Dorothy to try to obtain Nessarose's shoes. Glinda arrives to

warn Elphaba of the danger she is in, and Elphaba softens when

she receives a letter from a monkey servant. Elphaba accepts

that she must surrender and the two friends embrace for the last

time before sharing a tearful goodbye. Glinda watches from the

shadows as Dorothy throws a bucket of water on Elphaba, melting

her and leaving only her hat and a bottle of Green Elixir that

had belonged to her mother.

Glinda confronts the Wizard with the elixir, which he recognizes

as his own. He was the man Elphaba's mother had an affair with,

thus he is her biological father. Glinda banishes the Wizard

from Oz and arrests Morrible. Meanwhile, Fiyero, now a Scarecrow

as the result of Elphaba's spell, arrives at Kiamo Ko Castle,

where Elphaba emerges from a trap door, having faked her death.

The couple depart Oz together, as Glinda informs everyone that

the Wicked Witch is dead before reluctantly joining Oz in

celebrating.

As the sun began to set, Timmy and Stevie found themselves back

at the edge of the Yellow Brick Road. They waved goodbye to

their new friends, their hearts filled with the magic and wisdom

of Oz.
