"While Wicked: Part I saw Boq pine for Glinda (then-Galinda) when they were students at Shiz University, those tender feelings are wiped out by the time he becomes the Tin Man in For Good. He suffers greatly at the hands of Nessarose (Marissa Bode). Not only does she keep him as her servant, she goes on to botch a spell meant to make him fall in love with her, which causes Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) to transform him into metal to save him."
"Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Chu confirmed that Glinda did indeed recognize her old schoolmate. "I don't necessarily like to say exactly what it is... but yeah, in my mind, she knows it's Boq," he said. "I think she recognizes, she sees it in his eyes." Chu further explained that the moment shows the changes in Oz hitting home for her. "I think there's also something she knows inherently and it makes her ask herself, 'What has become of this world that I knew?'" he said."
Boq pined for Glinda at Shiz University, but those feelings vanish after his transformation into the Tin Man in For Good. Nessarose cruelly keeps him as a servant and botches a love spell, prompting Elphaba to turn him into metal to save him. Glinda encounters Tin Boq, instigates a mob, and sings that he will be heartless toward Elphaba. Boq looks up at Glinda with a chilling expression that many viewers described as terrifying. Jon M. Chu confirmed that Glinda recognizes Boq and that the moment forces her to confront what Oz has become.
