The Owl House

Season #2 Episode #1: Separate Tides

---

[Episode opens with Luz walking through a cave, face covered in determination, holding Owlbert staff and a light glyph]

Garlog:
[laughs]

Luz:
[gasps]

Garlog:
Foolish child. Leave this place before you meet your demise.

Luz:
Do not underestimate me, Garlog. For I am the good witch, Luz, hunter of monsters. [Prepares to blast Garlog] Now eat this sucka-- what?

[Camera pans down from the giant shadow, revealing that Garlog is tiny]

Garlog:
[squeaks]

Luz:
You're Garlog? This is pathetic.

Garlog:
Small I may be, but you will soon know fear when I lay waste to all that you- Luz: King, drop it now. Drop it now!

King:
[mumbles]

[Luz chases King]

Luz:
Drop it! No! I'm not gonna play right now! King!

[THEME]

[Wind howling. Cut to inside the Owl House where Luz sets a bottle with Garlog trapped inside where she sets up her phone and records a video]

Luz:
Boop! Hola, Mama! You haven't heard from me in a while. It's been a week and a half since the petrification ceremony. A week and a half since I...[laughs] destroyed the portal home. I had to. Emperor Belos was going to kill Eda if I didn't hand it over. But I couldn't let him use it, so I blew it up with some magic fire...? She's not gonna understand any of this. That's okay, Luz. Just keep moving forward. This world is filled with inexplicable magical wonders, like this portal key! I don't know if it contains magic, but I'm gonna study all I can, and find a way back to you. A-And look! [Lifts up her leg to show King holding onto it] I have friends to help me.

King:
I'm never letting you go! You're never returning to the human realm!

Luz:
He doesn't mean that. [covers camera]

King:
Yes I do!

Luz:
This is Eda the Owl Lady, the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles. Or at least she was until her curse overpowered her and weakened her magic. She's doing her best now. Eda was cursed by her own sister, Lilith. And she spent her entire life looking for a way to undo it. It's still hard for everyone to trust each other, but maybe with time we can all become friends.

Hooty:
Hello!

Lilith:
[screams]

Luz:
Even though Eda gets frustrated, she's found new ways to make up for her lost powers.

Eda:
Check it, Luz! A new hunting weapon. I will call her the Stab-Catcher.

Luz:
Without the portal, Eda has no human garbage to sell. So we've resorted to working odd jobs to keep food on the table.

Eda:
Hey, King, did you know that apple is a hat?

King:
Really?

Luz:
King! Hey, no! King! This week we're bounty hunters. Next week we could be anything. So, Mom, please don't be scared. I'm growing more and more every day, and I'm gonna do my best to become a full-fledged witch, and get home to you safe and sound. Te quiero, Mama. Te lo prometo, regresaré a casa pronto.

[Luz stops the video and tries to send it to her mom, but it gets declined]

Eda:
Luz! Time to bring these bad boys to market!

Lilith:
[grunts] Eda, do you own anything that isn't covered in feathers?

Eda:
I had to deal with a curse for 30 years, so I think you can handle a few feathers.

Luz:
Wow, the Emperor is really taking over.

Eda:
I see it too, Luz. And I'm trying to stay civil. [kicks a demon decked out in Emperor's Coven apparel]

Shopkeeper:
Tsk. Your payment.

Eda:
A single snail? Are you kidding me?

Shopkeeper:
[laughs] Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't done yet. [snaps snail in half]

Eda:
You can't do this to me. Do you know who I am?

Shopkeeper:
Yeah, you're Eda the Owl Lady. What are you gonna do? We all know you're powerless now.

Eda:
[growls] Ah! What the--

Townspeople:
Ah, this is awkward; Uh-oh

Eda:
I don't need your pity. I was the most wanted criminal for years. You should fear me.

Townspeople:
No magic?; Not so wanted anymore

Lilith:
[laughs] Don't worry, sister. At least my image still commands respect and fear.

King:
[laughs] You're a traitor.

Lilith:
What's going on? This is anarchy. Who told you to do this?

Luz:
The Golden Guard? Did you know him in the Coven, Lilith?

Lilith:
Unfortunately, I did. He always got special treatment because he was the genius teen prodigy. But he's really just a brat. If he's in charge... vomit. [mumbling, groans]

Luz:
Hey, I know! What we need is a confidence boost. Why don't we take on the biggest bounty we can find? It'll be great! Hmm. Lost Cerberus, no. Witch cackling lessons? [chuckles] Uh, but maybe not today. Aha! There's something called a "Selkidomus" ravaging boats up and down the coast. We'll be on a high-seas adventure.

Eda:
Hmm...no. We gotta keep a low profile while my powers are weakened. And we need fast cash. [gasps] How about this guy?

Luz:
"The Abominable Cutie Pie"?

Eda:
No, no, no. I hear it's very dangerous. [gasps] And look, there he is.

Abominable Cutie Pie: [giggles] You'll never catch me! You did it. You caught me.

Luz:
[groans]

Eda:
[sighs] Things aren't looking great, Lily. This bounty hunting stuff isn't putting food on the table.

Lilith:
[mumbling]

Eda:
Oh, I'm sure Luz could handle bigger bounties, but if we wanna eat we don't have the luxury to mess up even once.

Lilith:
[mumbling]

Eda:
No apple blood. I spent the money on griffin eggs for Luz. There's not a lot she can digest here so I make sure to have her favorites around.

Abominable Cutie Pie: That's rough, buddy. [screams]

Luz:
This is awful. Eda wouldn't be in this situation if it weren't for me. Maybe it would be better if I never came here. I can't change the past, but I can still change the future. I'm gonna help Eda and prove that I'm more than just a burden.

Luz:
The Selkidomus hunt. I want in.

[ship horn blowing]

Salty:
You think you can handle this, squirt?

Luz:
I can handle anything.

Eda:
Hey, Lily! How do I look?

Lilith:
Uh...

Eda:
Getting scammed at the market was such a bummer, but it gave me an idea on how to earn a little more cash. You wanna come? I may not be at full power, but I can still make potions!

Lilith:
I am quite fine. Thank you.

Eda:
Aight. Have fun wallowing in self-pity and feeling bad for cursing me. Byeeeeeee!

Lilith:
[sighs] I guess I deserve this. There's gotta be a way to make it up to her. Edalyn isn't the only Clawthorne with a talent for potions. [chuckles] Ooh. I bet she would love a peek inside the castle.

Hooty:
New roomie check-in!

Lilith:
[screams]

Hooty:
How's my bestie doing? A scrying potion!? [gasps] Lulu, you're trying to spy on your old buddies? I can help! We can find out their crushes. We can give them cute couple names!

Lilith:
No! I can do this alone. Don't follow me! And don't call me Lulu!

Hooty:
A good friend would respect her wishes, but a better friend would help no matter what!

Luz:
When we defeat the Selkidomus and get a boatload of snails, Eda won't have to worry about money for a long time.

King:
King want a cracker!

Salty:
All hands! Alright, crew. The Selkidomus has been ravaging the coastline. It was last seen in the Simmering Shoals. You know the drill, "Snag the quarry, get the money galore-y." We all do the work, we all get a cut.
