Season #1 Episode #1: A Lying Witch and a Warden

---

King:
Weh?

[Warden Wrath walks closer to Eda and Luz. King follows him, his arms up and reaching for his crown]

Warden Wrath:
My guards could never get you, but I knew if I took your pet's toy, you'd come running. [crumples the crown]

King:
No! My power!

Eda:
What do you want with me? I've never actually broken any of your stupid laws... in front of you.

Warden Wrath:
I want you... [pulls out a bouquet of flowers] to go out with me.

Eda:
Wha...?

Luz:
[disgusted] What?

Guard #2:
Go, boss!

Warden Wrath:
[shoots the guard a thumbs-up] You've always eluded our capture. You've always been the one who got away. I found that alluring.

Luz:
I hate everything you're saying right now.

Warden Wrath:
You stay out of this!

[Warden Wrath tosses the bouquet over his shoulder, turning his now free hand into tentacles to grab Luz and hold her above the ground]

Warden Wrath:
So how about it, Owl Lady? [picks Eda's head up by the hair] The most powerful witch of the Boiling Isles and the feared Warden Wrath. We'd be the strongest power couple ever. I mean, it's‐‐ it's not like you can say no right now.

[Eda looks up at Luz, who's struggling to free herself from the warden's grasp. She looks to King, who gets picked up by one of the guards and also struggles for freedom]

Eda:
[sighs] All right, Warden. You win. I'd just like to say something first. Come closer. No. Just come a little bit closer. Just... Yeah, that's good. [blows raspberry]

[Warden Wrath yells and drops Luz, who also yells. He wipes Eda's spit off his mask]

Eda:
[laughs]

Warden Wrath:
Impudent wench! Don't you know how many germs are in your mouth? Blegh!

Eda:
Get over it. You had your guards stalk me, and then you cut off my head. I am not going out with you.

Warden Wrath:
If you don't accept, then I have no choice but to des‐‐ Oh!

[Luz hits him in the head with Eda's staff. He falls to the ground with a loud crash]

Eda:
[chuckles] Nice!

[The two guards step next to Eda's head. She glares at them as her body walks up behind them and drags their hoods over their eyes]

Luz:
Okay, we're going now.

[Luz runs forward, grabbing Eda's head. Eda's body frees King of the guard's grasp, and Luz grabs her by the waist and they all mount the staff]

Owlbert:
[unfurls his wings and hoots]

Luz:
Expecto... flying? Magicus... escapicus!

Warden Wrath:
[grunts as he gets up]

Eda:
Gun it, magic stick!

[The staff takes off. Warden Wrath clamors to his feet]

Warden Wrath:
Owl Lady, I won't let you get away again!

[His arms transform into bundles of tentacles, which he uses to chase after the staff. Cut to them flying past prison cells, Warden Wrath in hot pursuit. Luz and the camera zero in on the lever keeping Katya's cell shut]

Luz:
Eda, lend me a hand!

[Eda places her hand against Luz's. They open the cells of the three prisoners Luz and King had talked to earlier. All of them look excited. They burst through an outer door high in the center of the Conformatorium with a yell from Luz, then plummet. Warden Wrath exits right behind them, front flipping off the pillar]

[The staff and Warden Wrath fall toward the ground. Warden Wrath extends one of his tentacles, hitting the very back of the staff and launching Eda, Luz, and King off of it. They roll when they hit the ground, and Warden Wrath steps in front of them, his hand shifting into a blade again]

King:
Ow, my bones!

Eda:
Luz... [reattaches her head, then reaches into her hair and pulls out the key to the portal door] go back to the human world. [hands Luz the key, then runs at Warden Wrath]

Luz:
What about you guys?

King:
[stands and runs to join Eda] If you think this guy is bad, you shoulda seen her last boyfriend!

Eda:
Not my boyfriend. [grabs King and jumps back towards Luz, avoiding Wrath's blade-hands] Go! Go! [puts Luz onto her staff]

Luz:
But‐‐ But I‐‐

[Eda slaps the bottom of the staff, sending it into the air. Warden Wrath takes off his mask to reveal a face that's mostly mouth, which opens to breathe fire. Eda expertly draws two spell circles, one that catches the fire and one that launches it right back. Wrath slams into the wall of the Conformatorium]

Luz:
[whimpering as she tries to not fall off the staff]

[Wrath stands up, brandishing his blade-hands and running at Eda again. The three prisoners peek out of the hole that he left in the wall. Luz flies down to talk to them]

Luz:
Why are you guys just standing there? This is your chance to escape!

Eye-Eating Prisoner: The warden'll catch us. He always does.

Katya:
We belong here.

Tiny Nose:
Self‐doubt is a pwison you can never escape fwom.

[Prisoners muttering in agreement]

Luz:
So, you have a different way of doing things, a different way of seeing things. That might make you weird, but it also makes you awesome. Don't you see?

Katya:
Why are you helping us?

Luz:
Because us weirdos have to stick together. [pulls her hood on and mounts the staff] And nobody should be punished for who they are.

[The three prisoners all cheer. Luz turns the staff around]

Luz:
Now, let's get 'em!

[They all follow Luz. Cut to Eda being thrown against the ground, and King being thrown into her arms a second later. Warden Wrath looms over them]

Warden Wrath:
No more running away, Owl Lady. Today I capture you once and for all!

King:
[whimpers and hides his face in Eda's chest]

Luz:
Go, go, go, go!

[The prisoners scream as they barrel into Wrath. Luz flies behind them]

Eda:
Luz?

Eye-Eating Prisoner: [while shoving Wrath] I eat my own eyes!

Tiny Nose:
[trips Wrath] I think the world as a twiangle!

Katya:
[holding Wrath down] And I practice the ancient art of fanfiction!

[Tiny Nose joins Katya in holding Warden Wrath down while Eye-Eating Prisoner grabs his arms and ties them together. He then flips Wrath onto his stomach, so he can see Luz descending on Eda's staff]

Warden Wrath:
You! Who do you think you are?

Luz:
[points at Wrath] Do not underestimate me, Warden Wrath, for I am Luz, the human, warrior of peace. [wind blows her hair] Now eat this, sucka!

[Luz pulls her firecracker from her book report out of her messenger bag, tossing it into the air before hitting it with Eda's staff. The firecracker lands in Wrath's flaming mouth and goes off, sending fireworks into the air. He runs away, humiliated, fireworks still going off in his mouth, while the prisoners cheer]

Tiny Nose:
[jumping up and down] We are victorious!

[Ed, with King on her shoulder, walks closer to Luz, putting a hand on the human's shoulder]

King:
That was actually one of her better breakups.

Eda:
Not a breakup. Anyway, let's bounce before any more monsters fall in love with me.

[The three fly off on the staff, fireworks still going off behind them]

[Cut to the living room of the Owl House, where Eda leans her staff against the couch

Eda:
Well, a deal's a deal. Let's get you home. [snaps fingers]
