Besides the fact that I’m not sure I trust Glinda (Sneaky Fairy, meet Sneaky Witch) I’m not sure what their relationship was based on this episode. Were Glinda and Oz rivals, were they frenemies. Because it seems like if Glinda felt Oz was such a threat, she would have found a way to take care of him herself but she waited until Zelena showed up and applauded her to turning him into a monkey.
I’m not implying a romantic relationship. I don’t think they had that at all but I feel like there could have been a power rivalry going on, similar to what happened between Regina and Rumple in first season. Because Glinda seemed all to excited to take over control of Oz with her witch sisters.
[adrotate group="5"]The weird thing is Glinda knew he was a fraud. She knew he had no power… So why ddnt she stop his lies before? Why take Dorothy to him? If she is supposed to be a protector of Oz, why does she let the entire land be duped a powerless conman when she could have easily eliminated him or exposed him or just not let him have taken over at all? Glinda is the oz version of Blue Fairy

I might be in the extreme minority on this, but I’d like to see that rivalry re-examined.

you’re not. I thought it would be a fascinating storyline.

It was “because of all the wonderful things he does”. 🙂 Walsh apparently had a lot of magical items and was seeking more, like from Rumple. He may have been a fraud but he must have learned how to find magical, useful items. Maybe those items were beyond Glinda’s powers or were foriegn to her, like from other worlds. Maybe it was because Walsh came from our world so he might have known how to send Dorothy back to Kansas, which he did by giving the slippers to Dorothy. Funny how Walsh was able to get the shoes back from Zelena. Makes you wonder who the original owner of the silver shoes were.

When did Walsh get the slippers back?
Actually, Glinda’s behavior isn’t that far out of line from her behavior in the actual books. In one of my favorite scenes from book two, the Scarecrow comes to Glinda complaining because his throne has been taken by an uprising of General Jinjur and her army of girls with knitting needles. (Crafters will rule the world!)
Glinda replies that if Jinjur has declared herself Empress, she has no right to oppose her. After all, the Scarecrow never had a right to rule. He received his power from the Wizard, who arrived and took the throne just after the death of Oz’s last legitimate King and the disappearance of the infant princess. I don’t know how much trouble Glinda went to looking for Ozma (to be fair, she was REALLY well hidden), but without the rightful ruling family in power, she didn’t seem to care much who was in charge. Maybe she thought some stability was better than nothing?
