01x09 - The Villain That's Become

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "Emerald City"...

You are the only child of Samuel and Katherine Pastoria.

What kind of a name is Ozma?

It means "Leader of Oz."

Dorothy's not an assassin. The Wizard sent her to k*ll me.

Take her life and your heart will be free.

Stop Glinda.

But you have your giants. Use them.

Their power is locked in the Prison of the Abject.

Mistress East and I, we had a partnership.

Prison of the Abject. We can't unlock it.

A witch's spells are her own. I'm not drinking a witch's insides.

You want revenge for your parents.

You want to destroy the Wizard.

Then taste my sister's magic.

And let us take away any currency he needs to rebuild it.

No. I was just there.

I saw my family.

I felt them, how they loved me.

I watched them m*rder*d by a man wearing the mask of a lion.

I know every detail.

That was death.

Please don't become that.

What imposter do you bring before us?

He possesses the the Emerald Dagger given by his father.

None can question its authenticity.

Possessions can be lost.

Soldiers of Ev, we can fight together or we can die apart.

And the first death will be the most tragic and unnecessary death of your Queen if you don't put down your weapons.

Madame Queen?

What is your wish?

Last chance to save your life.

Let us be... an example.

My life is worth nothing unless you stand with me against this man.

Never surrender your weapons!
