Gus, I'd love to go to school with you, but I don't know how I can. Principal Bump banned me from Hexside.
But nothing. Bump did you a favor. There ain't nothing for you at that dweebus factory. [to Gus] No offense, dweebus.
GusIt's okay. I come from a long line of dweebuses.
[slams down the box she was holding] Well, I would love to go some day. Better than unpacking boxes in the Eda Coven.
[standing] Oh, you think you're clever, huh?
Ooooh! Fight, fight, fight!
Can it, King! First off, it's the "Bad Girl Coven". And second off, I guess you don't want in on the T-shirt order, huh? [pulls out a piece of paper with a "Bad Girl Coven" shirt drawn on it; rock music plays]
I don't care about T-shirts, Eda! I want to learn magic, and they teach that at Hexside!
I mean... yeah, well... [grunts, starts walking out] I don't wanna hear another word about Hexside! Unless it's "Hexside is on fire" and "let's grab front row seats"! [slams the door behind her]
[looking sad] Aw, look what you did. [gleefully] I'm gonna go rub it in! Nyeh! [follows Eda, laughing]
[Luz sighs and collapses on the couch.]
Gus
Luz? A-About the ban... I, uh... used my H.A.S. presidential authority to pull some strings! You've been given a full pardon!
Gus
I got the ban lifted!
[excited, grabs and shakes Gus] Oh my gosh! Yes, yes, yes! Of course I'll be there tomorrow! Gus, this will be great! [jumping on the couch] I get to see the school, and save the president!
Gus
Great! I'll see you tomorrow! [leaves the Owl House] Yes! You did it, Gus! [dances to some music] You did it, Gus! You're the smartest, you're the best!
Sweet moves, little dude.
Gus
[yelps in shock] I always forget you're there!
I forget I'm here too... Boop!
[Gus stares at him, looking disturbed.]
Luz, this isn't a good idea.
Yeah, I've never even played Grudgby before! How am I supposed to beat Boscha?
But you're the better witch. [gets out a DVD of "The Field of Deadly Fates", a sports movie featuring Azura] I don't know much about sports, but I do know about sports movies! We, too, are a ragtag team of lovable misfits joined together to defeat a powerful enemy. With a little team spirit and a training montage, we can win!
Well, if you think this'll work, then I'm in. How about you, Gus?
Gus
[producing a pair of flags] In seasons past, these flags have waved in support of Grudgby greats. Now they will wave for the greatest: ME!
[suddenly looking extremely nervous] Me? On a team with you? ... Running around in cute uniforms?!... SWEATING?! [blushes intensely] I GOTTA GO! [runs off]
Huh. Well, I guess she's out.
[plays motivational sports music on her phone and dons a running headband] All right! Every great sports story includes a training montage.
Gus
[raising his hand] What's a "montage"?
[We see scenes of Luz explaining what a montage is to Willow and Gus using a chalkboard, then showing them a football movie on a TV, then all three of them having a tea party in animal onesies. Cut back to the field.]
Gus
Oh, I get it now! ... Wait, were we just having a tea party in animal jammies?
What happens in the montage stays in the montage! Now let's hit the field!
VViney
[about Hunter] Did he just make an account?
Gus
[chuckles] He's worse than my dad.
[They notice Luz and Amity up ahead]
I am really digging those outfits. So, how was work at school? Did we miss anything?
Just had our first team win as the Emerald Entrails. [she and her team pose]
Oooh! Lemme see! Lemme see!
[Willow displays the Emerald Entrails' team photo in her social media feed; seeing Hunter among the group, Luz and Amity gasp]
LALuz and Amity
[in unison] WHAT?!
[Gus finds a disheveled Hunter in the school theater while chasing Flapjack]
Gus
What are you doing here, Golden Guard?!
Wouldn't you like to know? [chuckles menacingly] But rest assured, Gus, I...
[A clattering sound is heard and Gus looks behind Hunter to see packets of Hex Mix and some books; Hunter tries to hide this while blushing with embarrassment]
Gus
I'll ask you one more time: what are you doing here, Hunter?
[Flapjack grabs him by his hair] OW-OW-OW-OW! Okay, fine! [glares at Flapjack in annoyance as the latter perches on his shoulder] Truth is, my living situation has been compromised. Maybe! So I just need a place to crash. Temporarily! Hexside...was the only place I could think of.
Gus
How...vague of you. Do you know where Luz is, by any chance?
[surprised] She's...not with the Owl Lady?
PBPrinciple Bump
[over the P.A. system] Students, please join me in the gym for an important announcement.
Gus
[summons his lunch bag and gives it to Hunter] I'm not sure what you're going through, but that much Hex Mix can't be good for your stomach. [he leaves]
[A transformed Belos corners Luz and the Hexsquad, and prepares to kill them - but his scythe-shaped arm is effortlessly held back by the Collector in his true, childlike form, to everyone's surprise.]
[smiling cheerfully] Whatcha playin'?
[trying to hide his fear as the Collector glares at him] Collector! You're free, just as promised...
"As promised"? I remember someone throwing me off a bridge... [smiles again] I'm not angry, though. Say, you wanna play tag? [twirls his finger, dragging Belos towards him] I'm it.
[The Collector taps Belos' face, immediately launching him into the door and splattering his body into a pile of slime, to the Hexsquad's further shock.]
[giggles] Too slow! [approaches the Hexsquad curiously] You guys look slow too. Do you need a head start?
[hurrying in, nervously] Whoa, whoa, Collector! Buddy, pal!
Remember what we talked about? You gotta help all my friends outside, or, uh... we won't get to play "Owl House"! [looks back at the group]
[playing along] Uh... Owl House? Uh, gosh! [chuckles nervously] I love that game!
The memories last a lifetime!
Gus
I play it every hour!
[squeals, looking particularly terrified]
I'll explain the rules later. But remember, we need lots of players.
[The Collector looks outside, wincing as he sees the eclipse, and briefly enlarges his eyes like binoculars to see everyone having their magic drained away.]
[He moves the moon with a simple movement with one finger, stopping the spell and saving Hunter and everyone else. The Hexsquad wait to see what happens next.]
Hmm... [chuckles] If we're gonna play Owl House, [floats up into the air] we're gonna need an Owl House!
[He claps his hands, and the Titan's skull starts to disassemble into rearranging pieces, while the Hexsquad looks on in growing fear]
[excited and delighted] WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BLAST, EVERYONE!
MMasha
I hope you're all prepared for a truly scary ride.
GWGus and Willow
[chanting] Make us cry! Make us cry!
MMasha
Because there's nothing scarier than knowledge.
Gus
Boo, just lie to me!
MMasha
Let me tell you the eeriest unsolved mystery of Gravesfield: the Tale of the Brothers Wittebane.
[to Luz and Hunter] Wittebane? Isn't that Belos?
MMasha
The year is 1613. Two orphaned brothers arrive in Gravesfield. Their names? Philip...and Caleb.
[experiencing flashbacks of Belos and himself] Oh, no...
MMasha
Caleb did his best to take care of his younger brother. They tried to fit in with this town, and its unsavoury practices. They became witch-hunters! Local lore suggests that the Brothers Wittebane met a real witch from another world - her name was Evelyn! And the older brother was spirited away. She dazzled him with magic and visions of a strange yet beautiful place! They used a secret code to travel between worlds. Philip set off to save his brother and bring the witch to justice - but neither were ever seen again! Maybe Philip saved Caleb, and they went on to lead peaceful lives. Or maybe he's still chasing his brother, [shining their flashlight under their face] caught in a cycle of horror and strife! [turns off the flashlight, casually] Sounds like big bro got a hot witch girlfriend and little bro got upset. But that's just me.
[Luz arrives in the flooded Old Gravesfield cemetery and creates an ice bridge to the island in the centre; there, she finds Hunter, whom Belos has secretly possessed]
Hunter. Are you okay? Do you see Belos?
Oh, no. Just my imagination playing tricks again. Why don't you find the Titan Blood while I find my Palisman? Little guy got...spooked off.
Good idea. All this Belos talk has me on edge. [to herself] I hate to ruin Amity's surprise. I really appreciate that everyone wanted to do this. You guys are great friends.
[clutches his arm as Belos' possession nears completion] Have you found the blood yet?
I'm on it. I just have to— [sees Flapjack cowering behind a headstone] Flapjack? Why do you look so scared?
[Belos, now fully in control of Hunter's body, approaches her from behind, eyes aglow and with his and Hunter's voices laid over each other]
Luz...didn't you use an ice glyph to get here? [horns sprout from Hunter's head as he speaks] Your magic is working.
[Luz's eyes dilate with horror as she realizes; she suddenly hears Amity call out to her and turns away]
Luz? I think she's this way.
Gus
Guys? Where are ya?
[Luz takes Flapjack onto her shoulder and turns back around to find the Belos-possessed Hunter standing in front of her, his face and arms now marled with Belos' ooze]
I saw you. Glyphs do work here.
I did. Thanks again for all the help, Luz. But I don't need you anymore.
[he swipes at her with his transformed arm, narrowly missing her and Flapjack]
[digs up the Titan's Blood vial] Ah... There you are. [Luz knocks the vial out of his hand with an ice spike and attacks him, missing each time; he stares at her mockingly] You're not even trying right now. What? Afraid you'll hurt him?
[Luz sweats with fear and anger as her other friends, Vee included, and mother arrive]
Gus
Something's wrong.
[raising Hunter's voice above his own to mock Luz] See? this is why you're so useful, Luz. You're so desperate to help people...you even helped me meet the Collector.
[The others look shocked]
Luz [increasingly panicked, her secret now out] I didn't mean to! I thought I was doing something good!
You did do something good. I thought this one was another lost cause. Because of you, we can finish our work as witch-hunters, starting with THEM!
[He proceeds to attack the group using Hunter's body]
[Four years after the fall of Belos and the Coven System, the Noceda family arrive at the Owl House via a new portal]
VVee
Hurry, hurry! [reverts to her true form as Camila, Luz, and Stringbean follow]
[covering her eyes] What's the rush, Vee? No one's gonna be made if we're a little late.
Yes, but today is special.
[Luz opens her eyes and gasps to see her family and all her friends throwing her a "King-ceanera" party for her eighteenth birthday]
What is this? [Amity comes over and kisses her while the others cheer and applaud]
Well, since you spent your fifteenth birthday helping us rebuild the Isles...
And sixteenth, and seventeenth...
We wanted to make it up to you.
Camila told us all about your quinceañeras from the human realm.
Gus
[chuckles] And they sounded a lot less haunted than our birthdays.
[unravels a scroll] Nevertheless, I made sure we followed Camila's instructions perfectly!
I...um... [looks over at the piñata, dress, and cake with barely-hidden disgust] Great job, everyone. [gives a thumbs-up] Muy bueno.
And look, look! [draws what turns out to be a new light glyph on the ground; he activates it and the orb of light falls into Luz's hands, to her awe]
King's powers are getting stronger. Yeah, and it looks like they're different from his dad's. But hey, you've got a whole new glyph language to try out.
[runs over to the cliff near the Owl House] We've got another surprise. The Collector was in the area and, well, he wanted to do something special for the occasion. Look!
[everyone watches as the Collector's magic generates a spectacular light show in the sky]
[in tears of joy] Eda, King...thank you. For everything.
EKEda and King
[in unison] Weirdos.
[turns back to the sky and gasps] They're nearly gone...! [rushes forward and faces everyone] Alright, everyone, on the count of three! One, two, three!
[the camera pans out to show everyone waving goodbye to the Collector—and, by extension, the viewer(s)]
EEveryone
BYEEEEEEEEEE!!!
