In "March of the Wooden Soldiers, Chapter Three: Stop Me if You've Heard This One, but a Man Walks into a Bar...", Jack stumbles upon mysterious men in black, while Bigby Moon works to secure aid in a tense, escalating situation. Meanwhile, Prince Charming's schemes grow more intricate, and King Cole begins to feel the weight of the looming election.
