[Luz shows a drawing depicting a manically grinning Inner Belos holding up the mask, which the words "Witch Hunter!" written beside it.

Despite the dire circumstances, Camila was quite impressed at Luz's artistic skill. Not only had she drawn a remarkably accurate picture of Belos, but she'd done it while highly traumatized. Not everyone could say they were capable of that.

There are two other pencil drawings on the table, one depicting the portal and one depicting the picture frame from Belos' mind showing past moments, Philip Wittebane, and Belos' mask.]

"Whoa," Amity said. "You're such a great artist, Luz!"

"Thanks," Luz said with a wry grin. She had burned those pictures not too long after showing them to Eda. It had been somewhat cathartic, but not nearly cathartic enough.

[Scene changes to show King and Hooty looking at Luz with a shocked expression on their faces. Eda looks down at the drawings, hand clasping over her mouth. She then looks up at Luz. Cut to Luz sitting across the table staring back at them, looking despondent. She is covered with a blanket and holding a cup of hot drink. King's toy plushies is stacked behind her.]

"I'm just so glad you had people looking after you during all this," Camila said. "Hunter, mijo, did you have people looking after you?" Hunter sighed and shook his head. "Well, you do now!"

[Cut to Eda facepalming herself.]

Eda: [Inhales deeply.] This is just a lot to take in.

Luz: We don't have time to take anything in. We have to stop Belos! I- I was a part of his plan! I-I fell for everything!

Amity promptly engulfed her girlfriend in a hug. "It's okay, batata. I got you. We all got you. It wasn't your fault." Luz just smiled at her, feeling too overwhelmed by gratitude to say anything.

[As Luz speaks, she stands up and hugs herself. She then becomes emotional and starts tearing up, almost on the verge of crying.]

Eda: King, Hooty, you know what to do.

[King and Hooty go up to hug her.]

While Camila appreciated the effort King and Hooty were going to in order to comfort Luz, the fact that Eda spoke of the efforts as if they were routine chilled her to the bone. Luz probably hadn't shown the true depths of the emotional pain she'd suffered in the Isles – nor should she, as some things should remain private. Camila just wished she'd been there for her.

Eda: Well, one thing's for sure. People can tell when you've been inside their head. It's only a matter of time before Belos sends his scouts over here. You need to hide.

Luz: I'm not hiding. I'm gonna stop Belos from completing the Draining Spell. I... just... need to figure out how.

[Lilith suddenly appears at the door way along with Owlbert.]

Lilith: Edalyn!

Hooty: Lulu!

[Hooty immediately stretches towards Lilith, accidentally tightening his body around Luz and choking her.]

"HEY!" Willow screamed. "You unhand her right now!"

Lilith: I came as fast as I could. Owlbert filled me in on the Draining Spell. Oh, Titan, I can't believe this is what the Day of Unity was about the whole time. Ugh, I was such a fool, a dolt, a chump, a-

"Naïve, weak-minded pawn," Hunter finished. "The evidence was right in front of me – uh, you! And I – I mean, you – you just ignored it! You let him lie to you! You killed for him! And now you're reaping the consequences."

"Oh, Hunter, honey, it's okay," Camila assured him. "It's in the past."

"Not enough for me," Hunter muttered.

Eda: Hey, no pity parties in this house. Besides, Luz is upset enough as it is.

[Luz turns around and stares at Lilith, teary-eyed, whimpering.]

Amity looked like she was about to burst into tears. "Luz, why didn't you call me? I could have helped!"

"I didn't want to put you in danger," Luz admitted. "You'd already put your life at risk for me at Eclipse Lake. I couldn't have you do that again!"

"That should be my decision, Luz," Amity said. "Not yours. We make these decisions together. Besides, my life was already at risk. All of our lives were."

Lilith: You're right. I'll do anything to help.

[Hooty gets really close to Lilith and squishes her face.]

Hooty: Lulu! I am so happy to see you, I could- I could...

[Something goes up from inside Hooty's stomach towards his mouth as he makes a retching sound. In the process, King gets dragged by the garbage.]

"NOT AGAIN!" Camila screamed. Just when she thought she could overlook Hooty's appalling nature and celebrate his clear care and love for Luz, he had to do something like this!

King: Weh?

Hooty: Oh, here it comes!

[Hooty proceeds to throw up some garbage and spirits he had swallowed before on the ground (and unintentionally, King).]

Luz: Ugh! Gross.

Lilith: Oh, my word!

Eda: Hooty, you gotta stop eating garbage from the ground.

"Says the woman who goes around eating voles," Hunter pointed out.

[King finds a letter addressed to him among the pile of garbage.]

King: Huh? WEH! [Emerges from the pile.] He's also been eating our mail. Look!

[King opens the envelope and takes out a letter. A piece of rock falls out from the letter into his hand.]

King: [Reading the letter.] "Dear King Clawthorne, if you wish to know who you truly are, come to this location and meet our warrior clan." [To the others.] I think they might be my family! And maybe they're an answer to all our problems!

Luz wondered what would have happened if they'd gotten the letter back when it was sent. Probably not much would have changed…unless she had come up with the idea of using King's blood for the portal. Then maybe she could have come up with a functioning portal and she wouldn't have had to be burdened by her promise. She could have made an agreement with Camila to live at home and visit the Isles on a regular basis. But what-ifs were meaningless. She'd never know. Unless maybe if Amity got high on orange juice again.

[Scene focuses on the bottom of the letter showing the map of the location.]

Luz: That's incredible! But... how is it supposed to help us stop Belos?

King: They're a clan of warriors! How else do you defeat a tyrant with their own army? By making an army of your own!

"Pretty sure even a whole clan of Kings wouldn't have been enough to stop the Emperor's Coven," Hunter pointed out.

"Well, it wasn't like you were around to give us a better idea," Luz snapped before she could stop herself. "I'm sorry, Hunter. That was out of line."

"It's okay," Hunter said, shifting uncomfortably. "I get it. I ran away like a coward."

"No, you were right," Luz said firmly. "The Owl House wasn't safe. It got raided after all this. Thank goodness we weren't here."

Lilith: Well, it's... not like we have many allies.

Luz: Not to mention it's a chance for King to find out where he came from. I say let's go for it!

Eda: [Skeptical.] Well, I say you two need a safe place to hide while the adults take care of things.

Luz scoffed. It was thanks to the adults she was in this situation in the first place! The so-called responsible adults had all gotten suckered by Belos and submitted to a tyranny that secretly sought their destruction. Eda had been the most wanted criminal in the Isles, and yet she'd never even tried to overthrow Belos. No, if there was one thing she'd learned from many years of the administration and teachers not giving a crap about her, it was that adults, for the most part, couldn't be trusted.

[Luz and Eda stare at each other angrily, then turn away from each other and make a "hmph" sound, while also crossing their arms.]

Lilith: I'm actually in favor of this plan.

"Cool Aunt Lilith," Luz said smugly. "She's the best."

Eda, King and Luz: [Surprised.] You are?

Lilith: It wouldn't hurt to check. Plus, [Stands up and walks away.] judging by King's map, you two would be taken far, far away from the Boiling Isles and Emperor Belos.

Eda: What if something goes wrong?

Lilith: Hooty could accompany them. Their safety would be your responsibility, my dear, brave Hootsifer.

[Hooty becomes touched by Lilith's words and starts tearing up.]

Hooty: I would protect these silly children with my life!

"Hey, I'm not silly!" Luz protested.

They all looked at her in disbelief. "Luz, you're one of the silliest people I know," Gus said. "That's not a bad thing, but it's definitely a thing."

[As he speaks, he stretches towards Lilith and bows before her; Lilith does a small curtsy in response.]

Eda: [Groans.] Yeah, well, how- how would they even get there?

Luz: I know a ship that might take us.

Amity let out a cheer. She got to see Luz dressed up in her sailor garb again. She looked so cute in that outfit!

King: Yeah! The ole Selkidomus crew. Think about it! Belos won't be able to withstand a whole army of mes.

Lilith: Such allies would be quite valuable.

Luz: I wonder if I still have my sailor's hat.

Hooty: Does anyone feel that marching around the edge of the forest?

Luz blinked a couple of times and then sighed. Hooty had been trying to warn them about the raid all along, but Luz was so deep into her fantasy of getting into a rematch with that siren until she admitted shipping in general and Hezura in particular was the zenith of culture to notice.

[Eda eventually relents.]

Eda: Fine. You can go. We'll find out all we can on our end to create a plan for uh... uh, when you get back.

[Luz stands up and runs towards Eda.]

Luz: Thank you, Eda! We won't let you down.

[Luz and King both hug Eda.]

King: Let's pack for the trip!

[Luz and King run off.]

[Scene cuts to somewhere on the sea during nighttime. A ship passes in front of the camera and sails off at a high speed. Cut to someone shoving some coal into the furnace on the ship, making the fire grow larger. Camera zooms out to show Salty closing the furnace door and walks away from it, wiping away his sweat. He then leans on the handrail of a staircase where King is sitting at.]

"I was on the crow's nest, listening to all this," Luz explained.

King: Doin' a lot of work there, Salty. Where's the crew?

Salty: Well, I'm no longer working for the Golden Guard. So, me mates abandoned ship for greener, snailier pastures. They were like family to me too.

"Should I be feeling guilty?" Hunter asked Camila. She shook her head. "Yeah, didn't think so, but I had to be sure."

[After hearing what Salty said, King becomes sad and looks down at a photograph he is holding, which shows a drawing from inside the building of the Uncharted Island depicting a demon of his kind fighting an unknown creature.]

Luz: Land ho!

[Luz's shouting grabs King's attention. Cut to Luz on the front of the ship using Hooty as a telescope.]

Amity sighed. She supposed it was too much to hope that Luz still had the entirety of her sailor outfit. At least she still had her hat.

Luz: Land ho!

[King approaches the duo from behind. Cut to the trio staring at a tall object in front of them.]

Hooty: Is that a finger? It's a long way from our Titan.

Salty: That's 'cause it's not from our Titan. This be part of a different beastie.

Camila arched an eyebrow. So there were many Titans that comprised the Demon Realm. How fascinating. She wondered just how much of the Demon Realm had been explored.

[Cut to Luz rowing away from the boat in a bathtub along with King and Hooty.]

Salty: [Waves.] Come back with a good story, sea squirts! If ye come back at all!

Luz: Aw, he's so supportive.

"You had to know him," Luz explained. "That was his way of supporting us. Like I said, Salty's a good sort. Salt of the earth, you might say!" She laughed and then glared at everyone when she saw no one else was laughing.

[Scene cuts to the bathtub being parked on the beach. Camera tilts up to show the trio going up a fleet of stairs.]

King: Nyeh, nyeh, nyeh!

[King arrives at the top but finds himself staring a wall. Luz and Hooty approach him from behind.]

Luz: Is anyone here?

Hooty: Maybe we're a bunch of early birds.

Hunter laughed. "Early birds! Because…because you're a bird!" He slapped his knee. "Maybe you and Terra could start a comedy act, Hooty!"

"We have to have a discussion about your sense of humor," Willow decided. "Also, Terra's gonna find it hard to start a comedy act in prison. Which is where we're gonna put her."

"Yeah, why do you never laugh at my jokes?" Luz demanded.

"Your jokes suck," Hunter explained in a kind, gentle tone of voice. "Besides, you're my sister. Even if your jokes were good, it's my duty to make fun of you."

King: Or maybe they got sick of waiting! That letter was over a month old...

Luz: Hang on.

[Luz runs up to the wall and stops.]

Luz: There's something here.

[Luz notices a hole on the wall. She takes out the rock from King's letter and inserts it into the hole. This activates some sort of mechanism and sends some energy up the wall, creating a force field strong enough to rock the surface of the sea and Salty's boat.

"I did not see that coming," Vee admitted. A part of her was wondering if it was some sort of hoax. By the looks of this powerful magic, it most certainly was not a hoax. It may have been a trap still, but it was definitely not a hoax.

Cut to the energy going all the way to the fingertip, creating a large circle which produces thunder and lightning. A blue light beam then shines through the circle and drags Luz, King and Hooty upwards.]

King: Whoa-

Luz: Ah!

King: Whoa-

Luz: Here we go!

King: Whoa!

[The trio goes through the circle. Cut to a dock at an unknown location. The trio emerges from the light beam, but they are spawned in mid-air and immediately start falling while screaming. Cut to the trio on the ground, showing that Hooty had wrapped himself around Luz and King, cushioning their fall.

"You know, he's really not as bad as I thought he was," Camila mused. "Still absolutely disgusting, but I see what you mean, Luz. He's a true and loyal friend."

"And he got us together!" Amity added and gave a kiss to Luz for emphasis.

"Would you stop that?" Hunter complained and then let out a yelp as Willow was suddenly very close to his face.

"So you're not fond of public displays of affection?" she teased. "That's a pity, because then I wouldn't be able to do…this!" She kissed him with even more fervor than Amity had just kissed Luz.

Hunter gave a dopy grin. "I suppose I could be persuaded. Perhaps with some more arguments."

"Perhaps not?" Gus suggested. "I want to see what happens next!"

The rock from King's letter falls from above and lands in front of Luz.]

Hooty: Luz, are you okay? Where's your other arm?

Luz: I only ever had two, Hooty. Did you think I had more?

[As Luz speaks, she lifts Hooty up and throws him to the ground. King jumps off and looks to his right. Luz then picks up the rock from the ground.]

King: Luz, look!

[The trio finds themselves staring at piles of bones and skeletons lying on the sea not far away from them.]

Hooty: That doesn't look like the Boiling Isles to me.

Unknown: That's because it isn't.

[The trio turns around to find a tall demon which resembles King walking towards them.]

"That's the guy who gave the letter to Hooty," Luz informed them.

Unnamed King-like demon: Welcome to the other side of the world.

[Cut to Luz and King giving the stranger a strange look. Hooty's mouth is wide open and he has a shocked expression on his face.]

Unnamed King-like demon: You dare trespass on this sacred-

[The demon notices King and gasps.]

Unnamed King-like demon: By the Huntsman, 'tis King! My name is Tarak. Hail and well-met.

King: Uh, y-yeah! 'Tis King!

Luz: Psst! King! Introduce us!

King: Right! Uh, this is Luz the human/friend/sister.

Luz let out a squeal of happiness. The severity of the situation had caused her to completely overlook King referring to her as his sister, but now she was able to appreciate it fully!

And this is Hooty, the, uh, door...?

Luz: Your warrior-ship.

[Luz and Hooty bow at Tarak.]

King: Did you send me that letter? Are... A-are you my-

Tarak: Father? Alas, no. Nor is he here.

[King becomes dejected. Tarak walks up to him.]

Tarak: But I did [Squats down.] send the letter. And by the sight of you, I know he was one of us. He passed down that handsome skull of yours, didn't he?

Luz shuddered. Tarak had meant that literally and she hadn't even known it!

[King giggles. Tarak stands up.]

Tarak: Now we celebrate! Everyone will be so happy to meet you.

Luz: Who's everyone?

[Tarak brings them over to a ledge and shows them a settlement down below.]

Tarak: Welcome to Titan Trapper Island!

"Well, this doesn't bode well," Willow said.

[King gasps and his eyes light up.]

[Cut to Tarak bringing the trio into the settlement, with plenty of other demons which look like King around.]

King: I've never seen so many demons that look like me!

[He notices some warriors training nearby.]

King: Look at them go!

Tarak: We are Titan Trappers, under oath to protect the world of giant monsters of death and destruction. But uh, not many of us have seen a live one, of course. [Laughs and clears throat.] Come!

[Cut to Tarak pushing open a double door and leading the trio into a building.]

Luz: Aren't Titans extinct?

[Luz notices something in front and gasps. Scene changes to show a large skeleton of an unknown creature standing in the middle of the building, looming above everyone. There is also a spiral staircase right in the middle of the building.]

"Oh, gosh, look!" Luz said. "They have models of the other planets in your solar system there too." She pointed at the ceiling of the room.

"Do you have other planets in your…solar system?" Gus asked eagerly. "Have you been to them?! Like your moon?"

"Well…not humans, but we did send robots to Mars," Luz responded. "They're like abominations, but machines," she added.

"Awesome!"

Tarak: Not all of them. The Grand Huntsman says one remains, so we sharpen our spears until the vile creature rears its head and a new hunt can begin!

"Not on my watch you won't!" Luz said, shaking her fist at the screen.

[Multiple King-like demons walk up and surround the trio.]

Tarak: And now, dear King... you can join us and become a Titan Trapper yourself!

King: Weh?!

[Luz and Hooty gasp. Everyone around proceed to cheer.]

Luz: Oh, my gosh. [Kneels down.] King, that's amazing! [Stands up.] Well, we don't know any Titans, but the world could definitely use your help.

King: That's right! It's a lot to explain right now, but could you- I mean, we, help the people of the Boiling Isles?

Demon 1: Any enemy of yours is an enemy of ours!

Luz sighed. She really should have known by then it was too good to be true.

[Everyone around proceed to cheer. They then whisk King away.]

Tarak: [To Luz.] But we can make no vows. For that you must beseech our elder, the wisest hunter of them all... Bill!

"Bill?" Camila said, unimpressed. "Seriously? That's it, just Bill?" Luz nodded. "Well, that's a letdown."

[Tarak gestures towards somewhere above.]

Luz: [Gasps.] Is that short for something?

Tarak: Nope. [Shrugs.] Just Bill. He's so cool, he actually met our god, the Grant Huntsman! He's my best friend. Eh, it's no big deal.

King: Luz! Luz!

[King runs up to Luz. She kneels down in front of him.]

King: Look what they gave me!

[King takes out a large hand-held object with a jaw at the top. The jaw then starts opening and closing.]

Luz: Oh! Oookay. That looks awfully pointy, buddy.

King: Don't worry. It's mostly paper mache. And bone. They're gonna show me their Titan Trapper ways, Luz! [Gasps.] I guess they're my ways, too.

Luz sighed. She totally understood where King was coming from. If she'd found a society on the Demon Realm who liked anime and the Good Witch Azura too, she'd have probably fallen for it hook, line, and sinker. But the world wasn't that convenient. A happy ending was possible, she knew that now, but she would have to work for it, not have it be handed to her.

[Luz leans forward and stares at King.]

Luz: How about Hooty and I go see the elder, and in the meantime, you learn all you can about being a Titan Trapper?

[King's eyes light up.]

King: This is a dream come true!

[As he speaks, King runs up to hug Luz. He then runs away dragging the object he was just given along the ground.]

Luz: Just be careful!

King: I will!

"Spoiler alert: He won't!" Luz informed them, surprising a grand total of no one.

Hooty: [Looks at Luz doubtfully.] Are we really leaving him alone?

Luz: He should have time to get to know his family.

[Scene cuts to some King-like demons standing around King. They are all clapping while looking down at him. King has a joyous expression on his face. Luz and Hooty stand up while looking at them.]

Luz: Besides, [Turns around and walks away.] we have a job to do.

[Scene changes to Luz and Hooty looking up at something. Cut to them and Tarak standing in front of a door.]

Tarak: [Retreats.] I shall take my leave. [Comes back.] Tell Bill I said hi.

Camila laughed. "This guy isn't really friends with Bill, is he?" Luz shook her head.

[Tarak retreats again. Luz then pushes the door open and goes inside with Hooty.]

Luz: Hello?

[Luz and Hooty look around, and Luz notices a sword in a wooden bucket nearby.]

Luz: Whoa. Look at all these stuff, Hooty! [Takes out the sword.] This will help us defeat Belos for sure.

"Pretty sure you're gonna need more than a sword to take down Belos," Hunter pointed out. It had taken a god to take him out in the end, after all.

[The blade then turns into dust, much to the duo's dismay. Luz turns around, notices a spear among the weapons displayed on the wall and gasps. She then goes up to take it.]

Luz: [Laughs.] Yeah!

[The end of the spear proceeds to spin, then becomes limp, much to Luz's dismay. Hooty gives Luz an unamused look.]

Luz: [Upset.] Hmm...

Bill: Tarak? Is that you?

[Cut to Bill sitting on his throne reading a book, titled The Last Titan: A Study of the Boiling Isles, written by Flora D'splora.]

"One day, Lilith is gonna write history books that'll outsell that hack Flora!" Luz vowed. "And I'm gonna help her! I'll illustrate them!"

Bill: I told you to stop rummaging through my stuff!

[Bill puts down his book. Luz walks up in front of him to show herself.]

Luz: Tarak's not here. It's just us. [Clears throat.] Uh, greetings. [Bows along with Hooty.] My name is-

Bill: What's that? [Pulls a horn and puts it over his ear.] Speak up! You barge in like an angry Titan only to whisper like the wind?

[Luz walks closer to him.]

Luz: Greetings! [Kneels down.] Uh, this... lowly traveler begs an audience with the great Bill.

[Luz crawls closer to the horn.]

Luz: Mayhaps we might [Puts her head into the horn, amplifying the sound.] perchance to venture to uh-

"Laying it on a little thick, aren't you?" Willow said.

"It worked for Azura when she was beseeching the help of the Archduke of Pure Shadow," Luz pointed out sulkily.

Bill: Oh, for the love of- [Pushes the horn aside.] Tarak sent you here, didn't he?

Luz: He said you were the wisest of all the Trappers. And also his friend. He says hi.

Bill: Of course he does. What do you want?

Luz: I'm here to ask if you would lend me your mighty warriors. You see, Emperor Belos has threatened to-

Bill: Ha! That upstart on the carcass Kingdom? He's no big deal. I've got battle scars older than his reign as Emperor! Wanna see?

[Bill lifts up his shirt to reveal a scar on his torso.]

Camila frowned. He didn't look at all like King underneath those clothes. Was this yet another scam? Was Bill tricking King's family into thinking he was one of them so he could be revered as their savior?

Luz: We're good. But... please understand, Mr... Bill, a lot of people are in danger and- and they don't even realize it.

Hooty: Yeah, that dude is straight up evil.

Bill: Don't worry, we'll help.

[Luz's and Hooty's face lighten up.]

Bill: But if you think Belos is evil, you've never seen a live Titan. The children out there haven't either.

[The trio looks outside the window, but Hooty notices something to his right and stretches towards that direction. Cut to the King lookalike demons cheering at him as he stands in front of a waterfall.]

Bill: Don't know a thing about their ravenous appetites, or their terrible cries! Even their babies act like little monarchs. The last living Titan, I saw it once before it disappeared. Its hateful roar blew out my eardrums. How did it go? "Weh!"

Camila's jaw was practically on the floor. "Oh my God! King is a Titan?" Everyone nodded in confirmation. She started laughing. "Oh, that's just…there's so much irony there. All this time, Belos claimed to be talking to the Titan, but the actual Titan was his enemy! Literally his enemy! Oh, that's just too funny."

"Yes, hilarious," Hunter muttered. "You're not the one who threatened to drown his god."

"Or the one who stepped on his cupcake!" Amity reminded her. "I'm sure he's a merciful god deep down…right?" Luz did a so-so gesture.

[Luz suddenly realizes something.]

Luz: So, Titans are always hungry, act like monarchs, and say "Weh"?

Bill: The Huntsman wants us to find the last one.

Vee scoffed. "More like there is no Huntsman."

"Oh, Vee, I wish you were right," Luz said sadly.

[Bill gestures to a poster next to him. Scene then focuses on the title which says "THE LOST SON OF THE BOILING ISLES".]

Bill: Only a Titan's power can free him from his prison. But we've had no luck. Nice poster, right? I- I took a printmaking class once. Eh, not sure about the font though, I- I feel like the serifs are a little too...

Willow nodded in agreement. The serifs were indeed too much.

[Bill turns away from Luz as he speaks. Hooty suddenly appears next to Luz and calls out to her.]

Hooty: Luz! Follow me!

[Luz walks away. Cut to Hooty lifting up a curtain. Camera zooms out to show a room in front of them. Scene changes to show some wall carvings and skulls which resembles King's species, and a shrine at the end of the room.]

"Oh, that is just disgusting," Camila said. "They have King's family's bones just scattered around the place!"

Hooty: Oh, hey! Thought I'd get Lulu some souvenirs.

[Hooty uses his beak to grab a snow globe from a rack next to him and shakes it. Scene focuses on the globe, which has stars and a face which looks like the Collector in it. The Collector's laughter can be heard.]

"Oh, Dios mío," Camila said, her eyes widening. "Oh, this is so very not good." This must have been how the Collector got free to kill Belos.

Luz: [Realization.] Their god is that Collector kid?

[Bill lifts up the curtain and appears next to Luz and Hooty.]

Bill: Ah! You've found the shrine to the Huntsman. It's been my little DIY project for years.

[Luz raises her eyebrows.]

Bill: [Rolls up his sleeve.] You like our disguises? [Takes off his glove to reveal a hand.] You gotta look like a Titan to trap one. [Puts on his glove back.] But if I ever find that missing Titan, I'd hunt it down, tear it limb from limb, and mount its head in pride as we release the Huntsman!

"NOT WHILE I LIVE!" Luz screamed. "I won't let anyone hurt my family!"

"Well said, Luz," Camila said proudly.

Then... we can finally go from being Titan Trappers to Titan Slayers! Say, who's your buddy's tailor? His costume looks so real!

[Luz and Hooty are completely shocked at what they've heard. Hooty opens his mouth in shock, causing the snow globe to drop to the ground and shatter into pieces. The duo then looks at each other. Cut to Luz retreating outside from the room.]

Luz: Uh... This has all been super cool, but I gotta go check on, um, things.

"That's it," Amity decided. "When we get you back, we're going to sign you up for remedial con artist lessons with Eda. You need to be able to lie under pressure better. It'll save your life one day!"

[As she speaks, she turns around and walks away from Bill while holding Hooty.]

Bill: But what about the uh... What were you talking about? Th- Th- The- Your quest. With Belos.

Luz: Oh, ha! I- I'm sure it'll work itself out. Really. Oookay, bye!

[Luz hurriedly leaves, but Hooty accidentally gets sandwiched in between the doors before getting pulled out. Cut to Luz running down a hallway.]

Luz: We gotta get King out of here now!

Hooty: Then run faster!

[Hooty stretches forward to make Luz run faster.]

Luz: I'm trying!

"Curse my weak nerd legs!" Luz said.

"Oh, I like your nerd legs, though, Luz," Amity said with a wink. Luz flushed scarlet.

"You see what I have to deal with?" Gus complained to Camila. Camila gave him a sympathetic smile, but she didn't really feel the same way. She felt it was lovely Luz finally had a wonderful girlfriend to embarrassingly flirt with. So long as they didn't act too much on it, of course.

[Cut to outside somewhere on the island. Multiple King-like demons have gathered in front of a platform. Bill, Tarak, King, and two other demons stand on the stage.

"I was watching this invisibly, waiting for the right moment to rescue him," Luz explained.

Cut to some demons banging on the ground with sticks. Cut to some demons putting a coat on King then back away.]

"Oh, no, they're gonna sacrifice him!" Vee shrieked and hid under a blanket. "I can't watch!"

King: You don't have to go all out like this. I- I'm fine doing a small thing. Family and friends kinda thing.

Tarak: Your presence is very special to us, King. Now, we can release the Grand Huntsman from his prison and be granted power and glory!

[The audience cheers.]

Tarak: In the [Ignites a torch.] ashes of your old life, your destiny awaits. Carry this torch to the tablet and set it aflame.

[King takes over the torch from Tarak, then looks to his right at the tablet. He walks up to the tablet, hesitating for a bit, then sets it on fire. Immediately after that, the Collector's laughter can be heard, as a bright flash reflects in King's eyes before fading away.]

King: D- Did you hear that?

Tarak: The connection has been made. And now we can summon him.

"No!" Vee squeaked from underneath the blanket. "Summoning him sounds bad!" Camila reached out and squeezed her daughter tightly.

Bill: Ah, you're taking too long!

[Bill rushes forward can covers King's head with a piece of cloth.]

Bill: Don't worry, child. We're almost done.

[As he speaks, he walks up behind King, then takes out a dagger and raises it above King's head.]

"He's just a kid!" Gus said indignantly. "How can they do this to him?"

King: Then we get to play catch, right?

[Cut to a view from below the platform. Bill is still holding the dagger above King's head.]

Tarak: Uh, did you pull something, Bill?

Bill: [Trembles.] I can't move! Wh- wh- whoa! Wh- wh- who- [Screams.]

[Bill is suddenly lifted up by an unseen force and thrown aside.]

"You don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind!" Luz sang. "You don't pull the mask off the old lone ranger and you don't mess around with Luz!" She put her fist in the air for emphasis.

King: Weh? Wha- what's happening?

[A light ball appears above King's head, then gives out a bright flash. After the light fades away, King is gone from the stage.]

Vee emerged from the blanket and breathed a sigh of relief.

[Cut to somewhere on the island. Luz and Hooty take a deep breath and cancel out the invisibility glyph. They then lean back on a rock, panting.]

Luz: King, [Lifts King up; his cloth falls off.] I'm so glad you're okay!

King: [Angrily.] What're you talking about? We were just about to play catch!

Hooty: [Angrily.] Hey! Luz just saved your life!

King: Nyeh! [He frees himself form Luz's grasp and jumps to the ground.] These guys wouldn't hurt me. They get me! They know what it's like to be left behind.

Luz winced. Yeah. She could definitely understand that.

Luz: King, if this is about your dad-

King: No! I mean, yeah, but it's you too, Luz!

[Luz is taken aback by what King said.]

King: You'll eventually go back to the Human Realm, I know how it works. I've read your Azura books. You even promised your mom.

Camila wiped a tear away from her eyes. Yet another person she'd screwed up by rashly making Luz make that promise. If only she'd thought before she acted!

"Hey, don't feel too bad, mom," Luz said. "I was always going to return, remember? I never planned to stay past summer. My promise didn't change that."

I just thought I had to... prepare for a world without you in it.

And now that was the world he was living in.

Luz: But they won't help. King, you're not one of them.

King: Then what am I?!

Luz: You're... you're a Titan, King. You're the son of the Boiling Isles.

"Why would you assume he was the son of our Titan?" Willow pointed out. "He could have been the son of any of them."

"I…I don't know," Luz said with a frown. She couldn't remember why she'd even said that.

[King becomes greatly shocked at what he just heard.]

Tarak: Hark!

[King looks to his left. Cut to Tarak standing nearby with a bunch of Titan Trappers behind him.]

Tarak: Tis the wretched spawn of-

"Hey!" Luz shouted. "Don't you talk about my brother like that! If I see you again, I'll rip you to shreds!"

[Bill emerges from behind Tarak and points at King.]

Bill: Shut up and get that Titan!

[Tarak immediately forms a spell circle and fires shots at Luz, King and Hooty.]

Luz: Come on, King!

[Luz immediately picks King up and runs away as Hooty swings wildly behind her. Cut to a view from above showing the Titan Trappers chasing after the trio. Hooty swings his body to shield Luz and King from the attack. A demon draws a spell circle and uses magic to snatch King off Luz's shoulder, bringing him over to them.]

King: Uh! Ah!

Luz: King! King!

[Luz chases after King, but he floats higher and out of her reach. Luz throws a light glyph at the demon and hits him in the face, creating a bright flash which temporarily blinds him. Without magic holding him mid-air, King immediately starts falling down as he screams.

"He'll be fine," Luz promised everyone.

"Yeah…I knew that," Gus said with a nervous laugh. "Totally wasn't worried at all."

He then takes off his cape and uses it as a parachute, slowing down his fall. Cut to some Titan Trappers firing shots with spell circles while others throw bolas at Luz and Hooty.]

Luz: I gotcha! Ah!

[Luz tries to catch King, but is immediately attacked by shots fired by the Titan Trappers. Hooty shields Luz from the attack, then stretches upwards to divert their attention.

"See?!" Luz said triumphantly. "He's not so bad!"

"Yes, I suppose you're right," Camila admitted. "So long as he doesn't throw anything up in my presence, I could probably get used to him."

He manages to evade some shots, but accidentally gets tied up by one of the bolas. He is then hit by multiple shots and falls to the ground.]

Luz: Hooty!

[Luz runs up to try and untangle the rope.]

Hooty: Tell Lulu... how brave I was!

"He's fine; he's just being melodramatic," Luz assured them.

"Sounds like someone else I know," Amity teased.

[Tarak walks up to the duo and ignites a blue fire on his palm, intending to finish them off. Luz and Hooty looks up at him with a frightened expression. Behind them, King lands on the ground, then hops over the duo and pounces on Tarak, banging on his skull with his fists.]

King: Stop fighting! I'm one of you guys!

[Tarak grabs King and throws him to the ground, but King accidentally pulls off Tarak's skull. He notices this, gasps and looks back at Tarak. Cut to Tarak straightening up his body, and is revealed to be a witch.]

Tarak: You were never one of us. My brothers and sisters, a new hunt begins today!

[Everyone around proceeds to take off their skulls. Bill pushes Tarak aside and jumps in front of King.]

Willow shuddered. "I just realized they're wearing King's family's skeletons. That's creepy, even by our standards!"

Bill: With this gift, the Grand Huntsman will return, and I shall ride cloaked in glory above others! [Evil laughter.]

Camila rolled her eyes. No matter where one went, tyrants were all the same.

[Bill's words make everyone around look at each other uncertainly.]

Tarak: You mean, "we", right? [He takes out a spear and steps forward with an angry look on his face.] You promised the Huntsman will grant all of us glory.

Bill: Uh...

Hooty: Are Titans even evil?

Luz: How much have you been making up?

Bill: Uh... uh, don't let the girl fool you! I- I- I'm totally not lying. [Takes off his skull.] Hand me my spear!

[All the Titan Trappers give him a distrustful look.]

Bill: Whatever. Just gimme that thing!

[As he speaks, Bill jumps up to snatch the spear away from Tarak's hand. Before he can harm King, Hooty barges out from the ground below him and sends him flying upwards.

Everyone gave a cheer. "I bet if Hooty had faced down Belos, it would have been over in seconds," Luz bragged.

"Yeah, and Hooty would have lost," Hunter argued.

"Never! Hooty knows eldritch secrets lost to time!"

"If they're lost to time, then how does he know them?" Hunter retorted. Luz just stuck her tongue out at him in response.

The bolas wrapped around Hooty drops to the ground in front of Luz.]

Luz: Not today!

[Luz picks up King, turns around and runs away. King accidentally drops Tarak's skull to the ground. Cut to the trio running towards the platform where they arrived from, with the Titan Trappers chasing after them.]

Luz: Time to go home!

[Luz slams the rock from King's letter into the hole, reactivating the portal which pulls them upwards as the Titan Trappers watch on. Cut to them coming out from the other end, but they fall from a great height as Luz screams.]

Hooty: Hoooooot!

[Hooty extends his body and proceeds to wrap himself around the large finger nearby, successfully slowing down their fall and letting Luz and King land gently on the ground.]

Camila shook her head in amazement. How far they'd come from Hooty spying on Luz in the bathroom.

Luz: We can't let them get through. We have to destroy this thing!

[Cut to the other side where a crowd of Titan Trappers run towards the platform and stop there. Cut back to Luz, King and Hooty.]

King: [Squints.] Then step back.

[King takes a few steps forward, takes a few deep breaths, then lets out a loud sonic scream. The sound waves create some cracks on the finger structure, causing the entire thing to come tumbling down.

Everyone's mouth dropped open in astonishment. They knew King was powerful, obviously, being a Titan, but they hadn't quite gotten a glimpse of how powerful until now.

The portal starts shrinking as Luz picks up King and turns away, trying to shield him. Hooty then proceeds to wrap himself around the duo to protect them.

"I'm gonna bake him a cake," Camila decided. "To celebrate him saving Luz's life so many times!" She glared at Luz. "And hopefully we won't have to worry about that again, will we, Luz?"

"Hey, it's not my fault!" Luz complained. "I just wanted to help King find his family!"

The portal then explodes, creating a powerful blast which brings up a massive amount of dust and rocks the water in the ocean. The trio is then covered by a thick layer of dust brought upon by the blast. A while later, Hooty pokes his head out from the pile of dust.]

Hooty: Hoot!

[Hooty shakes off the dust and unwraps himself from the duo. They all look up in shock. Where the finger was at, there is now only a pile of rocks left, which is still smoking. King looks up at the rocks sadly. Luz and Hooty turn their heads to look at King, who then walks up to Luz and hugs her leg.]

King: [Crying tone.] I wanna go home.

Luz looked at the floor, not trusting herself to speak. King must have been so scared right now. He was being forced to play "Owl House" with the Collector, and any moment, the Collector could see through him and just kill him with a thought! Maybe he was already dead!

"He'll be fine," Willow said, knowing what Luz was thinking. She was not very subtle. "I know he'll be fine. Eda will stop at nothing to protect him."

[King starts tearing up. Luz and Hooty look down at him with a sad expression on their faces. Cut to King on the crow's nest of Salty's boat. King looks down at the symbol on the metal plate of his collar. When he looks up, he sees the Boiling Isles' Titan's corpse in front of him.]

King: [Hesitantly.] Um... hi.

Luz: King!

[King looks down. Below, Salty is cooking something on a stove. Hooty is eating what appears to be a bacon strip from his plate. Luz holds up a plate with two eggs and a bacon strip and looks up at King.]

Luz: You want breakfast?

[King stands up, gives the Titan's corpse another glance, then turns around and walks away sadly.]

"Okay, so as I said, the Owl House was raided after this," Luz said. "We returned to the house to find –"

Hunter waved his hands. "Whoa! Hang on a second! What about the raid on Hexside? That was going on at the same time as this."

"Yeah, but I wasn't there," Luz said. "Aren't we supposed to be telling my story?"

Camila gave her a look of disapproval. "Now, Luz. This is clearly important to your brother. I'm sure you can relinquish the spotlight for a little while, querida."

Luz nodded, appropriately chastened. "Okay, then. Take it away!"
