Lost in Oz, Chapter 24: The Nome King's Belt

Now that everyone knows about the Belt, both the Ozites and the Nomes are racing to find it. Glinda claims it was destroyed, and even shows a history record of the Wizard destroying the Treasury of Oz, but Roquat isn't convinced. Ojo recognizes the old Treasury as the current home of the Munchkin farm, so the gang heads out to see if they can find it—not knowing that they're being shadowed by Kaliko the whole time. West finally manages to summon a locator charm, and all the old treasures that were thought destroyed are discovered behind a false wall. But where the Belt should be is another element. West uses it to find the Belt, which is embedded under a pillar. But just as they are about to take it to Glinda, Kaliko pops out of the shadows and takes it for the Nomes. Dorothy, West, and Ojo use their flashlights to keep Kaliko out of the shadows so he con't escape, but he manages to get out of the farm and into the city. As son as he finds a shadow, he takes the Belt to Guph, who uses it to transport all the people in Emerald City to the Nome Kingdom, and the Nomes to the Emerald City.

Well, we finally get the Wizard, even if it's only a vague character in a flashback. Now that we're barreling along toward the end of the season, the stakes are really starting to ramp up, and it looks like we'll be in for some exciting times in the final two episodes.
