Meanwhile the Witch has been watching them in her giant crystal ball and she has a plan to stop them.  Mixing a potion, she casts a spell that thousands of poppies would appear in their path and put them to sleep with their narcotic odor.  The travelers now for the first time, see the beautiful Emerald City rising from the plain in front of them, but the poppies have completely grown over and obscured the Yellow Brick Road.

Running ahead, the Tin Woodsman, and the Scarecrow, not being flesh, are unaffected by the poppies, but the Lion, Toto and Dorothy fall asleep.  The Scarecrow tries to think of some way out of their predicament, while the Tin Woodsman, starts yelling and crying.  Glinda now appears in an overlay, and casts her own spell, making it snow.  The snow dampens the narcotic odor enough to cause Dorothy, Toto and the Lion to wake up, but the Tin Woodsman rusts.

Now we flash back to the Witch who is pissed off that she's been thwarted.  We see something odd here that must be explained.  At 6:55, the Monkey King is jumping up and down with something in his hand, and he hands it to the Witch, who takes it and waves it around for a few seconds around 7:01.  This thing is the Magic Hat or Helmet or Skullcap (like a bathing cap).  If the Witch wears this, she can command the Flying Monkeys but she can only do this three times.  This is explained in the book, but not in the movie.

Now we go back to the travelers and the brief song ''You're Out Of The Woods'', which all Oz fans wish had been much longer.  The Witch now flies from her castle, "To the Emerald City as fast as lightning", while the travelers come up to the gate of the city.
