"As seen in viral Instagram videos, the interviewer asked about the Wicked sequel's ambiguous ending, and Grande was ready to make her case, warning, "Oh, I'm gonna ruin that for you." She confirmed that Glinda doesn't know Elphaba is alive, even though it seems like they reconnect through magic in the final scene of the film. "She can't. Well, they don't see each other," she said. "You see us, but we don't see each other. She's far as hell.""
""No, no. It's better for everyone," she said. "Really, it's the best case scenario. [Elphaba] got what she wanted. She has love, she has freedom. Glinda has what she has wanted, which is power in a good way. She has learned what her actual purpose is. She doesn't have to pretend to be magical anymore because she has earned magic, which is truly what her heart's desire was the whole time.""
Glinda does not know Elphaba is alive; they do not see each other in the final scene despite appearing connected onscreen. The ending presents a best-case outcome: Elphaba attains love and freedom after faking her death. Glinda attains genuine magical power and a clarified purpose, no longer needing to pretend to be magical. Glinda must process losing both her friendship with Elphaba and her relationship with Fiyero, but she experiences growth and secures her childhood dream. Elphaba and Fiyero appear poised to leave Oz together for a happily ever after.
