Smething I just noticed. If you tell Crane that Lily used drugs, he will get nervous and say something about diseases. Snow mentions that's the least of her problems right now, and everyone stairs awquardly at eachother for a few seconds. That makes sense now. Haha he was afraid he caught something lol And I was just replaying the episode and said "she was using a cheap glamour." Crane said something like "oh yes..." with a worried look and there was a long awkward pause.

Okaaay, after managing to download the game again just because Telltale screwed up the Mac downloads, I did two playthroughs of my canon save.
Running thoughts-
I really like what they did with the cold opening of Bigby seeing Snow's head and suddenly switching him to being questioned. Was a welcome sight to play this game again after nearly four months.
I actually sympathize with Ichabod on missing Snow. Thanked him for bailing me out out of the station. In hindsight, he's never been that bad of a guy. Loved how Bigby slammed the car door so hard that it cracked.
I couldn't wait to do this interrogation scene with Woody. Granted, I never came into the episode expecting that I'd rough him up during the interrogation. It stayed that way. In fact, I loosened his straps and gave him whiskey just to get him to talk. I loved the casting of Dave for Bluebeard. Too bad I grabbed him and slammed him into the wall to stop him.
...And in walks Snow. During the moment, I thought that she had been revived so soon because she's a popular Fable, but it turned out that Snow never 'died'. Loved her being critical and a little judgmental towards Bigby. Yes. Unlike episode one, this is the Snow I remember from the comics.
Questioning TJ was interesting. Previously, I had grabbed Toad because I never got around to one of his lies. TJ felt terrified of me, especially during the moments when I tried to sympathize and comfort him. Made me feel like a dick. I let him go early and told him he did a good job. Hopefully he'll remember this in later episodes.
Investigating Lily's body. My excitement grew when I picked up that small deer container and realized that it might be like an old Telltale puzzle. Unfortunately, the puzzle was just a simple matter of clicking. After, I agreed with Crane and told Snow that she should lay low.
Meeting Jack at the Trip Trap was fun. Just to stay faithful to the comic Bigby for this one scenario, I threw him out of the bar. I gave Holly the news about Lily very gently, and promised her she would eventually get the body. I look forward to seeing Gren and Holly. Seeing as how I didn't rip Gren's arm off, it wouldn't be a stretch to say they might become potential allies.
The scene at the Pudding n Pie was my favorite. Georgie was my prime suspect, and although it seemed like he wasn't the killer, I grew tired of his attitude and grew a little pissed after he questioned my investigative methods. Probably the first time in the game, I played as a dick. Picking up the cricket bat, I destroyed his stereo, the cigarette machine, the TV, toppled the keg over, hit him once, and broke the neon sign before I decided to call it quits.
...Damn. Didn't have money to give to Narissa, seeing as how I gave mine to Faith. I'm quite surprised as to how far they're carrying the money choices.
Moving right along, Beauty has a night shift working in a run-down hotel. That dismissed all the speculation about her being a prostitute. Went into 204 before checking out 207. Beast comes in and screws me over, as I lied to him in the elevator in episode one. Nevertheless, I stop the fight.
Was really shocked in seeing how the episode ended. Never expected Ichabod to be on the same caliber as the killer. Reading the comics, however, I wasn't surprised that he lusted towards Snow.
Overall impressions:
-This episode was good! Was it worth nearly a four month wait? Hell no. I continue to like the writing in TWAU series, but this episode felt really linear. I couldn't help but feel like my choices didn't really matter towards influencing where I went. In episode one, you not only had a choice of choosing where you wanted to go, but when. I didn't have drastic choices like that in this episode. On the other hand, I really like how comic characters like Jack and Bluebeard are trickling into the game. Also, Snow's development in this episode really reminded me of her in the comics. This was a plus. I will agree with some of you that Telltale might've shifted along the story during the four months a little bit. If it was better or for worst, I can't say. The couple action scenes in the episode were lackluster. One happens as a result of your choices (fighting with Bluebeard) while the other action scene felt very forced (Beast's fight). I really like the development of the characters during this episode. Overall, I liked the first episode of TWAU much better though. Looking forward to the rest of the episodes. 7.8/10

I have a feeling that's not actually Crane, probably someone posing as him so their own identity is kept secret.

Or maybe it WAS Crane who was sleeping with a Snow-glamoured Lily, but someone else who actually killed her? That's my guess at this point.

It's been established in the comics that Crane is a creep and a pervert. He actually got kicked out of Fabletown for spying on other Fables and making "sexual advances" on Snow. Though it never says anything about murder or any other crimes. I think Crane was sleeping with Lily but someone is making it look like he murdered that girl and the others...

I gringed when I saw that. I was like "Oh god Kenny- Beast, no!"
I didn't punch him when he was down.

Since the magic mirror is a fable, I'm guessing its possible for him to be repaired and back to normal, right?

So this does fit in with the comics. Maybe this will show how he got kicked out.

I just learned from the comics that Magic Mirror will be fine, because even if he gets broken, empty magic lamp or no, he always manages to put himself back together. But how long? Well, hopefully not too long to the point where we need it most.
