Greetings from Underbrooke (5th Book of Heroes and Villains Quintet)

Chp 19: Wish You Were Here

In the Wish Realm, After they miss the opportunity to return back to Storybrooke, Renee, Syrina and Zelena are forced to hand over their jewelry to Grayson, whom Zelena believes is real although Renee and Syrina says otherwise. When they hear horses coming, Grayson puffs away in but Renee, Syrina and Zelena are now hiding from the Light One Grace, who believes Zelena is still the Wicked Witch. Afterwards, Syrina and Renee comes across the Evil Queen and after explaining that they're from another realm they come up with a plan to find a bean or something so they can return home since the Ruby Slippers just had enough magic for one last location. Zelena, on the other hand, decided to find out about the Wish realm Grayson, and tracked him down to Emerald City in Oz. While there, she asked Grayson if he would've been better off if she had never pursued him, only to have their conversation interrupted by Capt. Hook, and are placed in jail on the Jolly Roger. Zelena discovers that Grayson has always kept his courage and never became the cowardly Lion, in this realm, Grayson is a wanted Sorcerer as he does worst things instead of using his powers for good. Suddenly the Wish realm Hades arrived and frees them, Zelena finds herself at Hades' custody because in this realm she had killed Nyx. Zelena tells Grayson that where she came from the real Grayson was murdered. Grayson agreed to help Zelena return and they do. Meanwhile, Renee, Syrina and Regina start working on the ingredients needed to create the portal, when they come across a Wish realm version of Liam, except this one is elderly and a alcoholic. As Renee uses her magic to send him back to his cottage, Liam accidentally breaks one of Regina's potions. After Regina contacts Zelena with the magic mirror, Zelena and Grayson gets Regina's message and they retrieve the Wish realm version of the Ruby Slippers and head back to the Enchanted Forest. Renee, Syrina and Zelena are ready, with the latter bringing Grayson with her. Zelena believed that the real Grayson's spirit still lives on in this Grayson. The foursome hold hands as Zelena taps the Ruby Slippers three times and returned to Storybrooke.

In Storybrooke, At the vault, The Wicked Witch and Regina entered the place despite the protection spell placed on it. Hoping that it will make Zelena suffer, The Wicked Witch tells Regina that "She can never escape who she really is." She then takes a box that will be useful in her plans. Later on the following day, The Wicked Witch congratulated Regina on not letting Zelena know about her arrival in Storybrooke despite Regina's mixed feelings. As the foursome returned to Storybrooke, Zelena shows the Wish Grayson around the town. Speaking of Zelena, she visits Roni's the next day and helps the residents welcome the newcomers, when suddenly a person who is revealed to be Oscar shows up to give Grace a letter to hand to Dorothy and Edward. When Zelena recognized who they were taking about, she tells Dorothy and Edward that she hired him to finish the job of killing them back in Oz. When they visit his room, they discovered an arsenal of weapons ready to use. At the wreckage in the forest, as she kept Wish Grayson at the Mayor's house, Zelena confronted Oscar to call it off but he refuses, then pulls his sword to strike at Zelena, only to have Zelena use magic to stop it and he disappeared. At the same time Renee attempted to get Dorothy and Edward out of Storybrooke only to discover that someone placed a barrier on the city limits. When Zelena discovers this, she asked Regina about it but tells her sister she had nothing to do with it. When Zelena, Grace and Syrina return to the wreckage, they encountered Angie's body and discovered that she was poisoned. The three are then confronted by the Wicked Witch, who weakened Zelena's powers and revealed that she is controlling Oscar by using his heart to kill the Gales. At the docks, Oscar shows up to fight Dorothy and Edward, and knocked them out after he tells them that the Wicked Witch was alive. Just as he about finish them, Zelena stops him and challenges Oscar to a sword fight. Zelena is still weakened and Grace's phone is blocked by a spell after she gets the upper hand, when Oscar throws the sword at Zelena, Wish Grayson appears and freezes Oscar with a sword in mid-air, than rips Oscar's heart and crushes it, killing him. Suddenly the Wicked Witch arrived to warn everyone that they all have untold stories and it's about to be played out and Zelena will be the undoing. Later that night, everyone gathers at Roni's to come with a strategy to stop the threat. Renée is at a romantic dinner with Liam and reveals that she's pregnant and Liam was delighted to hear the good news and says that it's their second chance to be parents and raise a child together. At the Pawnshop, the new owner, Facilier, on the other hand, is confronted by the Wicked Witch, who agrees not to harm Liam in order to get what she wants, but tells Facilier that he will always be a villain. Facilier then gives the hammer of Hephaestus, to the Wicked Witch, who has something in mind for it.

Flashback: In 19th Century Italy, Oscar Dantès, also known as the Count of Monte Cristo, is hosting a ceremony at his palace. He then walks over to the person who locked him up ten years earlier, the Baron, and he kills him for revenge. Everyone flees except for the Wicked Witch, who offers the Count a list of every person who has ever wronged him or his fiancée, for the sake of revenge, and in return she asks for help with revenge of her own. Later on in Oz, Dorothy and Edward come across a ramsacked village with Dorothy Gale's handmaiden Angie and Tommy one of the munchkins. Here they encounter Oscar, who is pretending to be a lone survivor. He is in reality working with the Wicked Witch of the West, who wants him to poison Dorothy and Edward. Unfortunately, Facilier shows up and warns the Wicked Witch that he placed a protection spell on the Gales, but Zelena also placed a protection spell on Oscar so he won't be killed by Facilier. At the palace of the South, Oscar reluctantly goes through with the plan, but soon feels guilty when Dorothy's handmaiden Angie joins them, prompting Oscar to back out of the plan to poison them. Later on, Facilier appears to talk to Oscar, who admits that Angie reminds him of his fiancée, and decides to poison her, as Facilier cannot kill Oscar. However, the poison does not kill Angie immediately. Facilier convinces Oscar to take Angie with him and go to a different realm called the Land of Untold Tales, and promises him that as long as he and Angie stay there, the poison will not kill her. Oscar accepts the offer and leaves. End of flashback
