There is something about it here

Executive producers Adam Horowitz and Ed Kitsis actually had a big storyline planned for Ruby in season 2, but because Once Upon a Time introduced so many new characters this year, “The storyline [the creators] wanted to do with Ruby ended up not being able to happen because they decided to take the show in a different way,” Ory says.

Therefore, she began looking for work elsewhere, and was cast in Intelligence.
