If Dorothy and Lucas had Facebook in Oz, their relationship status would be ‘It’s complicated.’
For all ofEmerald Citys shocking episode enders, tonights deserves a special shout-out.
Even knowing Lucas was sworn to serve the Good Witch of the North didnt prepare me for their reunion.

After getting the all-clear, he observes Dorothy and Silvie playing a simplified version of I Spy called Somewhere.
Seeing how close theyre becoming, Lucas warns Dorothy shell have to give up Silvie at some point.
Later, while cooking dinner, Dorothy admits hes right she doesnt want to let her go.
Lucas is all She belongs to Glinda, but Dorothy doesnt like the sound of that.
Dorothy admits the Wizards guards arent coming the Wizard let them go because he wants to help her.
If you fight for her, were not on the same side.
Lucas approaches her and tenderly puts his hand on her cheek.
Theres only one person I fight for, he says before they kiss.
How could you let Silvie love you if you knew you were leaving?
How could you let me?
(Talking about someones mama is always a cheap shot, Scarecrow.)
Would you like to come to Kansas with me?
she asks Silvie, whose eyes return to normal as she nods in agreement.
(That was quite the effective tantrum, huh?)
Lucas is on board, too, and it seems our trio is headed for a happy ending.
Until they arrive at Glindas, that is.
Once inside, Glinda appears and thanks Dorothy for returning Lucas and Silvie to her.
She then walks up to Lucas and plants a kiss right on his surprised lips.
Their next exchange is nothing short of heartbreaking:
Dorothy:Lucas?Lucas:Thats not my name.
Lucas:Im sorry, Dorothy, but they came first.
He seems unbothered when Eamonn tells him the people are scared: Good.
He plays on Wests guilt about her role in sending witches to fight (i.e.
to their deaths) against The Beast Forever and gives his word hell entrust the witches to her care.
Doesnt anyone realize the Wizards promises mean nothing?
Alas, no witches are found in the group of girls assembled so far.
When they find her, she levitates, sticks her arms out, and screams, causing an explosion.
He admits he cant control magic and claims it has to be extinguished.
Thems fightin words, for sure.
Why are you talking?
Not sure exactly what that is, but it sounds dreadful.
The water rusts Jacks new body, effectively leaving him immobile in the forest as darkness descends.
(Again, isnt Jack a little young for her?
This aspect of their relationship totally gives me the creeps.)
She reminisces about her father, explaining he was the only one to ever see the real her.
She starts taking off her mask, but Jack stops her, saying he already sees her.
The two kiss before Langwidere stands up and starts to undress.
I wonder if their morning after will be better or worse than Lucas and Dorothys?
Thats a wrap for week 7!
Were in the homestretch now, with only three episodes left untilEmerald Citys conclusion.
Were you as surprised as I was to see Lucas turn on Dorothy so quickly?
Is anyone else weirded out by the Jack/Langwidere pairing?
And am I the only one who wants to see Tip kick everyones ass?
After all, Princess Ozma is the rightful ruler of Oz in the original books.
