While she’ll be with Alice, he’ll be riding around with a sheriff deputy. Hermione starts to question the wisdom of this move, but Hiram reminds her that the chaos of the riots is good for them. They talk about Hermione heading over to the Register to make an announcement to Alice.

Betty then heads to the Register office (where there’s apparently a full staff now) to meet up with her mother (who says her father is out covering the riots). She intends to pursue him into the woods, but first calls Betty, who’s still at the Town Hall, to give her the rundown: wounded animal, operating on instincts, Cheryl should really narrate a Nat Geo special, etc. Once he follows her outside, Cheryl re-appears in a Little Red Riding Hood cape and starts shooting her archery arrows at the BH, warning that she “only misses when she means to.” She hits him in the shoulder and he runs off. She runs up to her room as the Black Hood chases her, but she’s out the window before he can actually bust through the door with his scary axe.
