Our four friends (and Toto too!) skip down the yellow brick road towards an intoxicatingly beautiful field of vibrant red poppies, and Tara and EmKay are floored by the folklore that may still not have a sure answer: was Glinda's snow made out of asbestos or gypsum? The mystery continues! Rabbit holes include celebrating the life of Pat Walshe (Nikko), the fascinating afterlife of the Wicked Witch's crystal ball, a subtle shout out to the original novel's Golden Cap, and even a Sopranos crossover!
