Speaker	Dialogue
[The scene opens with an exterior shot of Blight Industries. Green smoke is 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. Two 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 and faceplants in the process.]
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 touches her necklace which begins to glow; the jewel in Amity's necklace glows as well as she receives a telepathic message from it.]
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.
[The Abomaton tries to pound Amity but misses.]
Amity	[Monotonic.] Wow, it's so fast and strong. Order now.
[The 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. A closeup reveals it's the one of her, Luz, Willow, and Gus from Grom Night.]
Amity	Huh?
[The Abomaton almost steps on the picture. Amity gasps, then uses a spell circle to easily destroy it. The crowd gasps and murmurs.]
Random Investor	That's awful.
[The crowd turns and start leaving.]
Odalia	Oh, of course, w-well that was b-but a beta test. We can't wait to see you all next week when we reveal the uh... the finished product in all its glory! [Turns towards Amity angrily.] Amity! You just lost us a lot of money! What's with you lately?!
[Amity stares longingly at the picture.]
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 three times.]
Luz	[Speaks while activating glyphs.] 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 three of Luz's magic boot camp!
[Fire glyphs ignite on the ground. King, sleeping near one, screams and runs away when it goes off. Scene cuts to Lilith cheering and clapping while Eda is carving something into the desk she's using.]
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 four either came from nature or another witch's spell. I—I don't know where to find more.
[Lilith and Eda stare 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? [Holds up a diagram of ice glyphs.]
Luz	Yeah! That's really good! [Lilith fist pumps.] Let's see how you're doing, Eda.
[Eda has carved the fire and ice glyphs overlapping 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 explode.]
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 Lily. [Lilith glares at her.]
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". [As she speaks, she holds up flash cards with each word on them.]
Eda	[Slaps Lilith's cards out of her hands.] Well, I'm more interested in "experimentation", "innovation" and uh, "laughing at tools"! Like you! Hah! [Snorts and walks away.]
Lilith	Ugh! [Stares down at King scratching himself.]
King	Weh? Yeah, yeah. I'll deal with it. [Walks off.] 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	[Tears up.] Oh my gosh!
[The reunited trio hugs.]
Gus	[Voice noticably deeper.] Luz! You're okay!
Luz	[Notices Gus is taller.] Whoa, Gus! Did I uh, miss a birthday or something?
Gus	[Shrugs.] 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.] ...Good...
Amity	The ingredients are... very fresh. [Looks away blushing.]
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 and Alador flank Principal Bump while the kids are sitting in front of them.]
Odalia	The abomination situation, the destruction of detention, the rampage of Grom. [Willow and Gus have looks of worry on their faces, Luz looks confused and Amity angrily looks to the side, arms crossed.] These are but a few of the incidents that have endangered Hexside students, including our daughter.
[Amity shoots her a deadly glare.]
Odalia	So, the PCA has decided to... [Notices Alador trying to touch Frewin's moving tail and clears her throat.]
Alador	Oh, right. Um, these three are bad influences and must be executed.
[Amity, Luz, Willow, and Gus gasp.]
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.
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. Two Hexside guards barge in and drag Willow, Gus and Luz away.]
Gus	No, wait! Ahh! No! W-w-w-wait, I'm a good- I'm a good- Ahh!
Willow	No! Please! [squeals]
Luz	No, please! 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 attempts 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!
[Luz groans. She notices Alador and Odalia coming out of school and descending 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 crushes 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 two 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 three 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.
Harvey	[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!
Harvey	Just one? Willow's grounded for three at least!
[The two 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.]
Luz	Ooh.
[The abomination butler leads Luz into the living room while holding a tray with teacup and teapot on it.]
Luz	Ooh, this place smells a lot better than the Owl House.
[The abomination butler offers Luz some tea, but Luz decides to give his face a makeover instead.]
Luz	And...! [Turns the abomination butler's face into a kitty face, but it melts immediately. She laughs.] Well, I tried. [Opens door and walks down the basement.] Hello? Mr. and Mrs. Blight?
[A severed abomination hand is thrown into the wall beside Luz.]
Luz	Eek!
Odalia	Oh, don't mind him, dear. He's getting ready for our big demonstration tonight. [To Alador.] It's looking good, hon!
[Alador grunts and tears something off.]
Luz	I'm here to appeal to your hearts, Blights!
Odalia	That's sweet, but let's get to the deal. We have a rather important presentation tonight showing off some new products.
Luz	Like, abominations?
Odalia	Something like that. Normally Amity helps us with these things, but she's busy catching up on schoolwork.
Luz	I get it. I'll help you show off your weird abomination gunk if you promise to let me and my friends back into school.
Odalia	Don't worry, human. A Blight always upholds their end of the deal. Now, you might want to go get ready, because we have...
[Scene focuses on Luz's face while the surrounding transitions from the basement into the Blight Industry product event.]
Odalia	... a long night ahead of us folks! Welcome back to Blight Industries!
[Crowd applauds and cheers. Luz chuckles nervously with a worried expression on her face. Scene cuts to Blight Industries exterior then back to the product event.]
Luz	So, Alador, what would you say is the specialty of Blight Industries?
Alador	We make a variety of abomination-based accessories for home security.
Luz	Oh, that sounds pretty safe!
Alador	But we specialize in weaponry. [Walks away.] You might want to duck.
Luz	Huh? Woah! [A lump of abomination goop hits her, pinning her to the wall.]
[Crowd cheers and applauds. Luz spits out the stuff that got in her mouth]
Odalia	Yes, our sticky launcher can peacefully subdue any foe! And, if peaceful isn't your thing...
[Odalia switches modes on the gun and turns it into a flamethrower. Crowd cheers and applauds. Luz wipes her face clean and gasps. Scene cuts back to Blight Manor's living room. Amity walks in, removing her cowl.]
Amity	Mom? I'm ready for the show tonight!
[Amity notices a note and takes it down to read it. On the note it says: "We found a replacement! -Mom".]
Amity	Found a replacement? [Turns around and asks the abomination butler.] Did anyone come to the house today?
[Amity notices the butler's disfigured face that somewhat resembles a cat, and growls angrily, knowing it was Luz. Scene cuts to Willow's room. Willow is sitting and looking down with a sad expression as Harvey, her father, drops a pile of textbooks on her desk. Gilbert, her other father, also stands by the door.]
Harvey	To make sure you're getting a top-notch education, we're quitting our jobs to homeschool you.
Gilbert	And we'll spend all our free time having fun as a family.
Harvey	See you at first light for a test on the uh— [Looks at the book he picked up.] life cycle of a common swamp toad! [Closes door.]
[Willow continues to look down sadly, but an illusion of a tiny Gus appears.]
Gus illusion	Willow! Hey, Willow! [Points at window.]
[Willow gasps, then walks towards the window. Gilbert opens the door, causing Willow to gasp again.]
Gilbert	Hey, Willow, uh—
[Gilbert notices the tiny Gus illusion, then looks at Willow who is heading towards window. He smiles, puts a finger on his mouth, makes a "shhh" sound then closes the door. Willow smiles, then turns around and opens the window. Gus and Amity are standing outside below.]
Amity	Luz is in trouble!
Gus	[Annoyed.] Again.
[Scene cuts back to Blight Industries exterior. Crowds can be heard cheering and applauding while Luz's terrified screaming is also heard. Gus, Willow and Amity are standing outside thinking how to get in.]
Willow	Okay, I can use the root system underground to tunnel our way in.
Amity	That'll take too long. We should just rush the guards at the door!
Gus	No, no, no. I'll distract them with illusions of beautiful lady guards.
Willow	This isn't a cartoon from the '40s, Gus! We need a better plan!
Gus	This could work!
Amity	We should just bust our way through!
Gus	You're stunting my growth as an artist! Just let me try this!
Willow	We are running out of time! We gotta get in now!
Amity	We have to help Luz now!
Edric	Here's an idea.
[Gus, Willow, and Amity look toward the sound.]
Edric	Why don't you just walk through the front? [He and Emira throw each of them a cloak.]
Amity	Ed! Em! You're helping?
Emira	Of course! Just... don't tell Mom.
[The trio put on their cloak and walk inside. Edric puts paper which says "Hex me!" on their back. The twins laugh at this, but Amity throws them back and they hit Edric in the face.]
Edric	Ahhh! Ugh!
[Amity points two fingers at the twins and walks backwards, growling. Scene cuts to inside the factory. The trio runs inside into an excited crowd cheering and clapping while Luz is busy trying to get away from the Abomaton's attack.]
Luz	[Pants.] Ah! [Dodges attack.] Whoa! [Dodges attack again.]
[Luz uses ice glyph magic to block the abominaton's attack, but the arrow breaks the ice block, pushing Luz backwards. An abomination fist punches Luz upwards, Luz screams, and the hand catches her when she falls down. Crowd continues cheering and applauding. The abomination points the bow at Luz while Luz grunts and closes her eyes, waiting for the incoming attack.]
Odalia	Thank you, thank you. And they say said we couldn't make crossbows more fun! Next, we're very excited to show you our last product from this line.
Luz	[Sigh of relief.] Thank goodness, only one more to go.
Odalia	My husband has been toiling away to bring you...
[Odalia steps aside, the ground opens up and Luz yelps and crawls away. An Abomaton rises up.]
Odalia	The Abomaton 2.0!
[The crowd gasps. So does Amity; she takes off her hood then turns around and starts climbing up a ladder.]
Willow	Amity, wait!
[Gus and Willow take off their hoods, but immediately gets grabbed by security abominations.]
Odalia	It's bigger! It's better! The Abomaton 2.0 is the perfect soldier. It won't rest until its enemy is completely eliminated!
[Crowd oohs and a few of them claps.]
Luz	[Laughs nervously.] You're a big boy, aren't ya?
[The Abomaton's hands turns into weapons. Luz makes a scared noise and looks at the Abomaton with a terrified expression. The Abomaton starts attacking Luz, and manages to grab Luz by her foot.]
Luz	Okay! It's super strong! I think the crowd gets it!
Alador	She has a point, Odalia.
Odalia	Didn't you hear me? It won't rest until its enemy is completely eliminated!
[The Abomaton lifts Luz up by her foot, Luz screams and is thrown upwards. Luz lands on a beam.]
Luz	Okay, at least it can't get me up here...
[The Abomaton jumps up and lands behind Luz.]
Luz	Luz, you fool!
[Luz uses an ice glyph to block the Abomaton. The Abomaton breaks it. Luz picks up a piece of shattered ice and use it as a sword to fight off the Abomaton. Amity is seen climbing up a ladder while Luz keeps on fighting the Abomaton. She uses plant magic to lift herself up then swings around towards the Abomaton with a fire glyph just as it fires another blast. An explosion happens. The Abomaton falls to the ground, breaking the floor. The crowd runs away. Luz is hanging onto a vine for her dear life with her eyes shut. She opens her eyes and notices that she is facing the Abomaton and is close to the ground. The vine breaks.]
Luz	Ah! [Lands.] Hey! I'm alive!
[The Abomaton grabs Luz by her foot again.]
Luz	Oh, no.
[The Abomaton's hand turns into an axe and swings at Luz.]
Luz	I'm dead! [Closes her eyes, waiting for inevitable death, but something stops the Abomaton.] Huh?
[The Abomaton's hands explode.]
Amity	Hey!
[The crowd gasps, Amity is seen standing on a beam.]
Amity	Stay away from my Luz! [Casts spell circles.]
Luz	[Looks at Amity with a surprised expression.] Amity?
[Scene cuts to the Owl House exterior. Hooty is wearing an ice crown and ice chain necklace with a popsicle in his mouth. He is looking at Lilith drawing something on a notepad. A sudden loud noise and vibration grabs their attention.]
Lilith	[Knocks on door.] Edalyn? Are these distress noises or normal noises?
[The ice blob is seen expanding slowly.]
Eda	Totally normal! Don't come in! [Looks at the blob.] I am your mother! You will obey me and die!
[Eda hits the ice blob with a mace, but the mace is absorbed by the blob and Eda is pushed away by a spike.]
Eda	Ugh!
King	Eda, help me! Help me, Eda! Eda, help me!
[King is frozen inside the blob.]
Eda	[Gasps with a horrified expression.] Ugh, fine! Lilith, emergency!
[Lilith kicks open the door.]
Lilith	Whoa.
Eda	Yeah, yeah. I messed up. I'm ready to follow the rules.
Lilith	Actually, I'd like to try an experiment. [Holds a few pieces of paper in her hands.]
Hooty	Ooooooh! [Shakes his neck.]
[Scene cuts back to inside Blight Industries. Amity slides down a rope and faces the Abomaton.]
Amity	Huh-uh! [Lands.]
Odalia	[Uses her necklace.] Amity Blight, you are in so much troub—
[Amity takes off and breaks her necklace. Odalia gasps.]
Amity	Luz, [Looks back.] are you okay?
Luz	[Looks at Amity with an amazed expression, blushing.] Uh-huh. [Gasps.] Look out!
[Amity's spell circle disappears, the Abomaton stands up and tries to punch Amity, but Amity holds him back with her spell circles with all her might. The Abomaton's hands start melting.]
Odalia	[Infuriated.] Amity! Get away from the human!
Amity	No, you're gonna listen to me for once. Luz, Willow and Gus are my friends! [Pushes the Abomaton backwards.] They're nice to each other, they listen to each other. They make me think about the kind of person I really want to be!
[Amity forces the Abomaton to kneel down. Luz runs towards Amity and they stand together back-to-back. They accidentally glance at each other and immediately look away, both blushing with awkward expressions. Odalia looks at the "units ordered" meter angrily as Alador appears to be intrigued by the turn of events.]
Odalia	Ugh! What do you want?!
Amity	Let my friends back into Hexside, or else your precious investors will watch me rip this thing apart bit. By. Bit.
Luz	[Whispers.] Can you actually do that?
Amity	Shhh!
[The crowd boos.]
Random Investor #1	Come on!
Random Investor #2	This is horrible!
[Odalia looks at the "units ordered" meter in frustration.]
Odalia	[Groans.] Fine! It's a deal! Just stop with the theatrics!
[Luz and Amity glance at each other and smile. Amity stops using her spell circles. The Abomaton's hand changes into a large hammer and brings it down towards the duo. Amity rushes over to protect Luz. The Abomaton's hammer pounds right where the duo are. The Abomaton lifts up the hammer. The duo is seen pretending to have died. The Abomaton's hammer is revealed to be hollow in the middle and it transforms back to a normal hand. The duo open their eyes, look at each other and smile, then go back to pretend dying. The Abomaton's eyes go dark. The crowd gasps. The Abomaton shuts down. The crowd cheers and applauds.]
Willow	[Gasps] Luz!
[Willow and Gus run towards Amity and Luz with worried expressions. The "units ordered" meter goes up so high it explodes. Odalia looks at Amity and Luz furiously.]
Odalia	[Growls furiously.] As if I'd actually let them go back! I will call every authority I know! I'll make sure they can't-
Alador	Odalia!
[Odalia turns towards Alador, who isn't pleased.]
Alador	You made a deal with your daughter, and a Blight always upholds their end of the deal.
[Scene cuts to Willow helping Luz get up. Willow, Luz, Gus, and Amity walk away together.]
Alador	Besides, she's getting stronger. [Puts hands on Odalia's shoulder.] Strong enough to become a coven head someday.
Odalia	[Grins.] Wise words, dear. We have to focus on what's best for the family—
[Odalia turns around and notices Alador gone. She glances to her left and notices Alador chasing a butterfly.]
Odalia	Alador! [Groans and facepalms.]
[Scene cuts back to inside the Owl House. Both Lilith and Eda are drawing something on their paper respectively. King has a towel wrapped around his head and is holding a cup in his hands.]
King	Ah-choo!
Eda	Okay so, uh, how did you beat that thing again?
Lilith	[Smugly.] Would you like me to lay out "the basics"?
Eda	[Stares at Lilith unhappily.] Yes.
[Scene flashes back to Lilith and Eda watching King freezing inside the ice blob.]
Lilith	Well, you were right. These glyphs act like the basic elements. But, instead of containing magic like we do, they command the magic around them. They're like words! And drawing glyphs on top of each other like you did—
Eda	Was like screaming three different words at the same time! The spell got confused!
Lilith	Yes. The glyph combo, copyright me, Lilith, helps organize the commands.
[Lilith slaps a paper with a glyph combo on it onto the ice blob. The ice blob flashes, then melts.]
Lilith	So you can combine and specify what you want to do!
King	[Shivers.] A-a-b-b-bout t-t-time!
[Eda catches some snow in her hand and looks up above at the snow in wonder. Scene flashes back to the present.]
Eda	So with the right combo, you can cast any spell!
King	Maybe the reason Luz hasn't found any more glyphs is because there... aren't any more.
Eda	Then we better start learning some new combinations.
[Sound of door being pushed open and hitting something.]
Luz	Hey, guys! [Wipes off abomination gunk of her hair.]
Eda	Hey, Luz! We actually learned something new!
Luz	Sorry, can it wait 'till morning? [Tired expression.] I need to lie down.
Lilith	Wait, Miss Teacher!
[Lilith turns to her left then turns back holding an ice sculpture. The sculpture is of her kneeling before Luz, who's being depicted as a wise scholar holding a scroll.]
Lilith	Do I get extra credit?
Luz	[Amused.] Oh, my gosh!
Eda	[Stares jealously.] I can do it too.
[Eda slaps on a paper with ice glyph drawn on it. The glyph turns into and ice cube and rolls off the table.]
Eda	Hmm. [Looks at Luz and gestures towards the ice cube.]
Luz	[Amazed.] Wow! Yeah! Extra credit for everyone!

King	Ah-choo!
[Scene cuts back to inside the Blight Industries factory. The abomination servants are sweeping the floor. Odalia walks towards Alador.]

[Odalia immediately kneels down, then makes Alador do the same.]

Golden Guard	You should be. Emperor Belos doesn't take kindly to citizens making a... private army.
[The Golden Guard turns and walks away. Alador and Odalia stand up look at each other with worried expressions.]
