Local tribal chieftain Ojo puts her trough torture-questioning, but ends up giving her a tour of the horror land with infernal prison and instructions to seek the wizard.

The wizard welcomes to the feast of the Beast the king of Ev, whom he needs to produce weapons urgently before the beast returns. However the king is senile, leaving the actual power to his daughter, princess Ev, who blindly prefers vengeance on the city of Oz because when the wizard saved it, he left the beast devastating the realm around by flood, also killing her mother. In her retinue is a sulking Jack, who isn't resigned to be presented as her 'possession', but even more bitter towards Tip, whom he can't forgive for abandoning him without even verifying his assumed death. Dorothy is tortured by the crazy witch of the West, assisted by Tip and 'her predecessor', a double-crossing game of deceit, ending with Dorothy escaping trough the sewer after West learns the power of the gun, before Glinda arrives, whom West now mistrusts even more as presumed brain behind East's death.
