For the world, see Kansas.


Dorothy: Y-you mean this isn't Kansas?
Glinda: I'm afraid not. Welcome to Oz.

"Kansas" is the twentieth episode of Season Three of ABC's Once Upon a Time. It was written by Andrew Chambliss & Kalinda Vazquez and directed by Gwyneth Horder-Payton. It is the sixty-fourth episode of the series overall, and premiered on May 4, 2014.

Synopsis

With Mary Margaret in labor and due to give birth at any moment, the residents of Storybrooke go on high alert in an attempt to ensure that Zelena doesn't try to steal her newborn baby for use in her ultimate game plan to turn back time and change her destiny—while obliterating Regina's existence. Meanwhile, in the land of Oz of the past, Glinda tries to convince Zelena to fight her evil tendencies and join her and her sister witches as a protector of Oz. But the appearance of a young girl from Kansas could turn out to be her undoing.[2]

Production Notes

  • When Mr. Gold is about to stab Zelena with the dagger, as he begins to say, "Rumplestiltskin never breaks a deal", you can see Zelena smile slightly; a subtle clue that everything is not what it seems.
  • Christopher Gorham is credited as a guest star and his voice is heard in the episode but his name is missing from the press release.[2]

Props Notes

  • The design on Zelena's compass[8] is the same as the witches' table[9] in Oz except that the colors are different. The back on the chairs around the table[10] and the illustration on the cover of the Book of Records have the same design.[11]
  • When Henry is looking at apartments, one of the classified ads says:


Apartment for rent
Two bedroom, two bath,
clocktower views, was a
master woodworker in the
Enchanted Forest so all
cabinets are custom.[12]


SIGN, EMBROIDERY
SCREENING and
Sporting Goods
business for sale in
Storybrooke, owners are

obo, can be seen on the
web, call Jim at 555-0131.[12]


  • Alchemical signs for the four elements[18] are carved into the witches' table[9] and the stone pillars.[19] Each element represent one of the four witches:
    • Air, upward-pointing triangle, bisected by an horizontal line (🜁): The Witch of the North
    • Earth, downward-pointing triangle, bisected by a horizontal line (🜃): The Witch of the East
    • Fire, upward-pointing triangle (🜂): The Good Witch of the South
    • Water, downward-pointing triangle (🜄): Fittingly enough, the Wicked Witch of the West, and the seat that Dorothy Gale was offered.
      • The element of fire is associated with the south, and water is related to the west.[20] Curiously, earth is connected to the north, and air is the element of the east[20] — the exact opposite of what the two other witches represent. It is not known whether this was a mistake on the show-creators' part.
  • The Storybrooke wishing well[21] doubles as the well in Oz.[22] The roof over the wishing well was removed and a different supporting structure for the pulley was added for the episode, while protruding stone carvings were added to the bottom of the well.
  • Belle's red handbag[23] is a Mini Perry Tote from Rebecca Minkoff[24] (no longer available). Belle also has it in the next episode, "Snow Drifts".[25]
