Season #1 Episode #4: The Intruder

---

Eda:
[screams]

[Cut to Eda, back in witch form, laying in her nest with a straw in her mouth. She sits up, still partially transformed.]

Eda:
Ahh! [slurps and returns to normal] W‐What happened? Oh, I have the worst headache. And my mouth tastes like roadkill. [gags, retches]

[A giant owl pellet breaks, revealing Snaggleback]

Snaggleback:
I'm just gonna... lie here for a minute.

Eda:
[grabs the potion] Hmm? I was looking for that.

King:
[walking over] Actually, we found an extra one in your closet.

Eda:
King? King! You stole my elixir? I ought to break every bone in your‐‐

King:
Shh! [whispering] Over there.

[Luz is surrounded by balls of light. She draws out another glyph as thunder rumbles in the background. She activates the glyph, grinning as the ball of light joins the others.]

Eda:
Wow. How is she doing that?

[Camera pans up to show dozens of balls of light.]

King:
I don't know, but she did it all on her own. Hey, I, uh, kind of messed a bunch of things up back there. And I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

Eda:
Well, you better be. I got a long list of disgusting chores with your name on it. But it's not entirely your fault. [Luz walks over] I haven't been completely honest with you guys. When I was younger, I was cursed. I don't know exactly how it happened, all I know is that if I don't take my elixir... Well, that's why people call me the Owl Lady. No one likes having a curse, but if you take the right steps, it's manageable.

Luz:
Whoa. So are you okay?

Eda:
There's nothing for you to worry about. It's all under control, and as long as no one steals my elixir ‐‐ King ‐‐ then I'm fine. But, hey, look at this. A human doing magic. Good on you, kid.

Luz:
I had some encouragement from a great teacher.

King:
Oh, you.

Hooty:
Hey, hey! Is anyone there? Hello? Hoot? I'm on the floor. It's cold!

King:
That voice. That horrific voice!

Luz:
We'll take care of him. You stay in bed. [picks up Snaggleback] Come on, you goopy fella. We'll set you free now.

Snaggleback:
Ow, ow, ow. I think my tail was digested.

[door closes]

Eda:
[sighs and lays back down]

[Eda closes her eyes. The scene changes to a void, with only Eda and a door. Indistinct whispering can be heard.]

Eda:
No, not this memory again.

[The door opens. On the other side is a wavering shadow, two circles of light near the top, back-lit by pure white light.]

Eda:
You! You're the one who cursed me, aren't you? Who are you? Who are you?

[Fade back to Eda's room as she sits up in her nest with a gasp. She looks around and exhales. Cut to the living room, where the door and Hooty have been restored to their rightful place. Luz has put bandages on the claw marks on the door.]

Luz:
Welcome to the boo‐boo buddy club, Hooty.

Hooty:
Finally I get to be a part of something.

[Camera pans to the couch, where Snaggleback and King are sitting, the latter drawing.]

Snaggleback:
And then she had teeth in her stomach. Teeth in her stomach! Can you believe that?

King:
Oh, yeah. [shows his drawing] This will make a great addition to my demon book.

Snaggleback:
That book is filled with so many interesting things. [grabs the book] Like this. I'm one of the strongest demons on the Boiling Isles, huh?

King:
Yeah, I'm gonna have to edit that.

Snaggleback:
Oh.
