The Owl House

Season #2 Episode #2: Escaping Expulsion

---

[The scene opens with an exterior shot of Blight Industries. Green smokes are coming out of the chimneys. We see a banner that says "PRIVATE SALE". Various hooded figures are seen entering the building. Edric and Emira are at the door. Edric puts a paper which says "HEX ME" on one of the hooded figure's back. The twins giggle. The scene then cuts to inside the factory. The hooded figures gather in front of a stage. 2 hooded figures are standing on a stage. A light shines on them.]

Odalia:
(grins) Welcome, valued investors, to our annual (takes off the hood) Blight Industries private sale!

[Alador takes off the hood, but trips while doing it.]

Odalia:
If you're interested in reliable home security, we're here to help. (whispers) And, if you've got an enemy or two... Well, who are we to judge?

[The investors laugh. Odalia points at Alador.]

Odalia:
This is my husband Alador Blight, the greatest abomination creator of the era. My name is Odalia, and as an oracle, I predict you'll love what we've got in store for you tonight. We are proud to present... the first glimpse of our crowning achievement.

[Odalia and Alador step aside, and up rises Amity with a dry expression on her face, and next to her is a strange abomination-like creature in armor.]

Odalia:
The Abomaton Soldier!

[The investors clap. The scene cuts to the Abomaton pouring tea for Amity, doing her hair, and standing ready for a fight.]

Odalia:
It will pour your tea! Help you keep up with the latest trends! And best of all, it will defend you against any unwanted visitors!

Odalia:
(through her necklace) Mama to Mittens, remember our deal: Make this look good, and we'll forgive your recent lackluster performance in school.

Amity:
(sighs) Yes mom.

[Abomaton tries to pound Amity but misses.]

Amity:
(monotonic) Wow it's so fast and strong. Order now.

[Investors claps and cheers, Alador yawns. Abomaton grabs Amity.]

Amity:
(monotonic) Oh no, it's undefeatable. How will I ever escape?

[A picture falls from Amity's sleeve.]

Amity:
Huh?

[Abomaton almost steps on the picture. Amity gasps, then casts spell circle to destroy Abomaton.]

[Crowd gasps, murmurs.]

Random investor:
That's awful.

[Crowd turns and start leaving.]

Odalia:
Oh, of course, w-well that was but a beta test. We can't wait to see you all next week when reveal the uh... the finished product in all its glory!

Odalia:
(turns towards Amity angrily) Amity! You just lost us a lot of money! What's with you lately?!

[Amity stares longingly at a picture of her with Luz, Willow and Gus taken during Grom Night.]

Odalia:
I see. Looks like our precious mittens has been getting... distracted. (angry expression while thinking)

-THEME SONG-

[Hooty smashes his face into a steel bucket 3 times.]

Luz:
Light in the darkness, a glittering bridge of ice, the mightiest tree in the forest! You can make all these, and more, with glyph magic! Welcome to day 3 of Luz's magic boot camp!

[Fire glyph ignites, King screams and runs away. Scene cuts to Lilith cheering and clapping while Eda is carving something on the table.]

Luz:
Okay, we have covered every glyph I've learned up until now. So today, we'll learn something new.

Lilith:
Are we about to encounter a never-before-seen glyph?

Luz:
Un... fortunately no. These 4 either came from nature or another witch's spell. I- I don't know where to find more.

[Lilith and Eda stares at each other.]

Luz:
In any case, today we're learning how to alter glyphs to do specific things!

Lilith:
Miss teacher, did I do it right?

Luz:
Yeah! That's really good! Let's see how you're doing Eda.

[Eda carves 2 glyphs together on the table.]

Luz:
I- I don't think that's such a good-

Eda:
Double glyph combo, go!

[Eda slaps on the glyphs, they started flashing, then explodes.]

Eda:
Oh dang, I was hoping more of an ice blast situation.

Luz:
I know you're impatient to get your powers back, but try to master the basics before you start experimenting.

Eda:
Ugh, you're as boring as Lilith.

Hooty:
Toot toot! The Hexside train is a-coming! Chugga-chugga! (grabs Luz by her collar)

Luz:
Uh okay, uh, King's in charge while I'm gone. Bye!

[Hooty drags Luz away.]

King:
Hahah, power!

Eda:
Yes! Teacher's gone! Hah, I wonder what other combos I can try.

Lilith:
Teacher said we're supposed to master the basics before-

Eda:
Basics are so basic. Now if we want to be powerful again we're gonna have to start thinking outside the box!

Lilith:
If we want to be powerful again, we have to use glyphs perfectly! And we can only do that through "memorization", "repetition" and "following the rules".

Eda:
Well, I'm more interested in "experimentation", "innovation" and uh, "laughing at tools!" Like you! Hah! (walks away)

Lilith:
Ugh! (stares down at King scratching himself)

King:
Weh? Yeah yeah, I'll deal with it. No one ever said power came with responsibility...

[Scene cuts to Hexside School of Magic and Demonics exterior.]

Luz:
Okay, first day back after the petrification ceremony. Just be chill.

[Luz pushes door open, and is seen by Willow and Gus. They run towards each other screaming happily.]

Luz:
Oh my gosh!

Gus:
Luz! You're okay!

Luz:
Whoa, Gus! Did I uh, miss a birthday or something?

Gus:
Witch puberty.

Luz:
I can't thank you guys enough for helping me and Eda at the conformatorium.

Gus:
That's cool, I just hope it helps Eda learn my name. She keeps calling me Goops.

Unknown student:
Hey Goops!

Gus:
(dejected) It's already spreading...

Amity:
Hey Luz!

Luz:
Amity!

Amity:
In celebration of your return, I've brought you a homemade fairy pie.

Luz:
Oh wow! That sounds so-

[Scene cuts to the fairy pie, which is filled with still alive screaming fairies.]

Luz:
(disgusted expression) ...Gooood...

Amity:
The ingredients are... very fresh.

Luz:
Thank you. (takes the pie) You know, after everything that's happened, I'm just happy to return to some sense of normalcy.

[Sounds coming through school PA system.]

Principal Bump:
You can't just barge in here!

Odalia:
Yes we can. We are the Parent Creature Association. Luz Noceda, Willow Park and Augustus Porter, report to Principal Bump's office now! And you too, Amity.

Amity:
(surprised) Mom?!

[Scene cuts to Principal Bump's office.]

Odalia:
The abomination situation, the destruction of detention, the rampage of grom. These are but a few of the incidents that have endangered Hexside students, including our daughter.

[Amity stares at her mother angrily.]

Odalia:
So, the PCA has decided to... (clears throat)

Alador:
Oh, right. Um, these 3 are bad influences and must be executed.

[Amity, Luz, Willow and Gus gasps.]

Alador:
Ahem, I mean expelled.

Luz and Gus:
What?!

[Amity stares at her mother furiously.]

Odalia:
(through Amity's necklace) Take this as a lesson mittens, a Blight always upholds their end of the deal.

[Amity gasps, then backs down with a dejected look.]

Principal Bump:
Sadly, I have no choice in the matter. Luz, Willow, Augustus, effective immediately you are no longer students of Hexside.
