Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) has officially become The Wicked Witch of the West to the people of Oz, although Glinda (Ariana Grande) and Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey) are still on her side. Elphaba continues to fight for animal rights, but The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) and Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh) continue to spread vile propaganda against her. Meanwhile, Glinda and Fiyero are engaged, while Nessarose has become governor after the death of her and Elphaba’s father.

Boq tries to leave Nessa after she becomes corrupt and he admits his love for Glinda, so she tries to use a spell from the Grimmerie that Elphaba stole, only for it to backfire and turn him into The Tin Man. Although Elphaba tries to work with Glinda and The Wizard, she sees he is nothing but a liar since he is keeping animals captive. She sets them free and ruins Glinda and Fiyero’s wedding before he helps Elphaba escape. Morrible tries to lure Elphaba to her by creating a tornado storm that kills Nessa when a house falls on top of her. From the house comes Dorothy Gale and her dog Toto, who take Nessa’s shoes and head off to the Emerald City.

Elphaba confronts Glinda for giving Nessa’s shoes to Dorothy, leading to another confrontation with Fiyero and his guards. He and Glinda help Elphaba escape, but he is taken captive as a traitor. Elphaba conjures a spell to prevent him from getting hurt, turning him into The Scarecrow. With him, Boq, and the Cowardly Lion, Dorothy is tasked by The Wizard to get Elphaba’s broom after killing her.

Knowing who the real villains are now, Glinda goes to warn Elphaba, who has captured Dorothy. Realizing she will always be running, Elphaba decides to surrender. She and Glinda reaffirm their friendship, and Elphaba frees Dorothy so she can throw a bucket of water on her and seemingly kill her.

Glinda learns that The Wizard is Elphaba’s biological father and confronts him with the truth. Filled with shame and remorse, The Wizard leaves Oz after being ordered to do so by Glinda. She also has the flying monkeys arrest Madame Morrible for her crimes, leaving her to take her place as Oz’s new ruler. Meanwhile, Fiyero goes to find Elphaba, who faked her death but is now free to live with him away from Oz. Elphaba and Glinda continue to remember each other, even though they can never see each other again.
