Season #1 Episode #16: Enchanting Grom Fright

---

Amity:
[chuckles] No, but that's a good idea. Thanks, Luz.

[Amity leaves.]

Luz:
Hm.

Snaggleback:
PUT DOWN A TARP, I'M GONNA PUKE!

[Luz hurries out. Cut to the Owl House, the door to Eda's room.]

Luz:
[offscreen] I'm home!

[poking noise]

Eda:
[offscreen] OW!

[Luz enters.]

Luz:
Guys?

[We see Eda in a brown tuxedo with King, standing on a stack of books, wearing a green apron.]

Eda:
Careful with those pins.

King:
Why am I doing this? I don't even wear clothes!

Luz:
Hey, sweet duds, owl lady! What's the haps? [sits on Eda's nest]

Eda:
I'm chaperoning Grom tonight. So I have to look sharp.

King:
And Gus asked me to co-emcee the fight!

[King holds up a poster of him and Gus, standing back-to-back in sunglasses, Gus holding a microphone.]

King:
We're going to turn this blood-bath into a fun-bath!

Eda:
Ooh! Have they announced the victim yet?

Luz:
Yeah. It's Amity. She's kinda freaking out though. I wish I could, like, take her place or something.

[Eda and King laugh.]

King:
A great joke, Luz!

[They continue laughing.]

Eda:
Ah, listen, kid. That's a noble sentiment, but Grom is a little above your pay-grade. You're a human. You're... fragile.

[Luz gets up and marches towards Eda.]

Luz:
Hey! I've been learning lots of new spells! I could totally handle it.

Eda:
There's a horrifying spider in your hair.

Luz:
Nope. I'm not as fragile as you think, Eda. And I can't be so easily fooled, either.

[Luz turns around, revealing there is in fact a horrifying spider in her hair. She slams the door as she leaves.]

King:
Uh, maybe you were too hard on her. She's saved you from multiple monsters, remember?

Eda:
Facing Grom means facing your worst fear, King. And I don't think Luz knows what that means yet.

[She looks at herself in the mirror, pauses.]

Eda:
Do you think I could pull of red eyeshadow?

King:
Girl, you can pull off anything! Up top! [they high-five] We're style geniuses!

[Cut to the forest. It is dark. Luz is holding a branch and tears through the brush, angry.]

Luz:
"Fragile". Eda doesn't know me! I-I'm brave! I'm a bad boy!

[She hears footsteps and yelps.]

Luz:
Ominous footsteps, creepy woods. This is no problem.

[She braces for impact and holds up her branch.]

Luz:
LUZ CHOP! AAAAAAHHHHHH!

[She lunges forward and unknowingly hits Amity, knocking her down.]

Amity:
Ow!

Luz:
[gasp]

[Luz pulls out a light-glyph, activating it immediately and holding it up to reveal Amity in the mud.]

Luz:
Oh my gosh, Amity! I'm so sorry!

[She tries to help Amity up, though the witch slips in the mud.]

Amity:
[sighs] And here I thought this day... Oop!

[Luz pulls Amity to standing. They stare at each other for a second. Amity sits down on a tree stump.]

Amity:
...couldn't get any worse.

[Luz looks around before plopping herself in the mud.]

Luz:
Did you talk to Bump? Was it as terrifying as you imagined?

Amity:
[sigh] He said no. I'm Grom queen, unless I can find a replacement. And who'd want to switch with me?

[Amity curls in on herself. Luz looks down. Then her face brightens.]

Luz:
I would.

Amity:
What?

Luz:
[stands] Amity Blight, I'll do it. I'll take your place and face Grom in the arena. I'll be your fearless champion!

[The spider that was in Luz's hair crawls onto her face. She screams and faceplants into the mud. Amity looks on, concerned.]

Luz:
[weakly] fearless... champion..

[Cut to Luz's room in the Owl House. She rummages through a chest of clothes and pulls out a black dress.]

Luz:
Hmmm....

[She pulls out an otter suit.]

Luz:
Hmm!

[Her phone buzzes. She picks it up, a text from her mom: "Mira! Visiting our fav after school snack spot !" Then is a selfie of Camila holding a sandwhich outside of a store with a sign reading "Chimichurri Sandwhiches!" Another text reads, "Miss you BEBE! XO" Luz replies "
