"O Titan, Where Art Thou" is the nineteenth episode of the second season of The Owl House, and the thirty-eighth episode overall.
It premiered on May 14, 2022.[1][2]
Synopsis
Eda and Luz scramble to face the Day of Unity. King faces his true identity.[2]
Plot
King dreaming of the In Between Realm.
King dreams he is in the In Between Realm and hears The Collector expressing their excitement for the Day of Unity, but before long, Luz wakes him up when they are about to dock.
The wanted posters of the Owl House residents are all over the Boiling Isles.
When Luz, King, and Hooty return to the Boiling Isles, they discover that they are now wanted by the Emperor's Coven and the Owl House has been seized, with everything inside having been confiscated by Coven Scouts. However, they learn that Eda and Lilith managed to escape and Lilith left a map leading to where they're hiding - the Knee. There, they find the sisters in a cave, telling them about their encounter with the Titan Trappers and King being a young Titan. During the trio's absence, Eda and Lilith have been trying to come up with a plan to stop Belos and the Day of Unity, but have had no success, especially since they have no magic or allies. Eda continues to worry for Luz and King's safety and feels she needs to send them somewhere they will be safe. She also opts to not inform Luz that they don't have a plan for the Day of Unity.
Luz and Eda go to Bonesborough to get back Francois.
Eda asks what Luz and King would like to do with the time they have left, and Luz wishes to steal back King's favorite toy, Francois, from the possession of the Emperor's Coven. King, on the other hand, wishes to be left alone with his thoughts, as he is still processing everything that happened with the Titan Trappers. Luz and Eda fly to Bonesborough, discovering that the whole town is busy preparing for the Day of Unity, and even the Coven Scouts are overly busy, which allows Luz and Eda to sneak past them, crudely disguised as scouts themselves. Completely deceived, the two get the key to the warehouse and split up. Suddenly, Eda overhears a Guard Captain speaking to Raine by crystal ball.
Steve offer King a ride.
Meanwhile, King has wandered away from Lilith and Hooty, eventually bumping into Steve, who is no longer a Coven Scout and has defected from the Emperor's Coven. Now, he spends his days riding the Isles on his bike. King eagerly accepts his offer of a ride, and Steve drives him around the Isles, the two enjoying the sights and helping passersby. By evening, King and Steve settle by a burger restaurant to eat some food. As they eat, King recalls how he always wanted to have power and be feared by all, but now, he doesn't want to be seen as a monster, which Steve can relate to, and decides to remove his mask, revealing his face. The two are joined by Lilith and Hooty, who've been following them since King wandered off. Lilith (having been acting sycophantic towards King since finding out he's a Titan) attempts to grovel again only for King to get her to stop by reminding her this is how she acted back when she was working for Belos: to her embarrassment, Steve suggests she see his therapist as he had the same issue.
Eda convinces Luz to go with Raine rather than fight.
Back at the warehouse, Eda manages to contact Raine, and begs for them to take Luz and King to a safe place. However, Luz overhears and becomes upset and furious, thinking that Eda is abandoning her. She tries to head back to the camp, but Eda takes her harpy form and stands in her way. She tells Luz that she and King need to be taken to a safe place, but Luz refuses to listen, running away in sheer fury. Eda easily catches up with her, but their cover has been blown, and the Coven Scouts capture them. At this point, Eda, in tears, confesses the truth to Luz that they never had a plan to stop Belos or the Day of Unity and she just wanted to protect her.
It turns out that Eda, King and Lilith were rescued by Raine, Darius and other CATTs.
Soon, it becomes apparent that Luz is to be taken to the emperor, while Eda is to be taken to the Conformatorium for an actual petrification. Luz tries to tell the Coven Scouts that Belos is a witch hunter and begs for Eda to fight back, but her cries are ignored and Luz is taken away in a separate carriage. When it stops, she jumps out and instantly prepares for a fight, only to discover that she and Eda have been rescued by Raine, Darius, and Eberwolf, along with Amber, Katya, Derwin, Lilith, King, Hooty, and Steve. Luz learns that Darius was also suspicious about the Day of Unity, and when he heard Raine was causing trouble, he had a feeling they were getting up to something. If it weren't for him and Eberwolf, Raine would have been locked away, and now that they aren't captured, they have a plan to impede the Draining Spell and the Day of Unity.
At the group's hideout, Eda presents Luz with the palistrom wood she and King stole for her and encourages her to start carving her palisman. Luz is hesitant at first but starts carving with Eda's help.
