Owl House Season 2 Episode 1 - Separate Tides
Yo! I'm back! First episode of Owl House Season 2 is ready! New adventures and new mysteries are waiting to be explored. And it's in this season we learn more about Luke's heritage and origins.
Things have changed at the Owl House due to the events of the Petrification Ceremony. Eda's lost her magic; Lilith has begun living at the Owl House and Luke is revealed to be able to transform into a devil. That and with the portal door destroyed, Luke's stranded in the Demon Realm with currently no way back home.
And to make their new lifestyles more adaptable, the gang will have to face some Separate Tides as we're about to see.
Enjoy!
Luke makes his way through a dark cave, holding an orb of light to light the way in one hand and rests Rebellion on his shoulder with the other. His hood is up.
It's been 10 days since the petrification ceremony. Hexside has been closed for a two-week break and with the portal door destroyed the inhabitants of the Owl House have had to resort to taking odd jobs to make money. The gang has had to keep a low profile since the Conformatorium, especially since Luke's battle with Belos and his Devil Form had caused quite an uproar, so he hasn't been able to see his friends. But that won't stop him from hunting monsters and making some quick cash.
Luke stops when he hears a deep laugh echoing around the cave and sees a monstrously hulking shadow on the wall looking down on him.
Garlog: Foolish boy. Who do you think you are!? Leave this place before you meet your demise.
Luke: Garlog I presume? Sorry hornhead. But I'm gonna have cut you to pieces, take your remains and make a jackpot out of the bounty on your head. He thumbs himself. I'm the monster hunter, Luke Noceda! Now let's do this!
Luke gives a battle cry and charges Garlog with his blade only to stop, completely confused. Garlog turns out to be a tiny creature casting a shadow standing in front of a lantern. Luke picks him up and he lets out a squeak trying to escape.
Luke: You've got to be kidding. You're Garlog?
He dismisses Rebellion and brings pulls out his wanted poster, depicting Garlog as being much larger and worth 4,000 snails. The real thing is nowhere near how he's depicted in the poster much to Luke's disappointment.
Luke: This is pathetic. There's no way you're worth 4000 snails. I came to kill a monster and instead I get a let-down. What a total waste of my time and skills.
Garlog: Small I may be, but you will soon know fear when I lay waste to all that you—
He's cut off by King, who eats him whole much to Luke's bemusement.
Luke: King, drop it now. King drops down. Drop him now!
King mumbles and runs off, prompting Luke to chase after him.
Luke: Drop him! We need to collect that bounty! I'm not in the mood to play right now! King!
Owl House Season 2A Intro
The eye of the old portal door opens, engulfed in flames.
Luke drops down with Rebellion and a Glyph Gun, giving his gun a spin and swung his sword as it opens, releasing electricity while he grins.
Eda slides in from her right, spinning her Owl Staff and swinging to release energy. King pops up from her.
Willow emerges and lifts her arms as her eyes glow, summoning huge vines behind.
Gus comes in with a book, summoning two illusions of himself striking poses besides him.
Amity twirls in from her right and with a grin her hands glow with purple energy, summoning Abomination goo.
Lilith slides in from the left, spinning her Raven Staff and swinging to release energy like Eda did. Hooty pops out from her clock backpack.
The Golden Guard flash steps from the left with his Artificial staff which glows with energy. It disappears for him to draw and swing Yamato, striking a pose and releasing a blade of energy.
A Boiling Isle mural appears, three windows flipping to briefly reveal Qrow, Darius and Eberwolf. The windows flip to reveal Qrow in his Devil Form, Darius in his Abomination form and Eberwolf in his Beast form.
Belos appears striking a powerful pose, his castle behind him as lightning strikes
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 plant 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: Son of Sparda
Luke's in his room at the Owl House where he's stuffed Garlog in a bottle so he can't escape while Luke sets his phone against it to make his video log. He can't send these to his mom anymore, but they help him cope with the fact he destroyed the portal door and stuck with no way to see his mom.
Luke: He turns on the phone camera. Hola, Mama! You haven't heard from me in a while. It's been a week and a half since the petrification ceremony. A week and a half since I…sorta destroyed the portal home. But I had no other choice. Emperor Belos was going to kill Eda and Amity if I didn't hand it over. But I couldn't let him use it to invade Earth. I had to protect you and our realm… so I may have blew it up. I'll tell you how later. This world is filled with awesome magic and wonders but it's just as hard and realistic as Earth. Nothing like my fantasies in books and movies. Don't worry, Mom, it's not so bad here. Once you get past the crazy monsters that try to kill you, this world is pretty cool. But I do miss you which is why I'm doing everything I can to get home. Even though the Portal Door is gone, I still have its key! Luke presents the Portal Key. Not sure if this thing contains magic, but it was connected to the old portal door so it's my best shot in figuring out how to get home. I've got a lot of friends I've made here that I'm dying to introduce you too. They're doing what they can to help me get home. Here's one now. He lifts a leg to show King clutched onto it. This is King, the self-proclaimed King of Demons.
King: I'm never letting you go! You're never returning to the human realm! I'm going to do everything I can to make sure you stay stuck here FOREVER!
Luke: Luke nervously chuckles. Uh…he doesn't mean that.
King: Yes, I do!
Luke: Right. King, bud, not that I don't appreciate your affection, but could you let go of my leg?
King: No!
Luke: Now.
King: Never!
Luke: Get your clinging claws off my leg, or I'm kicking you out the door.
King: Oh, come on. We both know you wouldn't do that.
King is literally kicked out the door, landing and facing upside down.
King: Ow!
Luke walks out still recording and King speaks to the camera.
King: I will say this. Your son is true to his word.
Luke: I know how this looks but compared to the beating I give out at home; he's getting off easy. He's lucky I didn't kick him out the window.
Luke quickly changes the video to that of Eda in the kitchen, where she is trying to cast magic, moving around her fingers to create orange energy.
Luke: This is my mentor, Eda the Owl Lady, the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles. Eda tries to magically pour a jar of Apple blood into a cup. Or at least she was until her curse overpowered her and weakened her magic. Her magic fails and Apple Blood explodes over her face. But that's not stopping her from doing her best. And over the weeks I've been here she's become a second mom to me. I think you'd like her. Trust me when I say that I know at first glance she might seem full of it, grouchy and hopelessly immature for an old lady, but once you get to know her…well…okay, she's definitely full of it, grouchy and hopelessly immature for an old lady.
Eda: I can hear you!
Luke: It occurs to me that she can hear me. I should leave.
Luke changes the video. It now showed Lilith in a new outfit as she put her old dress away in a briefcase. Lilith now wore the bottom half of one of Eda's dresses and a light beige shirt with short sleeves and an almost empty battery symbol on the front. She also wore black laced boots.
Luke: This sourpuss is Lilith, Eda's equally grumpy and slightly less foxy older sister.
Lilith turns her head slightly as she finishes putting her dress in.
Lilith: You know I can hear you, right, human?
Luke: Lilith solemnly closes the briefcase. Believe it or not, Lilith was the one who cursed Eda by accident. And she spent her entire life looking for a way to make things right. Lilith stares out of the open window pensively, a small smile appearing on her face as Luke narrates. I can't say I completely trust her since she tried to kill me and almost got Eda petrified, but she betrayed the emperor to save her sister and even cast a spell to share half of the curse even though it meant she'd lose her magic too. I'd say that's enough to at least give her chance. Right now, I see her as a friend and who knows… I might see her as family too. Of course, if she ever thinks of pulling a stunt like that again, there's no healing spell conjured that'll be able to fix what I do to her.
A look of fear was plastered on Lilith as she shivers upon still being able to hear him. She jumps when Hooty appears in the window right in her face.
Hooty: Hello!
Lilith screams and slams the window in Hooty's face.
Luke: And…that's Hooty. Our annoying and brain dead yet questionably lovable house demon. He's pretty much the Owl House itself. Don't ask.
The scenes changes to outside where Eda is seen constructing something.
Luke: Even though Eda's a cranky old lady, she's found new ways to make up for her lost powers.
Eda presents a makeshift spear using a broken piece of an old harpoon and a net.
Eda: Check it, Luke! A new hunting weapon. I will call her the Stab-Catcher.
Luke: Without the portal, Eda has no human junk to sell anymore. So, we've been working odd jobs to keep food on the table.
Eda grins at King and prepares to toss her weapon.
Eda: Hey, King, did you know that apple is a hat?
King: Really?
King puts an apple on his head, not knowing he's standing behind a target. Luke rushes over, dropping the camera.
Luke (video): King, no! That's not a hat!
Luke quickly gets King out of harms way just as Eda tosses the weapon and it makes a bullseye.
Luke: This week we're bounty hunters. Next week we could be anything.
We go back to Luke in his room.
Luke: Don't worry mom. I can take care of myself, and I've got good company here. I'm a Witch-Warrior now and I'm gonna do everything I can to come back home. And when I do come back, I'll be a way better son than that dumb summer camp could've ever made me. Te quiero, Mama. Te lo prometo, regresaré a casa pronto (I love you mom. I promise you; I'll be back home soon).
Luke saved the video and pressed send. And as usual it failed since he has no wi-fi or data anymore with his link to the Human World gone. But he wasn't too sad, "talking" to his mom even through videos he can't send makes him better and helps him cope.
Eda: Luke! Luke looks out the window to see Eda and Lilith waiting outside. Eda holds up a bottled creature. Time to bring these bad boys to market!
Lilith: Lilith grunts as she pats feathers off herself. Eda, do you own anything that isn't covered in feathers?
Eda: I had to deal with a curse for 30 years, so I think you can handle a few feathers.
After a short wagon ride into Bonesborough, the group had noticed a lot of changes that had happened since the petrification ceremony. Belos wanted to remind everyone that he was still in power by making a large statue of himself with more guard posts, symbols of his coven everywhere, and recruitment posters on nearly every wall. Luke and Eda are quite uncomfortable with these changes.
Luke: Man, the Emperor is really taking over. The entire market's full of tools.
Eda: I see it too, Luke. And I'm trying to stay civil.
She kicks a demon decked out in Emperor's Coven merchandise and sends him flying.
Luke: If that was civil, I hate to see unreasonable. I wonder why these guys aren't chasing us like they used to.
Eda: Probably because since my magic is gone Belos no longer sees any reason to come after me.
Luke: Damn, that's cold. That must be insulting for you.
Eda: Meh. I can live with it. At least now I can collect my money in peace.
Luke and Eda arrive at the bounty stand which is run by a red dog-faced demon. Eda places the bag of captured demons on a scale. She and Luke wait while the shopkeeper read the scale and made his calculations. Luke had one arm rested on the booth while Eda happily stood with her hands on her hips.
Shopkeeper: Tsk. Your payment.
The shopkeeper offered…
Eda: A SINGLE SNAIL!? Are you kidding me?
Luke is equally outraged.
Luke: DUDE! You can't be serious, man!
Shopkeeper: The shopkeeper laughs. Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't done yet.
Out of spite he snaps the snail in half. He flips it to Eda only for Luke to angrily catch it, growling before slamming the booth with his fist, attracting a crowd.
Luke: YOU SWINDLING PIECE OF CRAP! You owe us WAY more than this!
Eda: Yeah! You can't do this to us! Do you know who I am?
Shopkeeper: Yeah, you're Eda the Owl Lady. What are you gonna do? We all know you're powerless now.
Eda growls and tries to cast a spell, but the spell circle disintegrates much to her dismay, earning her pity and a couple mockery from the crowd, one commenting how awkward this is. Eda angrily turns to them.
Eda: I don't need your pity! She holds up her old wanted poster. I was the most wanted criminal for years! You should fear me!
A passing garbageman grabs her wanted poster and puts it in the trash cart he's pushing. The crowd walks away, mocking Eda for losing her criminal status and magic. The shopkeeper decides to rub it in more.
Shopekeeper: And we all know your human servant can't do magic.
Luke slams his hands on the booth glaring daggers at the shopkeeper.
Luke: Listen buddy! 1. I'm not her servant! I'm her apprentice! 2. If you don't give us the money, we worked out butts off to get I'm gonna rip you apart!
Shopkeeper: Oh, and how do you plan to do that, kid? You gonna go devil on me? I bet you don't know how to do it.
Luke: Oh yeah! Watch me!
Luke takes a deep breath, crossing his arms trying to concentrate hard before spreading his arms, grunting heavily with effort as he tries to transform.
Eda: Uh…kid, what are you doing?
Luke: Shh! I'm trying to concentrate! This is how transformations happen in my movies.
Eda could only watch in confusion and the shopkeeper is unimpressed as Luke continues grunting and growling heavily and forcing himself to become devil Luke, veins appearing on his face which turn red. Luke screams out into the air and when it all ends, he's just panting, tired from the screaming.
Luke: Did I do it? Did I change into Devil Luke!
Eda: Eda deadpans at her student. No, your face went red and you screamed into the air. Nothing happened.
Luke: Oh, come on! They make these transformation things look so easy on Dragon Ball Z.
Shopkeeper: I arrest my case. All you humans are all talk. What can you possibly do to me?
Eda grins as Luke goes red with pure rage over these insults.
Eda: You should've given us are money when you had the chance buddy.
Luke fires a grappling hook from his Glyph Gun that ensnares and squeezes the shopkeeper's neck, causing him to choke on his breath, Luke pulls his face to him, glaring him dead in the eyes.
Luke: All talk, huh! I'll show you who's ALL TALK!
Luke clutches his gun harder, and the claw strangles the shopkeeper, who's struggling to breathe as his choking becomes more agonized. Luke grabs the back of his head and slams his face down the booth a couple times, denting it a little. He grabs his neck with his bare hand, pulling him in and positioning his gun right near him. Eda watches her student proudly as he socks the shopkeeper in the face with his gun, giving him a black eye while choking him even more.
Luke: Listen pal. I've been in a really bad mood ever since the petrification ceremony. And the last thing you wanna do is to piss me off more than I am right now. Now, rethink your choice and gives us the money we're owed before I fill you up with lead.
Luke moves his gun inches to the shopkeeper's face as he whimpers and chokes in pain and fear.
Eda: I'd listen to him if I were you.
Luke: You've got 5 seconds to give us the money. Then I get mad.
The shopkeeper manages to speak through his choking.
Shopkeeper: Alright! Alright! The shopkeeper manages to reach down and place a large sack of snails on the stand. Here! Here's the money! Please, don't hurt me!
Luke: I'll consider it. Not!
Luke headbutts the rude shopkeeper hard before letting him fall on his back and firing a stun bullet, knocking him out. Eda opens the sack to see A LOT of snails inside.
Eda: Dang! We've hit the jackpot baby! Eda softly punches Luke's shoulder. Aw, great work kid!
Luke: Luke rests his gun on his shoulder. Hey, I learned how to use that scare tactic from the best.
Eda: And you made it even better by adding in your own thing. Even I couldn't get a chump like this to cough up the dough this quick. I've taught you well, apprentice.
Luke: It would've gone better if I went devil. Luke looks at his free hand, frowning with Eda. It's weird, ever since the petrification ceremony I haven't been able to pull off my Devil Trigger. I can't even go Pseudo Devil Trigger anymore.
Eda: Pseudo Devil Trigger?
Luke: Yeah, you know, that form I took until I went full Devil Trigger. My less demonic form.
Eda: Oh. Makes sense.
Luke: Anyway, I can't seem to transform anymore.
Eda: Hmm. Could be a side effect. Plus, what you did at the Conformatorium was likely a one-timer. Luke frowns more but Eda places a hand on his shoulder. Ah, but don't sweat it kid. You're a natural. I'm sure you'll figure it out. You're Luke the Human. Or should I say Luke the Human-Devil?
Eda gives a wink, causing Luke to smile until they overhear a couple demons walking by.
Demon 1: Kinda pathetic the Owl Lady has to rely on a human to get her what she wants.
Demon 2: Yeah, how low can you go?
Luke glares at them for that comment while Eda's face fell, saddened to see how much people have moved on from her. Luke notices and places a comforting hand on her back.
Luke: Hey, come on. Don't listen to those morons, teach. Who cares if you can't use magic? You're still Eda the Owl Lady, the most awesome teacher in the Boiling Isles.
Eda: Eda smiles and ruffles Luke's hair. Aw. Thanks kid. Still, it'd be nice to be feared and respected again.
Lilith and King walk up, the former chuckling a little.
Lilith: Don't worry, sister. At least my image still commands respect and fear.
She poses in front of her Coven recruitment poster in which she is making the same pose. The poster is promptly torched by a garbageman holding a flamethrower much to her disbelief.
King: Ha, ha! You're a traitor.
An outraged Lilith ran over to the garbageman.
Lilith: What's going on?! This is anarchy! Who told you to do this?
Three new Coven recruitment posters fly onto the wall. The pictures are that of the Golden Guard with his arms crossed. Luke grabs one.
Luke: The Golden Guard? He's the new head of the Emperor's Coven? He glares at picture. Man, I really hate this guy. Bastard humiliated me at the Covention and stabbed me twice in the Conformatorium. Not to mention he stole my signature catchphrase. Talk about a total douchebag!
Lilith: Lilith angrily takes the poster. I couldn't agree with you more, Luke. I pity you had to even meet in the first place.
Luke: You knew the Golden Guard, right, Lilith?
Lilith: Unfortunately, I did since we worked in the same coven. He always got special treatment because he was the "genius teen prodigy". She crunches and balls the poster. But he's really just a brat. If he's in charge... vomit.
Lilith throws it to a trashcan. It magically hovers right before entering and then flies back, adhering itself to Lilith's face. She tries to rip it off but gives up as it's stuck and stalks off with a groan. Eda proceeds to do the same until Luke wraps him in a side hug.
Luke: Come on ladies. So, the emperor's coven has a bit of an edge on us right now, so what? We can get through this. Ooh! I know! Maybe a totally epic adventure will give us a confidence boost. Let's take on the biggest bounty we can find.
He runs up to a bulletin board labelled "Greg's List" and reads the posters there.
Luke: Let's see. Lost Cerberus? Nerp. Witch cackling lessons? Hell no. He gasps in excitement when he sees another. Jackpot!
He takes the poster down and presents a photo of a large, strange beast that looked like the mix of a walrus, hippo, and whale. It was worth 1,000,000 snails, a large and very genius bounty.
Luke: Let's go after this guy. There's something called a "Selkidomus" ravaging boats up and down the coast. He's worth a million snails. Who's up for a dangerous high seas adventure!?
Eda: Hmm...tempting, but no.
Luke: Luke's face fell in disappointment. Okay, who are you and what have you done with my epic teacher.
Eda: Eda walks up to Luke. Kid, listen. I'd love nothing more than to go on a big and possibly life-threatening adventure, especially on sea. But we gotta keep a low profile while my powers are weakened. And we need fast cash. How about this guy?
She gestures to a poster of a creature that bemuses Luke. The creature is that of a harmless small pink demon holding a lollipop. It is more adorable than threatening and it's only worth 600 snails. Luke reads its name.
Luke: "The Abominable Cutie Pie"? Eda, you have got to be kidding me.
Eda: No, no, no. I hear it's very dangerous. She gasps and points. And look, there he is.
She points to where the little demon is standing between two Hexside students, a lollipop in his hand. It giggles and runs off, climbing up the emperor's statue.
Abominable Cutie Pie: You'll never catch me!
Luke climbs the statue too and stops in front of it.
Abominable Cutie Pie: You did it. You caught me.
Accepting defeat, it falls into Luke's hands, but he is not the least bit pleased with this catch.
Luke: Buh. You are a disgrace to all good bounty everywhere and a total waste of my skills. Even Garlog's worth more than you. But hey, money's money.
King climbs up to Luke just as they overhear Eda and Lilith talking, the former placing their sack of snails on the wagon with a sigh.
Eda: Things aren't looking great, Lily. Even after owning that creep, this bounty hunting stuff is just barely putting food on the table.
Lilith speaks intelligibly under the poster and Eda understood perfectly.
Eda: Oh, I'm sure Luke could handle bigger bounties. I know he can handle anything. He's a tough kid, he more than proved that against Belos. But if we wanna eat we don't have the luxury to mess up even once.
Lilith responds intelligible under the poster. Eda sat down next to her sister.
Eda: No apple blood. I spent the money on griffin eggs for Luke. There's not a lot he can digest here, so I make sure to have his favourites around.
And with that said, the sisters head off. Luke feels profound guilt to hear how badly Eda's struggling without magic and having to worry constantly about keeping him healthy. Even the Abominable Cutie Pie gives his pity.
Abominable Cutie Pie: That's rough, buddy.
King snatches his lollipop and slaps him down to the ground. Luke lands on top of the Abominable Cutie Pie after jumping to the ground, followed by King.
Luke: Oh man! This sucks! Eda's struggling to make a living and it's all my fault. If I hadn't tried to steal that stupid Healing Hat this never would've happened. She would've been better off if I hadn't come here. Luke looks at his hands before clenching them in determination. I can't change the past, but I can still change the future. I'm gonna help Eda and prove I'm not that fragile! And I'll do it by hitting a REAL jackpot! And there's only one way to find that jackpot!
Luke pulls out the Selkidomus poster.
King: But Luke, Eda said-
Luke: Screw what Eda said! I'm not helpless! And I'm gonna make a boat load of money so Eda can have her apple blood again!
The shopkeeper at the Bounty stand had some ice on his eye after regaining consciousness and yelps in fear when Luke slams the Abominable Cutie Pie in front of him with King riding his shoulders.
Luke: I want 600 snails! And some directions.
At the Bonesborough Dock, Luke slams the Selkidomus's wanted poster onto a barrel. The captain of the ship looked like a mix of a parrot man, fish, and a crab with his red tone, hook beak mouth, and two pointy frills under his chin. He also had a pointy fin on his back, an opened claw for hair, a scar over his right eye, and a crab claw with a white blotch on it for his left hand. His name: Captain Salty.
Luke: The Selkidomus hunt. I want in. Now.
His ship's horns blow.
Salty: You think you can handle this, squirt?
Luke: Dude. I can handle anything. You have no idea what I'm capable of.
Luke gives a fierce glare, showing the fire and determination in his eyes which is something Salty acknowledges. He throws a uniform to Luke which he catches before running up to the ship with King.
What he misses is Salty nodding at his window to someone hidden in the shadow. The figure closes the window of his quarters bearing the emperor's sigil.
Back at the Owl House Lilith is sat on the couch staring at the burnt poster of herself, dejected over how low she's sunk. She used to be Head of the Emperor's Coven, respected, feared and loved. Now she's become an outlaw, banished from the coven she dreamed of joining her entire life, her ranking and sense of belonging stripped from her. She doesn't regret betraying the emperor to save her sister, but it will take time for her to get used to the new course her life has taken now she's banished from the Emperor's Coven and has lost her magic.
Eda suddenly pops up next to her, wearing a bandolier of potions.
Eda: Hey, Lily! She shows off her bandolier, striking a sexy pose. How do I look?
Lilith: Uh...
Eda: She flops onto the couch. Getting scorned at the market was such a bummer, but it gave me an idea on how to earn a little more cash. You wanna come? I may not be at full power, but I can still make…potions!
She disgusts Lilith by dangling a potion with a skull inside over her head, prompting her older sister to push her away.
Lilith: I am quite fine. Thank you.
Eda: Alright. She walks to the door, pointing. Have fun wallowing in self-pity and feeling bad for cursing me and betraying Sparda. Bye-eeee!
And with that, Eda takes her leave, leaving Lilith to rip out the poster bits on her hair with a sigh, lying down to wallow in self-pity over her actions that ruined her younger sister's life and cost the life of their best friend.
Lilith: I guess I deserve this.
She moves the poster down, remembering what happened between her and Eda after sharing the curse.
(Flashback)
On the night they escaped the Petrification Ceremony, Eda and Lilith are stood in front of the mirrors, staring at their reflections.
Eda: Look at us. We've become grown woman.
Lilith: Lilith grins. I've become a grown woman. You've become an old lady.
Eda: I am not!
Lilith: You look like Mom.
Eda: Eda shudders. Don't say that.
The two sisters share a laugh, but things quickly get tense when Eda looks away with a frown and Lilith looks down in guilt and fear of rejection. Nevertheless, she looks to her sister.
Lilith: Edalyn, listen, I just want to tell you that…I'm sorry…for everything.
Eda: Eda just crosses her arms, refusing to make eye contact. Look, I'm glad you're okay and I'm grateful you helped Luke save me, I really am, but it's a little too late for sorry.
Lilith: I know, I know. I cursed you, I ruined your life, I sided with Belos over my family and friends, I betrayed Sparda and got him killed, I hunted you down for years, I almost killed your human, I almost got you petrified and…and… She falters and stops when she sees Eda deadpanning in bemusement, causing Lilith to sheepishly rub her arm. I'm just digging myself deeper, aren't I?
Eda: Ya think?
Lilith: Eda, I truly am sorry. I've done terrible things. I betrayed you. But I swear I will spend the rest of my life trying to make things right.
Eda: Eda looks away again. I wanna believe you Lily, I really do. I want to say that you heart was in the right place…but I don't know where it was when you ratted out Sparda to Belos.
Lilith looks down in shame, knowing Eda will not let her live that down. The Owl Lady walks over to some boxes, putting some of her stuff inside it. Lilith walks over.
Lilith: What are you doing?
Eda: Need to settle back in and reorganise some stuff.
Lilith: Is there anything I can do to help?
Eda: Eda coldly walks past. No. If I wanted your help I'd have asked for it. Lilith watches as Eda places the box on her desk, checking through it. For now, just stay out of the way. Wouldn't want you "accidentally" cursing anyone else now, would we?
Lilith feeling hurt and unwanted looks away.
Lilith: I…think I'll just take my leave before I make this more awkward.
Eda: And where exactly do you think you're going? Lilith stops, surprised. Do you have anywhere to go?
Lilith: She turns around. Well…no…
Eda: Then you might as well stay here. If anyone from the emperor's coven spots you, they'll try to capture you.
Lilith is surprised by Eda's sudden care for her safety.
Lilith: Are you sure?
Eda: Even though I don't completely trust you… Eda finally, turns finally smiling and making eye contact with Lilith. You're still my sister Lily. And I still care about you. Plus…you did sacrifice everything you worked for to save me from being petrified in the end… even spent your whole life looking for a way to cure me, albeit in a messed-up way, but still. Eda walks up to her sister. Luke and King explained to me what you told them.
Eda frowns and Lilith looks down in guilt again.
Lilith: I'm so sorry.
Eda: It's…a lot for me to process at the moment. I get why you cursed me in the first place now and I appreciate you spent your whole life trying to cure me, but I just can't accept the things you did along the way, including betraying Sparda.
Lilith: I know. You shouldn't have to. I crossed many lines, especially when I betrayed Sparda. I was a fool. I-
Eda: I don't know if I'll be able to forgive you…Lilith looks down, disheartened until Eda smiles again. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't try. Lilith looks up. So. for now…I'm willing to let you crash here and give you a chance to prove your trustworthy. We'll take it one day at a time and work things from there. How does that sound?
Lilith: Lilith smiles back, near tears. Nothing would make me happier. I know I have a lot to make up for. But I hope I can earn back your trust. Thank you, Edalyn.
Before Eda could respond Lilith embraces her in a hug, much to her surprise.
Lilith: And I just want you to know, sister, despite the tension that had been going on between us for the past 14 years…I've missed you.
Eda: Eda smiles and hugs her sister back. I've missed you too…sis.
(End of Flashback)
Ever since their talk, things between the Clawthorne Sisters have become stable now. After a week of awkward reconnecting, Eda has begun talking to Lilith more regularly and they threw jokes at each other like they used to when they were kids…but Lilith can't help but feel she still hasn't earned back her full trust. And she can't blame her after everything the former coven head has done. She wants nothing more than to atone for her mistakes and make it up to Eda.
Lilith: There's gotta be a way to make it up to her. She spots a potions book in the shelf, an idea coming to mind. She grabs it. Edalyn isn't the only Clawthorne with a talent for potions. She opens it, stopping at a page about a Scrying Potion. Ooh. I bet she would love a peek inside the castle.
Lilith rips the page out and starts backing away, straight into Hooty.
Hooty: New roomie check-in! Lilith screams, falls and drops the book and page which fell on Hooty. How's my bestie doing? He notices the page on his face. A scrying potion!? Lulu, you're trying to spy on your old buddies? I can help! We can find out their crushes. He rubs his face against Lilith's after she removes the page from her face much to her disgust. We can give them cute couple names!
Lilith: No! She shoves him off. I can do this alone. Don't follow me! She starts to leave. And don't call me Lulu!
And with that said, Lilith sets out to find ingredients.
Hooty: A good friend would respect her wishes, but a better friend would help no matter what!
Ignoring Lilith's demand, Hooty goes after her, closing the door as he goes.
Meanwhile, Luke has begun his high seas adventure. Salty's ship is sailing through the Boiling Sea. It was hotter than expected but that must've been why it was called the Boiling Sea.
His pirate uniform was that of a grunt with a blue scarf that had a white fish on the front wrapped around his head, a purple ascot with a spider head on the front, a dark beige shirt with green lies on the sleeves with a torn rim, and blue pants with torn ends while wearing black flats on his feet. And King rides his shoulder.
Luke: Once we kill the Selkidomus and make that boatload of snails, Eda won't have to worry about money, food and supplies for a LONG TIME.
King: King want a cracker!
Salty: All hands!
Luke joins the rest of the crew, lined up in front of Salty. They were all a mix of different kinds and shapes of demons.
Salty: Alright, crew. The Selkidomus has been ravaging the coastline. It was last seen in the Simmering Shoals. You know the drill, "Snag the quarry. He drops large sack of snails onto the deck. Get the money galore-y." We all do the work; we all get a cut.
Luke smiles at the sight. His goal is within reach. The rest of the crew cheer.
Fish Sailor: I have many debts!
Salty: Till then, keep everything shipshape. This ain't no pleasure cruise. He sternly throws a broom to Luke. Don't be a burden, sea squirt.
Luke: Oh, like I said, you have no idea what this sea squirt is capable of.
From that point on Luke did various work around the ship to prove himself to the captain and the crew.
Task 1: Barnacle Duty
There are barking barnacles on the bottom front of the ship then reveal. Salty offers Luke a scraper. Instead (with King riding his shoulder), Luke slams a Plant Glyph on the edge and dives down, using the vines as a harness. The barnacles bark furiously at Luke, but he gives an intimidating growl that shuts them up. Luke uses King's horn to scrape them off the ship.
Task 2: Engineer Maintenance
At the bellows of the ship, Salty is shovelling coal in the furnace to speed the ship up. He offers the shovel to Luke, but he shakes his head and pushes it away, fanning out three Fire Glyphs he activates and expertly tosses them into the furnace. When he closes the door, the engines burst with smoke, causing the ship's horn to blow as the ship speeds up. Salty, covered in soot from the smoke smiles and gives a nod of respect to the "sea squirt".
Task 3: Scrubbing the Deck
Next task was scrubbing the deck. This task was the easiest and the most fun as Luke used two brushes for skates. He splashed soup on the floor with a bucket, then activates and tosses his Water Glyph to unleash a torrent that combines with the soap, spreading it around. He skates around the deck, scrubbing it with ease, even doing a few tricks that caught the eyes of his crew mates. It looked so much fun; the other's joined him and completed the task in a matter of minutes.
Task 4: Pest Control
This task proved both easy and difficult as Luke shot and stomped any bugs (which were HUGE) he saw until a blue parasite-looking bug crawled up his back and he had to get it off. Something the crew thought was a dance as Luke was doing it in the form of a jig on the boat until he finally knocked it off his back and into the sea, missing King who was eating a cracker while being surrounded by 3 weird looking demon parrots.
Luke shudders after that little experience.
Luke: I officially hate bugs.
Luke is surprised by Salty giving a friendly slap on the back. He sees the captain giving a proud smile along with the crew.
Salty: Well, ye had me confront my own biases and I got nothing but respect for ya now, squirt. I mean, sailor.
Luke: Luke smiles and gives a salute. Thanks, cap. It'd be an honour to serve your crew in another life, Salty. You make me feel like a real part of the crew.
Salty: Well, that's because you ARGGHHH!
He wraps his arm around Luke as he did that, and Luke instantly understood as the captain laughed and the crew cheers for Luke.
Luke: Ohhhh! I see what you did there!
King: Boo!
He waves his cracker in displeasure, thinking Luke is too good to be a pirate. One of the birds tries to grab it from him, provoking a tug of war.
King: Hey, that's mine, you feather duster!
As their fight went on, the boat was rocked by a large wave and King was sent tumbling on the deck. He kept rolling and rolling until he burst through to doors to the captain's quarters and landed on his stomach.
King: Oof! Hey, King want a cracker!
He tries to open the door he spots a box of crackers on the desk much to his delight.
King: Ooh!
King scrambles up the desk and grabs some crackers from the box, eating. He notices a letter below the box. He picks it up and after getting a closer look he finds the Emperor's Coven symbol.
King: Is that the Emperor's sigil?
Turning up the flame of the lantern, King saw that the room of full items that represented the coven or items with the coven's symbol on them. Meaning that this ship belonged to Belos and they were in a possible trap
King: This ship belongs to the Emperor? Oh, boy. I gotta tell Luke.
?: Unfortunately, you won't have the chance.
King turns to see a shadow approach him and screams when he gets caught in a cloth.
(Timeskip)
Lilith is searching for recipes to create the Scrying Potion. The final ingredient: Fire Bee honey. She found a lot of that guarded by an army of Fire Bees that try to attack her. Out of panic she tries to cast an ice spell only for it to fail due to her weakened magic. She's forced to take cover and wallows in despair to see how hopeless this mission is without her magic. To her frustration and anger Hooty had followed her, offering his help and advice only for Lilith to blow up at him, saying she needs to do this alone, that he doesn't understand her suffering and she needs to prove she's still a witch with or without magic. A saddened Hooty finally accepts Lilith's decision and leaves. The former coven head picks up a branch and prepares to attack again.
Meanwhile, back on Salty's ship, Luke doesn't seem to have noticed King is missing and after another hour of sailing the crew enters darker waters, having arrived at their destination.
Salty: We're here. The Simmering Shoals. Eyes peeled, mates.
One of the crew take this literally and peeled his eyelids back before tying them behind his head like a blindfold. The ship sail pasts the burning remains of another ship destroyed by the Selkidomus. A few sailors take off their hats and pay respects, Luke gives a silent prayer too as they all stood by the railings.
Salty: She's close.
His hunch was right as suddenly, a large blue tail came from the water and smacked the ship! The ship shook wildly as some of the crew grabbed the side to stay up.
Luke: She's here!
As the sea beast came around the boat with its back poking out of the water like a shark, the crew began to throw spears at it, but the Selkidomus dived to dodge them. The sea beast rose with a spin and puffed up with its spike covered belly showing. It fired the spikes like cannons as several crew members ducked, but the one with the clam for a head was hit as his head was knocked off. Fortunately, Luke wasn't surprised as he's seen this happen to Eda before.
The human boy jumps on the railing, summoning and spinning his Glyph Guns.
Luke: Showtime.
The Guns are set to Fire and Electric mode. Luke fires rapid shots of fire and electricity. The Selkidomus swam around, barely dodging getting burned and electrocuted.
Luke switches to Rebellion and sets it to Electric mode, launching fiery bolt of blue electricity that engulfs the Selkidomus and causes it to roar in pain. It does a 180 and charges the ship in anger.
The crew watched in awe as Luke dismisses Rebellion and fans out 3 Ice Glyphs, tossing 2 at the water in front of the ship, forming 2 huge icebergs that protect the ship and force the Selkidomus to turn. He threw another glyph to form a large ice wall that blocks the beast's escape when it smashes into it and exposes it.
Luke smacks 2 Plant Glyphs together and ensnares the Selkidomus in huge vines. He pulls his hardest and pushes his legs against the railings, preventing it from escaping.
Salty: Help him, boys! Put your backs into it.
The crew pulls with Luke, forcing the Selkidomus out of the water and sticking it against the ship. Luke ties the vine onto the ship.
Luke: We got it!
The victory is cut short when a sudden explosion rocks the ship and causes Luke to fall on his back. The crew fell to the deck and the Selkidomus was able to break free and swim away. Luke opens his eyes to see a silhouette of someone dressed as pirate carrying a bag of money and throwing it off. Luke got up.
Salty: Is that a—a ghost pirate?
Luke: The money! We're being robbed!
The thief jumps off the ship onto a speedboat that looks like a bathtub with a propeller attached to it as an engine and heads to a nearby island. Luke summons a boat-shaped block of ice, jumps on, and attached two fire glyphs to the back of the block. The ignite and sends him blasting off after the thief. Salty laughs in excitement.
Salty: Show that spectre what for, Luke.
The thief has arrived on an island with a cave and Luke closes in on the shore. The ice has melted to shape of skateboard which Luke is riding with a Fire Glyph in hand, aimed backwards to propel him at high speed.
Luke: Almost there!
When gets close enough to shore he spots the thief with the sack of snails.
Luke: There you are!
Luke leapt off just as the board melted and tackles the thief, causing the money to be dropped at the shore. And to both their great dismay the money gets washed away.
Luke & Thief: The money!
The thief's eyes are gold and grey and dressed like a pirate captain. Luke can tell the thief is a woman and he recognises the eyes anywhere. He slaps off her hat, revealing it's Eda with her hair done in a ponytail.
Luke: Eda!
Eda: Eda chuckles sheepishly. Hey.
Luke: Why are you robbing our ship? And what happened to your legs?
Eda puts her hat back on and sees her legs are still missing. She snaps her fingers, and her legs get out of the tub and reattach to her.
Eda: It's called "disguising your tracks". She stood up and looks to Luke. Now, why were you on that ship to begin with?
Luke: I joined in on the Selkidomus hunt to make a million snails!
Eda: Are you crazy!? You coulda gotten killed!
Suddenly, the ground began to rumble as the boiling sea ruptured before forming a fist with someone inside it. The first crashed down on the beach and revealed the person to be the Golden Guard, kneeling with a staff in his left hand and a covered cage in his right hand. He raises his head with steam coming from his body and the eye holes of his mask.
Golden Guard: That can still be arranged.
Luke and Eda exchange worried glances.
Luke: Oh, crap.
Luke and Eda manage to regain their composure and glare at the Golden Guard as he stood with the wind breezing his cloak.
Luke: Not you again.
Golden Guard: Hello, criminals. What's about happen should be relatively painless if you just do what I say.
Luke: Dude is that seriously your opening line for everyone you meet? And why the hell should we listen to a lapdog like you?
Golden Guard: Because none of you can use real magic. And the human isn't able to turn into a devil right now.
Eda: You don't know that.
Golden Guard: Maybe not. But I do know you're standing on a plant that eats flesh.
Luke and Eda look down to see they're stood on some kind of plant burning their feet which they can tell by the smoke coming from them. They shout in horror and jump off, hopping around the ground, desperately trying to cool their feet down. The Golden Guard laughs at the hilarious scene.
Golden Guard: Okay. The human will remain a sailor to repay all the money he lost, while the Owl Lady will be arrested again, for attacking one of the emperor's ships.
Luke: Emperor's ships?
Eda: They're the only one's worth robbing. She looks back to the Golden Guard. Why are you guys hunting the Selkidomus? It's a peaceful creature and you're provoking it.
Golden Guard: The emperor ordered me to slay one. I'm just following orders.
Eda: Well, I'm just gonna smack you around a bit!
Eda summons her staff and lunges at the Golden Guard, launching a couple of swings the guard lazily dodges while holding his staff on both shoulders before tripping her up with a kick to the neck. Eda hits the sand hard.
Golden Guard: Not so tough without magic, are you Owl Lady.
Luke: Back off, you bastard!
Luke with Rebellion leapt at the Golden Guard to slash him only for the scout to instantly dismiss his staff, gets out Yamato (sheathed) and deflect with a swing, forcing Luke back before slamming his sheathed katana into Luke's stomach, sending him flying.
However, Luke manages to grab and yank the scabbard out of Yamato, surprising the Golden Guard. Luke spun and tossed the scabbard at the guard. The Golden Guard aims his katana and it's sheathed in but the force from Luke's throw causes him to skid backwards, the handle of his sword pressed against his stomach. He glares at Luke as the human landed on his feet, returning it.
Luke charges the Golden Guard only for him to flash-step and slam Yamata against Luke who blocks with Rebellion but is slid across the sand, barely managing to hold his ground. The Golden Guard holds Luke back with one hand on his sword while Luke uses both to hold his sword in their deadlock, sparks grinding from their blades.
Golden Guard: What's wrong? That all you got human?
Luke: Come on Golden Chump! Let's do this!
Golden Guard: Aren't you gonna go devil on me?
Luke: I would if I knew how!
Golden Guard: Welp, sucks to be you then.
The Golden Guard sweeps Luke off his feet with his scabbard, followed with a slice from his katana. Luke's sword takes the hit, but the human boy is sent bouncing off the sand and landing right by Eda.
The Golden Guard powers his staff after sheathing Yamato and resummoning it.
Golden Guard: How about... He aims at Luke and Eda as it glows. I leave you dangling above the Boiling Sea?!
He manipulates the land to move them directly above the steaming waters. It bubbles as it releases a large amount of steam.
Golden Guard: Around these parts, just the steam is enough to cause third-degree burns. He magically brings them back to land. But I don't have to be that mean. They drop to the sand. No one will have to be a sailor or get arrested, if one of you follows those Selkidomus tracks and slays the beast. And also bring me some of its scales as proof. Here! I'll help!
The Golden Guard used his staff to magically recover Rebellion and Eda's staff, dropping them in front of Luke and Eda, both giving a glare.
Luke: If the Selkidomus really is a peaceful creature…then go to hell! You can slay it yourself.
Golden Guard: Ugh…you're making this difficult...go, or I drown the bird.
The Golden Guard lifts up the birdcage and pulls the shade aside, revealing King.
King: Weh? The Golden Guard drops the shade. Ah, it's dark now.
Luke's face fell, groaning in anger. If he tries to fight back now, King will get tossed into the Boiling Sea. There was no other choice now.
Luke: Fine. He stood and picks up Rebellion. I'll do it.
Eda: Luke, wait! Luke!
Luke ignores his mentor and just follows the trail into the cave to unwillingly slay the Selkidomus
(Timeskip)
Lilith continues her attempts to fight off the Fire Bees only to end in failure once again. Realizing the extent of her powerlessness and acknowledging she needs help which she cries out for, Hooty comes to her aid and fights off the Fire Bee with serious skills, demonstrating amazing resilience much to Lilith's amazement.
Entering the cave, the duo of Luke and Eda saw it was disgusting and slimy with pillars of rotting titan flesh, barnacles and coral growing on the walls or pillars. Other wrecked ships were inside while a large hole that led to a deeper part of the cave was in the middle. Luke clutched Rebellion tightly as he made his way through with Eda following.
Eda: Luke, don't hurt the Selkidomus. We can find another way out of this.
Luke: It's not like I have a choice, Eda. If I don't do what the asshole says you're gonna get arrested again and King's gonna get boiled alive. I have to do this ALONE.
Luke jumps onto the slanted mast of the wrecked ship, carefully walking on it.
Eda: What's this "alone" business? Don't you remember? Us weirdos have to—
Luke: What? Stick together? Well, guess what Owl Lady. Because you stuck with me, you lost your magic. You almost got turned to stone, and now you can't even afford your apple blood because you're worried about what I need to eat.
Eda could only sadden at the sight of her student/surrogate son's usually carefree face filled with guilt.
Eda: Luke…
That's disturbed when the Selkidomus roar is heard below.
Luke: It was my stupid stunt in stealing the healing hat that caused all this. If I hadn't done that, you wouldn't have needed to get caught to save me and none of this would've happened. You were better off not meeting me. It's my fault your powers are gone. I ruined your life, so it's up to me to fix it. That's why I've got to do this alone. Luke gives his mentor a smile. I'll make it all up to you, Eda the Owl Lady. I promise.
Luke crosses his arms before falling backwards, down into the Selkidomus' den.
Eda: Luke!
The human landed on the soft ground before realizing it wasn't the ground but on the head of the Selkidomus as its eyes glowed in the darkness.
Luke: Uh oh.
The creature tossed Luke back and threw him off its body. He lands upside-down against a bush of seaweed. The Selkidomus puffs its chest as it roars and its eyes glow, preparing to unleash its spikes. Luke grabs Rebellion and rolls behind a piece of wood stuck to the ground. The creature sends out a barrage, a lot of them fly by and some damage the plank. Luke came out of hiding, getting in a battle stance and brought out an Ice Glyph.
Luke: All right you blubbery bastard, let's do this.
Luke charges and summons an ice pillar sending him rocketing into the air. With a battle cry he prepares to slash the creature. But right as they were about to clash, Eda swung in with a rope and grabbed Luke, sending them both inside of the seaweed bush as her hat fell off. Luke got up and Eda gets right in his face.
Eda: You think throwing your life away is gonna help me? Well, it won't. You helped me find King's crown when you barely knew me. You saved me from turning to stone and you even got me talking to my sister again. And yeah, I lost my magic saving you. But guess what, I don't care. You wanna know why? Because it was MY power and MY choice. And I'm happy knowing I used the last of it saving someone I care about. She gently rubs Luke's face. Someone I treasure and I'd give my life for. So, unfortunately for you, my life is pretty great, because I'm friends with… no… because I've found a son in Luke the Human.
Luke starts tearing up and sniffs a little, feeling a great weight be lifted off his shoulders to hear how much he means to Eda and that she holds no contempt towards him, his voice breaking.
Luke: Eda…
He stops when Eda grabs his cheeks.
Eda: Now, your guilt-ridden brain is clouding your judgment. There's gotta be a way out of this, where no one has to get hurt.
Suddenly, a shrill noise caught their attention as they looked back to see a small, round baby Selkidomus was right behind them with a small glowing plant sprout on its head. The baby looked up to them with an innocent look on its face.
Luke: A baby Selkidomus. Luke gasps and grins at his teacher. Eda, do you want to learn your first glyph?
He presents Eda a Plant-Glyph, an idea in mind.
Outside of the cave, the Golden Guard waited for the duo to get the job done while playing with the cover of the cage that held King. The little demon acting exactly like a bird as he woke up every time, he lifted the cover and went to sleep after he let it down. The Golden Guard gives a rather genuine laugh.
Golden Guard: You're actually weirdly endearing.
King: No, I'm not.
The Golden Guard looks up and sees shadows on the wall of Eda and Luke fighting the Selkidomus. The battle ends with Eda getting knocked down Luke beheading the beast and its flailing body releases blood. He begins dragging her head into the Golden Guard's view.
Golden Guard: Ugh! That thing smells awful. Why are you touching it with your hands? Gross.
Luke: Shut up! Here's your stupid scales. Luke tosses some scales and they slide in front of the Golden Guard. I've held my end of the bargain! Now hand over the furball!
Golden Guard: Actually, he smells pretty bad too. Take him.
He tosses Luke King's birdcage. After checking to he's save Luke glares at Golden Guard as he picks up the scales and hides them in his cloak before walking off.
Golden Guard: Thank you for your service. You can find your own way home. When he gets to the edge he summons his staff. And try to stay out of trouble. The Emperor is not a merciful man. BYE-EEEEEE!
With a silly goodbye, the Golden Guard got on his staff and blasted off in a trail of red magic.
Luke: Right back at ya in a rude way, buddy!
Luke blows a raspberry. After releasing King from his cage they saw Eda was inside drawing a light glyph and next to her was a fake Selkidomus made from seaweed that she controlled with Plant Glyphs thanks to a quick lesson from Luke. The Light Glyphs created a shadow that made it seem like a real Selkidomus and the fake one was cut in half. She activates one last Light Glyph, presenting a light orb to Luke.
Eda: My first glyph. Did I do good?
Luke: Hell yeah! You nailed it!
The real Selkidomus and her baby arrive, the latter hops over to Luke and hugs him which he gladly returns with a laugh while King recoils in confusion.
Luke: Hey, pal! Awww.
King: Wait, what is that?
Eda: Don't worry, King. Once the mother saw we weren't a threat to her baby, she calmed down. They all look to the Selkidomus. This area is dangerous. You need to move further out into the sea.
The mother nodded in understanding to Eda, knowing that they might return for her again if she and her child stays, before it suddenly began...regurgitating something. A disturbed Luke and Eda watch the beast spit out…liquid gold? For some reason, Eda was jumping with joy.
Luke: What am I looking at?
Eda: Hot dang! It gave you the treasure of the sea.
Luke: Liquid gold? Or is it tuna?
Eda: It's Selkigris. Eda takes a handful of Selkigris. Ah, people pay big money for it at the Night Market.
Before Luke could reply, Eda had begun rubbing some on his face.
Eda: Ah, feel that money, Luke. Luxuriate in it.
Luke: No, Eda! Stop!
Eda: Luke shoves her off, but Eda held onto his hands. What, you don't like to luxuriate? There's a whole pile of luxury right in here.
Luke: No, no, no, no, no!
Eda throws Luke into the Selkigris, and he's buried in it, unable to get out.
Eda: Move over!
Eda jumps in, flattening the pile and burying both Luke and King. The two emerge, covered in the stuff.
Luke: Eda!
Luke and Eda share a hysterical laughter except King who hides his disturbance when he brings out a skull from the pile.
Luke: Huh. This stuff is actually kinda nice. It's making my skin feel soft.
The two rub their hands together, noticing how smooth their skins feel.
Eda: Hey, you're right.
Luke: Ooh! I've never known or felt such softness!
Back at the Owl House, Lilith is putting ointment on Hooty who's covered in bee stings after defending Lilith from the Fire Bees. A cauldron with all the ingredients mixed together is brewing on the table.
Lilith: I'm sorry for sending you away before. It's hard for me to ask for help.
Hooty: It's okay. I'm sorry for being all nosy-nosy. But hey, Lulu, every friendship comes with its ups and downs. Right, best friend?
Lilith: She winces a little. I'm not commenting on that… After a slight pause, she gives a grin to her new friend. Hootsifer.
Hooty: A nickname?!
With a hoot he laughs joyfully and wraps into a spiral, causing Lilith to smile, having made a disturbing but new friend. Perhaps there may be hope for her new life of crime after all. The cauldron with Lilith's scrying spell finishes brewing. It glows and bubbles.
Lilith: The scrying potion, it's ready.
Luke, Eda and King walk through the door, all exhausted and the former with his bandana off.
Eda: We're home.
She trips over Hooty, surprising Luke and King. Lilith came over, excited.
Lilith: Eda, come here. I have a gift for you. She walks them over to the glowing Scrying potion. To prove that I'm trustworthy, I'm giving you a peek inside the Emperor's Castle.
Everyone watched the Scrying Potion bubbled with an image forming of several Emperor's Coven members just relaxing around in a hallway. Some slouched, one leaned against the wall, and some of them were looking at the scroll while one sat on the floor bored.
Guard 1: 'Sup?
Guard 2: 'Sup?
Luke: This is their elite force? Luke snickers. Wow. The Golden Guard may be a badass fighter, I'll give him that, but he is one lousy leader.
Lilith: I know, right? With him in charge, the entire coven's bound to fall apart.
Luke: So…what are we supposed to do with this?
Lilith: Whatever you want. Don't you see? These troops don't know what to do with themselves. So, go crazy. She sits and lies down on a couch. Pull whatever pranks your heart desires. They're clueless without me.
Eda: OOH! Lily, I couldn't love you more than I do right now! Eda cracks her knuckles. And that Golden Guard... what a chump. Oh, I'm in a good mood. Who wants to get takeout and draw faces on Hooty?
Luke & King: YEAH/YAY!
King: Me, me, me!
Luke: I do! I do! I'll get my permanent marker! Vandalism!
Hooty: Noooooo.
Luke and King run after Eda and Hooty moves over to Lilith who brings him in to whisper.
Lilith: I'll protect you, Hootsifer.
As everyone went about their business to order food for dinner, Scrying Spell began to dive deeper into the castle while the gang is still having their conversation about takeout offscreen.
Eda: Alright, what do we wanna eat?
Luke: Anything but seafood.
King: Crackers.
Eda: We're not ordering crackers.
Hooty: Bees!
Lilith: I'm fine with whatever. Things are starting to feel right again.
Belos is revealed to be in a large chamber with the portal door reconstructed! He was putting a piece on the reconstructed portal to complete the golden eye as his cowl was gone to reveal his long grey hair and mask off. Turning around, Belos placed it back on as he felt someone was gazing at him and he had a good idea of who it was!
Belos: Knock, knock, Son of Sparda.
Things are starting to look up for the Owl House. Eda and Lilith may be without magic, but the gang is already adapting to their new lifestyle physically and financially. Luke's gone back to his confident self, thanks to Eda's reassurance and Lilith is slowly regaining her sister's trust and made an unlikely new friend in Hooty. But Belos has reconstructed the Portal Door. Just what are his plans with it?
Up next, Amity's parents, Odalia and Alador Blight, having found out about her friendship with Luke, Willow and Gus have the three of them expelled from Hexside. With no other choice, Luke is forced to strike a deal with Odalia in order to get back into Hexside and showcase her products…only for it to become life-threatening. Now Amity, Willow and Gus must save their reckless leader before he gets killed…again. And Eda's own recklessness in mastering glyphs has put King in danger and it's up to Lilith to bail her out and teach her sister a valuable lesson.
