Chapter 32: Separate Tides

In a dark cave Luz walks through a dark cave using a light glyph along with holding Eda's staff, she comes across the tall shadow of Garlog who calls her a foolish child while telling her to leave this place before she meets her demise.

"Garlog? What are you doing chasing after that demon Luz? I have seen the wanted posters!" Willow shouted out to concerns from the other residents especially Amity. Even the humans knew this had to be something big judging from the shadow.

Luz cringed thinking about how what she has to face at the start of this season.

Luz holding up the staff makes a dramatic monologue calling her Good Witch Luz the hunter of monsters, she then tells him to eat this sucker while using the staff as like a bazooka.

The humans giggled at this.

She is surprised as she sees the real Garlog smaller than the lantern he is next to which is projecting his shadow.

Not a single mouth was closed at this, "That... Does anyone know who draws the illustrations for these posters?" Willow asked incredulously as this seemed like a downer.

Luz picks him up as he tries to run away while getting out the wanted poster for 4,000 Snails which makes him look more muscular and impressive looking.

The humans laughed at this, "Who wants to bet that Garlog drew that himself?" Eda snickered along with others but Luz muttered calling it muttered.

Luz calls this pathetic, Garlog tries to sound scary saying that small as he maybe she will soon know fear as he lays waste to... he is interrupted by King putting him in his mouth and was now hanging up in the air as Luz was still holding onto Garlog. Luz tells him to drop Garlog now as he runs off with Luz giving chase like he is a pet.

The crowd bursted into laughter as King looked angry and embarrassed, "what does a King of demons have to do to get a little respect here?" King demanded and Luz was still finding this more amusing than her screen self probably was.

The new opening is shown as the eye on the door and key is shown with Luz jumping down from above in her new cloak making use of several light glyphs in a row, Eda is shown in front of her with her staff twirling it around while King shows up posing from her back to her annoyance, Willow comes up from the bottom in front of Eda showing off her plant magic, Gus comes in from the right with a book as he makes two illusions of himself from it and then Amity twirls from the left as the bit transitions from abomination goo coming down from the bottom.

"Wow a new opening and it makes us all look cool..." Luz muttered amazed with agreements from those shown in the opening bit.

Portraits of Lilith looking threatening, the Golden Guard and Kikimora are shown before they turn to show Lilith looking regretful without her cloak, Hunter having his mask partly coming off to show his eye and Kikimora looking menacing.

Audience members were being freaked out by how Kikimora was and Lilith looked sad at herself but was surprised at the look of the Golden Guard, she never saw him unmasked or even without his hood.

They are pulled away with the red glowing claw of Belos as it shows him commanding in front of his castle as lightning strikes.

Most of the audience were freaked out including the Boiling Isles residents who were still coming to terms that their Emperor was not as altruistic and good as they had thought.

The rest of the intro remains the same with Luz flying through the streets and then sending a light glyph up into the sky from the top of the Owl House.

DISNEY

THE OWL HOUSE

Created by Dana Terrace

The logo has magic around them.

"Well nice of a change, I was getting a bit tired of seeing the same opening." Amity admitted with others agreeing.

The opening top window of the Owl House is shown before Luz is seen putting Garlog in a bottle down on a table and boops it.

Camila, Amity, Willow and Gus giggles at this display.

"Who wants to bet that the bounty amount is just out of pity?" Gus asks and there were mutters of agreement.

She puts up her phone to start filming saying Hola to Camila, Luz says that she hadn't heard from her in a while since it's been a week and a half since the Petrification Ceremony and had to destroy the portal home since Belos was going to kill Eda but she couldn't let him use it so she blew it up with some magic fire. Luz closes her eyes putting two fingers to her temple saying that she isn't going to understand any of this.

"I understand and I don't blame you." Camila told Luz softly pulling her close to which she smiled. Amity was watching with a smile. She remember how early in this show viewing the previous day how jealous she was that Luz had a good loving mother.

Now she was imagining spending time with her as a replacement mother figure, well when they get out she will have plenty of time to get to know more of her awesome girlfriend's mother.

Luz says that it's okay and to keep moving forward to herself, explaining that the world is filled with inexplicable magical wonder as she takes out the portal key which she is going to study all that she can about it to find a way back to her.

Luz was hoping that her screen self will especially since her mother might be in trouble from whoever is sending her letters.

Luz sits on the bed with King hanging onto her leg explaining that she has friends to help her, King says that he is never going to let her go and she is never returning to the Human Realm with Luz saying that he doesn't mean that but King protests that he does.

King was now embarrassed as the crowd bursted into laughter again, "Don't worry about it King, I would worry about not seeing my best friend in the Boiling Isles again either." Luz smiled at his direction with Willow and Gus smiling as well not offended by the comment.

"Thank you for being a friend Luz." King replied and then Cornholio sighed.

"Did you have to say it like that King..." Cornholio asks silently to much confusion.

Luz switches it off and the phone video cuts to Eda practicing her magic explaining that she was the most powerful witch in the Boiling Isles, it shows her attempting to pour apple blood into her 30 Flirty mug and it explodes with Luz explaining that the curse overpowered her and weakened her magic with her doing her best now.

Eda glared at the giggles and twirls her staff threateningly at the residents, "Just to remind you that this may not come to pass and I still am at full power... So does anyone want to continue laughing?" Eda warned as the residents looked scared and shook their heads. "Good." Eda said smirking as she sat down.

Lilith sighed knowing that her sister now struggling with her magic was all her fault.

Lilith is now shown through the video to be putting away her gown before looking out the open window and Luz explained that Eda was cursed by her own sister with her spending her entire life looking for a way to undo it.

Lilith put her head down in shame as the audience looked uneasy at this moment.

Luz says that it's still hard to trust each other but maybe with time they can all be friends and Hooty then appears at the window saying hello causing Lilith to shut it in his face.

"Come on Lulu, I am sure we can be great friends! I mean we hanged out when you and your Coven pals came over to play!" Hooty yelled and Lilith glared at him while audience members laughed.

"Wishful thinking Hooty..." muttered Eda in amusement.

The video is shown outside as Luz explains that even though Eda gets frustrated she is making up for her lost powers as it shown Eda outside putting together her new hunting weapon the Stab-Catcher.

Eda made a mental note to have to put that together when she gets out of here.

Luz explains that without the Portal, Eda has no human garbage to sell so they resort to odd jobs to keep food on the table.

The Owl House residents had their eyes widened realising that this fact eluded their minds after the finale and hopefully they will not have to go through this when they get out of here. The HAS members frowned wondering how their show selves would manage with Eda's stall not being open.

Eda aims the Stab-Catcher calling to King asking if he knew the apple is a hat, King is front of the giant target and picks up the apple to put on his head, Luz drops her phone yelling no picking him up as the Stab-Catcher is thrown with both of Eda's hands attached to it.

"EDA!" Luz yelled as there judgmental muttering from the audience causing Eda to frown.

"Come on! I have near perfect aim!" Eda yelled as there was Camila glaring at her with her arms folded.

"You were doing so well Eda." Camila sighed sounding disappointed as she shook her head while Eda glared at her.

"So we are back to you criticising my every move again? Well it's been a while but let me say this in my defence: come on, it's not like King here hasn't been a bad friend himself as you have seen in the last season!" Eda yelled trying to defend herself but there were still judgemental looks.

"Wait, that apple wasn't a hat after all?" King questioned as there were looks of disbelief aimed at him.

Luz says that this week they are bounty hunters and next week they could be anything.

"Oh great, now my Luz is now intentionally going after dangerous creatures. This all just keeps getting better and better." Camila muttered.

Cuts to in front of Luz asking Camila not to be scared since she is growing more and more everyday and she is going to do her best to become a full fledged witch and getting home to her safe and sound while posing with her arm. Luz quietly finishes it off with words in Spanish.

Camila smiled as she pulled Luz into an embrace with most of the audience finding it sweet, "In case you were wondering I was saying it was that I love her and I promise I'll be back soon." Luz explained and the sweetness continued.

Luz turned it off and finds that the video failed to send to her sadness, Eda calls out to Luz from the outside as Lilith is ready to drive the cart with the bounties in sacs to be driven by giant rat slugs.

"Where would you even get those creatures?" Camila wondered as most of the humans realised how futile it would be to catch up all the new weird creatures that they see.

"I know a guy that owes me a favour." Eda said simply.

Eda tells her that it's time to bring the bounties to market while holding a bottle with a green fanged duck inside the bottle.

"Was that Count Duckula?" laughed Cornholio but then sighed with a glare as his joke was met with stunned silence. "Not only is it an old reference but a British one... You might as well have made a Mr Blobby, Wombles or a Bagpuss reference... That one you only first knew about was because of the Danger Mouse episode..." Cornholio chided to himself quietly.

Lilith shakes feathers from her shirt asking her sister if she owns anything that isn't covered in feathers and Eda retorts that she had to handle a curse for 30 years so she thinks that she can handle a few feathers.

"You know I was wondering about the feathers before I found out about your curse and I was doing the laundry." Luz commented as Lilith frowned at her predicament while others found this amusing.

At the market there is a giant stone statue of Belos with his hand stretched out with Emperor's Coven members and guards patrolling with the stalls remodelled, Luz notes how the Emperor is really taking over.

"Come on, please and doubt against the fact that your precious Emperor is a villain and a tyrant now!" Eda shouted gloatingly to the Boiling Isles residents and they couldn't say much in response.

Eda carrying a sack says that she sees it too and is trying to stay civil as she then kicks away a demon promoting Belos, the rules and to join a Coven or get out.

"Well by your standards that is civil Eda." Bump said as Eda shook her head at her former principal's words as well as the looks and nods of agreement.

At the bounty stall the sack is scaled and the demon offers a single Snail as payment, Eda demands to know if he is kidding and the demon splits it in half to offer her.

Eda and Luz looked outraged along with Luz's friends and Camila; even the others think that this was unfair. However a single demon looked uneasy as he tried to hide himself lest he be noticed...

Drawing a crowd Eda asks if he knows who she is; the demon does and asks what he is going to do since they all know that he is powerless. Eda angrily tries a spell circle but it fizzles out of the dismay of the crowd, Eda says that she doesn't need their pity since taking out her wanted poster she says that she was the most wanted criminal for years so they should fear her.

Eda pointed her staff at the crowd as she then stood up but paused as she noticed the demon in question as she ran up to him, Cornholio smiled as he would let this continue. The demon was terrified and was now on his knees pleadingly saying "Eda let's not be too hasty since this hasn't happened..." As she came closer he then quickly got out a pen and paper and wrote something handing her it saying "here! Come by my stall after we get out of here and I will pay you double the Garlog bounty!"

Eda smirked as she nodded and went back to her seat after taking the piece of paper causing the demon to rest as he got back onto his seat.

A garbage collector takes it and goes away with the crowd going away. Lilith laughs coming over with King with her saying not to worry since at least her image still commands respect and fear showing off the Emperor's Coven poster before someone turns it to flame with King laughing that she's a traitor.

Lilith glares at the screen and the crowd laughs at this, "I still have respect for you Mam!" Steve told Lilith patting her on the back.

Lilith demands to know who told him to do this but then the new Emperor's Coven recruitment posters are put up showing the Golden Guard.

Lilith groans as the audience recognised him from the end of the previous season's finale as well as the opening.

Luz picks one off asking if Lilith knew him in the Coven, Lilith takes it away saying unfortunately she did saying that he was the genius teen prodigy who got special treatment but he is really just a brat as she curls the poster up into a ball to throw away.

"Anything you can tell us about this prodigy Principal Bump?" Willow asked Bump and he surprised the crowd by shrugging. Some sort of teen prodigy that never went to Hexside?

"Please don't make me have to edit this when the rest of the season happens..." Cornholio thinks in his head.

Lilith says that if he is in charge then vomit, magically the ball then is thrown back into her face with it curling back up which she tries to rip off to no success before she walks off.

"I get it, this is my karmic punishment." Lilith mutters annoyed as the laughs continued but Eda just smiled at her while Luz, Camila and Amity didn't know what to think considering what she had done in the penultimate episode.

Luz takes Eda saying that what they need is a confidence boost asking if they could take on the biggest bounty that they could find.

"Luz, we all have seen your journey and adventures in the Boiling Isles and it still escapes me how exactly you have not gotten yourself killed with thinking like this!" Hal said incredulously and Luz hated how little her loved ones wanted to dispute that.

She goes to the board saying no to lost Cerberus, interested in witch cackling lessons and chooses the Selkidomus for 1,000,000 Snails.

"Luz, just no!" cried Eda shaking her head and Camila was becoming worried as she went to look her way for clarification.

"They are nice creatures as long as you don't provoke them." explained one Beast Keeping Track student and Camila frowned thinking that something is bound to go wrong.

Luz says that they will be on a high seas adventure with Eda saying no since they have to keep a low profile while her powers are weakened and they need fast cash.

"Wait... I must be dreaming... Edalyn is... Being sensible and rational?" Lilith asked being mocked surprised and Eda glared at the laughter.

"Watch it Lily! Just because you're part of the Bad Girl Coven now doesn't mean that I won't make sure that you watch what you say!" Eda warned her and Lilith just smirked in response.

Eda asks about the Abominable Cutie Pie for 600 Snails with Eda trying to say that it's very dangerous and then sees him amongst some Hexside students who runs away to the statue climbing it up saying that they will never catch him. Luz climbs up and catches the Abominable Cutie Pie who falls to her hands to Luz' sigh.

"Wow, I wonder why the bounty is even that high." Luz commented looking completely unimpressed and bored by this.

"Luz climbed up a statue, why am I not reacting to this?" Camila was asking herself in her head.

At the cart Eda tells Lilith that things aren't looking great since the bounty hunting isn't putting food on the table but Lilith still has the poster on her face, Eda is sure that Luz could handle bigger bounties but if they want to eat then they don't have the luxury of messing up even once.

"So surreal to see Eda actually thinking like this..." Bump commented and Lilith giggled as Eda glared at him.

"Don't encourage her! I miss it when it was Luz's mum criticising me every single second!" Eda cried in annoyance.

Eda then goes on responding to Lilith that no apple blood since she spent the money on griffin eggs for Luz since there aren't a lot that she can digest there so she makes sure that she has her favourites around.

"Prioritising me when it's my fault that you are in this mess?" Luz said guiltily as Eda tried to put on a reassuring smile to her.

"No Luz; it's more the fault of me who not only cursed her but intentionally put her curse out of control. Don't blame yourself for my actions." Lilith spoke out loud and Luz still didn't look sure.

"Griffin eggs?" Camila asked concerned as Luz smiled nervously and some human students looked grossed out but oddly a good number looked interested.

"I was scared at first but when you try them it's not really tasting that much different from normal eggs." Luz said trying to be as reassuring as she could.

"They go great scrambled!" shouted one of the Hexside students.

The cart is being driven off as Luz watches on with King and the Cutie Pie who calls it rough before King hits him and snatches the lollipop from him before throwing him off.

There were laughs at this.

Luz then jumps off accidentally stepping on the Cutie Pie as she then lands, Luz calls it awful saying that Eda wouldn't be in this situation if it weren't for her and maybe it would be better if she never came here.

"Luz there is going to be big trouble if I ever catch you saying anything like that ever again!" Eda warned her as there were disapproving looks from Amity, Willow, Gus and other Hexside students such as Skara.

"If it wasn't for you then I would never have been able to join the Plant Track, get respect of my fellow Hexsidians or restarting my friendship with Amity!" Willow shouted with Amity nodding.

"You coming here was the best thing that happened to me Luz." Amity told her reassuringly snuggling up to Luz to their embarrassment.

Luz closes her hands saying determined that she can't change the past but she can still change the future. She is going to prove to Eda that she can help and that she is more than a burden.

"OW! WAS THAT NECESSARY?" Luz yelled as she then felt herself slapped on the arms by both Camila and Amity (who broke her snuggling embrace) with them glaring at her.

"You are not a burden Luz!" they yelled at the same time surprising them. Luz wondered how they would react if she said something like that again.

At a ship Luz puts down the Selkidomus poster down at the demon saying that she wants in to Salty the captain of a ship.

"Wow Luz, I can't believe this..." Lilith muttered in disbelief as Eda facepalmed and Bump shook his head along with other similar reactions to the confusion of the humans.

"That is one of the Emperor's ships." explained Steve to the wide eyes of Luz who then gulped.

After Salty is told that Luz can handle anything he then passes her a uniform but the Golden Guard is watching from the ship window (with the side of the cloak and mask being shown) with Salty then nodding to him who nods back before the window is closed showing the sigil of the Emperor.

"Seriously Luz, I can't beleive you would still go through with this idea?" cried Eda face palming again.

"You are seriously still surprised at this point?" Perry asked and Eda glared at him but most of the audience agreed with this point.

Lilith is at the Owl House couch looking at her torn and burned poster and then Eda surprises her with potion bottles hanged around her, Eda asks how she looks while posing. Lilith isn't able to put it in words before Eda sits down saying that getting scammed at the market was such a bummer but it gave her an idea to earn a little more cash asking if she wants to come. Eda takes out a potion bottle with a tiny skull in it saying that she might not be at full power but she can still make potions.

"It was my Track in Hexside and I aced it!" Eda grinned knowing that she would be down but never out in this circumstance.

Lilith replies that she is quite fine, Eda goes to the door telling her to have fun wallowing in self pity and feeling bad for cursing her telling her bye.

"You really had to say it like that Edalyn?" Lilith asked shaking her head.

She leaves as Lilith picks pieces of the poster from her head and hair guessing that she deserves this, she then puts the poster to her chest saying that there has got to be a way to make it up to her and then notices the potions book amongst other books.

Lilith had a feeling about what her screen self would do and thinking about she probably did deserve a life like that considering what she had done.

Lilith gets it saying that Eda isn't the only Clawthorne with a talent for potions and goes to the scrying potion section ripping it off saying that she would love a peek inside the castle.

"That would be useful." Luz commented thinking about what they could do with such insider information with mutters of agreement among the audience.

She turns and drops the page and book while falling to the ground after she turns and is met with Hooty asking how his bestie is doing.

"Bestie?" Samantha asked as the audience was finding the mere idea of the two of them spending time together (especially after the failed Owl House invasion last season) hilarious while Hooty was smiling at the screen.

Hooty says that he can help with the Scrying Potion; they can find out their crushes and give them cute couple names while getting near her face.

"Hooty, I am sorry but I can't imagine you being much help to her." Luz told Hooty softly but he shook his head.

"Just you wait and I will show that I am the best friend that she could ever ask for." Hooty replied to much scoffing from the audience.

Lilith angrily retorts that she can do this alone and not to follow her, at the door she tells him not to call her Lulu.

Lilith glared at those laughing.

Hooty says that a good friend would respect her wishes but a better friend would help no matter what while the door is closed.

"That's it! Luz, hand over that word bird thing now!" Lilith shouted standing up and her stand readying a fire spell as she went to go for the backpack with Hooty connected to it. Luz and Hooty were worried (while others were cheering Lilith on for wanting to see the weird demon destroyed), Lilith ran into an invisible wall and there was Cornholio pointing her back to her seat.

Lilith glared as she went back and Hooty looked sad at how Lilith was acting when he just wanted to be friends.

Luz and King are watching from the top as the ship goes through the water, Luz says that Eda won't have to worry about money for a long time after she gets the Selkidomus and a boatload of snails and King says that he wants a cracker.

"He looks more like a cat or a dog than a parrot." laughed Gilbert along with others while King fumed.

"So Disney and Pirates? This isn't going to be get convoluted and confusion like the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels?" asked a human teen.

"They lost me after the 3rd one had a kid hanged..." muttered Cornholio much to the shock and horror of many. He was just fine with Disney Marvel movies making jokes about hanging babies but actually starting off with a kid being hanged as a shocking moment...

Salty says all hands and tells the crew including Luz with King hanging onto Luz' shoulder, that the Selkidomus has been ravaging the coastline and last seen in the Simmering Soals and says they know the drill which is snag the quarry and get the money dropping the sack and if they all do the work then they all get a cut.

Luz looked determined at the scene.

The crew then cheers as the fish demon says that he has many debts, Salty then says until then to keep everything ship shake since this isn't no pleasure cruise. Luz is then handed a broom saying not to be a burden calling her a sea squirt with her smirking replying that he doesn't have to worry about her.

There were many glares from Luz' loved ones at the screen for the use of the B word.

A montage is shown of Luz rejecting the offered tool to scrape the living barnacles as she uses a vine glyph to hold onto her and hisses at them as she uses King's horn to scrap them off, Luz rejects the shovel to put coal into the fire as she instead uses fire glyphs making the ship go faster, and then Luz is dancing to clapping from the crew since there is a giant purple beetle on her back that she is trying to get off.

Many were looking impressed at what Luz had been pulling off.

She gets it off as King ducks before it hits him as he watching along with other small parrot like demons while he is eating a cracker.

"Seriously! This season had better have an episode to prove to everyone that I am a legit King to be respected and feared!" King yelled getting sick of it all to giggles.

Salty pats Luz on the back saying that she had him confront his own biases and now has nothing but respect for her calling her squirt and then corrects himself calling her sailor.

Luz smiled at this, if only Salty wasn't working for her sworn enemies.

Luz thanks Salty saying that she has been made to feel like a real part of the crew and Salty says that it's because she arrgh with the crew cheering but King booing the pun as a hand parrot demon tries taking his cracker away from him.

Gus was heard booing the pun.

The ship goes up causing him to fall off the ledge and down the ship crashing through the doors and spots Kraken Crisps crackers on the table which he gets to but notices a letter by the box. He notices the Emperor's sigil on it and lights up the candle to see it decorating the inside of the ship.

The audience gulped at this image.

King says that he has to tell Luz but behind him is the Golden Guard who says unfortunately he won't have the chance as it fades on him going near with a blue drape over him while King yells.

"KING!" several of them yelled in concern and glaring at the Golden Guard.

Lilith looks at her Scrying Potion page seeing that the next ingredient is Fire Bee honey with some flying by her head leading her to the nest, she steps down but they notice her and is chased by a swarm.

"Wonder how you plan on getting it Lulu?" Eda asked using the nickname mockingly and Lilith glared at her sister.

Lilith tries to use an ice spell against them but only makes an ice cube with her having to run and hide behind a tree that they put their stingers through hitting. Lilith sits down with her arms on her knees asking how can she get the ingredients without magic and who is she without magic or without a Coven.

"Wow, your sense of self worth really took a blow after all this huh Lily..." Eda asked in concern and Lilith sighed thinking of all the time that she spent practicing and learning magic to be the best of the best.

Camila managed to feel sorry for her and even Amity even if they were not totally over what happened last season.

She hears Hooty asking without friends and sees Hooty with his neck through the soil, Hooty says that he can help and Lilith retorts that she doesn't want his help and that she told him not to follow her.

"How long can your neck stretch Hooty?" Eda asked and Hooty looked puzzled as he tries to figure it out. He then does his best to shrug.

Hooty says that if he was her then he would and Lilith gets up shouting he would what because it doesn't matter, he isn't her and he is just some kind of weird bird worm.

There was silence and Luz and her loved ones thought that she was being harsh and Hooty looked hurt and sad at this.

Hooty looks hurt and Lilith says that he doesn't have any idea what she is going through and she has to do this alone because if she can't what kind of witch is she.

"Come on Lilith, don't you think that this is a bit much pressure to put on yourself?" Willow asked as Lilith scoffed.

"When you spend all that time leading the Emperor's Coven, you have all the pressure to carry out your objectives by yourself." Lilith sighed making Willow uneasy about what she had to go through..

Hooty says sorry putting his neck and head down the makeshift burrow saying correcting himself when he says Lulu. Lilith picks up a stick saying to try this one more time.

"Wow a stick, you will certainly be able to take them on no problem..." muttered Hal sarcastically and Lilith glared at the looks she was getting.

It is cut back to the ship and Salty tells them to keep their eyes peeled as they are at the Simmering Soals with one crewmate doing so literally tying them around his head like an eye mask.

Even after all that they had already seen this was still freaky to the humans.

They see down the flaming remains of another ship with others giving respect, Salty says that the Selkidomus is close. The tail of the Selkidomus knocks into the ship and she is seen in the water with crewmates throwing harpoons.

The Selkidomus throws them back to it beheading a clam crewmate who picks it back up to put it back on again.

"I noticed something, first episode a decapitation and now another one in the first episode of a new season." Luz pointed out as they thought it was a good observation for what is more likely just a funny coincidence.

The humans hated how stuff like this are now just stopped fazing them now, seriously this was a Disney cartoon somewhere else in another world?

Luz throws ice glyphs creating giant pillars causing the Selkidomus to change course and it crashes into a 3 rd and final one. A vine glyph ties it up and they all pull it and Luz ties it to the ship.

"That wasn't so bad!" Luz shouted with a smile to moans.

"Did you have to jinx it Luz?" Camila asked in disbelief, after all that fiction Luz had experienced surely she would have known better than that.

There is fire causing Luz to crash into the ground and it sets the Selkidomus free. They see a shadow figure and Salty is afraid that it's a ghost pirate and Luz shouts that the figure is robbing their money as the figure then jumps off.

"Ghost pirate?" asked a human student but Eda was silent as she had a feeling that she knew who that was.

The figure goes on a speedboat to an island as Luz then creates a boat out of an ice pillar made by a glyph which she lands on and makes it move with a fire glyph. Salty laughs telling Luz to show the spectre what for.

Luz would have loved the compliment if Salty wasn't working for the Emperor, "How many pieces of paper did you bring considering how many of those glyphs that you used?" Samantha decided to ask and Luz thought that she must just have been super prepared.

The ice is left to two pieces that Luz is using as like skis reaching the island and knocks into the figure sending the sack to the water drifting it away. They both yell about the money and Luz notices the figure knocking away the hat to reveal Eda.

"Thought it would be me..." Eda muttered as Luz looked her way.

Luz asks why is she robbing the ship and what happened to her legs as they are gone, Eda clicks her finger as from the boat made from a tub and a bicycle comes her legs. Eda calls it disguising her tracks and asks why was she on the ship to begin with since she could have gotten killed.

"It would have been a day ending with Y for you all." Bump said as Eda glared at him.

From the water forming a hand the Golden Guard lands on the beach of the island with cage not unlike a birdcage with the blue drape over it. He says that it can still be arranged as Luz and Eda look worried.

"He is not giving a good first impression." Luz commented as Lilith laughed humourlessly at that.

The Golden Guard greets them calling them criminals and what is about to happen is relatively painless if they just do what he says, Luz asks why would they do that and Golden Guard reminds them that none of them can use real magic.

"Glyphs are real magic!" Luz yelled at the screen already disliking this guy.

Eda says that he doesn't know that and the Golden Guard replies maybe not but he does know that they are standing on a flesh eating plant causing them to scream and jump away with him laughing.

"They are no joke from what I have seen in my books." Willow spoke up with them jumping at that.

The Golden Guard says that Luz will remain a sailor to repay all the money she lost while Eda will be arrested again for attacking one of the Emperor's ships. Luz asks and Eda replies that they are the only ones worth robbing.

"Seriously, the other pirate ships are pretty pitiful." Eda spoke up.

Eda asks why are they hunting down the Selkidomus since they are provoking a peaceful creature.

Camila was feeling proud of Eda for speaking in defence of such a creature like that.

The Golden Guard says that the Emperor ordered him to slay one and he is just following orders.

"It's never a good thing to use that excuse when working for a tyrant." Hal said glaring at the screen with other humans not happy with him using that line.

Eda takes off a hand saying that she is going to smack him around a bit with the Golden Guard easily dodging her attacks. He kicks her down taking her arm off and Luz tries to defend her with fire glyphs but he dodges as well and he uses a spell to attack her with sand sending her down.

The skills used by this Golden Guard was nothing to be scoffing at the audience admitted and even Amity wondered how she would fare against this guy. Teen prodigy was right.

The Golden Guard asks how about he leaves them dangling above the Boiling Sea using magic to have the sand drag them to just above the water, those parts just the steam is enough to cause third degree burns.

The audience were becoming fearful for Eda and Luz at this.

Telepathically he drags them back saying that he doesn't have to be that mean and no one will have to be a sailor or gets arrested if one of them follow the Selkidomus tracks and slay the beast.

Camila was furious and channelling what she was feeling towards Lilith in that first season's penultimate episode towards this Golden Guard. Trying to blackmail Luz to slay a poor creature.

He says that he will help conjuring up a sword and Luz moans.

"So this is how annoying he is?" Camila asked and Lilith laughed out loud and then shook her head.

"Sister, this isn't even scratching the surface of what dealing with him is like." Lilith told Camila.

The Golden Guard pinches where his nose would be saying that they are making this difficult and says to go or he drowns the bird, the staff pulling the drape to reveal King. King says that it's dark now and snores as the Golden Guard pulls the staff back.

King was glaring at the screen as there were indignant yells at this.

Luz says fine and picks up the sword and Eda calls for her to wait.

Lilith is circled by the Fire Bees with her stick saying that she is not one to be trifled with and she is a witch as she tries to attack with the stick until it is left to almost nothing.

"It was a stick Lily, what did you expect?" Eda shouted incredulously as Lilith sighed.

She drops it and is to her knees yelling no with them coming closer admitting that she can't do this alone. She yells that she needs help but then from the ground comes Hooty and fights the Bees with Lilith watching and starts clapping and dodging before she was hit by honey.

Lilith was staring in surprise along with others, "This is the thing that Amity was able to beat up before Grom with no problem?" Emira asked as the audience was reminded of seeing him not only take on the Emperor's Coven no problem but also take out King's boot camp.

Luz and Eda are through the cave with Eda saying not to hurt the Selkidomus and that they can find another way out of this, Luz says that she heard what she said that if Eda and King want to be free then she has to do this by herself.

"Two idiots I love thinking they have to do things by themselves..." Eda muttered to herself.

She jumps onto the mast of a broken ship with Eda asking what's this alone business asking if she remembers that them weirdos have to stick together, Luz interrupts finishing it saying that because Eda was stuck with her she lost her magic, almost go turned to stone and can't even afford her apple blood because she is worried about what she needs to eat.

"Luz I regret nothing about what we have been through and I want you to stop being so guilty and apologetic about it all." Eda yelled.

"Plus it was more my fault as I said." Lilith yelled.

Eda looks sad but they hear the Selkidomus as it shakes the ground, Luz says that it's her fault all this happened and that's why she has got to do this alone. Luz smiles saying that she will make it all up to her promising it as she falls back to Eda's worried protest.

"Come on! I might not even do it again!" Luz yelled in agitation as she was slapped on the arms again by her mother and girlfriend for doing this.

Luz lands on the snout of the Selkidomus who pushes her off, her eyes turn red and ready to fire spikes from her body but Luz hides behind a pillar after getting the sword. The Selkidomus fires it's spike as Luz charges with a glyph using it to summon an ice pillar to send her flying into the sky. Eda swings by on a rope catching Luz and they land in a pile of plant weeds.

"Will I ever not have to save you from your impulsive actions?" Eda asked shaking her head.

Eda asks her if she thinks that throwing her life away is going to help her well it won't; Luz helped her find King's crown when they barely knew eachother, saved her from being turned to stone and got her talking to her sister again so unfortunately for Luz: Eda's life is pretty great since she is friends with Luz the human.

Eda sighed at the image of her being all sentimental and the reactions of the crowd that was seriously hurting her bad girl cred.

"Luz has a second mother now and I am surprisingly okay with that." Camila commented with a smile.

Luz is holding back tears, Eda gets her head saying that her guilt ridden brain is clouding her judgement and there has to be another way out of this where no one has to get hurt.

They hear a sound and notices the baby Selkidomus and Luz asks Eda if she wants to learn her first glyph holding one up.

"The creature is a mother?" Camila asked her anger at the Golden Guard growing and wondering what Luz has planned.

Golden Guard is playing with King putting up the drape up and down again to see his reaction laughing and saying that he is weirdly endearing with King sleepily protesting that he isn't before falling asleep.

"If it was anyone else then I found be finding this fun..." humphed Eda as King glared at the screen but there were mutters agreeing with the Golden Guard.

The Golden Guard sees the shadows of Luz and Eda fighting the Selkidomus and it appears that Luz has slain it. Luz comes out with the Golden Guard complaining about the smell asking why is she touching it with her hands calling her gross.

"I know you had to do it but still... You are kind of a heartless monster now Luz! I thought that you were cool!" shouted a Beast Keeping Track student with agreements from the others but Luz's friends and others glared at them. There were mutters about what they had jsut seen but some such as Bump, Amity and Camila guessed that this must be a trick.

Luz retorts that he is gross and demands King back and the Golden Guard replies that he smells pretty bad too.

"I DO NOT! Can you believe the nerve of this guy?" King shouts looking to the audience members around him but then notices that they are in no hurry to argue against what the Golden Guard says. King pouts as he folds his arms to Eda's amusement along with others.

The Golden Guard says to take him and throws the cage which Luz catches, the Golden Guard thanks her for her service and that she can find her own way home.

"Jerk!" Luz yelled out loud.

The Golden Guard tells her to try and stay out of trouble because the Emperor is not a merciful man.

"He just looked all approachful and kind..." Luz commented sarcastically.

He waves and says bye as he flies off on his staff to which Luz spits her tongue out at him.

Luz repeated the action along with others.

King stares out of his cage and it shown that the supposed slain Selkidomus is covered in glyphs showing that it was all a show with Eda drawing and activating light glyphs.

There were eyes widened and the Beast Keeping Track student muttered out facing Luz "about what I had just said..."

"Watch what you say next time before getting the full details." Luz chided the student as Camila commended Luz for finding a way out of this horrible situation.

Eda asks if she did good on her first glyph and Luz says that she did great.

"The student and the teacher have traded places." Bump commented with a smile as Eda was smiling at the image along with Luz.

The baby Selkidomus is next to them when the mother one comes up with the baby one hugging Luz and her hugging back.

Camila was looking at Luz with pride in her face.

King asks what it is and Eda tells him not to worry as once the mother sees that they are not a threat to her baby she will calm down. Eda tells the mother Selkidomus that the area is dangerous and that she needs to move out into the sea and she nods in response.

"Wow; you would have been great in the Beast Keeping Track, Lord Calamity." commented Viney impressed.

She then coughs up Selkigris to Luz's disgust and Eda's excitement, Eda explains that people pay big money for it at the Night Market wiping Luz's cheeks with it.

Many thought that this was gross but Eda had Snails signs in her eyes.

Luz laughs as Eda then throws her into the pile and she then dog piles onto it. They then laugh together as King picks up a skull.

"That was disgusting." Camila said glaring at Eda and she just stuck her tongue out at her in response.

At the Owl House, Lilith apologises to Hooty for sending him away before since it's hard for her to ask for help while treating Hooty's injuries.

They both repeated the apologies to eachother while Camila and Luz thought that Hooty didn't look too good here.

Hooty says that it's okay and he's sorry for being nosy but every friendship comes with it's up and downs. Hooty asks 'right best friend' and Lilith retorts that she isn't commenting on it while calling him Hootsifer making him excited for the nickname.

"My sister and Hooty being friends... I never..." Eda muttered as Hooty was squealing about the nickname and Lilith smiled.

The Scrying Potion was complete with Luz, Eda and King getting home through the door tired except for King. Eda trips on Hooty's neck and Lilith excitedly tells Eda that she has a git for her.

She pulls Eda by the elbow to the potion with Luz coming over; Lilith explains that to prove that she is trustworthy she is giving him a peek inside the Emperor's castle. It shows a corridor with the Coven members standing by and saying 'sup' to eachother.

"That's... Underwhelming..." said one of the Hexside students along with talks of similar sentiments.

Luz asks what are they supposed to do with this and Lilith replies anything that they want since the troops don't know what to do with themselves so go crazy and pull whatever pranks their heart desires as they are clueless without her as she lies on a couch.

"At least I am not including in that clueless bunch huh Mam... Mam?" Steve asked as Lilith didn't face him.

Eda excitedly says that she couldn't be more right and calls the Golden Guard a chump, she is in a good mood so who wants to get take-out and draw faces on Hooty. Luz and King are excited but Hooty isn't and Lilith calls him Hootsifer saying that she will protect them causing him to smile.

"Guys, please don't be mean!" Hooty complained as Camila looked towards Luz accusatory.

"We haven't done anything like that to him as far as I know Mum!" Luz told her.

"Not a bad idea though..." whispered Amity to herself.

Eda gets details on what they want to eat as it pans into the potion and then it cuts to the door in progress of being rebuilt with Belos walking towards it, the back towards the camera showing his long hair without his helmet. Eda says that things are starting to feel right again. Belos then put s apiece of the eye on it and faces the camera after putting on his mask saying 'knock-knock human'.

Many were gulping at how scary Belos looked like this.

The closing credits are shown with stained glass portraits of the Owl House together.

"Wow, what a way to start this season... At least the next one should be more of a breather..." commented Amity as the next one started...
