Synopsis

Snow puts Bigby in charge of Fabletown as she prepares to leave. He threatens Flycatcher and Jack with more community service hours if they get out of line. Jack questions why he has to do maintenance duty while Rose, who received the same sentence as he, gets to work off her hours with Snow on "vacation." To make things worse, Bigby puts Flycatcher in charge as he goes to his office while they are to strip and wax the ballroom floor. Jack asks Flycatcher why he's always doing community service.
