How and when did Ruby and Mulan end up in Oz, again, and what happened to Merida? Wasn’t she with them?
Merida made it back to Storybrooke with everyone else when Hook cast the Dark Curse. How Mulan and Ruby got to Oz wasn’t really explained.
Oh, that’s so weird/bizarre. I thought I was going crazy or couldn’t remember!
Yeah that was bothering me too. Especially given that Ruby seems to be on the hunt for her wolf pack. So…it really doesn’t make sense…. Unless…One can get to Oz by walking to it?
Sounds crazy, but technically in the book you could. Digging under it or flying over it (in a tornado) would bring you to oz. Idk.

Apparently Ruby can “sniff” her pack out across realms? I mean, my god. If the girl can do that, then how does she not have a blistering headache everyday working in a diner with its various smells?
And what would her pack be doing in Oz, of all places?? I didn’t realize this was such a poorly constructed story line.

No idea. It was designed to make sure Dorothy and Red were in the same place, but the show writers missed the obvious answer: the sliver slippers can take people to the EF. Just have Dorothy go there, meet up with Red, and then have her run away (like she did in the actual show) to Oz and be put under a sleeping curse there. Then Red can come from the EF (using a Zelena-tracking spell) to the Underworld and return to Oz with the silver shoes (like she did in the actual episode).
Sad part is, they really could have given this a good explanation. The Wicked Witch did have an army of wolves in the Oz book. In OUAT, Zelena could have captured them at some point.
Now, that doesn’t explain how Ruby got to Oz or anything, but missed potential is missed.

I didnt know that! Man, yeah that is sad.
They really should have given us some sort of an explanation for all of this.
I also wanna know how exactly Red expected it to go down if she did find her pack, because wasn’t she basically excommunicated back when she killed their leader (her mother)? Like, I get that she wants to find her pack, but really, is she just gonna rock up all, “Hey guys, long time no see, ‘sup!” Could they not have just included one line about how she hopes that they accept her when she does finally find them, considering what happened last time she was with them?
