At the Sheriff's Department, Elaine, Emma, Katy and David were sitting in Elaine's office, Emma handed David a cup of tea, "Thank you. I hope Kathryn's somewhere warm, not out in the cold," David said.

"David. I think you need to start worrying about yourself a little bit more here. Your wife is missing. You are in love with another woman. There's this... Unexplained phone call," Elaine said as she glanced at Kathryn's phone records.

"I know, I know. I just... I can't explain why it says that. I didn't do anything to my wife," David said.

"My sister and I are pretty good at spotting a liar and, honestly, liars have better material. Now, go home," Elaine said.

"I can go?" David asked.

"We don't even know if there was a crime yet. So, get some sleep," Elaine said.

"Thank you," David said and stood up to leave.

"And, David?" He looked at her, "Maybe... Get a lawyer," Elaine said and David nodded before he walked out.

Emma sighed, "I don't get it," Emma said.

"Same..." Elaine said as she sat down.

Katy's phone beeped and she looked at it to see a text from August, "Girls, I gotta run. Daniella's father wants to... Have a talk," Katy said.

"Go, there's not much we can do with this evidence right now," Elaine said.

"Alright," Katy said and walked out.

At Granny's Diner, Ruby was flirting with August who was sitting at one of the tables, "You can't be serious. A whole year without a roof over your head?" Ruby said.

"Well, you get used to it. Plus, I had the motorcycle. So, if I didn't like a place after a while..." August said.

"Ruby?" Granny called out.

"I've never even been out of Storybrooke. What was your favourite place?" Ruby asked, ignoring Granny.

"Nepal. Best people. They have these prayer temples carved into mountains that are overrun with lemurs," August said.

"What's a lemur?" Ruby asked.

"Ruby!" Granny called out louder.

"Just give me a sec!" Ruby said.

"They're little animals. And they have these eyes that reflect light. So, at night, it looks like they glow," August said.

"Ruby! Stop flirting and get over here!" Granny called out over the counter and Ruby walked over to her.

Katy walked inside, removed her coat as she walked around August and sat opposite him, "What is it?" Katy asked.

"Hello to you too, dinner?" August said.
