Season #1 Episode #15: Understanding Willow

---

Eda:
Shh! [floats] Noteworthy? [gestures to wanted poster] I'm public enemy number one. Accomplished? I'm the greatest witch who ever lived!

[The mural on the ceiling glows as Eda poses dramatically. Gus turns to his illusion.]

Gus:
What do you think?

King:
I think not! [bursts through Illusion Gus's chest]

Gus:
Aaa!

King:
If you're handing out attention, I deserve it. Nyeh!

[King jumps to the floor. Gus's illusion disappears in a puff of blue. The real Gus looks at King and Eda.]

Gus:
I will choose one of you, but which one? If you want to get picked, you'll have to impress me.

[King and Eda glare at each other.]

[Cut to Willow's mind. Montage of Luz and Amity fixing Willow's memories: Willow and her dads playing on the swings. Willow and Amity reading 13+ romance novels. Amity waving for Willow to join her on the "Roller Ghoster."]

Young Willow:
[screams] I don't feel so good!

Luz:
We don't need to see how this one ends... [turns the memory around]

Amity:
Yeah, Willow threw up a lot that day. That's when you knew she was havin' fun.

Luz:
Ew... I mean, aw!

[Amity looks downcast.]

Luz:
Hey, you okay?

Amity:
Yeah, I just... I can't believe I almost erased all of this. I really messed things up.

Luz:
Don't worry. We've gotten really good at fixing memories! I won't rest until we've got this all sorted out. Repeat after me: "We can fix this together!" Come on!

Amity:
[smiles] We can fix this together. [blushes]

Luz:
Heck yeah we can! I know some of these memories must be painful for you, but, what happened to you guys? And why are you trying to hide it?

Amity:
I just...

[Amity notices a pink fire monster stepping out from behind a tree.]

Amity:
[gasps, points] What's that!?

[Luz turns to see nothing.]

Luz:
Look, if you don't wanna talk about it, just say so. [walks off]

Amity:
No, I actually saw something! At least I... I think I did.

Luz:
If you need me, I shall be fixing this memory of a ball pit.

Amity:
Wait, that's not--

Luz:
[enters, immediately ducks back out with an egg on her head] It's eggs! It's full of eggs! Why is this memory full of eggs?!

Amity:
Yeah, that one's hard to explain.

[Cut to the Owl House. King is looking at himself in a hand mirror.]

Eda:
Just give up, King, 'cause I got this.

King:
You got nothing. No one could turn down an interview with someone this pretty!

[The lights flick off.]

King:
[drops mirror] Weh?

Eda:
Hm?

Gus:
[summons a ball of light] If you want this interview, you're gonna have to start answering some tough questions. [to King] Where were you born?

King:
Weh?

Gus:
[to Eda] What'd you eat for breakfast this morning?

Eda:
Wha?

Gus:
[to King] What's your greatest strength?

King:
My decisiveness. W-wa-Wait, I changed my mind!

Gus:
This will be the single greatest interview of all time. So if you want it, you'll have to dazzle me! [turns one ball of light into dozens]

Eda:
The kid scares me.

[Cut to Willow's mind. Luz is pulling an egg shell off her head.]

Amity:
We're getting pretty good at fixing these.

Luz:
[inhales] Phew! [tosses egg] Yeah. And there's only one last memory to fix! The one you're suspiciously avoiding.

Amity:
Me? Avoid? No. But let's skip it! Where's Eda's bell?

[Amity runs at Luz. Luz stops her with one hand on Amity's face.]

Luz:
Amity, you gotta stop being weird. We have to fix all of them. Unless... there's something in there you don't want me to see.

[Amity crosses her arms defensively.]

Luz:
Look, I'm not here to judge, I'm just here to help Willow.

Amity:
Help? All you're doing is prying into your friends lives!

[Luz looks ashamed. Smoke drifts in.]

Amity:
Well, did you ever think maybe it's none of your business? [sniffs] Is something...burning?

Luz & Amity:
[gasps]

[Luz and Amity turn to see pink flames destroying the memories they had just fixed.]

Luz:
Look!

[The pink monster reappears and runs toward the two, causing them to scream.]

Amity:
Hide, hide, hide!

[Amity drags Luz behind the egg memory tree. The pink monster jumps into the photo. Luz and Amity look at the photo as it reignites.]

Luz:
Oh no! That thing is burning up all the memories!

Amity:
Please call Eda, I don't wanna be here when it comes out!

[Luz grabs the bell and rings it. Cut to the Owl House, where Eda is ringing several bells, with even more on the coffee table in front of her.]

Eda:
How's that for interesting? There's levels to me kid, levels I say!

Gus:
Yes, that was nice.

King:
No it wasn't! If you want noise, I'll give you noise!

[King slides on the table, sending the bells flying. He slams a spoon against a metal sheet. Gus smiles and writes on his notepad. Cut back into Willow's mind.]

Amity:
[ringing the bell with every word] Why won't she answer?

Luz:
Yeah... she's not super reliable.

[The flames behind them grow.]

Luz:
Run!

Amity:
AH!

[Luz and Amity run as the monster emerges. It enters several more photos.]

Amity:
Why is it destroying all the photos?

Luz:
I don't know. [looks at the swing photo] That one hasn’t been burned, [looks at the holiday photo] or that one! [looks at the library photo, gasps] Amity, that thing isn't after any photo. It's after you!

[The monster turns and locks eyes with Amity.]

Amity:
What?

Monster:
[growls, burns brighter, runs]

Luz:
Run! I have an idea! [shoves Amity to the beach photo]

Amity:
We can't go in there, I'm in there!

Luz:
Just trust me!

[Luz shoves Amity in. She checks to see if the monster is following them before jumping in herself. Both land on their faces. Luz stands and drags her finger in the sand, drawing a large circle.

Luz:
Time for a swimming lesson!

[Luz slams the circle. The inside of it turns blue, and the inner lines of the ice glyph appear (though the central vertical line is missing). A pillar of ice begins to grow from the glyph. The monster leaps through the photo and lands on the pillar as it grows, and the monster slides into the lake. Luz and Amity look around the pillar.]

Luz:
Woo! Teamwork baby!

[Luz hugs Amity, causing her to blush. Amity looks down at Luz's arms, then up at the lake.]

Amity:
Luz.

[A shadow is standing in the lake, obscured by fog. The fog clears, revealing Willow, pink flames around her. She looks at Luz and Amity.]

Amity:
Are you... the Inner Willow?

Inner Willow:
[eyes turn completely purple] I was. Love, sadness, fear. [her footsteps leave flames in the sand] I used to be a being made of all emotions. But ever since you set Willow's mind on fire, all I can feel is anger! [anger echoes]

[Her hands ignite in flames. Around them, the memory starts to burn again. A tree is set on fire, then another, and then the fort. The flag burns to ash. Luz and Amity watch the destruction.]

Luz:
Please! Stop!

Inner Willow:
But Amity wanted this. [summons the birthday party photo, grabs it with a hand made of fire] Every moment she touched, I'm going to burn.

Amity:
You're just hurting Willow. Why are you doing this?
