Season #2 Episode #1: Separate Tides

---

King:
No, I'm not. [snoring]

[The Golden Guard looks up and sees shadows on the wall of Eda and Luz fighting the Selkidomus. Luz slays her, and begins dragging her head into the Golden Guard's view.]

Golden Guard:
Oh, that thing smells awful. Why are you touching it with your hands? Gross.

Luz:
You're gross. Now give me King.

Golden Guard:
Actually, he smells pretty bad too. Take him.

[He tosses her King's birdcage.]

Golden Guard:
Thank you for your service. You can find your own way home. And try to stay out of trouble. The Emperor is not a merciful man. Bye!

[The Golden Guard gets on his staff and vanishes. Luz blows a raspberry after he leaves. Beside the Selkidomus corpse, actually made entirely out of plant magic, Eda is drawing light glyphs and casting them, like how Luz did in The Intruder. Luz walks up to her.]

Eda:
My first glyph. Did I do good?

Luz:
Yeah. You did great.

[Enter the Selkidomus and her baby. The baby comes up to Luz and hugs her.]

Luz:
Baby! Awww.

King:
Wait, what is that?

Eda:
Don't worry, King. Once the mother saw we weren't a threat to her baby, she calmed down. [To the Selkidomus] This area is dangerous. You need to move further out into the sea.

[The Selkidomus nods, then regurgitates a pile of golden Selkigris.]

Eda:
Hot dang! It gave you the treasure of the sea.

Luz:
Gold? Tuna?

Eda:
It's selkigris. Ah, people pay big money for it at the Night Market. Ah, feel that money, Luz.

Luz:
No, Eda! Stop!

Eda:
Luxuriate in it. What, you don't like to luxuriate? There's a whole pile of luxury right in here.

Luz:
No, no, no, no, no.

[Eda throws Luz into the Selkigris.]

Eda:
Move over!

[Eda jumps in, flattening the pile.]

Luz:
Eda!

[They all laugh. Switch to Lilith at the Owl House, putting ointment on Hooty's stings.]

Lilith:
I'm sorry for sending you away before. It's hard for me to ask for help.

Hooty:
It's okay. I'm sorry for being all nosy-nosy. But hey, Lulu, every friendship comes with its ups and downs. Right, best friend?

Lilith:
I'm not commenting on that, Hootsifer.

Hooty:
A nickname? [laughing] Hoot.

[The cauldron with Lilith's scrying spell finishes brewing. It glows and bubbles.]

Lilith:
[gasps] The scrying potion, it's ready.

[A tired Eda, Luz, and King walk through the door.]

Eda:
We're home. [trips over Hooty]

Lilith:
Eda, come here. I have a gift for you. To prove that I'm trustworthy, I'm giving you a peek inside the Emperor's castle.

[Cauldron shows a corridor at the Emperor's Castle that splits into two paths. Four distracted guards at each side are doing nothing. A guard on the left turns to the guard on the right.]

Guard:
'Sup?

Guard:
'Sup?

Luz:
What are we supposed to do with this?

Lilith:
Whatever you want. Don't you see? These troops don't know what to do with themselves. So, go crazy. Pull whatever pranks your heart desires. They're clueless without me.

Eda:
Oh, Lily, you couldn't have been more right. And that Golden Guard... what a chump. Oh, I'm in a good mood. Who wants to get takeout and draw faces on Hooty?

King & Luz:
Yay! Me, me, me! I do! Yeah! I'm in!

Lilith:
I'll protect you, Hootsifer.

[Zoom into the cauldron. The Owl House is still having their conversation about take-out offscreen.]

Eda:
Alright, what do we wanna eat?

Luz:
Anything but seafood.

King:
Crackers.

Eda:
We're not ordering crackers.

Hooty:
Bees!

Lilith:
I'm fine with whatever. Things are starting to feel right again.

[Through the wall, in the scry, Belos pieces together the portal door.]

Belos:
Knock, knock, human.
