Emira:
Ed, give me the bat.

Edric:
No! If we're not gonna eat it, I wanna keep it as a pet! [runs off]

[Emira and Amity follow him.]

Emira:
Get back here before that thing bites you!

[Luz sneaks into the Blights' tent and takes Amity's wand and book. She goes to a ledge near her and Eda's tent, where she kneels down and opens the book. Inside is a drawing Amity made.]

Luz:
Huh. Her crosshatching has improved.

[She moves Amity's drawing to show a page titled "Fireball." Under an image of a witch casting the spell is the word "FOCUS" written in runes.]

Luz:
Oh man, oh man. [stands and draws a circle with the wand; gasps] Yes!

[She shoots the fireball off. It explodes like a firework.]

Luz:
I did magic! I did magic!! [jumps in place] Without drawing anything! This thing is the coolest!

Eda:
Hold it right there. What are you doing with that?

Luz:
I'm doing magic, what would you have me do? Eat more snow? Lick a rock?

Eda:
[pauses] Okay, so maybe my methods are... unique, but so is your magic. Connecting to the island can help you. That wand can't.

Luz:
Well, it's already helped me. Just watch what I can do!

[She draws out another spell circle. The power bar on the wand flashes a low battery bar. Luz looses control of the fireball.]

Luz:
Wh... whoaaa!

[The fireball goes off further into the Knee. When it lands, birds fly off.]

Slitherbeast:
[growls]

Eda:
[gasps]

[The Slitherbeast jumps over the trees. A large patch of fur has been burned off over its mouth.]

Slitherbeast:
[growls]

Eda:
You've angered the Slitherbeast.

Slitherbeast:
[growls]

Eda:
You've angered the Slitherbeast!

Luz:
Will it accept a heartfelt apology?

[The Slitherbeast sniffs and sees the still smoldering-tip of Amity's training wand. It growls and runs at Luz.]

Luz:
[screams]

Eda:
[shoves Luz] Watch out!

Slitherbeast:
[grabs Eda]

Eda:
[screams, strains]

Slitherbeast:
[growls]

Luz:
Eda!

Amity:
Luz!

[The Blights arrive.]

Edric:
What did we miss?

Amity:
And what are you doing with my wand?

Luz:
Um...

[Amity takes her wand and her book and holds them protectively.]

Emira:
Mittens, we've got bigger problems.

[The Slitherbeast advances on them, Eda still held in one claw. It growls at them.]

Emira:
[running in front of Luz and Amity] Aw, he's so cute. Can we keep him?

Edric:
[runs up with Emira] It's no bat, but we could try.

[Edric and Emira both cast a lasso at the Slitherbeast's hands. It growls and pulls at the bonds. Edric and Emira struggle to keep hold.]

Eda:
You got it! Now finish it off!

Amity:
I'm on it! [runs forward and tries to cast with her wand, fails] What?

[Amity smacks the wand against her hand, then notices the low battery light. She turns to Luz.]

Amity:
Did you use this all up?

Luz:
I... I didn't know!

Emira:
Come on, Luz!

Edric:
Do those powerful spells you were talking about!

Luz:
But I don't actually... know any.

[The Slitherbeast growls and frees its hands with a yell. Emira and Edric are yanked into the snow.]

Amity:
Edric! Emira!

[The Slitherbeast picks up the Blights, but Amity falls through.]

Amity:
No!

[The Slitherbeast puts Edric and Emira into the claw holding Eda and runs off. The captured witches yell as the Slitherbeast goes. Amity and Luz follow them for a bit, then stop, panting.]

[Cut to the Owl House living room, where King's toys have loaded up the couch with snacks.]

King:
Yep, keep 'em coming. [to Aloysius Turtle] And don't forget the pretzels this time. [takes bag of chips and opens it] Running a boot camp is tough work, but as my second-in-command, you deserve this.

[King dumps the chips onto Francois. New Guy watches them fall and tries to reach for one.]

King:
Hey, hey! Private New Guy! You're not privy to snacking privileges, back away!

[New Guy's eyes glow red again, this time not fading back to blue. He walks off the arm of the couch without breaking eye contact with King.]

King:
[yawns] Leading this boot camp has tuckered a little guy out, so Sergeant King signing off.

[King puts a night cap on Francois and himself and closes his eyes. A shadow falls over him.]

King:
[opens eyes] Excuse me?

[New Guy is looming over him, his eyes still glowing.]

King:
Could you maybe turn down those eyeballs? Trying to sleep.

[He closes his eyes again. More shadows fall over him. King opens his eyes. All of the animated toys are now looming over him, their eyes glowing. Beefy Bob pulls New Guy's string.]

New Guy:
Don't you want a hug?

King:
[hugs Francois] Ah!

[Cut to the Knee, where Luz and Amity watch trees shake as the Slitherbeast runs through them.]

Luz:
What do we do?

Amity:
I am going after them. You are staying here.

Luz:
But the beast has Eda!

Amity:
[advances on Luz] And because of you, it also has my brother and sister! Now stay put. [pauses] You'll only get hurt.

[She draws a circle in the air. A matching circle appears on the ground around Luz. With a flick of Amity's hand, a cage rises from the circle on the ground. Amity runs.]

Luz:
Amity! Wait! [gets shocked by Amity's cage] Stupid island. [kicks rock] Ugh! Ow. [sits on the rock, looks at the Titan's Skull] You were supposed to teach me magic.

[She looks up, where clouds are parting to reveal stars. Snow is beginning to fall.]

Luz:
But I'll never learn more than this.

[She pulls a notepad and a pencil from her pocket and draws a light glyph. She activates it and watches as it flies into the sky. Stars blink above.]

Luz:
Wait. Is that...

[The stars form a constellation in the form of her light glyph. She traces the outer ring with her finger.]

Luz:
...a light glyph? But what does that mean?

[A snowflake lands on her glove. She looks at it, seeing a pattern in the center before it melts.]

Luz:
Whoa.

[Determined, she grabs a stick. She breaks a twig off of it and catches another snowflake.]

Luz:
It means... magic is a gift from the island. It means...

[She draws the glyph from the snowflake into the snow with the twig, adding a diamond to the bottom. She taps the glyph on the ground, backing away when a small pillar of ice rises from it.]

Luz:
...magic is everywhere!

[Luz grabs the bigger stick and replicates the ice glyph, this time the entire size of the cage.]

Luz:
Magic is everywhere!

[She jumps off the rock and activates the giant glyph. The resulting ice pillar grows taller than the cage, launching her through the air.]

Luz:
Woooo-- aaah! [lands in the snow] My second spell! [pops out] Thank you, snow! Thank you, island! Thank you, Eda. [pauses] Eda! I have to save her. [gets out of her hole and runs]

[Cut to outside of the Owl House. Hooty is listening to loud music through headphones.]

King:
[from inside] Hey! How dare you mutiny! Unhand your commander right now! Ah! [is thrown through a window with Francois] I gave you life, I can take it away!

[Arrows and knives land around King.]

King:
AH!

Hooty:
[knocks headphones off]

King:
[rolls over, stands] Hooty, Hooty! Great news, buddy, you can be in the boot camp! First task: destroy the boot camp.
