtain the information, Crane is unable to use the girls to acquit himself, and Logan brings up the discovered photo of him and Lily, Crane confesses his love to Snow (who will reply stating that Crane doesn't love her). Snow announces that she doesn't believe Crane is the killer (though it is known that he embezzled from Fabletown). Crane is then marched out of the club by Jamess As the four exit the club, they find themselves cornered into the alleyway by cars; Bloody Mary and the shotgun-weilding Tweedles' brothers emerge on behalf of who they call the "Crooked Man". After Mary fails to persuade Logan to hand over Crane, the Tweedles rapidly shoot at Logan until Logan transforms into his massive, terrifying werewolf form. He charges and effortlessly overpowers them both, and kills Dum. However, Bloody Mary incapacitates Logan with a silver bullet, a werewolf's weakness. He is knocked down, and is nearly killed by the Woodsman's axe (somehow in her possession); Snow and James intervene and surrenders Crane. Mary, as the Crooked Man's hand is seen waving for Mary to return, stomps on Logan's arm inflicting a compound fracture and walks away with Crane as Logan is left incapacitated.

15. "Underneath"-In a nightmare sequence, Logan is about to be axed to death by Bloody Mary; he violently awakes to find himself being operated on by Doctor Swineheart, with Colin Snow, and James watching.The Silver Bullet Mary shot Bigby with in the previous episode is Logan's key weakness requiring an important healing practice. Eventually, Swineheart finishes. Logan then has to defend himself for Dum's brutal murder to Snow. Snow then remarks that she, as the new Deputy Mayor, will start doing things by the book, meaning unglamoured Fables must be sent to The Farm. Logan will have to decide whether or not Colin must go. Snow is called, and tells Logan that Bufkin told her that Nerissa has requested to meet Logan. Nerissa and Logan speak at the latter's office, though he is unable to derive much useful information since the ribbons on Nerissa's neck impede her from discussing anything directly. Snow arrives and tells Logan that Beauty and Beast called, and Nerissa subtly tries to tell Logan that he should pursue this lead. At their apartment, Beauty acknowledges to have taken out a loan from the Crooked Man at The Lucky Pawn run by the Jersey Devil, whilst Beast acknowledges having been doing work as a courier at the butcher shop, The Cut Above -- though he suspects it is illegal merchandise and not meat in the packages he delivers. Beast also mentions having seen Bloody Mary at the shop before. When Logan visits the butcher shop, he finds a timid man Johann there; he is quiet and puts on a facade of innocence, though Logam soon realizes that in reality, the back room of his business is being used as an illegal black market factory by the Crooked Man's crew. No sign of Bloody Mary is here. When he visits The Lucky Pawn, he finds Jack there working the register; soon enough, the Jersey Devil (arguing intensely with the Woodsman) enters. After a brief scuffle between the three, Jersey unglamours into his true form and battles Logan. Logan incapacitates him, with the help of the Woodsman, who he seems to make up with. Jersey tells Logan that the door to the Crooked Man's house alternates in location. He finds Jack arguing with Toad, and looks around the shop before the scuffle occurs.Returning to the Business Office to find Bluebeard arguing with Snow who is also arguing with Toad, Logan also decides whether or not Toad should leave for the farm. Either way, Bufkin is able to repair the Magic Mirror. When Snow and James asks for Crane, it shows Bloody Mary ordering Crane to flee to Paris and not attract Fabletown's attention as she breaks off the magic mirror's vision. When Logan asks for the Crooked Man, the mirror reveals a door in an unfamiliar location before the door relocates to another area. Knowing the location of the relocated door and that the door will relocate again soon, Logan rushes out to catch it before it moves again -- though James warns him to return the Crooked Man back alive and not executed. Logan arrives and enters the door teleporting him to the Crooked Lair, where he finds Tiny Tim acting as the bodyguard. He enters the main lounge room -- he finds Dee,, Jersey Devil, Georgie and Vivian all in the room, with the Crooked Man present as the leader. Logan refuses to shake his hand as the episode ends.
