The Owl House

Season #1 Episode #12: Adventures in the Elements

---

[Open on the Owl House living room. Luz is reading a pamphlet about Hexside, labeled "Hexside Facts and Trivia." It has a picture of Principal Bump on the back along with his quote, "Education is the real magic."]

Luz:
King, listen to this!

King:
[laying on Luz's stomach] Hey! Less ready, more scratchy!

Luz:
[sits up] Sorry! Now that I'll be a student at Hexside, I wanna learn all about it! I've got a new crush, and her name is Education!

King:
[bites the pamphlet] Nyah!

Eda:
[kicks the front door open] Hey freeloaders! Guess what today is?

Luz:
Is it your birthday!?

King:
Is it my birthday?

Hooty:
It's my birthday!

Eda:
No! [closes front door] It's human treasure day!

[Eda tosses the Portal Door into the air. It unfolds and opens. Owlbert flies through, dragging a giant sack. The sack tears when he flips it onto the floor, revealing a pile of human garbage. The door closes.]

Eda:
[hops onto the pile] Ahh, fresh garbage.

King:
Ooo, gimme gimme gimme! [pulls out a teddy bear] Yes! Another worthy addition to my army of terror!

New Guy:
I love cuddles and kisses!

King:
Truly horrifying!

Eda:
[to Luz] Yo, kid. Your trash pile's getting cold. While mine's getting hot! [pulls out a wire clothes hangar] I have never seen such an extravagant earring.

Luz:
You can have my trash. Whoa! Did you know that Hexside was built on the bones of its rival school? One it literally conquered!

[Luz shows off the pamphlet, showing a picture of a much younger Principal Bump standing on various Glandus students, being cheered on by fellow Hexside students. The school burns behind them.]

Eda:
[now wearing two clothing hangars as earrings and looking in a mirror] Yes I know all these things, I went there. It was the most harrowing period of my life. [to her reflection] Oh, hello!

Luz:
Can you imagine it! Me, in the halls of Hexside, studying with Willow and Gus and- maybe even Amity! Amity! Oh cramity! We're supposed to meet so I can get my Azura book back! [runs out, slams door; reopens door] I love you guys!

Hooty:
And I love you, Lu--!

[Luz slams the door again.]

Hooty:
Aaah!

Eda:
Eh, who needs her?

King:
Yeah! This bear could be our new Luz.

New Guy:
Being without you is just unbearable.

King:
No! [throws New Guy] You're unbearable!

[THEME]

[Cut to the market.]

Luz:
[running and looking around] Amity, Amity, Amity, Amity. Gotta find that- oh! There she is. Hey Amity! Luz is finally here!

[Edirc and Emira suddenly appear in front of Luz, surprising her]

Edric & Emira: Hi Luz!

Luz:
Aa! [falls]

Edric & Emira: [laughing]

Amity:
Edric! Emira! Stop bothering her! [helps Luz up] Sorry, Luz, they insisted on coming for some reason.

Emira:
[squishing Amity's face] Because we love you baby sister! Ah!

Amity:
[shoves Emira off] They've been extra protective and nice towards me to make up for the library incident.

Edric:
[leaning in] And we still apologize everyday.

Amity:
[shoves Edric away, pulls book out of bag] In any case, here's your book.

Luz:
[takes the book] So, what'd you think?

Amity:
It was... fine.

Luz:
[pulls a drawing out of the book] So fine you drew yourself with Malingale the Mysterious Soothsayer?

Amity:
[blushes, destroys drawing]

Luz:
This is great! Maybe we could even start an Azura club at school when we're classmates!

Amity:
When we're what?

Luz:
Surprise! [pulls out the pamphlet] I'm enrolling at Hexside!

Amity:
Oh! Uh, sorry, but to be in my class, you need to take a placement exam and prove that you've mastered two spells. [shows the requirements on the pamphlet] I know you have your light thing. Uh, do you know anything else?

Luz:
Placement exam? Spells?

Emira:
Quit giving her a hard time, Mittens.

Edric:
Yeah, of course she knows two spells. Right, Luz?

Luz:
Pff. Yeah. 'Course I know two spells! [laughs nervously]

Amity:
Because if you don't, they'll put you in the baby class.

[Amity hands Luz the pamphlet back, now flipped to the baby class page.]

Edric:
Oooh! Brain idea!

[Edric kneels in front of Amity. Emira leans on Amity's back, trapping her between them.]

Emira:
What if we all trained together? We could show off what we know!

Edric:
What do you say, Luz?

Luz:
Uh, actually, I have other training plans in a very far away place that I have to go to right now. [pretends to walk away] Bye! [actually leaves]

[Cut to the Owl House kitchen. Eda is reading a book titled "Bending Ingredients to Your Will."]

Eda:
[humming] Wow, a surprisingly peaceful domestic moment. When will it be ruined?

Luz:
[slams the front door open] Edaaaa!

Eda:
There it is.

Luz:
Eda, Eda! Eda! [falls] You have to teach me a new spell right now!

Eda:
Sorry, Luz! These vegetables won't cook themselves... yet.

[Eda dumps a potion onto vegetables. They all grow arms and legs.]

Eda:
Alright, everybody in the pot!

Vegetables:
[scream and run]

Eda:
Why do I always think that's gonna work?

Luz:
[stands] But I need to know two spells to get into decent classes at Hexside. I can make light glyphs. [pulls one out and activates it]

Eda:
Aah!

Luz:
But at the end of the day, that's the only spell I know. [falls face-first to the floor]

Eda:
And whose fault is that?

Luz:
[muffled] Yours!

Eda:
Hah! Yep. Got me there.

Luz:
[stands] Just teach me a spell now. Any spell! It can be the darkest evil.

Eda:
Well, I have been researching my texts on wild magic, but I'm much too busy right now. [throws book in the pot]

Luz:
Come on Eda! You're the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles. How would it look if your apprentice got thrown into the baby class?

Eda:
Hmm. Weaponizing my pride. Well played. Well, in that case, this looks like a job for magic boot camp.

King:
[opens back door] Did someone say boot camp? I agree to run it. We'll rise at dawn! You'll carry me on your back as I yell hateful things about your performance!

Eda:
Nope. You'll have no part in this. Luz needs to focus, and I can't have her go all weird when you do something adorable.

King:
I am not adorable! [stomps]

Luz:
Aww, he stamped his little foot!

[King squeals and leaves, slamming the door behind him. It reopens. He slams it again. It reopens. He slams it harder.]

Eda:
Now, no time to waste. You'll have to follow my teaching exactly. We gotta go somewhere special.

Luz:
Yes!

Eda:
A place where magic energy just flows.

Luz:
[climbs onto the counter; louder] Yes!

[Cut to Eda and Luz standing in winter gear surrounded by snow.]

Eda:
A place like, the Knee!

Luz:
YES!

[Luz's cry echoes across the Isles.]

Eda:
The earliest witches came to the Knee to develop their magic, drawn to its natural power.

Luz:
[gasps] It's beautiful!

[Ruins covered in snow are shown.]

Eda:
[gestures to the side] Though, it's not without its dangers.

Luz:
[screams]

[A Slitherbeast is gnawing on a tree trunk.]

Eda:
The Slitherbeast! Don't worry, if you don't mess with him, he won't mess with you.

[Luz blows a raspberry at the Slitherbeast. It bites through the tree trunk and sniffs in Luz's direction.]
