Emerald City S01E10 Recap: No Place Like Home

A man gets new skin.

In the Emerald City, war preparations continue. Eamonn sees the witches approach. He orders that the kingdom be protected at all costs, even if they have no weapons against magic. The monkeys take flight, spelling Ozma in their wake. A door bursts open. Ozma and her witches have arrived. West is by her side. Ozma doesn't like that the people are afraid of her. West asks where the Wizard is. The guard doesn't know, and West beings to kill him. Ozma orders her to leave him, using her title to halt West's hand. Once released the guard goes to kill Ozma, and West kills him first. She warns Ozma to figure out her rule and quickly.

The Wizard make plans in his camp to win his war. Enclosed in chambered tent, Dorothy awaits. He realizes that it was Dorothy who wielded power, not him. She was the one who got to Nahara to help, to raise the giant. He realizes that Dorothy did no do what he asked her to do. She said that she would stop a war, not kill Glinda. The Wizard shows Dorothy his plan. He's going to gun down the girls. Dorothy is horrified, the witches are just doing as Glinda tells them.

The Lion, Eamonn, approaches Ozma. She cowers in fear, but he lays down his sword at her feet. She unmasks him, and faces the man who killed her parents. She asks why, and he admits it was to save himself. He let her live because he has a daughter her own age, and couldn't kill her. West tells her that he made his choice, that she should make hers. Ozma calls for his family to be brought forth. Eamonn's family is brought to Ozma, while Eamonn begs for their lives. Ozma doesn't kill them, she makes them forget him. He took away her family, and so she took away his. She strips him of everything, and curses him to be the beast. The witches hiss at him, and the people look at him with distaste as he leaves Oz. West admits that when Ozma's father died, she thought justice died with him. She gives Ozma her crown, and calls her queen. Ozma places her crown on her head, and all the Emerald City bow before her.

In the Wizard's camp they practice their shooting skills. Jack comes to kill the Wizard. He takes out the Wizard's men, and has the Wizard in hand. He begs for his life, he wasn't the one who killed Lady Ev. The Wizard tells Jack and Jane that Jane's daughter is near. Dorothy is here. Jane finds Dorothy in the field, but before they can have a reunion, the witches arrive. They bees to swarm the camp, engulfing Dorothy until she lashes out with the gauntlets, freezing them all in place. Glinda appears in the center with Dorothy, noting that she's still there. Dorothy tells her that there doesn't have to be war. Glinda thinks otherwise since he awoken the stone giant. She admits that she woke him. She wants Glinda to return to the North, and take her girls. Glinda brings forth Sylvie. Dorothy loved her and saved her even though she knew what she was. Sylvie begins to shake, to kill the giant. Dorothy uses her own power, to try to save the giant as Glinda mocks her. Dorothy uses the Giant to knock back Glinda's power, exposing all of the witches in the meadow. The task is too great for Sylvie. The Wizard kills Sylvie, and the war starts. Witches are shot dead. Glinda blames it all on Dorothy. She chose the wrong side. Dorothy fights her way over to the Wizard, threatening him to end it all. The girls begin to rise again. None of them were killed by the bullets. Only a witch can kill a witch, Glinda tells him. They are not the Beast Forever.

That Beast has risen, doned his skin. He screams out as wings spring from his back.

Glinda leads her girls into the city. She's not so happy to see West already in the throne room. West tells her that there is no fight left in Emerald City. Glinda brought the witches back from extinction, and shes come to get what is hers. West asks her if she remembers the King she served, she does. West presents her with Ozma.

Dorothy brings the Wizard inside, she wants him to help her get inside.

West wants Glinda to help guide Ozma, but Glinda doesn't want that. West fears that Glinda will divide Oz, as the Wizard did. She pleas with her sister to take her hands to do the right thing.

The beast takes flight over a broken tin man.

The Wizard and Dorothy climb the stairs. She doesn't want to go home, she wants to send him home. He pretends to know what he's doing, but the Wizard doesn't want to go back. He had nothing in the other world, his life left no mark. He tries to get Dorothy to see that her life had no meaning back in Oz. The Wizard has a complete breakdown as he tells her that her mother isn't back in Kansas. He tries to break his machine, and Jane shoots him. Dorothy wants to know why Jane interfered. She admits that she gave Dorothy to Karen, and it was a mistake. Jane tattooed Dorothy when she was a child, and she knows Dorothy has questions, but there's no time. Jane made a promise to protect Dorothy, and that meant sending her away.

The Beast flies over the lion.

Jane gets the machine up and running. She made the machine before the Wizard took it from her.

The Beast flies over the Scarecrow.

Jane tells Dorothy to get into the machine made vortex, that they have to go. Jane promises to be behind Dorothy. She closes the door as Dorothy screams for her mother. She's protecting Dorothy as she always has and she will until the day she dies. The tornado spins wildly.

The beast passes over Glinda, Ozma and West.

Dorothy wakes up ruins. Shes back home. She heads down into the storm shelter and finds Karen bleeding. She covers her and waits as sirens approach.


Dorothy looks out the window as she picks at her bland lunch. She looks at the scarecrow in the field, and she has to get moving. She says shes going to check on Karen. Aunt Em stops her, tells her to sit. She needs to take care of herself. The sheriff wants her to make a statement. She claims to not remember much. She went to get help for Karen, and she got swept up, and ended up in almost the same place as she left. She was only gone for ten minutes. Dorothy notices her aunt's fingers are black, Em claims its from the walnuts. Dorothy takes a walk, and she sees Toto. She approaches her dog with hesitation, since she left him in Oz. She pets him, and finds Lucas behind her. Dorothy keeps telling herself its just a dream, but Lucas insists that he's not there to hurt her. Her mother sent him. She asks where Jane is, and he breaks the news that her mother is a prisoner of the Beast Forever. He's come to bring her home.

Emerald City S01E05 Recap: Everybody Lies

Dorothy wakes riding a horse, with a bag on her head. Shes brought through the city, to West. West looks her over, wondering if shes a good witch or a bad one.

Lady Ev arrives with her father and tin man with much fanfare. She notes that the Wizard wants sometihng. Her father takes a notice of Jack. He's indentured to her for the price of his metal.

The Wizard's guard, Eamonn returns home with Liam, and the girl. His daughter is surprised to see him, and Liam is suspicious. Eamonn knew him once. He was once a great soldier. All Liam knows is that he was found in limbo, and left for dead. Eamonn is sure that he did not betray the other soldiers. He urges Liam to stay put while he looks into things, and then he falls over from his wounds.

Ojo tells West that Dorothy is the one that killed her sister, and he wants what she promised him. He wants his wife free. West tells him that her magic can do many things, and she will return him his wife tomorrow. She sends him away. West tells Dorothy that it really doesn't matter if shes a good or bad witch. West thinks Dorothy is lying when she says that she isn't a witch. She tells West to look into her bag. West finds the gun, holding it on Dorothy. West isn't easily loved, and Dorothy murdered the only person able to love her. She pullst he trigger, but lucky for Dorothy, West had dropped the magazine, and theres not a bullet in the gun. Feeling lied to, West cold cocks Dorothy.

The Wizard proposes a toast to August, but really to himself. He pats himself on the back for his vanquishing of the Beast. He needs the Kingdom of Evs help to build weapons and kill the beast. Lady Ev asks about expert council surrounding the Wizard. Anna tells her account of the signs, but Elizabeth is clearly against her. Lady Ev toys with their emotions, goading them all.

West contacts her sister, and tells her that she has their sister's killer. Glinda wants her to wait, but West is a bit impulsive. West yells at Tipp, and Tipp gives West a little bit of insight, which West appreciates. She upgrades Tipp's status, and tells another girl Miranda to take over her former duties.

Miranda heads to check on Dorothy, who is trying to get free. Miranda doesn't try to hide the sewer entrance, but she does drive the glass Dorothy was attempting to reach into her foot.

Liam is surprised by the little girl. She tells him that Dorothy is near. He asks how she knows, she knows by her heart.

West pays Dorothy a little visit. When Dorothy rises to attack her, West uses her powers to restrain her. West wants answers before Glinda arrives. She wants to know what her sister was planning on coming to tell her before she died. Dorothy doesn't know. West asks about K. Chapman, but Dorothy doesn't know much about her either. She was her mother, and that is all she knows. West is surprised she knows nothing about her mother. Her own mother birthed all the witches of Oz, and still she knew her. She muses how awful she must be for her mother to throw her away. When Dorothy falls to the ground, the gauntlets appear. West tries to take her sister's gauntlet, but they react against her.

The Wizard asks if he can count on August to assist him. August wants his dog back. He died, maybe last year, and he wants him back. The Wizard heads straight to Lady Ev. He asks how long shes been ruling. She doesn't remember when the beast last came. The Wizard saved Oz, but he left her kingdom to drown, her mother to die. She wants nothing more than to see Emerald City and the Wizard himself destroyed. When the beast returns all her dreams will come true.

Dorothy tries to escape with no luck. Dorothy pleas with Tipp for help. Tipp tells her that she doesn't recognize her. Dorothy helped Tipp when she had nothing to gain from it. Tipp isn't grateful, she blames Dorothy for what happened. She does what she wishes Dorothy had done and walks away.

Liam and Sylvie go walking though the city, in search of Dorothy.

Its not too long before Dorothy gets company, someones she least expects, her mother. Dorothy is a smart girl, and surely, she sees right through West's disguise. Dorothy wants to believe her mother. She tells her that if she just tells West what she knows about her sister's death then she'll let them both go. She shares her memories with her “mother.” Once satisfied, West slaps her and leaves.

Lady Ev orders Jack about. Jack doesn't want to play with his crazy masked mistress anymore. He wants to know what she wants of him. She wants a friend, but she doesn't know how to be one. He puts it in simple terms, by earning it. She wonders if a festival could be the start of their friendship.

Eamonn goes tot he Wizard with his story of Dorothy felling him. He's unsure of the magic she used on him. The Wizard looks at the bullet that was removed from Eamonn's body.

Tipp changed her mind about helping Dorothy. She doesn't want to be responsible for someone else's death. Miranda catches the pair as Dorothy prepares to leave. She's more than happy to turn them in to West, after she kills them.

Glinda finally arrives. She wants to know about Dorothy, and how long she's had her. Glinda claims to harbor no secrets from West. She claims that she hadn't seen East in years, which West is surprised to hear. Miranda is the only one in the room. Glinda leaves in a huff. Miranda blames it all on Tipp, but West doesn't believe her. She tosses Miranda's dead body down the sewer.

Jack tells Lady Ev that he's sorry about her father, but Lady Ev isn't. She asks if this is what it feel like to be normal, but she won't reveal why she wears masks until they're friends.

The Wizard comes to Anna gleefully. He shows her the bullet. It is something that can kill the beast forever, and really give them something to celebrate.

Dorothy makes it to the festival, where she dons a mask and disappears into the crowd.

Liam and Sylvie are finally discovered. Some Wizard guard close in on him. He draws his sword on them. One claims that they tried to get a peek into his box, and he cut down 10 until he was stopped. Sylvie runs back to him. He realizes that hes done a lot of bad things. He asks her to let him go, to do no magic and let him go.

Lady Ev reaches for Jack's hand as they continue their walk. Some hoodlums come to grab Lady Ev's mask. Jack steps in to defend her, but gets roughed up until he remembers that he's a tin man now. He takes down all her attackers, and Lady Ev looks at him differently. He wonders if shes scared of him, but shes not. She kisses him. He tells her that friends don't do that. She decides she wants to do something else.

Elizabeth shows West the day that her sister died. West has seen all she wants to see.

The Guards take Liam to Eamonn. He tells him to release him, but Liam doesn't want to be released. He commited the crime, and he wants to pay for it.

Ojo comes for his wife, he wants what West promised him. She has not intentions of making good on her promise. Everyone lies.

Toto finds Sylvie.


Dorothy slips into the Wizard's palace. Gun drawn she looks around the Wizard's room, and finds things are not what they seem. Pink Floyd plays on the walkman. Dorothy realizes that they are from the same world, and the Wizard reveals that he knows her.
