Once Upon A Time: Surrender Dorothy
So the past week saw the introduction of Dorothy, and the end of Zelena . . . at least so we think. In Oz past, Glinda invited Zelena to join her at the witches council, where a seat for the West had been empty for a long time. It had been foretold that a great sorceress would come to Oz brought by cyclone and fill the empty seat. Zelena thought she was too wicked, but Glinda convinced her she could change. When Zelena decided to embrace the future and let go of her past and anger, she lost her green skin. Glinda then gave her a broach, the emerald she now wears, saying it would make her power even greater. However the price was that she was powerless without it.
Soon Dorothy came to Oz, brought by cyclone, and the other witches fawned over her. Zelena grew jealous again, her green returned, and she learned of another prophecy that a second sorceress would unseat the former, who was to be the greatest evil in all of Oz. Glinda tried to tell her they make their own futures, but Zelena wouldn’t listen. She tricked Dorothy into melting her, which would have broken all her spells, including bewitching the Wizard and turning him into a monkey. Only she wasn’t dead, and she pretended to be the “man behind the curtain” in order to send Dorothy back to Kansas so she wouldn’t usurp her power.
Back in Storybrooke, Zelena forced Emma to give mouth-to-mouth to a drowned Hook in order to have her powers removed. I don’t know, that seems a bit like cheating to me. That’s not really a kiss . . . Whatever, without her powers there was nobody with light magic to beat Zelena. She took Snow and Charming’s son and prepared to cast her spell. Meanwhile everyone convinced Regina that she had to harness the power of goodness to fight Zelena. She didn’t think she could, but Henry felt she did have good inside her and she could be a hero. Indeed Regina was able to conjure up light magic and strip Zelena of her pendant and thus her powers. All her previous spells were broken; so magic, hearts, brains and courage returned to their owners.
As the Charmings rejoiced, Regina slyly put Zelena’s pendant in her vault. Meanwhile Gold went to see Zelena, after giving proposing to and giving Belle a copy of his dagger so she thinks she controls his mind and heart, and then he killed Zelena! Or at least he thinks he did. From Regina’s vault, green smoke came out and made it’s way to the place where Zelena had been prepared to cast her spell. It caused a vortex to another land to open . . .
So I really don’t think Zelena is dead, and it looks like she may have been able to cast her spell still. That’s not good! I do have an issue with her losing all her powers when losing the amulet, as she was a witch before it. Also it seems like this season stripping witches powers is so easy to do. Why did nobody ever do that to Regina a long time ago?
I also wonder where Dorothy really is. Did Zelena, posing as the Wizard, really send her back to Kansas? Or is she somewhere else, and will we see her again?
