Owl House Season 1 Episode 6 – Hooty's Moving Hassle
I was kinda expecting more reviews for my last chapter. It's my best one so far. But I guess you can't always get what you want. Anyway, here's the next chapter! Enjoy!
In the Owl House living room, where Eda and Owlbert are playing a card game with Luke and King watching. Eda shuffles her hand, and the eyes on the cards look up at her. Owlbert, wearing a green visor, narrows his eyes and hoots. Luke looks bored.
Eda: Watch closely, Luke. Hexes Hold'em is the trickiest game on the Boiling Isles. Any proper witch knows how to play.
Luke: Buh. What's so fun about some lame card game? This is no different than the Human Realm. Only old people would find this fun.
Eda puts a card down on the table. Lightning surgesfrom the cards, sending Owlbert flying for cover behind the side of the table.
Luke: Ay Caramba!
That's when the cards all grew legs and stood up, opening jaws to roar at their enemies. Owlbert's surge forward and attack Eda's, making Owlbert smirk.
Eda: You were saying?
Luke: Okay, I take that back. This is nothing like the card games back on Earth.
Eda: Now when it looks like the deck is stacked against you, that's when you break out the wildcard.
She holds up a card with a tower on it. It glowed green and Owlbert's animated cards burst in flames. The fire then flew up into the air and formed fiery letters spelling out:
WINNER: EDA
Owlbert hopped back on and hooted at Eda, his wings extended in acknowledgment of her victory.
Eda: Woo, I win! In your adorable owl face. Ah, I love the feeling of victory; it feels... fluffy? Feathers are growing from her arms, causing alarm for Luke and King.
Luke: Uh…Eda? It's happening again!
Eda: What's happening again?
King: Your curse is returning!
Eda finally noticed her arms and screamed when she saw the feathers.
Owl House Intro Music
As the portal gate opens and the camera zooms in on it. Luke opens his eyes to see his falling down, causing him to freak out before something zoomed past and caught him. Luke saw he was saved by Eda along with King, who smirked at the human boy as they flew to her house on her Palisman staff with Luke raising his fist in excitement.
The door where Hooty was opened as Luke steps outside now wearing goggles, twirling his Rebellion sword and struck a pose, aiming his Glyph Gun at the screen. Eda came out with her staff, sharing a grin with Luke. King popped up in front of them in a pose.
A Boiling Isle mural appears, three windows flipping to briefly reveal Gus, Willow, and Amity striking their own poses before burning away to show King commanding an army of stuffed toys, which all fall on him.
Luke rode on Eda's staff like a surfboard, zooming past Bonesborough, flying past Tinella Nosa, sharing a high-five with Gus, Willow being beside him with a plan releasing vines and evading guards that chase him down. Eda and King join in on the fun and they have blast taking to the skies…until they hang on for dear life as a massive monstrous worm-like monster, mouth wide open, lunges at them as they scream in horror.
Then the scene changes back to the Owl House, where it's night-time, and stars twinkle in the sky as the trio are on the roof and looking up into the sky, Eda holding her staff beside her, Luke holding Rebellion downward and King riding his shoulder. Luke opens a hand, sending a ball of light floating into the sky where it bursts to release a blinding flash.
The title card appears:
Owl House
When the trio arrived at Eda's room, they made their way to her closet for her elixirs and found the chest where she kept them. Eda took the chest from the closet and opened it for a new bottle, but they soon ran into a big problem as they saw chest was full of nothing but empty bottles.
Eda: I know I should be repulsed, but that look is fierce.
Luke: Yeah, well, fierce looking you almost ripped my face off! And the last thing I want is to fight that thing again.
Eda: You're right, you're right.
Luke: Also, this look isn't even fierce. I'd stick with repulsed. Eda frowns, annoyed and offended. This version of you really puts the "ug" in "ugly"! And you know how you said that's why people call you the Owl Lady?
Eda: Yeah?
Luke: I was expecting something with a little more flair.
Eda: You're saying I don't have flair?
Luke: Luke shrugs. Meh. Not really.
Eda: Eda narrows her eyes. You'll pay for that later. For now, we need to head to the market.
Luke: Woo-hoo! Market! I'm gonna pickpocket some jerks!
Luke runs off and King excitedly follows him.
King: I'm stealing everything that's not nailed down!
Eda: Before we go, would anyone like to play one more hand of Hexes Hold'em?
Eda takes out her cards only for Luke to snatch them away.
Luke: Yoink!
Eda: Hey, give me back my cards!
Luke: Nerp! You're not getting these back until we get your medicine! He snaps a finger and Owlbert flies over for him to hand the cards over to him. Take these and fly ahead. She'll have to follow us.
Owlbert does just that and Eda runs after him.
Eda: Owlbert, you sore loser, gimme back my cards!
It was another lovely day in the town of Bonesborough. As winged demons flew over the witches and demons going about their day on the ground. Including the Owl House group. With her cloak to disguise herself, Eda led the group through the market towards a potion shop named 'Mr. Elixir'. Eda banged on the closed metal grate that covered the window.
Eda: Hey, open up, Morton!
Morton: Uh…ju-just a minute!
King leaves Eda's side to sit next to Luke on a bench.
Luke: Is there anything better than people watching in the Demon Realm?
Three witches are standing at a bus stop as a giant egg rolls up to it. The egg cracks, revealing a featherless bird that screeches before it flies away. The witches enter the egg, one of them closes it, and it rolls off as Tiny Nose runs up to catch it.
Tiny Nose: Wait, wait! Too late, the egg has already rolled off. Aw, dang it.
Luke: It's like watching the inner machinations of a mad man.
King: Tiny legged companion, I feel your pain.
Tiny Nose looked down in defeat until she looked up and ran away screaming from a larger witch with a brown cloak. He stopped and looked over his shoulder. Waving his hand, he motioned for other witches dressed like him to follow. They did so while pulling a cart with a large worm-like demon tied to it through the street. Luke walks over to parade.
Luke: Yeesh. That is one ominous parade. And that has got to be the creepiest parade float I've ever seen.
Eda: That's no parade. Those are demon hunters.
The demon growls and struggles to escape, forcing the two demon hunters pushing the cart to pull its ropes to pin it back down. It tries to bite at the leader.
Eda: Dangerous nomads who capture and sell the most powerful beasts.
The leader traces a spell circle, creating green lightning in his hand. He grunts as he shocks the demon unconscious. He turns and looks at Luke much to his discomfort.
Eda: Which I'm about to become if you don't open up, Morton!
She continued knocking on the gate unit Morton finally opened the gate.
Morton is revealed to be a lanky young man with light pale skin, light brown eyes, and short brown hair. Oddly, he was wearing a grey funnel hat. He also wore a mint green long-sleeved top with fingerless gloves, and a long brown overlay dress with a criss-cross sleeve, and a dark brown belt with a frog necklace.
Morton: Sorry, Eda! I was up all-night poison tasting and for some reason, I don't feel great.
Luke: Hmm. Perplexing. What a mystery, this is. Someone who's been tasting poison is suddenly not feeling well. I wonder what could have caused this. Guess we'll never know. I'm afraid this case is unsolvable.
Eda looked at him deadpanned, but Morton was confused.
Morton: I don't know if that was sarcasm or…
Eda: Eda points at Morton. You, ignore him. It makes things easier. She sternly points to Luke. You, be quiet. Your nonchalant attitude isn't helping. There's a time and place for it, but not now.
Luke: Aww, you're no fun.
Eda: I am, too, fun!
Luke: They look back to Morton. But seriously, dude, you taste test poison and you're wondering why you're sick? How are you even still alive.
Morton: You mean the poison is what's making me sick?
Luke nods with a deadpanned look and Eda hands Morton an empty bottle
Eda: I'm all outta my juice, pal.
Morton: Oh, gee. Lemme see what I can do.
Morton ducks down and digs around, rattling bottles. The demon hunters continue on, revealing Willow and Gus, looking dejected, behind the demon.
Luke: Hey, it's Willow and Gus! He happily ran up to them. Yo, amigos! Wait, what's wrong? Who hurt you this time?
Willow: Them.
She points over to a food stand a few feet away from where a group of teenage girls talking and laughing together. Among them was Amity, who was staring at a potion. The other girls were her friends, Boscha, Skara, and Cat.
Boscha was a slender witch with pink skin, three grey-blue eyes, and violet hair tied back in a bun.
Skara was a young witch with a dark brown skin tone, eyes with grey irises, and hair that came in tones of pinkish-grey and deep mauve held up in a ponytail.
Cat had dark skin too, and brown wavy hair with a side bang. She wore squared glasses with black frames over her brown eyes and had a red lower lip.
Willow: Amity's having a moonlight conjuring and invited everyone but us.
Gus: And she keeps posting about it on her Penstagram account.
Gus summons his scroll, opening to Amity's Penstagram post of her and her friends posing.
Luke: "It's conjuring night! No dorks allowed"? Luke scowls at Amity, stuffing his hands in his pockets. Seriously? Cyberbullying? What a total asshole! Wait, what's a moonlight conjuring?
Willow: You spend the night at someone's house, telling stories, playing games...
Luke: Like a sleepover! We have those!
Willow: She pulls out a book, presenting a certain page. Then you bring something to life with moon magic!
Luke: Ah, right, Boiling Isles. Should've known there'd be a weird angle to this.
Willow: Gus and I have never been to one. You need at least three people and…
Luke: Well, I'm no math genius but…me plus the two of you equal 3 people, ergo enough for a conjuring. Plus, we are WAY better than Amity and her group of dicks.
They were interrupted when Amity's friend group walks up to them laughing, except Amity who just remains stoic.
Boscha: Sorry you couldn't get an invite to the conjuring, Willow. Only real witches allowed.
Willow looks down hurt and Gus comforts her while Luke and Amity share glares, remembering their duel in the Covention.
Boscha: Hey, you. Luke glares at Boscha who smirks. You're human, right?
Luke: Luke stuffs his hands in his pockets. Who wants to know?
Boscha: Name's Boscha. Amity, you know. And these are Skara and Cat. Skara and Cat smirk with her. So, you're the human Amity fought in the Covention right?
Luke: So, what if I am?
Boscha: Hmm. You don't look that impressive. I don't see how Amity lost to you in that witches' duel. If you ask me, it was just a fluke. Amity glares at Boscha, prompting her to change subject. Whatever. Piece of advice human, if I were you, I'd ditch the loser duo stood behind you before their dorkiness ruins my social life.
Luke: Well, it's a good thing I'm not you. I think I can tell the wrong type of friends myself, thanks. He thumbs to his friends. If it means not ending up like you, then I'll take hanging with these guys any day.
Boscha: Suit yourself. You've just made my hazing list. Any friend of Half-A-Witch Willow is an automatic dork.
Boscha, Skara and Cat laugh again as Willow blushes in embarrassment but Luke just grins amusement, making them stop in confusion.
Luke: Are these your friends Willow? You look like you can do A LOT better than these losers.
Gus smiles in agreement and Willow widens her eyes in surprise at Luke's faith in her. Boscha, Skara and Cat gasp in disbelief at the insult aimed at them. Amity just isn't surprised at this point anymore.
Cat: What was that?
Luke: Though if I had to pick my least favorite, it's a tie between the three-eyed monster and the short one.
Skara: Who's he talking about? Any idea who the short one-?
All the girls got closer to Skara to compare each other's height. She moves her hand from head to Boscha, then Amity and then Cat, realizing she's the shortest of their group. She growls, a little red and irritated and lunges at Luke, but Cat grabbed her by the cowl.
Luke: But, hey, height changes with a few future growth spurts. He points to Boscha. Pinkie here looks like she could use a facelift…and some help for that third eye.
Boscha gasps even louder than her friends. Willow, Gus and Amity also gasp at Boscha being owned and roasted as she turns red.
Boscha: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME!?
Luke: Tell me lady, are all you three-eyes full of yourselves? Is picking on Willow the only way to cover up how secretly sad and pathetic you are? Boscha growls furiously, blushing mad red. Also, quick question, does having three eyes make a person psychic or just improve eyesight? Either way, you should know how bad an eyesore you are to most people.
Everyone gasps in shock from the insult, Boscha becomes so mad a vein shows on her head.
Boscha: YOU TAKE THAT BACK! YOU'RE JUST A POWERLESS HUMAN WHO CAN'T DO MAGIC!
Luke: Luke just shrugs. Like I needed that to escape Hexside and beat Amity. He slicks his hair back. All I needed was pure skills. I doubt you could do any better.
Boscha: Oh, I have more skills in one finger than you could ever have in your entire stupid, non-magic human body!
Luke: Lady, you talk too much, you know that. Even your trash talks suck.
Boscha: WHAT WAS THAT!?
Skara: Whoa, whoa, easy girl, he's just trying to make you lose your cool. Don't let him get to you.
Boscha takes Skara's advice and takes a deep breath, calming down before smirking again.
Boscha: Sure, go ahead and talk tough wise guy. At least I have friends, unlike you.
Luke: I've got friends too. And thumbs to Willow and Gus. And they're right behind me.
Boscha: If you're seriously friends with these two dorks, then you've officially destroyed your social life.
Willow dejectedly looks down, Gus glares hatefully as Boscha, Skara and Cat laugh while Luke steps up, holding up a fist.
Luke: If you think I won't punch you out just because you're a girl, think again. So, get lost or get hit, it's your choice.
Boscha: Ha! That I'd love to see-! AAAH!
Boscha got what she wished for and receives a punch in the face, which resulted in her screaming in pain and falling on her back, her third eye now a black eye that she tries to cover. She lifts herself up, glaring at Luke in hatred.
Boscha: You jerk!
Luke: How's that for a powerless human?
Willow, Gus, King & Eda: Ooooh!
Eda gives a double thumbs up which Luke returns.
Willow: Luke! You punched Boscha!
Gus: One punch. Just once punch and you gave her a black eye! That was awesome!
Luke: Thanks, Gustonimo. He looks to the girls, crossing his arms. And unless you ladies want one to match, beat it!
Boscha stood up, enraged and still covering her eye, Amity, Skara and Cat glaring at Luke with her.
Boscha: You little piece of-! She draws a spell circle. I will set both your eyes on fire!
She drew a spell circle only to be stopped by Cat.
Cat: Wait, Boscha!
She points behind Luke and Amity's group spot Coven Scouts nearby, luckily, they haven't noticed the exchange between Luke and Boscha otherwise they might've been arrested.
Cat: Let's do what he says for now. We'll get back at him another time.
Boscha reluctantly dispels her spell circle and crosses her arms, calming down and seeing reason behind Cat's words.
Boscha: Fine, we'll go. But this isn't over human.
Skara: FYI, I'm not that short. If anything, you're only like one foot taller than me, max.
Luke: I think it's a little more than that, tiny.
Skara growls and proceeds to lunge at Luke only for to be blocked by Boscha who glares and points at him.
Boscha: Keep talking, tough guy. Next time I see you, you'll regret this!
Luke: We'll see about that, Pinkie. Now get lost unless you want a second black eye.
Boscha: Whatever. Come on girls, let's leave the bad boy to destroy what's left of his social life by hanging out with the shrimp and Half-A-Witch here.
Amity: Leave her alone Boscha. Amity and her friend group take their leave. It's not her fault she was born without talent.
This made Willow growl with anger, which unknowingly made her magic act up. Several large vines started growing from the ground. Luke slaps a vine and wraps an arm around Willow.
Luke: Whoa! Chill out, Whomping Willow! Don't waste your time getting thorny over those brats, 'cause we're gonna have our own moonlight conjuring.
Immediately, Willow forgets her anger and she and Gus become excited.
Gus: Are you serious? This was on my bucket list. He pulls out a list and checks off Moonlight Conjuring. After owning a real human bucket!
Luke: That's a really weird thing to want, but I respect your enthusiasm. I'll go tell Eda.
He runs to get Eda. Morton stood up after searching and King is sat on a bench.
Morton: I've got bad news and good news. Bad news is I'm all out 'till next week. Good news is feathers are a good look for you.
A feather grows out of her hair.
Eda: Morton!
That feather and several others flutter to the ground as she stalks forward. If she doesn't get any elixir, she'll turn into a monster again.
Morton: Well gee, E. Why'd you wait to re-up 'till now?
Eda: I've been very busy.
King: Yeah, busy playing Hexes Hold'em. She's obsessed with it.
Eda: I am not obsessed!
King: You're playing it right now!
Several cards are now splayed out on the counter, and Eda has one in hand.
Eda: Am I winning?
Morton began speaking in dark and serious tone, a thought coming to mind.
Morton: You know, I wouldn't suggest this to just anybody, but if you need your elixir you could try your luck later this evening.
Eda: In the night market?
Morton: There's a guy with a stand, goes by Grimm Hammer; if anyone has what you need, it's him.
It was at that moment Luke had arrived.
Luke: Hey, teach. Do you mind if I use your house for a moo-
Eda: Not tonight, I'm going out. She grabs her staff and walks over to King. I need you to watch the house, I have many precious objects in there.
King: Like me!
Eda: She picks up King up by his collar. You're coming with me. I need an extra pair of eyes looking out for pickpockets, and an extra pair of hands in case I want to pickpocket.
Eda & King: Pickpocket!
Luke: Then, is it alright if I invite Willow and Gus over to our place. The three of us are planning on doing a moonlight conjuring so we can stick it to Amity and show her who's boss.
Eda: As much I love the idea of you, my student, showing up a bunch of snobs and possibly humiliate them…No!
Luke: Oh come! Why not?
Eda: Conjuring's are dumb; sitting in a circle holding hands. Pft. It's like magic for babies.
And with that, Eda walks away, leaving Luke annoyed with how petty his teacher's being over a simple conjuring. Willow and Gus run up, excited.
Willow: Luke! What did Eda say?
Luke: Um…well…
Gus: Oh, look! He points up to the moon rising in place. The moon is rising into place. And the celestial powers only align once a year.
Willow: Oh, I can't believe I finally have enough friends for a moonlight conjuring! Thank you, Luke! Did Eda say it was okay?
Luke is struggling to respond. He doesn't want to get in trouble with Eda but at the same time he doesn't want to break his friends' hearts, especially Willow who's been wanting to do this forever. And so, he makes his choice.
Luke: Uhm... yes. She said yes. We can do it at the Owl House. As long as we don't make a mess or touch anything and never bring up that we did it!
He nervously laughs and the two buy his lie.
Gus: Yes!
Willow: Oh, you're the best!
Willow & Gus: We're gonna do a conjuring! We're gonna do a conjuring! Conjuring! Conjuring!
Luke looks at the moon nervously but steels his nerves.
Luke: "It's just one little lie to help my friends. Besides, Eda's a criminal and she's made plenty of lies. What damage could one little conjuring do?"
Hours later, night had overtaken the Boiling Isles as Eda was getting ready for her elixir trip to the night market and donned her red cloak to hide herself. Luke watches from the couch.
Eda: Luke, you're in charge while I'm out. Make sure Hooty doesn't get into any trouble.
Hooty: Hoot hoot! I don't need a babysitter. I'm a big boy house!
Luke stood up, a little nervous but tries to play cool.
Luke: Don't worry, Eda, I've got this. I've house sat before. I'd never betray your hard-earned trust.
Eda could tell from the nervous tone of that last sentence Luke is hiding something.
Eda: You're acting suspicious. You're doing that thing where you hide in your hoodie.
Luke: Luke has his hood up and closed. No, I'm not. He pushes his hood down. Oh, where's King?
Eda: He's right here.
She opens her cloak to reveal King, snoring, strapped in a pink baby carrier.
Eda: His little body just conks out when he's weightless. Look at this.
She moves side to side, King not waking as he moves like a ragdoll.
Luke: Aww. Now that's just adorable.
He plays with his legs for a bit.
Luke and Eda walk outside, and the Owl Lady has her staff in hand.
Eda: Anyway, really going now. And Luke...
Eda turns to give a stern and menacing look that puts Luke in fear and makes him nervous.
Eda: I don't care if you can cut things apart with that sword, if you mess up the house, you will feel my WRATH! And suddenly she smiles. No pressure! BYYYEEE!
Owlbert hoots as Eda flies away, leaving Luke in shock over seeing how intense his mentor was being. He lets out a breath he didn't know he held in.
Luke: Ay. She's really scary when she wants to be. Should I really be doing this? No, no, Willow is counting on you, you can't back down now. He whispers to a pair of bushes. Okay, she's gone, coast is clear.
Willow: Release!
The bushes glowed before bursting to leave to reveal Willow and Gus in different clothes than their school uniforms.
Willow is wearing a long-sleeved yellowish-tan dress that had a blue tie with an oval chartreuse gem on it, light gray and dark gray striped leggings, and brown boots.
Gus is wearing a green tunic with white sleeves and a black belt. He also wore black tights and brown boots.
Willow: I'm a sneaky sneakster!
Gus: I've got leaves in my pants...and I like it.
Luke leads them inside.
Hooty: Company! Hooray! Finally, someone to listen to my stories! Okay, one time, a sparrow flew into my mouth, and then I…
Luke: Nobody cares Hooty.
After they walk in Luke follows and shuts the door, ignoring Hooty.
Hooty: Hey...
He coughs out a sparrow, which flies away chirping.
Willow and Gus find themselves inside the Owl House for the first time. Luke presents the living room.
Luke: Welcome to the living room. We call it that because it's technically living! The walls are breathing, look.
Luke pointed towards a wall and they saw it was moving in and out like a chest as breathes could be heard from it. Willow walks up to it, amazed.
Willow: Enchanting.
Gus is rummaging through Eda's chest full of human items. He looks at an 8-ball.
Gus: And look at all these human treasures. He then pulls out a skull. And actual humans!
Luke presents a bowl of eyeballs.
Luke: We've got snacks, we've got weird music!
He puts the needle down on a gramophone, which produces an evil cackle. Gus walks up to him with a bucket on his head.
Gus: We've got a bucket!
Luke: Gus, my man!
Willow: And best of all we have actual friends to do the conjuring with! This is so exciting!
Luke: So how does this conjuring stuff work…other than holding hands?
Willow: Well first, we find an object to animate. Since it's our first time we should pick something meaningful. Walks over to some flowers in owl-shaped pot. Something beautiful.
Gus bursts through the flowers with a Beefy Bob action figure.
Gus: Like this strangely buff little man?
He taps its stomach.
Beefy Bob: I'm half beef, half Bob!
Luke: Yes! Perfect! Let's do him!
Willow: That's not exactly what I meant by "beautiful".
Gus lowered the action figure as he started whimpering and looking hurt with sad eyes.
Luke: Cool. Demons do puppy dog eyes too.
Unable to ignore her friend's plea Willow relents.
Willow: Okay, buff boy it is.
Luke: Luke wraps an arm around Willow. Yes! We'll do a plant next! Is there also some sort of chant we need to do?
Willow: As a matter of fact, there is. It's here in the book.
Willow gives Luke the book, taking him to a certain page which he reads.
Luke: Okay, this doesn't look hard, I think I can follow. Let's do it!
Gus: Tonight, he shall be risen!
As the moon rose up into the sky, the trio moved to the centre of the living room. Gus placed Beefy Bob on the ground between the three of them as they sat in a square formation with several lit candles around them.
Willow: According to the conjuring books I've read, we say the incantation and make a connection with the doll.
Gus: Figurine.
Luke, Willow and Gus hold hands and begin chanting.
Luke, Willow & Gus: Moonlight, we call, we sing. Moonlight take this chance. Moonlight come tie the string. Moonlight starts the dance! Moonlight tie string! Moonlight starts the dance!
As the three chant they all become engulfed in blue light.
Outside, the moon continued rising into the sky. Hooty looked up and stared at the Demon Realm's natural satellite. But then the moon stopped moving, before a burst of blue light expanded out of it. A similar burst of blue light burst out from between Luke, Willow and Gus, spreading around the living room and extinguishing the candles. They all open one eye and look at Beefy Bob.
Luke: Uh…did it work?
Gus: That's your cue, little man.
Suddenly, the entire house started to rumble like it was an earthquake.
Outside, Hooty blinked his eyes, before opening them. Revealing them to have turned the same blue as the magical energy from the moon. Birds flew away from the house, as the foundation cracked around it. Then the Owl House suddenly started to rise up and stand on two giant owl legs. The three kids screamed as they lost their balance. The shaking stopped when the Owl House stopped rising and just stood there.
The entire living room is a mess, and the kids are spread out around the floor.
Luke: Guys? A book falls on his head. OW! What the hell just happened!? It's the like the entire house came to life!
Gus: Little buff guy, what did you do?
Beefy Bob: A real man never takes accountability!
Willow: No, I think-I think we might've animated the house by accident!
Luke: The house? You're saying we brought the house to life!?
Hooty continues making ghostly noises. Luke runs outside and nearly falls off the ledge.
Luke: OH MY GOD! We really did bring the house to life!
Gus and Willow join him outside as the House begins to walk. They all scream, and the door slams shut. Luke quickly runs up to Hooty.
Luke: Hooty? Hooty! Hooty, you have to stop!
Hooty: By the power of moonlight, I have risen. Hoot hoot.
Gus: He's in some kind of trance!
The Owl House steps through two trees. The jostling makes Gus yell as he and Luke lose their balance. He nearly falls off, but Luke and Willow catch him.
Willow & Luke: Gus!
Luke: How did this even happen!?
Willow: Our magic must've spread through the house instead of the doll!
Gus: Figurine!
Luke: SHUT UP, GUS!
Luke and Willow grunt as they try to not drop Gus. They both nearly fall and grab the other's hand for balance. The blue glow returns.
Luke: Hooty, stop!
The House stops moments before it would have walked off a cliff. Luke and Willow pull Gus back up to safety and they all let go of each other, staring at their hands.
Gus: How'd we do that?
They all look at the moon and a thought came to Luke's head.
Luke: Willow, Gus, hold hands again.
They do just that, glowing once again. The Owl House takes several steps away from the cliff.
Willow: We're controlling it with the power of friendship. Uh…and the moon. Probably the moon.
Luke: Definitely the moon.
Gus: This is amazing! What do we do now?
The glow fades as they separate hands.
Luke: On the one hand, we should probably stay put.
Gus: On the other hand, we've got a giant walking house and should totally take it on a joyride!
Luke looks at the now-descending moon. If Eda were to find out about this, she'd kill him. But perhaps if they stay away from Bonesborough she won't know anything about this. Plus, his new friends will be able to enjoy their first conjuring which they're entitled to.
Luke: Okay, okay, but we gotta be back before the moon sets or Eda will kill me.
The trio of friends were holding hands and glowing again, directing the house forward through a bunch of trees as they cheer in joy and excitement. Unfortunately, they're spotted by the leader demon hunter who has now found his next target.
(Timeskip)
Eda has been strolling around the night-market and with help from a creepy local she's found the store belonging to Grim Hammer. Unfortunately, time is not on her side as her curse is getting worse and taking hold slowly.
Meanwhile, the Owl House is still walking through the forest. Luke and the gang spot Boscha walking past with a duffel bag and…a crow to her ear like it's a phone?
Willow: Hey, is that...
Gus: It's Boscha. That girl who made fun of us.
Luke: The three-eyed puta, I punched? And why's she talking to a crow like it's a phone?
Gus: That's actually our world's versions of your human communication devices.
Boscha is having an unpleasant talk with her mother on the phone. She wears an eyepatch around her forehead, covering her top black eye that Luke gave.
Boscha: Ugh! Yes, Mom. I'm going to a moonlight conjuring. No, Mom. You can't come. And yes, Mom, it's sad that you're asking.
She lets go of the crow, which caws as it flies away. She turns around and spots the Owl House, but not the trio.
Willow: She noticed us. What do we do?
Luke thinks for a bit, then smiles as a mischievous idea comes to mind. He wraps his arms around his friends.
Luke: Hey, amigos, tell me, have you two ever played a prank on anyone in your life? Willow and Gus shake their heads. Well, allow this human to help you with your first ever prank. Gus, make me a megaphone, stat.
Seconds after that, Boscha is hearing Luke's loud and menacing voice as he spoke through a megaphone, courtesy of Gus's illusion magic.
Luke You there! Foul child, begone from my land! Your sheer ugliness and hateful spirit offend me and disturbs my land! Leave or suffer my WRATH!
Luke, Willow and Gus secretly laugh and Boscha is annoyed and unimpressed.
Boscha: Ew. A talking house is lecturing and insulting me? Whatever. I'll just TP you like I did with the rest of the neighbourhood.
Luke: You dare compare me to those dilapidated hovels you call homes?! FOOL! I am no mere house. I am a being as old as time itself. I shall say it again, begone from my land or you will SUFFER!
Luke roared through the megaphone and the Owl House stood up. Boscha screamed as she ran for her life.
At that moment, the trio laugh hysterically.
Gus: I've never pranked anyone before. And now I have a taste for it.
Willow: Luke, that was amazing! And so fun!
Luke: I know, I know. Back in my old school I'm a pretty legendary prankster. I'm awesome like that.
Willow: We should follow her to Amity's house to show off our conjuring. That will show her who's got no talent.
Luke looks at the moon, which is nearly at the treetops and still going down, meaning they're running out of time.
Luke: Uh…as much I'd love to prank little Miss Perfect; it might be best to head back!
Gus: Amity's updating her Penstagram.
Gus presents the Penstagram and Luke reads at Amity's latest update.
Luke: "Shout out to my fellow witches! #HUMANSCANBITEIT"! Luke gasps and becomes furious, not about to let that stand. Let's get that little punk!
Reconnecting hands, the trio have the Owl House stomp through the forest, destination: Amity's House.
(Timeskip)
Eda and King finally meet Grim Hammer who's revealed to be a small pig demon named Tibbles. Good news: he has an elixir. Bad news: he refuses to give it to Eda unless she pays 1000 snails which is money she doesn't have. She then notices a deck of Hexes Hold'em cards which prompts her to challenge Tibbles. If Eda wins, she takes the elixir and if Tibbles wins, he takes something that belongs to Eda.
Meanwhile, Luke, Willow and Gus have the Owl House stomp through Bonesborough. People on the streets scream and run for cover.
Soon they arrive at a huge manor covered in red moss on a hill, made from purple and gray stone, with a brown shingle roof, complete with stone chimneys and a large spire. Round, stained-glass windows are found at the highest level of the manor, with diamond shapes painted on them.
Willow: Look, Amity's house. Time to show Amity what a real conjuring looks like.
However, just as the House started forward, it was stopped by a giant rope over the roof and tied down to the ground. The group's connection broke when the house suddenly stopped.
All: Wha—!
Willow: What happened?
Luke: Is that a…giant crossbow?
Luke points at a giant crossbow aimed at them. The demon hunter leader gives the signal for the crossbow to be shot. A second arrow is fired, securing the house further. The leader jumps up in front of the kids.
Leader: Knock, knock.
The kids gasp and Lincoln quickly summons Rebellion, charging the Demon Hunter but he drew his own sword and blocked Luke's attack effortlessly and all while holding the sword with one hand. Luke is unable to push against the hunter.
Leader: You've got spirit, boy. But you're years away from my level of experience.
He pushes Luke off and the boy stumbles back with a grunt before the demon hunter traces a spell circle and blasts him with electricity. Luke blocks with his blade but the force was enough to send him flying and crashing into Gus, through the door just as it opened. They both fall hit the floor hard and fall unconscious.
Willow: Luke! Gus!
Willow was about retaliate, summoning vines to attack with but the leader unleashes more electricity that engulfs Willow and causes her to scream in pain, dropping down and falling unconscious.
Later, the Owl House is tied down a large cart being pushed through the woods by demon hunters. One stands atop a cliff and blows into a horn.
Hooty kept making strange noises and Luke, Willow and Gus were tied up together, Luke kicking the door, Gus trying to bite the ropes and Willow looking dejected.
Luke: Hooty! Hooty! Nap times over! WAKE UP! GET US OUT OF HERE!
Hooty: If you want this to end as you say, three must hold hands. It's the only way.
Luke: ¡Oye, no me hable así! Willow, help me out with Hooty? Willow doesn't respond. Willow?
Willow: I'm sorry, Luke. You shouldn't ask ME to help with anything.
Luke: Willow…
Before anything could be said, the house stops moving and they scream, falling on the floor.
Luke: Did the house stop moving?
Gus: My insides didn't.
The door opens, revealing the hunters, the leader laughing.
The leader shoves and throws the trio off before jumping down to join his allies.
Leader: Take the house and rip out the house demon. We can sell it to restaurants as exotic meat.
Luke: No! Hooty would taste terrible.
Hooty: Hey, I'm a refined taste. Hoot! Hoot!
Tom: What do we do with the worms?
The trio become increasingly nervous.
Leader: Throw them over the cliff.
Tom chuckles as he approaches them.
Tom escorts and shoves Luke, Willow and Gus to the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea.
Tom: All righty, kids. Here's the end of your short little lives.
Gus: Wait! Wait! Wait! Gus turns the group so he's facing the demon hunter. Is this really what you wanna be doing with your life? Tossing kids from cliffs?
Tom: Actually, yes. It's been my dream since I was a boy.
The three of them look at him for a long moment, incredibly disturbed by that.
Tom: I was a strange child.
And with that Tom shoves the three off and they scream, falling down to their deaths.
Fortunately, they're not dead. Luke, Willow and Gus are dangling from a branch sticking out of the cliffside. But it could snap at any moment. Willow is still quite dejected.
Luke: If we're not killed now, we will be when Eda finds out about the house.
Willow: Luke, I'm so sorry. You wanted to turn back but I just had to show off to Amity.
Luke: It's okay, Willow, there's no need to blame yourself. I wanted to stick it to Amity too after all. But…why were you so obsessed with showing off to Amity in the first place.
Willow: The truth is she and I used to be friends.
Luke: WHAT!? You and Amity were friends!? You're kidding, right!?
This is an absolute bombshell; Luke couldn't imagine Willow and Amity as friends after his experience at Hexside. The branch cracks but Willow goes on.
Willow: No, I'm not. We were best friends once. We played together as kids, but when we got our magical powers and I had no control over mine, she stopped hanging out with me.
Gus: Guys, is now the best time?
Luke: Shut up, Gus! I wanna listen to this!
Willow: Willow sighs in despair. I just wanted to prove to her that I was a powerful witch, too. I thought maybe it'd make us friends again. But I guess she was right about me. I really am Half-A-Witch-Willow.
Luke: That's ridiculous. You're not Half-A-Witch-Willow! You're Full-Witch-Willow like I said! You helped bring a house to life for crying out loud! You brought the Principal of Hexisde to his knees with nothing but a plant seed. Amity doesn't know what she's talking about. She's just wealthy blowhard! Willow smiles, touched by Luke's words. Next to Eda, you're the most powerful witch I know. No offense, Gus. You're awesome too.
Gus: No, not at all. I know what I'm about. The branch cracks and they all yelp. This branch can't hold us much longer.
Willow: Willow frees a hand. There. Now, if I could just reach that root. Willow reaches out for a stray tree root nearby. Gotcha!
Her hand glows green as she grabs it, preparing to unleash the wrath of nature which she commands.
(Timeskip)
In a terrible turn of events on Eda's side, the Owl Lady gets hustled by Tibbles and loses the card game. Tibbles takes King as his prize and Eda's curse neutralized her magic, allowing Tibbles to chain her down. Even worse, he knows who she is and plans on turning her over to the Emperor's Coven for the large bounty on her.
Back near the Owl House, the demon hunters are gathered.
Tom: Yeah, they tried to fight back, and they nearly got me. But you know, I handled it.
Leader: They were children, Tom.
A shadow falls over them. Willow has made the small root grow into a huge plant, and she, Luke, and Gus are standing atop a large leaf. Willow's hands glow as green as her vines, and she moves one of the thorny vines to cut the rope and free them.
Willow: We may be children, but we're also witches. Powerful ones.
She sends the plants to attack. It flings Tom into the distance and the leader draws his sword, slicing off the tip of one of the vines. A three-eyed witch tries to hit a vine with an axe, but misses. The vine grabs his ankle and flings him into a pile of rubble.
Luke steps up in front, preparing something.
Luke: Willow, Gus, stand back! I've got some new toys I've been preparing for an occasion like this. He crosses his arms with a grin. Meet my new friends!
Luke spreads his arms down and to Willow and Gus' amazement he summons in blue light, a pair of blue and navy-blue guns, a gem attached to them, and they both have a wolf head symbol, impressing Willow and Gus.
Willow & Gus: Wow!
He spins his guns and crosses them.
Luke: I call these my Glyph Guns!
Luke fires shots of blue laser bullets that fly down and hit a couple of demon hunters, knocking them out, shocking them or allowing Willow's vines to take hold of them. The leader and a couple others manage to deflect the bullets, prompting Luke to dive down and fire a rainstorm of bullets.
Luke: WOO-HO-HO-HOO!
A couple of other hunters flinch and when Luke flips and lands on his feet he does something surprising. He combines his guns into one and aims at a couple more hunters. The muzzle extends and charges up. Luke pulls the trigger and fires a powerful blast of large blue energy that engulf the hunters and send them flying into a rock, knocking them out. The leaf lets down Willow and Gus and they run up to Luke in amazement.
Willow: Luke, that was amazing!
Gus: Yeah, what is that human weapon! I must know!
Luke: They're called handguns. I had Eda get some Earth tech to help me make these. I'm pretty good with electronics, believe it or not! And the best part is, Eda gave me these two gems to attach. They absorb my glyph magic like my sword does. I already attached the Electric and Light Glyph into them. Pretty cool, huh?
Gus: I love human items.
The Leader Demon Hunter steps forth, dragging his sword along the ground.
Leader: Don't expect that to work on me.
The kids share determined nods. Willow and Gus prepare spell circles and Luke switches out his combined gun for Rebellion, preparing to fight and extending the blade.
Luke: Outta my way, you bastard! I don't have time to waste on you here!
Leader: You can't defeat me, boy!
Luke: Watch me, pal!
Luke charges with a battle cry and attacks, forcing the Leader to hold his sword down and block Luke's attack.
Leader: You'll have to do much better than that!
Luke: Don't mock me!
Willow and Gus are surrounded by four hunters as Luke battles their leader. They share nods and Willow sends out fines to smash the two hunters in front of her and Gus creates illusions of himself which he sends to attack his two hunters. Before they could attack, the illusions pile on and pin them down.
Luke attacks again, slicing the leader and this time the demon hunter is forced to put in more effort to block Luke.
Leader: You're more skilled than I thought, human! But you still have a long way to go!
He pushes Luke back and attempts to slice him. Luke dodges a couple of slashes and holds up his sword to block a cleave attack, struggling to push back.
Gus: Luke! Move out of the way!
Luke looks back to see Gus preparing to cast a spell, prompting the human to push off the leader and jump back, allowing Gus to create a bunch of illusions that surround the Demon Hunter.
This buys Luke time to activate the Light Glyph engraved on Rebellion and it becomes coated in light, lengthening like it did in his duel with Amity.
The Leader is distracted long enough for Willow to send a vine through the illusions. The hunter barely dodges and then hears a battle cry from above.
He looks up to see Luke dropping down to launch a strong slash with his sword. The hunter blocks but is forced to one knee from the force of Luke's attack. Luke pushes harder and eventually his enhanced blade breaks the hunter's weapon in half, the force of which sends him flying and falling on his back as Luke lands on his feet.
His sword reverts to normal, and Willow and Gus join him, the trio share a couple of high-fives.
Gus: We did it! We beat the Demon Hunters!
Willow: We really are powerful witches!
Luke: Hell, yeah, we are! Now let's bail!
Luke, Willow and Gus run to the House while the plant is busy with the other demon hunters. The kids quickly climb up, get inside the house and Luke closes the door.
Luke: Everyone, quick! Join hands!
The trio join hands and glow once more. The hunters are struggling against the vines. The Leader electrifies his hand and chops through his one, but his victory is short lived as the Owl House rises and he's so shocked he lifts his eyepatch. The Owl House stomps and crushes him, knocking him out.
Luke looks out the window to see the Moon is nearing the waters, time's running out.
Luke: Oh darn! I don't mean to step on this victory but we gotta get home before Eda does or I'm literally dead.
The Owl House walks away, leaving the ruins of the battle behind. The Demon Hunters are spread around everywhere, knocked out and restrained. The leader lifts his head up, groaning.
Tom: "They're just children, Tom."
(Timeskip)
Realizing how much her obsession with Hexes Hold'em has gotten her and King in trouble Eda apologises to him and swears she'll stop playing it. Believing her, King stands up to Tibbles and just as the conman was about to let him have it the Owl House stomps his stand much to his horror and Eda's laughter until she realizes that's her house with Luke calling out from it. Taking advantage of the distraction, King tosses Eda her Elixir, she drinks, subdues her curse, regains her power and escapes, but not before mocking Tibbles who swore revenge only for him Scam Stand to collapse on him, his life now ruined.
Meanwhile, the Owl House returns to its former locations and sits back down on the crater it left. The trio disconnect hands.
Luke: Did we do it? Are we back?
The door opens to reveal Hooty a little disorientated.
Hooty: Is the room spinning or is it just me? He chuckles a little. Ah. Just a little house humour.
Hooty is exhausted and Luke rubs the back of his head.
Luke: Sorry we got you involved in this, Hooty.
Hooty: It's okay. I'm just glad I was included.
The door is slammed closed, revealing Eda and King on the other side and the former is looking incredibly angry, causing Luke to gulp in fear.
Luke: Oh…crap.
Eda: You are so busted.
She marches right up to him and he gets increasingly scared.
Luke: Oh, man.
Eda: You held a moonlight conjuring.
She gets closer.
Luke: I did.
Eda: And you animated my house. My house!
She gets right in his face and Luke braces himself.
Luke: Uh…will it help if I said it was on accident and we tried to bring a toy to life?
Eda narrowed her eyes, glaring and growling at the goggle-headed boy.
Luke: Should I take the glaring and growling at me with an intent to kill like that as "no"?
Eda: Of course, it's a no!
But before Luke could say anything else Willow and Gus get in front in his defence.
Willow: No! Don't punish Luke. We're the ones who pushed her to do the conjuring.
Gus: If you're gonna eat me, just do it now. Do it now!
Eda looks disgusted at the idea and weirded out by Gus's intensity.
Luke: You didn't have to do that, Willow.
Willow: Yes, Luke. I did.
Eda: Well, you're all guilty, so you'll all be punished by cleaning my house top to bottom. She summons various cleaning supplies that land in the kids' arms. And another thing... The trio gulp in fear only to be surprised when Eda comes up smiling. That was totally amazing. And I'm so joining you for next year's conjuring. Now get to work.
Relieved they're not getting in trouble and excited for next year's conjuring the three of them run off to clean up as Eda flops onto the couch and King struggles to take off his sailor's outfit.
King: I can't believe they animated a whole house.
Eda: Yeah. You're right. That takes some powerful magic.
Eda watches them, wondering just how much potential these three kids possess, especially Luke. Speaking of Luke, he's moping the floor and Willow sprays the wall.
Luke: Talk about a crazy slumber party.
Willow: Boy, I'll say. But it was the best one I've ever had. And Luke…thank you, for setting all this up and for your words back there. I needed to hear them.
Luke: Don't mention it, Will. Remember, what other people think mean nothing. You and Gus have nothing to prove. Though I'm kinda wishing we got to show up Amity and take her down a peg or two.
Willow: Yeah. Too bad no one will know of our daring adventures.
Meanwhile, at Blight manor, Amity was in her room with her friends. To say that their conjuring night was a disappointment would be putting it lightly. Boscha, Cat, Skara, and Amelia were glaring at a stuffed rabbit that was sitting on the floor. They did everything that the book said to do, but they couldn't bring it to life.
Boscha: Ugh! So, what if we couldn't move a doll. Now we have time for what really matters. She summons her scroll. Penstagram.
The other three summon theirs a few seconds after. Amity is brooding, looking out of her window, thinking about how she denied Luke, Willow and Gus an invitation to her conjuring. Boscha gasps in shock getting her attention. She walks over and looks at Boscha's scroll.
Her Penstagram feed has several people's posts showing off Luke, Willow and Gus, and the animated Owl House. Amity and Boscha share a look of total shock and disbelief.
Amity & Boscha: WHAT!?
Booyah! Amity and Boscha just got owned! Luke, Willow and Gus got to have their first conjuring and it's by far superior to any other that has been done!
Up next, while Eda and King babysit the children of their client, the Bat Queen, Luke makes a trip to the library where he discovers Amity has a hidden soft side and meets her older twin siblings, Edric and Emira.
