This show isn't actually bad. It's not particularly good, but it's better than some of the shit I watch. It just isn't what it's supposedly meant to be. The stories and characters just have absolutely nothing to do with the fairy tales they're apparently based on. It's also kind of slow - not boring, just not a lot happens in each episode.

| This wolf is also hallucinating pigs everywhere. |
The pig-associated wolf doesn't do much this episode because he's too busy being sad about his dead girlfriend, but it's clear that he is becoming more unhinged and he ends up sneaking into the littlest pig's house and stealing the pig mask. He thinks about murdering the pig, but doesn't go through with it.
 |
| Obviously he's not thinking clearly, but what the hell is he going to do with the mask? |
The littlest pig, meanwhile, has debts to pay and wants to know when they're getting their money. So he goes to middle pig, his brother, and the two of them go to talk to the biggest pig, who tells them they'll get paid when he does and if they show up in his neighbourhood again he'll kill them.

| He's a big pig, you can be a big pig too. |
Big pig is also linked to Hansel and Gretel's story. Is he also the witch? Who even knows at this point. Anyway, Gretel still has the phone of the rich guy that Hansel accidentally killed (wait, was he the witch?) and she decides to call the number of the person who's been messaging it, and it's big pig and he wants the money that rich guy apparently had. She also has a key to a storage locker, which she decides to use, and there's the money.

| Just basking in the warm glow of all this money I stole. |
She takes the money and tries to convince Hansel that they should keep it and run, get out of the city and start new lives. He wants no part of this and goes back to his friend/boyfriend/roommate only to find him murdered. Seems that someone has tracked them down. That someone also attacks Gretel in her house but she manages to get the best of him and beats him to death. I didn't have any trouble following this while I was watching it, but now I'm getting confused trying to relate it. I think the fairy tale stuff is getting in my head and throwing me off. Or maybe it's the unexplained links between the stories.

| This guy works for big pig, I guess? |
Little Red Riding Hood's problems are still distinctly less dramatic. Her new male friend threatens to tell everyone about her and the teacher - and now I think he, the friend might be the wolf? - but then he doesn't. She and the teacher have sex again, because despite really not wanting to lose his job he also can't resist her apparently. She also seems to be getting along with her grandmother now, which is a thing. And I was just looking at the Wikipedia page for this show, and apparently LRRH and big pig have the same surname. Are they meant to be related somehow? That's weird.
