Prisoners of the Nomes, Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and Toto are put to work sorting and recycling King Roquat's birthday presents (he gets so many he can't really use them all). A month later, their plans for escape are nearly completed, but General Guph calls their bluff and appoints them the entertainment for the King's forthcoming next birthday party. Meanwhile, in the Emerald City, West is dealing with the aftermath of her final battle with her aunt Langwidere. It seems West has developed nonelemental magic powers, which shouldn't be possible. West is having difficulties controlling them, as they only come out when she is angry or asleep. Her mother tries to convince West to not tell anyone about them, but West tells a doctor, who in turns tells the Nomes! Ojo figures out something's wrong with West and goes to Glinda for help. After a Nome tries to kidnap West, her mother realizes that she can't help her by herself, and so puts West in Glinda's charge for training.
Not a lot actually happens in this episode, but it's definitely setting stuff up to further the story down the road. A few touches from the books include a bun from Bunbury, a fork from Utensia, and a Hammerhead all showing up in a commercial, the doctor's degree from Evoldo University, and Cyra's pet name for her daughter, West: Mifket.
