Open on a witch with green hair and a staff backflipping onto a cliff. She glares up at a large purple snake.

Gildersnake: Foolish child! I could swallow you whole!

Azura: Do not underestimate me, Gildersnake, for I am the Good Witch Azura, warrior of peace!

She poses as wind blows her hair before kneeling down and holding her staff like a bazooka.

Azura: Now eat this, sucka!

She fires off the staff

Gildersnake: No! My only weakness: dying!

———

Cut to a doll of Azura and a green snake being held.

Luz: And that's the end.

Camila: The end of what?

Luz: My book report.

The snake hisses and bites the doll.

Luz: I think I knocked it out of the park.

Principal Hal: Your book report is why you're in here.

He gestures to the door, through which two students can be seen outside running by screaming, snakes biting their heads.

Luz: Oh. That's where the backup snakes were.

Camila: And what were you going to do with this?

She holds up several firecrackers tied together.

Luz: That was for the Act Three closer.

Camila: Mija, I love your creativity, but it's gotten out of hand. Do you remember why you were in the principal's office the last three times?

———
Cut to Luz on stage at an audition for Romeo and Juliet, holding a spork.

Luz: O happy dagger, give me death!

Luz stabs the spork into her torso before tearing her dress, making several links of sausages fall out. Everyone else on stage screams and runs.

Cut to Luz sewing a pigeon head onto a squirrel's body, on a platform labelled "baby griffin".

Luz: Now for the final anatomically correct touch, spider breath.

She opens the model's beak. Many spiders come out, crawling over her and the table. People scream in terror, throwing objects everywhere. Now to cheerleading tryouts, where a girl does a successful backflip. Every other student applauds.

Luz: You think that's an impressive trick? Take a look at this.

Turns around to reveal she flipped her eyelids inside out.

Luz: Bleep, bloop, bleep!

Everyone else screams and runs, and it sounds like at least one person is gagging.

———

Cut back to Principal Hal's office.

Camila: We all love that you express yourself, but if you can't learn to separate fantasy from reality, you may need to spend the summer here.

She holds out a pamphlet for Reality Check Summer Camp. Luz takes it reluctantly.

Luz: Don't worry, Mom. I won't let you down.

She stands up triumphantly.

Luz: No more weirdness!

The snake in Luz's hand suddenly jumps out and bites the principal. He falls to the ground with a yell while the snake hisses.

Luz: That doesn't count, right?

———

Cut to Luz, who is standing disappointedly in front of her house. Camila exits the house.

Camila: Oh! Oh, my baby! Now, don't worry. Summer camp is only going to be for three months. You'll be so busy balancing checkbooks and learning to... appreciate public radio, the time will fly by!

Luz: But I don't like any of that stuff. I like editing anime clips to music and—and reading fantasy books with convoluted backstories.

Camila: Mija, your fantasy world is holding you back. Do you have any friends? Real ones, not imagined or drawn or reptilian?

Luz drops her book, disappointed. She walks slowly over to the trash bin.

Camila: Summer camp is a chance to make some friends, but you have to try. Can you do that?

Luz: Yes, Mom.

Luz puts her book, The Good Witch Azura, into the trash bin. Camila's phone vibrates in her purse.

Camila: Oh. I gotta go to work.

She kisses Luz's forehead.

Camila: Your bus is coming soon. Text me when you get there. Cuídate mucho, mi hija. ¡Qué te vaya bien!

Camila walks away.

Luz: Bye, Mom.

Luz watches her leave, then gasps and rummages through the bin.

Luz: Where is it? Where is it?

An owl hoots. Luz looks up and sees a little owl, her book sticking out of the bag in his beak. It turns and flies away.

Luz: Tiny trash thief!

Luz chases the owl. She pauses when the reach a decrepit abandoned house, but the owl continues right inside. Luz stares at the house. Luz growls. Steeling her nerves, Luz runs inside. The front door slams shut behind her, and the entire inside glows, visible through the windows and the holes in the roof. Cut to the inside of a tent, where a door unfolds in three parts before opening. The little owl hops through it, and a second later, Luz follows.

Luz: Stop adorably hopping away, you—Huh?

She looks around the tent, which is full of old odds and ends.

Luz: Whoa. I thought I had a lot of weird stuff. But this? This is impressive.

Middle-aged Woman: Finally, you're back.

Luz makes a noise and drops to the ground. She peeks back up and walks forward, moving the flap of the tent aside to see the back of a woman. Close to the woman was a middle aged man tinkering with a small contraption, and a blue who looked to be around Luz's she was quietly reading a book in the corner, occasionally glancing up with curiosity.

Middle-aged Woman: Now let's see what we've got here.

The little owl lands on top of the woman's staff. She turns him around, and it becomes a wooden fixture of the staff. Luz gasps.

Middle-aged Woman: [Takes out a phone from the bag.] Garbage. [Takes out a ring.] Garbage. [Takes out a golden shining chalice.] Garbage. [Gasps.] Now, this... [Takes out a pair of joke glasses with eyes on springs and puts them on.] This will make us rich.

Middle aged man: Aren't we already financially stable?

Middle aged woman: It'll mane us richer!

The woman then takes out Luz's book.

Eda: And this... Oh, this will make good kindling.

She then holds the book over a candle.

Luz gasps; runs out of the tent and grabs her book back.

Luz: Excuse me, sorry, it's mine, thank you.

Luz runs back into the tent and heads for the door. It folds up before she can walk through it and disappears. Camera zooms out to show the middle-aged woman holding a key with an eye on it, the same eye that was on the door.

Middle-aged Woman: You're not going anywhere.

Luz: Wah-ah!

Middle aged man: Oh bother, we've frightened her.

Luz shoves Azura into her messenger bag and ducks out the back of the tent. She runs, and skids to a stop mere inches away from falling off a cliff. She's clearly no longer on Earth, the town before her being made up of far too many arms and teeth. A dragon flies by and is caught by one of said arms. Cut to denizens of the town going about their days: a cloaked figure holding an ice cream cone which eats someone, the legs of what appear to be a giant chicken, a centipede-looking thing opening its mouth to let a winged creature fly out. The latter two kiss before going their separate ways. Cut back to Luz.

Luz: Oh, no, no, no, no! What's going on?

She shrieks as a fairy approaches her.

Luz: Oh, hello, little fairy. Are you going to tell me this is all a fantastical dream?

The fairy's Mouth grows to half the size of its face.

Fairy: Give me your skin!

Luz screams and slaps the fairy into the ground.

Luz: Where am I? Did I die? Am I in the bad place?

Middle-aged Woman: You wish.

The man picked up Luz and looked uncomfortable while doing so. He sat her down on a stool right back at the tent.

Luz: I'm so sorry! I just wanted my book! If you're gonna eat my skin, just make it quick! Just do it now!

Middle aged man: We don't do that...

Middle-aged Woman: Eat you? Why would we eat a potential customer?

Luz opens her eyes.

Middle-aged Woman: Can I offer you a human foot filled with holes? [Holds up a green Croc, then puts it aside and grabs a stick of men's deodorant.] A bar of green human candy? Oh, oh! How about this black shadow box that reflects only sadness? [Holds a portable TV up to Luz.]

Luz: That's not all it can do. Here, let me see it.

Luz takes the TV and grabs two batteries from a dish labelled "Human candy! (????)" She puts the batteries in and presses the power button. A jazzercise video start playing with loud music.

Luz: Voilà!

Boy: I knew it did something.

Several customers and vendors stop at the noise.

Monster #1: Huh?

Monster #2: What's that?

Monster #3: The sound—it's so alluring.

Several monsters are now crowded around the TV.

Monster #1: [Holding up green bills.] I'll pay 40 snails for the screaming box!

Monster #2: I'll give you a hundred!

Monster #3: Can I eat the tiny person inside?

The whole crowd starts bidding.

Middle-aged Woman: What did you say your name was?

Luz: I'm Luz. Luz Noceda.

Middle-aged Woman: Well, Luz, that was pretty clever... for a human.

Luz: That's kind of a weird thing for another human to say.

Middle-aged Woman: Oh, dear child, I'm not like you.

The woman takes off the bandana to reveal pointed ears and climbs onto the table.

The man and boy gulped nervously, as if they knew what she was going to do

Boy: Mom? No no no.

Eda: I'm Eda the Owl Lady, the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles!

Man: Oh no...

Luz: A witch?

Eda: I am a respected, feared-

Guard #1: Busted!

Monster: Run! It's a guard!

All of the customers run away screaming. Eda hops down from the table.

Guard #1: Eda the Owl Lady, you are wanted for misuse of magic and demonic misdemeanors. Your husband, Y/N, and son, Max, are wanted as accomplices!

Luz: Whoa! Witch criminal! And a Witch family!

Y/N: I still do not know how they know our names...

Guard #1 : You are all hereby ordered to come with me to the Conformatorium.

Eda: Would you guys quit following us around? We haven't done squat.

Guard #1: And you're coming too...

The guard picks Luz up by her hood.

Luz: Aah!

Max: What did she do?

Guard #1:...for fraternizing with criminals.

Luz: Wh-What? That's not cool!

Max: Ah! W-wait!

Eda: Oh, all right, all right, you win. Just let me get my stuff.

Eda reaches under the table and grabs her staff, swinging it at the guard. He falls to the ground with a grunt. Eda spins her staff and taps the bottom of it on the table, making all her stuff float in midair. Luz picks herself and her book off the ground.

Eda: Whoops. Can't forget this.

Eda reaches into her hair and pulls out the key, pressing the eye to summon the portal door. She closes her hand into a fist, making the tablecloth wrap itself around all of her stuff. She sticks her staff through the bundle and starts running.

Eda: Follow us, human.

Luz: This is crazy. If I die here, my mom's gonna kill me!

Eda: Ha! We won't let 'em hurt you. A human like you is much more valuable to me alive than dead.

Luz: Wait. What's that supposed to-

Eda: Whoo-hoo!

Eda jumps, pulling herself, Y/N, Max and Luz onto her staff. They take off into the sky as the guard runs into frame.

Guard #1: You won't get away with this, Owl Famiky! Yeah, all right. You did. You got away with it. They got away with it, everybody! Typical.

———

Cut to Eda, a freaking out Y/N, Max, and Luz flying on Eda's staff above the Isles.

Eda: You can open your eyes now, human.

Luz does so, yells, and nearly falls off the staff when she sees the ground below them.

Luz: Flying staffs, crazy monsters, you're a witch! What is this place?

Eda picks her up and sat her back down

Eda: This is the Boiling Isles. Every myth you humans have is caused by a little of our world leaking into yours.

Various winged creatures fly behind them as Eda talks. A griffin that looks extremely similar to the one Luz made at school flies up next to them and screeches.

Luz: A griffin!

The griffin barfs spiders.

Luz [Points]: I knew it!

Eda: Yep. Griffins, vampires, giraffes...

Luz: Giraffes?

Eda: Oh, yeah. We banished those guys. Bunch of freaks.

Y/N and Max are clinging to Eda, both visibly shaking and crying.

Y/N: Eda, I really don't like this!

Max: Mom, we're so high up!

Eda [Soothingly]: Hey, hey, it's okay. Just take deep breaths, both of you. We're almost there. Look at me, not at the ground.

Y/N and Max try to focus on Eda, their breathing gradually calming.

Eda lands the staff and hops off, though her hand stays behind. Luz sees it move on its own.

Luz: Aaah! [Jumps off the staff.]

Eda: Oops. [Screws her hand back on.] That happens sometimes.

Eda [Turns to Y/N and Max, hugging them]: See? We made it safe and sound. You two did great.

Y/N [Sniffles]: Thanks, Eda.

Max [Hugging her tightly]: Thanks, Mom.

Luz: Well, I've had enough adventure for today. This is clearly not the PG fantasy world I always dreamed about. So, can you help me get back home?

Eda levels her staff in front of Luz, startling her.

Eda: Only if you help us first.

Eda chuckles, lifts her staff, and walks away with the bag following her.

Eda: Ah, now, come along, human.

Luz: Whoa!

Cut to a tower, on top of which is an owl with an uncanny human face that cackles. Zoom out as it flies down to reveal the Owl House, which Eda, Luz, Y/N, and Max walk up to.

Luz [Looking over her shoulder]: Aren't you worried about those guards finding us?

Eda: Nope. Our house has a state-of-the-art defense system.

Hooty: Hoot-hoot! Password, please!

Y/N: Oh! It's-

Eda pokes both of Hootys eyes.

Hooty: Aah!

Eda: We got no time for this, Hooty. Let us in.

Hooty: All right, all right! Geez! You never want to have any fun! Ow! Hoot!

Hooty opens his mouth wide enough to completely cover the door. Eda, Luz, Y/N, and Max step through, though Eda's bag stays outside. Y/N quickly grabs it. Hooty closes his mouth. Hooty burps. Cut to inside.

Eda: Welcome to, the Owl House...

Candles ignite. A fire in the fireplace starts, a cauldron starts stirring itself, and a broom starts sweeping the floor. Overhead, a depiction of an owl beast of some kind begins to glow with a great screeching noise. Luz looks at all of this in awe.

Eda: ...where I hide away from the pressures of modern life. Also the cops. Mm, also ex-boyfriends.

Y/N: And one backstabbing ex best friend who tried to steal my wife.

Luz: This place is beautiful! Do just you three live here?

Thudding footsteps shake the house.

Eda: Actually, we have roommates.

King: Who dares intrude upon I, the king of demons?

He squeaks a rubber ducky.

Y/N: I'm sorry, but every time I see you, I expect a high, squeaky voice

Luz [Gasps in overjoy]: ¡Ay, que lindo!

She runs forward and scoops King up in a hug.

Luz: Eda, he's so cute! Who's a widdle guy? Who's a widdle guy? Is it you? Is it you?

King: No! I don't know who your little guy is! Eda, who is this monster?

Eda drags Luz away from King

Eda: Oh, this is Luz, the human. She's here to help us with our little... situation.

King: Oh! Hooray!

Luz: Wait, wait, wait. I don't like the sound of this "situation."

Eda: Just... let me explain. King was once a mighty king of demons, until his Crown of Power was stolen, and he became... this.

Luz: You mean this little bundle of joy?

Eda: The crown is being held by the evil Warden Wrath and locked away behind a magical force field that only a human can break through.

The storybook circle fades, return to Luz hugging King.

Eda: A human like you. If you help us retrieve his crown, we'll send you back to your realm. So whaddya say? Plus,

She picks up King by his face and shakes him gently.

Eda: who could say no to this cute face?

King: No! Please don't encourage her! Nyeh!

Eda: I mean, we're kinda your only way home.

Luz: So I don't really have a choice, do I?

Eda: Nope.

Eda picks Luz up and tosses her over her shoulder as she heads for the door.

Eda: Now, we've got no time to lose.

King: Soon, Mr. Ducky, we shall drink the fear of those who mocked us.

Y/N: Don't worry, Luz. We'll be with you the whole way.

Max [Nervously]: Yeah, and Mom knows what she's doing. Just stick close to us.

Luz: Where are we going?

Eda: Somewhere super fun.

They walk further into the house, where they encounter Scare, the scarecrow housekeeper Y/N hired, napping in a corner. He wakes up as they approach, stretching lazily and giving them a sarcastic smile.

Scare: Well, well, well, if it isn't my favorite chaotic family. And who's this? Another stray?

Eda: Scare, this is Luz. She's here to help us with a little mission.

Scare [Eyeing Luz up and down]: Oh, great. Another mouth to feed. Just what we needed. Welcome to the madhouse, kid.

Y/N: Scare, could you at least try to be nice? She's our guest.

Scare: Sure, sure. Nice to meet you, Luz. Don't get too comfortable.

Eda: Alright, enough, Scare. Let's get going. We've got a crown to retrieve.

Scare: Oh, this should be fun. Let's try not to get yourselves killed.

Luz: Wait what?

———

Cut to the Conformatorium, where thunder claps.

Eda: The Conformatorium, a place for those considered unsuitable for society.

Luz notices Eda's wanted poster on the wall they're hiding behind

Luz: Whoa. These guys really have the hots for you.

Eda: Yep. But we were never caught because we're too slippery.

King: Try to catch me when I'm covered in grease. I'm a squirmy little fella. Aah!

Y/N: He's...not wrong.

King falls off of Luz's head.

Y/N: You, Scare, Max, Y/N and I will sneak up to the top of the tower, where they're holding my crown.

Eda: And I'm gonna make sure the warden's distracted.

Luz: Will I need a disguise?

Eda: Uh...

Luz: I've been waiting to use this.

She lulls her hood on, flicks up cat ears.

Luz: Meow, meow.

Y/N: Uhh...

King: It's hideous.

Scare: Nice disguise. Really screams 'blend in'.

Eda: Oh, you'll fit right in.

Eda taps the butt of her staff against the ground, creating a round glowing platform. She steps away from it.

Y/N: Eda, are you sure this is safe?

Max: Yeah, what if something goes wrong?

Eda gently places a hand on Y/N's shoulder and then on Max's

Eda: Hey, both of you, it's going to be alright. We've done this before, remember? Just stick together and follow the plan.

Scare appears behind them, yawning

Scare: Relax, you two. What's the worst that could happen? Besides, if things go south, I'll be there to save your sorry hides.

Eda: Luz, stick close to King and follow his lead. We'll handle the rest.

Luz: Got it.

Eda: Hang on tight.

Luz: Whoa!

The platform rises, floating all the way up to a window in the tower. Y/N and Scare jumped in. It disappears suddenly, forcing Luz to grab the edge of the window sill and Max and King to cling to her feet. Eda, meanwhile, tosses her staff and casually sits down on it as it rises.

Eda: Meet you guys at the top of the tower.

King grunts as he climbs up Luz and into the window. Also grunting, Luz pulls herself and Max up and in, falling on her face.

King: Ha-ha! Cat's don't do that.

Luz sits up and gasps. The group marvel at the amount of prison cells before them, all of them occupied by shadowy beasts of varying shapes and sizes, though all of their eyes glow in the light.

Katya: Hey, cat lady, how'd you get out of your cell?

Luz sits up and gasps. The two of them marvel at the amount of prison cells before them, all of them occupied by shadowy beasts of varying shapes and sizes, though all of their eyes glow in the light.

Katya: Hey, cat lady, how'd you get out of your cell?

Luz: Oh, no, no, no. I'm not a cat. Also, I'm not a criminal.

King: Not yet, you're not.

Katya: Neither are we. The stupid warden likes to lock people up who don't fit in. Like, I write fanfics of food falling in love.

She pulls out a book of said fanfiction.

Katya: I like food, I like love... Just let me write about it.

Eye-Eating Prisoner: I'm here because I like eating my own eyes.

He plucks an eye out of his head as he says this, swallowing it. The eye floats back into place. Y/N gagged.

Scare: Weirdo.

Tinella Nosa: We are agents of fwee expwession! They will never siwence us!

Katya: Yeah, she's really big into conspiracy theories.

Tinella Nosa: The world is a simulation! We are but playthings for a higher being!

Luz: Wait. These aren't crimes. None of you actually did anything wrong. You're all just a bunch of weirdos. Like me.

Y/N: Luz, being different doesn't make you a criminal. Sometimes....people just don't understand things that are unique or out of the ordinary. A lot of times they often choose not understand. My aunt was a college addicted ableist. Not to mention the school I went to was very ableist. But did that stop me? Yes. Multiple times...but I always got back up. And my mom always said being different doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you—or any of us. Embrace your weirdness. It's what makes you special.

Scare: [From his relaxed position against the wall.] Listen to the kid child in a grown man's body. Weirdos are the best kind of people. Keeps things interesting.

Luz smiled. Thudding footsteps attract their attention.

Katya: It's Warden Wrath! Hide!

Luz exclaims and runs into an open cell with the four, pulling the door down as she enters. Footsteps continue until a door is pushed open.

Warden Wrath: I can hear you.

Luz whimpers.

Warden Wrath:  Just what are you fools whispering about?

He looks down at Eda's wanted poster that Luz had dropped.

Warden Wrath: Ah. The Owl Lady.

He picks up the poster and crumples it, turning his fist into a hammer and slamming it into the door of Luz's cell.

Warden Wrath: I'll get my hands on her soon enough.

Warden Wrath looks into the cell, where Luz, Y/N, Max, and King are huddled in the corner. Scare was nearby, observing.

Tinella Nosa: Fight against the oppwessor! We will wesist! We will conquer! We will never be afwaid of you, you old cweep!

Warden Wrath walks over to her cell and opens it. She stares at the opening door.

Tinella Nosa: Hooway! I'm fwee! [Squeaks.]

Warden Wrath grabs Tinella Nosa, his fist fitting around her entire body. He holds her up and points at the other two prisoners.

Warden Wrath: Let this be a lesson to all of you. There's no place in society for you if you can't fit in.

He tightens his grip, making Tinella Nosa squeak again. Warden Wrath stomps away, crushing the crumpled up wanted poster on his way out. A door slams, and Luz opens her cell, running to that of Katya.

Luz: Don't worry. I can get you out. [Pulls on the lever, but can't lift it.] No! My weak nerd arms!

Katya: Just get out of here while you still can, kid. Enjoy freedom for us.

Katya walks deeper in her cell. Luz reluctantly walks away. Cut to a hallway, where Eda flies up to Luz, Y/N, Max, and Scare trailing behind.

Eda: Hey, I just checked. [Hops off her staff.] The warden is distracted, tormenting some tiny creature. He won't be coming around here anytime soon.

Luz continues walking without saying anything. Eda watches her, confused. They reach a towering door reading "CONTRABAND".

King: My crown! It's close! I can sense its power!

He runs up to the door and fiddles with the doorknob that's as big as he is.

Eda: Aw, he gets so cute when he's thirsty for power.

Luz: It's not fair that they're all in here. They just want to be themselves. Why does everyone think that being a weirdo is so bad?

King grunts. The doorknob is thrown to the ground with a clink. King pushes open the door, cackling, and runs through.

Eda: Come on, before he hurts himself.

[Something zaps.]

King: Ow!

Luz, Eda, Y/N, Max, and Scare follow King in. Cut to the inside of the room, which is empty save a giant glowing pillar in the center. King rubs his skull before charging at the pillar headfirst, succeeding only in launching himself backwards.

Eda: We have a human, remember?

King: Oh, yeah.

Luz takes a breath. She puts a hand against the pillar before walking through it.

Y/N: I'm human, why couldn't I go in?

Eda: Inside are piles of what can only be described as junk. And you know how you get when you're in messy places.

Y/N: Fair.

Inside are piles of what can only be described as junk: everything from books to skulls to a dead fish in a tank. Atop the central one is a glowing crown.

Luz: Wait a second. Is that a...

Cuts to Luz holding a Burger Queen paper crown, looking incredibly frustrated.

King: My crown!

He jumps in place before taking the crown from Luz and placing it on his head.

King: Yes. Yes! I can feel my powers returning! You, there. Nightmare critter.

He points to a stuffed rabbit with one button eye falling out of a box.

King: I shall call you Francois, and you shall be a minion in my army of darkness. Ha-ha!

He picks up the rabbit.

Luz: That crown doesn't give him any powers, does it?

Eda: Uh, no.

Luz glares at Eda.

Eda: Oh, look at us, Luz. King, Y/N, Max, Scare and I don't have much in this world. We only have each other. So if that dumb crown is important to King, it's important to me. And besides, us weirdos have to stick together, you know?

Y/N: Eda's right. We're all a little strange here, but being different is something to be proud of.

Max: We all belong together, even if we don't fit in anywhere else.

Luz grins and blushes.

Eda: Well, we owe you one. Now, let's get out of here before the warden finds us and loses his head.

Warden Wrath: Too late.

Warden Wrath's hand turns into a blade, and with an easy swing, he decapitates Eda. Y/N catches her head and screams.

Eda: Ow! Oh, I hate it when that happens.

Y/N and Luz screams louder and longer.

Y/N: Still can't get over this!

Luz: Eda! Are you okay?

Eda: Yeah. This just happens when you get older.

Luz: Does it?

Warden Wrath: Finally, I have you cornered, Eda the Owl Lady.

He takes Kings crown. His guards grab Max and Scare and hold them down.

King: Weh?

Warden Wrath walks closer to Y/N, Eda and Luz. King follows him, his arms up and reaching for his crown.

Warden Wrath: My guards could never get you, but I knew if I took your pet's toy, you'd come running. [Crumples the crown.]

King: No! My power!

Eda: What do you want with me? I've never actually broken any of your stupid laws... in front of you.

Y/N: Maybe don't say that...?

Warden Wrath: I want you... [Pulls out a bouquet of flowers.] to go out with me.

Eda: Wha...?

Luz: [Disgusted.] What?

Y/N: What?

Max: What?

Guard #2: Go, boss!

Warden Wrath: You've always eluded our capture. You've always been the one who got away. I found that alluring.

Y/N: T-this is my wife!

Warden Wrath: You stay out of this!

Warden Wrath tosses the bouquet over his shoulder, turning his now free hand into tentacles to grab Luz and Y/N and hold them above the ground.

Warden Wrath: So how about it, Owl Lady? The most powerful witch of the Boiling Isles and the feared Warden Wrath. We'd be the strongest power couple ever. I mean, it's—it's not like you can say no right now.

Max: I don't want him as my dad!

Y/N: Eda, don't date him. I can survive, what he'll do to me. I think?

Warden Wrath: Let's see... how about being locked in a dark, cramped cell for a week?

Y/N: I'll manage.

Warden Wrath: Really? How about being thrown into the Fire Pits?

Y/N: [Nervously.] I-I'll be fine.

Warden Wrath: Or perhaps being chained and hung in the Ice Caves?

Y/N: [Swallowing hard.] Still okay.

Warden Wrath: Maybe being fed to the Harpy Beasts?

Y/N: I can manage.

Warden Wrath: Beaten with hot irons.

Y/N: I can live.

Warden Wrath: Or maybe... having to wear scratchy, uncomfortable clothes and being surrounded by loud, chaotic noises constantly While in a crowded room.!

Y/N: [Eyes widening, starting to panic.] N-no, no, no! Not that! Anything but that!

Luz: He won't survive!

Eda: Warden, you're already crossing the line! Leave him alone! All right, Warden. You win. I'd just like to say something first. Come closer. No. Just come a little bit closer. Just... Yeah, that's good.

She blows a raspberry in his face

Warden Wrath yells and drops Y/N and Luz, who also yells. He wipes Eda's spit off his mask. Eda laughs.

Warden Wrath: Impudent wench! Don't you know how many germs are in your mouth? Blegh!

Eda: Get over it. You had your guards stalk me, and then you cut off my head. I am not going out with you. Besides, I'm not only a mom but also already married.

Warden Wrath: If you don't accept, then I have no choice but to des—Oh!

Luz hits him in the head with Eda's staff. He falls to the ground with a loud crash.

Eda: Nice!

The two guards step next to Eda's head. She glares at them as Max and Scare walk up behind them and drags their hoods over their eyes.

Luz: Okay, we're going now.

Luz runs forward, grabbing Eda's head. Eda's body frees King of the guard's grasp, and Y/N grabs her by the waist and they all mount the staff. Owlbert unfurls his wings and hoots.

Luz: Expecto... flying? Magicus... escapicus!

Warden Wrath grunts as he gets up.

Eda: Gun it, magic stick!

The staff takes off. Warden Wrath clamors to his feet.

Warden Wrath: Owl Lady, I won't let you get away again!

His arms transform into bundles of tentacles, which he uses to chase after the staff. Cut to them flying past prison cells, Warden Wrath in hot pursuit. Luz and the camera zero in on the lever keeping Katya's cell shut.

Luz: Y/N, Max, Eda, lend me a hand!

The three places their hands against Luz's. They open the cells of the three prisoners Luz and King had talked to earlier. All of them look excited. They burst through an outer door high in the center of the Conformatorium with a yell from Luz, then plummet. Warden Wrath exits right behind them, front flipping off the pillar. The staff and Warden Wrath fall toward the ground. Warden Wrath extends one of his tentacles, hitting the very back of the staff and launching Eda, Y/N, Scare, Max, Luz, and King off of it. They roll when they hit the ground, and Warden Wrath steps in front of them, his hand shifting into a blade again.

King: Ow, my bones!

Y/N: This is why I hate going places!

Eda: Luz...

Eda reattaches her head, then reaches into her hair and pulls out the key to the portal door.

Eda: Go back to the human world.

She hands Luz the key, then runs at Warden Wrath.

Luz: What about you guys?

King: If you think this guy is bad, you shoulda seen her last boyfriend!

King, Scare, Y/N, and Max go to help Eda.

Eda: Not my boyfriend.

She grabs Y/N, Max, and King and jumps back towards Luz, avoiding Wrath's blade-hands.

Eda: Go! Go!

She puts Max, Y/N, and Luz onto her staff.

Max: Mom! What about you!

Luz: But—But I—

Eda slaps the bottom of the staff, sending it into the air. Warden Wrath takes off his mask to reveal a face that's mostly mouth, which opens to breathe fire. Eda expertly draws two spell circles, one that catches the fire and one that launches it right back. Wrath slams into the wall of the Conformatorium. Luz whimpers as she tries to not fall off the staff. Wrath stands up, brandishing his blade-hands and running at Eda again. The three prisoners peek out of the hole that he left in the wall. Luz flies down to talk to them.

Luz: Why are you guys just standing there? This is your chance to escape!

Eye-Eating Prisoner: The warden'll catch us. He always does.

Katya: We belong here.

Tinella Nosa: Self-doubt is a pwison you can never escape fwom.

Luz: So, you have a different way of doing things, a different way of seeing things. That might make you weird, but it also makes you awesome. Don't you see?

Katya: Why are you helping us?

Y/N: Because us weirdos have to stick together. And nobody should be punished for who they are. Unlike me and my dad who had a learning disability. I'm not saying we should've been punished I'm just saying every day our lives were made hell.

The three prisoners all cheer. Luz turns the staff around.

Luz: Now, let's get 'em!

Max: What do we do?

They all follow Luz.

Cut to Eda being thrown against the ground, and King being thrown into her arms a second later. Scare was thrown to a wall. Warden Wrath looms over them.

Warden Wrath: No more running away, Owl Lady. Today I capture you once and for all!

King whimpers, and hides his face in Eda's chest.

Scare: I blame you for this.

Luz: Go, go, go, go!

[The prisoners scream as they barrel into Wrath. Y/N, Max, and Scare join in, with Scare laughing maniacally. Luz flies behind them.]

Eda: Luz?

Eye-Eating Prisoner: [While shoving Wrath.] I eat my own eyes!

Tinella Nosa: [Trips Wrath.] I think the world is a twiangle!

Katya: [Holding Wrath down.] And I practice the ancient art of fanfiction!

Tinella Nosa joins Katya in holding Warden Wrath down while Eye-Eating Prisoner grabs his arms and ties them together. He then flips Wrath onto his stomach, so he can see Luz descending on Eda's staff.

Warden Wrath: You! Who do you think you are?

Luz: [Points at Wrath.] Do not underestimate me, Warden Wrath, for I am Luz, the human, warrior of peace. [Wind blows her hair.] Now eat this, sucka!

[Luz pulls her firecracker from her book report out of her messenger bag, tossing it into the air before hitting it with Eda's staff. The firecracker lands in Wrath's flaming mouth and goes off, sending fireworks into the air. He runs away, humiliated, fireworks still going off in his mouth, while the prisoners cheer.]

Tinella Nosa: [Jumping up and down.] We are victorious!

[Eda, with King on her shoulder, walks closer to Luz, putting a hand on the human's shoulder.]

King: That was actually one of her better breakups.

Eda: Not a breakup. Anyway, let's bounce before any more monsters fall in love with me.

Y/N: Yeah, let's get out of here. We don't want to stick around for any more surprises.

Max: Agreed. This place gives me the creeps.

Scare: Aw, come on! I was just starting to have fun!

———

Back to the living room of the Owl House, where Eda leans her staff against the couch.

Eda: Well, a deal's a deal. Let's get you home.

The key flies out of Luz's bag and into Eda's hand. She presses the eye, and the portal door unfolds itself in front of the fireplace. Luz walks up to it, then hugs herself and turns back to look at Eda and King. King looks at the ground, visibly sad. Luz reaches into her bag.

Luz: Before I go...

She holds out the head of her Azura doll and removes Azura's crown.

Luz: I know it's not the same, but... a king shouldn't be without a crown.

King accepts the crown and places it on his head.

King: This shall suffice. You there, plant! You are now under my command.

He points to something and walks off

Max grabs the Azura book off the table and hands it to Luz.

Max: For you.

Luz takes it, and the pamphlet for Reality Check Summer Camp that's on top of it, and walks toward the portal. She stares at the pamphlet before putting it under the Azura book. She pauses in front of the door, looking at it. She looks back down at her book, then up, at a mirror above the fireplace. Luz gasps. She holds up the book, on the cover of which is Azura in the foreground, with an older witch, a knight, a jester, an archer, and a dog/cat creature in the background. She lowers the book to reveal the mirror showing a very similar image, King, Max, Scare, Y/N and Eda, and herself in the foreground between them. She brightens and turns around.

Luz: Okay. I know you got your head cut off, and we started some kind of prison riot, but this was the most fun I've ever had.

Eda blinks owlishly in surprise.

Luz: I don't fit in at home. You all don't fit in here. If I stay, we could not fit in together.

She looks at the pamphlet for Reality Check one last time, then crumples it.

Luz: I'm not going back to summer camp.

Max: What's summer camp? What are we talking about here?

Luz: I want to stay and become a witch. Like Eda. And Azura.

Eda: What? All right, that's crazy. Humans can't become witches.

Luz: Maybe that's because they haven't tried. If you teach me to become a witch, I'll do anything you want.

King: Let her stay! She can make us snacks.

Eda: Well, I could use a hand keeping this goofball out of the cupboards. All right. I'll teach you how to be a witch. But you have to work for me before you learn any spells. Deal?

Eda holds out her hand. Luz looks at it before grinning and crushing the five in a hug.

Eda: Gah! What's going on?

Y/N: No touching!

King: Too tight! Too tight!

Max: Should I be worried? I'm worried?

———

Luz opened the creaking door to a storage room. She unrolls a sleeping bag and, now wearing pajamas, throws herself on it, before turning over and taking a picture of her and her mom out of her messenger bag. She rubs her thumb over the glass before placing the frame right next to her pillow. Her phone vibrates, and she grabs it and turns it on. A message from "Mom❤️" reads: How's summer camp? Luz's expression falls, and she moves her phone away from her face.

King clears his throat, steps into view while holding Francois.

King: Your sleep cocoon looks fluffy.

Luz sits up and pats the sleeping bag. King curls up at the bottom below her feet and falls asleep. Luz smiles at him before replying to her mom: "I think I'm gonna like it here". Smiling, she puts her phone down, turns to the side, and falls asleep. Zoom out to the exterior of the Owl House. The giant stained glass eye above the door blinks.
