Following the miraculous healing last week, Dorothy (Naomie Harris) leaves home to follow the Yellow Brick Road with the bold, intelligent, big-hearted Faraday (Chiwetel Ejiofor) to meet the timid Wizard (Rob Delaney) and peek behind the curtain at Oz (OriGen). The Wicked Witch (Sonya Cassidy) and the tenacious Flying Monkeys (led by Jimmi Simpson) are obstacles in their path.
An eventful episode, moving the plot forward significantly, successfully introducing some new characters and fleshing them out rapidly. Lots of nice metaphors, quotations and symbolism. My favourites are from George Bernard Shaw and the parrot, demonstrating just how far Faraday has developed socially. Some strong performances again across the board, but particularly Sonya Cassidy as the ambitious, ruthless and greedy Edie Flood.
The strongest episode so far.
