The story
As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba must unite one last time with honesty and empathy to fulfill their shared destiny and change the fate of Oz forever.
Wicked: For Good recap
Elphaba, now called the Wicked Witch of the West, hides in a forest and fights for the Animals, while Glinda serves as the Wizard's cheerful spokeswoman and is engaged to Fiyero, now captain of the guard. Elphaba visits Nessarose, who rules Munchkinland and will not let the Munchkins leave, and enchants her shoes so she can walk. Boq tries to leave, and Nessarose's spell to make him love her shrinks his heart; Elphaba saves him by turning him into a man of tin. Elphaba frees the caged Animals, including the now speechless Dillamond, during Glinda and Fiyero's wedding, and Fiyero leaves with her. Morrible sends a tornado that drops Dorothy's house on Nessarose. Glinda gives Dorothy the shoes, and Elphaba and Glinda fight until the guards arrive and beat Fiyero, whom Elphaba saves with a spell. The Wizard sends Dorothy and her friends to kill the witch.
Wicked: For Good ending explained
Elphaba fakes her death when Dorothy throws water on her, and leaves Oz with Fiyero, who is now the Scarecrow. She first gives Glinda the Grimmerie and they say goodbye. Glinda learns that the Wizard is Elphaba's father, sends him out of Oz, has Morrible arrested and restores the Animals' rights. Fiyero finds Elphaba alive under a trapdoor, and they leave through the desert as the Grimmerie opens for Glinda.
