As for where the monkeys were in Heart of Gold, I suppose that they were out and about, spying. That is what Zelena used them for. She did not always keep them by her side. From the sneak peek, she did not have the flying monkey at her side at the beginning, it came in (bringing a very unhappy scarecrow). We didn't see them, so we can't know for sure, but that is my guess.

And I'm excited to see what they twist with the adult version of Dorothy. How *B*A* will she be? Her entrance (in the peek) gives me a sense of hope that they will do her justice.
