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

---

[The key flies out of Luz's bag and into Eda's hand. She presses the eye, and the portal door unfolds itself in front of the fireplace. Luz walks up to it, then hugs herself and turns back to look at Eda and King. King looks at the ground, visibly sad. Luz reaches into her bag]

Luz:
Before I go... [holds out the head of her Azura doll] I know it's not the same, but... [removes Azura's crown] a king shouldn't be without a crown.

King:
[accepts the crown and places it on his head] This shall suffice. You there, plant! You are now under my command. [he points to something and walks off screen]

Eda:
[grabs the Azura book off the table and hands it to Luz] Oh, and don't forget this.

[Luz takes it, and the pamphlet for Reality Check Summer Camp that's on top of it, and walks toward the portal. She stares at the pamphlet before putting it under the Azura book. She pauses in front of the door, looking at it. She looks back down at her book, then up, at a mirror above the fireplace]

Luz:
[gasps]

[She holds up the book, on the cover of which is Azura in the foreground, with an older witch looking at a dog/cat creature in the background. She lowers the book to reveal the mirror showing a very similar image, King and Eda in the same positions as the creature and the older witch, and herself in the foreground between them. She brightens and turns around]

Luz:
Okay. I know you got your head cut off, and we started some kind of prison riot, but this was the most fun I've ever had.

Eda:
[blinks owlishly in surprise]

Luz:
I don't fit in at home. You don't fit in here. If I stay, we could not fit in together. [she looks at the pamphlet for Reality Check one last time, then crumples it] I'm not going back to summer camp.

Eda:
[chuckles] What's summer camp? What are we talking about here?

Luz:
I want to stay and become a witch. Like you. [holds her book up to Eda] And Azura.

Eda:
[laughing] What? All right, that's crazy. [pushes Luz's book down] Humans can't become witches.

Luz:
Maybe that's because they haven't tried. If you teach me to become a witch, I'll do anything you want.

King:
[pulling at Eda's dress] Let her stay! [whispers] She can make us snacks.

Eda:
[smiles and picks King up] Well, I could use a hand keeping this goofball out of the cupboards. All right. I'll teach you how to be a witch. But you have to work for me before you learn any spells. Deal?

[Eda holds out her hand. Luz looks at it before grinning and crushing the two in a hug]

Eda:
Gah! What's going on?

King:
Too tight! Too tight!

[Cut to Luz opening the creaking door to a storage room. She unrolls a sleeping bag and throws herself on it, before turning over and taking a picture of her and her mom out of her messenger bag. She rubs her thumb over the glass before placing the frame right next to her pillow. Her phone vibrates, and she grabs it and turns it on]

[A message from "Mom❤️" reads: How's summer camp? Luz's expression falls, and she moves her phone away from her face]

King:
[clears his throat, steps into view while holding Francois] Your sleep cocoon looks fluffy.

[Luz sits up and pats the sleeping bag. King curls up at the bottom below her feet and falls asleep. Luz smiles at him before replying to her mom: I think I'm gonna like it here". Smiling, she puts her phone down, turns to the side, and falls asleep]

[Zoom out to the exterior of the Owl House. The giant stained glass eye above the door blinks]

[Cut to title card]
