Once upon a time, fairy tales were valuable cautionary yarns filled with dire warnings and sage advice. However, over time, the stories have become so watered down with cute woodland creatures and happy endings that they have lost their true meaning and purpose. No more! This is American McGee's Grimm, and Happily Ever After ends now!

In this episode,when a young boy wants to learn the true meaning of the word "fear," his father advises him to leave the safety of their village home and venture out into the wilderness. Along the way, the boy's quest for "fear" leads him to the hanging gallows, a haunted house, and even a wedding. However, he doesn't truly encounter fear until Grimm decides to enter the story.
