Enter Glinda, she of the white sparkly plot device. Zelena smash! Zelena is still spying on Regina with her magic floor, but it turns out that Zelena has a fan. The last time we visited the Emerald City, Zelena turned the Wizard into a flying money and gave into her jealousy, thus causing her to go full on Hulk. So when it comes to my reaction to the episode I think the best word is underwhelmed. And in present day Storybrooke, Zelena is finally taken down because jewelry is really the most powerful magic of all (diamonds are a girls best friend, don't you know). Dorothy appeared because people expected Dorothy to appear. Dorothy's story was both like and not like the original the ONCE Oz story is more about the Wicked Witch than Dorothy (which we knew going in) but Dorothy's purpose was convoluted and-dare I say it-plot devicey and unnecessary in the overall arc. How do I feel about this episode having watched it twice now? I don't know. We had Zelena's first flashback where were learned how she turned green (mood ring! Zelena) and her history with Oz, but I think everyone has been waiting for Dorothy in her little blue and white checked gingham dress to show up. This is the episode I've been waiting for: the reinterpretation of the original Oz story. Let the glorious news be spread that at last the wicked ol' witch is dead! Ding dong, the witch is dead.
