Season #2 Episode #2: Escaping Expulsion

---

Luz:
No!!! But us... Good... Amity, tell them!

[Odalia stares at Amity sternly while Amity looks at her with a defeated expression.]

Odalia:
Good. Now, you'll be taking double the classes to make up for lost time. Actually, I'm appalled that you're not in class right now. What are you thinking?

Amity:
Right, sorry.

[Odalia snaps her finger. 2 Hexside guards barge in and drag Willow, Gus and Luz away. ]

Gus:
No, please! Wait wait wait...!!!

Luz:
No wait, no! Amity! Amity!

[Odalia puts her hand on Amity's shoulder, while Amity glances back at Luz with a sad expression. The door closes.]

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

Gus:
It finally happened! Our memorable adventures caught up to us. Oh, my dad can't find out about this! (picks up leaf) I guess I'll have to start surviving off the land.

[Gus attemps to lick the leaf but couldn't bring himself to do it.]

Gus:
Ah! This is impossible! (runs away crying)

Willow:
(hugs a tree) I guess this is goodbye. I'll water you one last time... with my tears!

[Alador and Odalia comes out of school and descends down the steps.]

Luz:
Hey!

[Odalia glances back.]

Luz:
How dare you mess with my friends' lives! What have we ever done to you?

Odalia:
Luz, was it? Please, this isn't personal. I actually appreciate your tenacity. We're just trying to teach our daughter a valuable lesson in business.

Luz:
How does this teach anything? We're still gonna be friends with her. I'm calling applesauce on this business baloney!

Odalia:
Your human language is hard to understand, but I think I see your point. (grabs and squeezes the butterfly Alador is chasing and releases it) If you're interested in talking things through, I'm sure we can come to some sort of an agreement. (hands Luz a Blight Industry business card)

Gus:
Gus chomp! (munches on the card)

Willow:
Come on Luz, we can figure this out on our own.

Gus:
(spits out the card) That's right, we'll get back into Hexside or die trying!

Willow:
No one's dying.

Gus:
Not with that attitude.

[Willow and Gus turn and walk away.]

Odalia:
(chuckles) Yes well, when that doesn't work, you know where to find us.

[Odalia pushes Alador and they walk away together.]

[Scene cuts back to inside the Owl House. Eda is seen making a card pyramid.]

Eda:
Okay, almost got it... Glyph pyramid!

King:
And what are you expecting this glyph pyramid to do?

Eda:
It's supposed to prove that I'm the superior witch. Watch and learn.

[Eda slaps on the card pyramid but fails to do anything impressive.]

Eda:
Ugh, okay let's think. Bile sacs have different spell phlegm sloshing around together. So why can't I mix these up too?!

King:
But those are disgusting liquids, these are symbols from the isles. Maybe there's a different way to combine them.

Eda:
Hmmm...

Hooty:
(outside) Hootly-mootly!

[Eda looks outside the window.]

[Lilith creates an ice crown using glyph combo and puts it atop Hooty's head.]

Hooty:
Ohhh!!!

[Eda looks with a jealous expression.]

[Lilith makes 2 popsicles using glyph combos and offers Hooty one.]

Hooty:
Ohhh!!! (munches on popsicle) Ummm!!!

[Lilith creates a swan Hooty ice sculpture using glyph combo.]

Hooty:
Whoahahaha!!! I bet even Eda couldn't do that! Wow!

[Eda growls angrily.]

King:
Maybe if you just learn the basics like Luz said-

Eda:
I don't have time for basics. I'm on to something, and I'll prove it!

[Eda cracks her knuckles and starts drawing something on a notepad.]

[Scene cuts back to 3 posters showing that Willow, Luz and Gus are banned from Hexside.]

Luz:
Operation Change Bump's Mind. Let's go!

[Scene cuts to Principal Bump looking at pictures of him and the trio taken during grom night with a sad expression. Someone knocks on the window, there's a basket from the trio with a note pleading Principal Bump to un-expel them, a drawing of him, and a disfigured cake which is supposed to resemble his face. Principal Bump gets spooked by the cake and throws it down, hitting the trio on the head. The trio then try to enter by pretending to be Hexside teachers using Gus' illusion magic, but bump into Principal Bump and the teachers outside. Principal Bump breaks their illusion spell and the trio backs off. Principal Bump turns and walks away with tears. The trio then try to fly inside using Eda's staff, but backs off when Principal Bump points a crossbow at them. ]

Principal Bump:
(cries) Life is just so dull without them! (continues crying)

[The Hexside guards close the main door.]

Gus:
Ah, this is hopeless! Nothing is working!

Luz:
Don't worry guys, as long as we stick together we'll think of something!

[A crow phone crows and lands atop Willow's head.]

Willow:
Oh no.

Gilbert:
(from the phone) Willow Park, did you get expelled?!

[Another crow phone lands atop Gus' head.]

Perry:
(from the phone) This is Perry Porter with breaking news. In light of recent events, Augustus Porter will be grounded for no less than a year.

[Crow phone grabs Gus by his collar and starts flying up.]

Gus:
Help Luz! Let me go! No please, no!

Gilbert:
Just one??? Willow's grounded for 3 at least!!!

[The 2 crow phones grab Willow and Gus and fly away.]

Willow:
No, ah! Help, Luz! Help, Luz!!!

Gus:
Luz! Save me!!!

[Amity passes Luz from behind and accidentally drops her book. Luz hears it and turns back toward the source of sound. Amity notices Luz.]

Amity:
I'm uh... I'm sorry, I was a coward in there. But my mom-

Luz:
Hey, I get it. You're scared of her, but I'm not, and I need you to take me her. She seemed open to talking things through.

Amity:
No, no, Luz, you don't have to do that.

Luz:
Yes, I do. Willow and Gus don't deserve this. (picks up Amity's book) So, will you help me, please?

Amity:
I... I can't.

[School bell rings.]

Amity:
I have to go. (takes book from Luz, turns around and walks away)

[Luz turns around and walks away sadly, but accidentally steps on the business card thrown on the floor. She picks it up and notices the address written behind the card.]

[Scene cuts back to inside the Owl House.]

King:
Eda, wh- what the heck is that supposed to be?

Eda:
I call it "the super glyph!"

King:
More like, a stupid glyph.

Eda:
Just you wait, this'll be a killer combo. Lesser glyphs will shrink in fear.

[Eda taps on the glyph and it turns into an ice cube.]

Eda:
Hah! It didn't blow up!

[The ice cube sparkles and turns into a blob of ice which looks like a turtle shell with spikes.]

King:
Uh, i- is it supposed to do that?

[The ice blob suddenly expands, causing Eda and King to yelp in surprise and run away. It continues to expand, trapping and freezing various objects inside it.]

Eda:
Uh-huh...

[Scene cuts to outside Blight Manor. Luz picks some flowers from beside the front door, then walks up and knocks on the door.]

Luz:
Hello Mrs. Blight, I-

[An abomination butler opens the door and grunts.]
