Season #1 Episode #12: Adventures in the Elements

---

Luz:
[yelps, runs off]

Eda:
Here's where we'll set up shop.

Luz:
I'll definitely learn my second spell here! Gorgeous views, magic in the air. And best of all, we're completely alone!

[A pink light illuminates her.]

Eda:
Watch out!

[Eda tackles Luz seconds before a pink fireball hits the spot Luz had been standing in. Eda pops up over the rocks they fell behind with her staff drawn. Luz also pops up.]

Luz:
[gasps]

Amity:
Sorry, whoever's over there!

Luz:
[ducks back down, hides her face with her hat] Forget teaching me a spell, just make me disappear.

Eda:
Well, okay, but I've got a 60/40 record of making you re-appear. Oh! You meant... ah, never mind.

[Edric and Emira wave.]

Edric:
Hey Luz!

Emira:
Lu!

Edric:
Hey, it's us!

Luz:
Okay, let's do this. [stands and waves] Hey guys!

Eda:
Who are they?

Luz:
[grabs Eda's jacket] Be cool! If they know I haven't mastered two spells, they'll think I belong in the baby class!

Amity:
[walking toward them] What's that about the baby class?

Eda:
Only that it's for babies and Luz here clearly isn't a baby. [to Luz] Nailed it. [whistles and walks away]

Luz:
Amity! [slips] Wha... What are you doing here?

Amity:
I'm here to train. I'm trying to beat Ed and Em's highest score on the exam.

Emira:
[popping up from behind Amity] Aw, Mittens. That's impossible!

Edric:
[also popping up from behind Amity] She still needs to use a training wand to learn new spells. So what are you workin' on? Something powerful?

Luz:
Yup! Powerful spells! I'm workin' on one that's so crazy! Eda's a pretty incredible teacher.

Eda:
[carrying a basket of snowballs] Luz! I should now teach you how to identify different types of snow- by taste! [holds out a snowball] Go on, eat the snow. [shoves it in Luz's face]

Emira:
Is this some kind of... special magic?

Amity:
Ahem. I don't think the Owl Lady wants to show us any of her powerful spells. [leaves]

Eda:
[points at her mouth full of snowballs; swallows] Oooh. Brain freeze! Brain freeze!

Emira:
See you around, human! Good luck with your, uh, training.

[Edric picks up a clump of snow and tries to lick it. Emira knocks it out of his hand and drags him away.]

Edric:
Aw.

[Edric and Luz wave to each other.]

Luz:
Eda! Can you please take this seriously?

Eda:
You need to take me seriously. Go taste snow without my guidance, see where it gets you.

Luz:
[looks downcast]

Eda:
Oh. [sighs] Don't worry kid. [ruffles Luz's hair] If you listen to me, soon you'll be doing stuff like that.

[They look at the Blights. Amity reads from Magic 101, then aims her training wand at a tree and draws a spell circle with it. The produced fireball destroys the tree. The battery light on the training wand flashes.]

Eda:
And it won't be with some wack training wand, it'll be the real deal. But you have to trust me, okay?

Luz:
[nods] Okay. I trust you.

Eda:
We've covered snow, so now it's on to smelling moss. [pulls moss out of her pocket] Now the trick is, [shoves the moss up her nose] you really gotta get it up in there.

[Luz's expression falls. Cut to outside of the Owl House.]

King:
This is ludicrous! I once led armies. I can lead a dang boot camp! But I have no recruits. [looks at New Guy and Francois] Or do I?

Hooty:
Yep! It's your faithful pal Hooty reporting for duty! Up at dawn, taking orders all day long!

King:
Ugh, no! You are too desperate! [goes inside, returns with all his toys] Role call! [says their names as he puts them down] New Guy, Aloysius Turtle, Chip, Beefy Bob, Francois. [pause, picks up Francois] Oh, you're perfect already! As for the rest of you, I'm only saying this once so listen up!

[New Guy falls onto Aloysius Turtle.]

King:
Huh it's no fun if they don't tremble.

Vegetables:
[laugh, throw cooking supplies off cliff; cheer]

King:
Ohh okay, alright. [looks between the vegetables and his toys] Yep, an idea is happening!

[Cut to the Knee, where Eda is sitting in front of a fire drinking out of a mug and Luz is walking out from the forest.]

Luz:
Ugh. Okay. I've identified the smells of three different rocks, sorted all the twigs from big to small, and found your glove, and your hand. [lifts glove off of Eda's detached hand]

Eda:
Ah, I was wondering where that thing went. [screws her hand back on]

Luz:
So what now?

[Cut to Amity training with Edric and Emira. Amity sends a jet of fire at Edric with the training wand. He dodges it. Emira summons an arm of snow. Amity blocks and destroys it with a shield. Amity dispels the shield and waves at Luz. Edric uses the distraction to make Amity sink in the snow until only her hand is showing.]

Luz:
[giggles]

Eda:
Hey. I know my lessons seem weird but this is what wild magic is all about! Making a connection with nature. The earliest witches understood that. Human witches need to understand it too. You wanna learn a second spell?

Luz:
With all my heart.

Eda:
Then you have to learn from the island. [guides Luz to a rock, makes her sit down] Now look.

[The rock overlooks the Titan. Its Ribs are nearly the same height as the Knee, and Its Skull is towering even from the opposite end of the Isles. Luz stares at the sight in awe as wind blows past her.]

Eda:
And think about what the island is trying to tell you. [leaves]

Luz:
[takes deep breath] Alright, Luz. Look. Look with everything you've got. Focus. [raises her right hand and speaks through it]

Luz's Right Hand: Focus? On what? On you'll be stuck in the baby class?

Luz:
No! Don't think like that!

Luz Left Hand:
Face it, you'll never get a second spell following Eda's lessons.

Luz:
Silence, hands!

[A crash gets her attention. Amity has destroyed a pillar with her training wand.]

Emira:
[offscreen] Amity! Dinner's ready!

Edric:
[offscreen] I caught a bat!

Amity:
Edric, don't eat that. [puts her book and wand into her tent, walks off]

Luz:
If I wanna be in the same class as Amity, I'm gonna need to learn magic like Amity.

Luz's Left Hand:
Great work, Luz!

Luz:
Shh! I don't need your validation.

[Cut to the Owl House's kitchen.]

King:
Military discipline, cooking! Ha, I truly am a demon for all seasons! [pours the potion from earlier on his toys, except Francois] Just a dash of Eda's secret sauce and I'm the creator of life!

[The toys' arms start moving.]

King:
Yes, yes, yes! My loyal recruits!

[The toys all stand on two feet.]

King:
Welcome to boot camp! You sure need it. Look at you: raggedy, pathetic, chewed on, you got a button hangin' off of your eye. Pathetic! But I'll mold you worms into... slightly... better kinds of worms. Your first mission: gimme snacks! Your commander is hungry, so pick it up!

[Aloysius Turtle, Chip, and Beefy Bob walk in the direction King pointed, while New Guy walks the other way.]

King:
[smacks New Guy] Hey, Private Dingdong, snacks are that-a-way! You better shape up recruit, you're in my boot camp now.

[New Guy's eyes flash red. Cut to the Knee, where Edric is holding a bat. Emira and Amity glare at him.]
