Season #1 Episode #7: Lost in Language

---

Luz:
I am?

Amity:
You can leave now. All of you. [walks back into the kid's corner]

Emira:
[chuckles]

[Edric winks at Luz]

Luz:
[chuckles and blushes]

[Cut to the three of them walking around.]

Edric:
So, you're the human we've heard so much about.

Emira:
I'm Emira. And this is Edric. We're Amity's older siblings. We heard how you embarrassed her at the school and at the witch covention last week. No wonder she hates you.

Luz:
I know. But I didn't mean any of it. I thought we were as cool as cucumbers. But we're as sour as pickles.

Emira:
Don't waste your time with Mittens. Me and Ed, we're way more fun. Follow us.

[The three of them walk off, Luz looking down at where Emira is holding her wrist. Cut to a sign reading "". Edric wipes away the "NON" and hides as a second librarian walks up, leading patrons.]

Librarian #2:
And here we go towards our nonfiction section. [gasps when he sees the sign] Fiction. Fiction. Is our world but fiction? Then what in my life is real anymore? [sobbing]

[Cut to where Librarian #1 is reading while shelving books. As he puts one on the shelf, it glows blue and flies back onto the reshelving cart. This happens several times before Emira is revealed to be doing it, her, Edric, and Luz all laughing. Edric switches the places of the two librarians.]

Librarian #2:
Huh? No! Not again! [sobbing]

[The first librarian falls off a ladder. Cut to Edric holding up a dusty book. He blows the dust at the demon decimal system, which all sneeze, showering the area with notecards.]

Luz:
Whoo!

[They all laugh as Luz dances and the twins high five.]

Amity:
Hey!

[Amity is standing next to the first librarian, both of them with their arms crossed. He looks around.]

Librarian #1:
[growls] Wait. Where's Gary?

Librarian #2:
[runs in] Coming. Nooo! [sobbing]

[Cut to the front entrance, where Luz and the twins are shoved out.]

All:
Whoa!

Librarian #1:
You've made reading far too fun. Now, stay out.

[The door slams shut. The three of them look at it for a second before laughing. Emira punches Luz's shoulder.]

Luz:
Amity's even madder at me now. I didn't think that was possible.

Edric:
No, when Mittens gets mad, she looks like this. [inhales sharply, grunting as his face turns red; exhales] Whoa, I almost passed out.

Emira:
You're pretty fun, human.

[She and Edric nod at each other.]

Emira:
So, hey, we're coming back tonight. There's a certain book we forgot to... check out.

Edric:
And bonus, rumor has it the Wailing Star's supposed to unlock some rare magical event. You in, friend?

Luz:
Sure.

Edric:
Great. Meet back here at midnight. See you, Luz.

[The twins leave. Luz waves at them.]

Luz:
Bye. This is great. First I befriend the siblings then I befriend the Amity. [squeals and runs off]

[Amity is standing around the corner, likely having seen the whole thing. She holds her breath until her face turns red.]

Amity:
[grunts] Phew! Almost passed out.

[Cut to the Owl House living room, where the baby bat is crying. King has pillows tied to his head and Eda has both her hands detached and plugging her ears while her arms are crossed.]

King:
It's been hours. How can it keep screaming?

Eda:
Ugh. I hate it too, pip‐squeak. [reattaches her hands] But think about the money.

[The crying continues. Three glass bottles shatter. The glass covering Eda's wanted poster cracks.]

King:
No amount of snails is worth this torture. [falls to the floor] Make it stop.

Eda:
[sighs] I can't believe I'm about to do this.

[She picks the bat up. It immediately stops crying. King and Eda both look at it in disbelief.]

Eda:
Rock, rock. Maternal gesture.

[Luz enters the house.]

Luz:
I just had the best day. Cool teens like me. Call me a library book 'cause they were checking me out.

[She looks over at the couch.]

Luz:
Aw, Eda, you look so motherly.

Eda:
Say that again and I steal your tongue.

Luz:
[walks over] Aw. How can you say that around this cute little baby?

[Luz repeatedly pokes the baby bat. It wakes up and barfs out a smaller version of itself, as does that version. They all chirp and flap their wings.]

Luz:
[recoils] Whoa!

[The bats fly upwards, still chirping. One of them breathes fire. Eda, King, and Luz all scream and run away from the couch, which is the unfortunate target. Luz runs for the door.]

Luz:
[putting her messenger bag on] Parenting sure looks rewarding. E‐Enjoy your life lessons. Bye.

[She closes the door as she leaves. The bats fly around, knocking things off shelves and causing mayhem. Eda is holding King.]

King:
Uh, for, for the money?

Eda:
For the money. [yelps]

[She ducks out of the way of a green liquid that splashes the wall. Cut to the library that night, crickets chirping. Luz is pacing next to a pillar.]

Luz:
Gotta be cool. [rests her arm on the pillar] Cool? [shakes her head and facepalms] No. [leans against the pillar] Cool. [grunts as she kneels down while throwing a peace sign; groans and drops her head]

Emira:
Keep going.

Luz:
Huh? [falls]

Emira:
[leaning against the opposite pillar] This is fun to watch.

Edric:
You ready to bring this whole, uh, whatever you're doing, inside?

Luz:
[nods] Mm‐hmm‐mm‐hmm.

[They all approach the door.]

Edric:
It says no trespassing but I'm allergic to the rules. [pulls out a piece of paper and hands it to Emira]

Emira:
And dairy.

Edric:
Wow, okay. Just expose me.

[The paper glows. Emira puts it against the lock on the door. The paper crumbles.]

Luz:
Wow!

[The lock grows until it's large enough for them to walk through.]

Edric:
Come on.

[The lock shrinks back down once they all enter. Cut to inside.]

Luz:
Standing in a dimly lit lobby. You guys know how to party.

Edric:
There. The Wailing Star!

[The Wailing Star sobs as it passes the stained glass window.]

Luz:
Whoa.

[The three of them look around for several seconds as the books slowly begin glowing green.]

Edric:
Hmm. Nothing happened.

Luz:
Wait. [grabs a book titled "Extinct Birds of the Boiling Isles".] The books are all glowy.

[She opens the book. Almost immediately, something screeches as the birds in the book come to life. They fly around the lobby.]

Emira:
Wow!

Edric:
Wow. The Wailing Star magicked the books to life.

[Luz, still watching the birds, closes the book. The birds disappear. The three of them share a look, and then grins.]

[Cut to a magazine stand. Edric opens "Regal Couture," which dresses him and Emira in fancy clothing. A peacock flies out of it. Luz grabs "Witch Wares Weekly" and gets a giant sword, among other things. Luz yelps as she falls over.]

[Cut to the three of them standing next to the graphic novel section. Luz opens one.]

Luz:
Nothing happened.

[Her words appear in a dialogue bubble. They all gasp when it appears, the twins taking steps back.]

Edric & Emira: Wow!

[That too comes out in a word bubble. Both pop when Luz closes the book, a "THUMP" sound bubble appearing as she does.]
