    Maybe if, at some point in the future, a rift develops between Henry and Emma when he learns she lied to him about his father, Ruby and Granny will help both Henry and Emma understand each others feelings and patch up their relationship. I’d like to hear Granny tell more of her story.

    I really like this idea. I would be very surprised if Henry’s not at least a little upset when he finds out Emma lied. Red and Granny are the perfect ones to help Henry see that Emma was trying to protect him.

    Was anyone else yelling ‘SHE IS BOTH!’ at the screen?

    Yes xD

    And I think she was probably her mother, although I’m not overly fond of the fact. It was all a bit too cliched for my tastes, but I get why it happened and all that. To me it would have been a much better episode though if Anita had just been the alpha of the pack, not Red’s mother. The whole thing would still have made sense, maternal figure instead of mother, and Red still would have learnt control. Anyways, it happened and since it did I’m pretty sure Granny was just lying (which I understand completely, if it kept Red away from the pack).

    I don’t think Granny was justified in keeping Red from Anita. I think what she had done was awful. The problem with Granny is that she viewed her humanity as something inherently good and her family’s wolf qualities as something inherently evil or monstrous. And because of this, Red ended up killing her mother over someone who wasn’t a member of the family and who posed a threat to the pack.

    I think Granny’s attitude makes more sense if she’s a vampire rather than a werewolf. Granny’s inability to change into a wolf would fit with that, though of course it also fits with the unmentionable werewolf metaphor. The vampires-versus-werewolves story is maybe a little overdone, but it’s definitely a story, so I wouldn’t put it past the show.
