For all of you who have read Wicked: (dont click unless you havent read it. a) it wont make sense; b) there are spoilers.
How the hell does Elphaba all of a sudden end up in the Vinkus with a boy? With the maunts or whatever. Weird, I'm thinking something happened on Lurlinemas Eve and she went into a coma of some sort because it says she went to a hospial for the "incurables." Hmm Chad told me about how she had her son when she was in a coma. I'm thinking it's him. HMM! I can't find any Sparknotes. Oh, and reading through a bunch of reviews of the book to figure this out, and I stubble across the ending of the book: how Dorothy accidentally kills Elphie. SHIT!
***edit. yes, the boy is her son***
