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 man is caught stealing a rose from an enchanted castle, the Beast who owns the castle offers to spare the man's life in exchange for possession of his daughter, Beauty. Beauty is forced to live in the castle, and as we all know, ends up falling in love with the not-so-savage Beast. But, how would the tale of the fair maiden and the monstrous Beast be told if Grimm had his way?
