a brain, a.k.a.
why she needs the scarecrow.
Before she can take what she needs, though, Dorothy shows up.

The most important thing about this scene is that TOTO IS THERE.
And since all you oughta best a wicked witch is a dog, they all manage to get away.
In Underbrooke (can we agree to call it Underbrooke now?
But if Rumple and Hades combine their powers, they can achieve anything!
Where does Hades want this portal to go?
Storybrooke, of course.
Because Zelena and her baby are there.
But Hades doesnt get what he wants because they dont come through the other side to them.
They do end up in Underbrooke, though, as Zelena realizes.
She also realizes shes injured and cant use magic, which is just adding insult to actual injury.
This poor kid… Shes going to have so many therapy appointments.
Is the devil flirting with me?
Zelena wants to know.
First order of business, hes not the devil.
Second order of business, he just wants to help her.
And since no one loves Zelena, well, she cant really compete.
But, like he told Rumple, if we join forces, ANYTHING is possible!
Zelena, unsurprisingly, rejects his offer.
But when she returns home, Hades is waiting for her.
I kind of cant argue with that horror.
Its just a level-one haunting!
I learn new things every day.
But wait, says Rumple!
We can fix that!
Things go from bad to worse when Rumple references power and Belle realizes hes still the Dark One.
Finally, Rumple is embracing his fault maturely!
Whether or not Belle will work through them with him, however, remains to be seen.
(And Im used to them turning fairytales on their heads at this point.)
I do see where the connection is, but Im going to need some time to process this.
After all, black is this years pink!
Do they deserve each other?)
(As Regina realizes, the baby represents innocence.)
Maybe shes realizing her sister was right.
Henry is just kind of writing stories without realizing where or how theyre appearing in his brain.
Its causing a lot of teenage angst.)
This particular story is a story about Snow and Charming talking to their baby and what he heard.
Snow realizes that means the haunting has worked and that she wants to get back to her whole family.
They can save themselves, and theyre going to take down Hades.
Hurrah, Team Storybrooke!
In Oz, the enchanted bike brings Zelena and Hades to Dorothy and the scarecrow.
Fed up and done wasting time, Zelena quickly takes the brain she needs, much to Dorothys horror.
But then Hades says hes not going back to the Underworld.
He thinks that they can truly be happy together.
And hell be free!
Hades gets pissed enough that he disappears, and I guess thats one way to have a fight.
In the Underworld, Zelena finally comes face-to-face with her former lover for the first time in forever.
He swears he would never hurt Zelena, and why does she think the Underworld looks like Storybrooke?
(Yes, why?
Because Ive been curious about that, too.)
Apparently its because of Zelena.
He did it all for Zelena!
He tried to give her what she always wanted, what Zelena never had because of Regina.
And Hades doesnt want to be alone anymore.
He still chooses her.
(There are no adorable Andrew LincolnLove Actuallycue cards in this exchange, though.)
