Camila[to a caged, gagged Vee] Hello... This is all so confusing, but... who knew I had such a strong girl living under my roof this whole time? [Vee tears up happily]
JJacob
[interrupts, wearing armor] So how do I look? Maybe we can collaborate on a version that can survive the battles on Mars? [notices Camila's phone, gasps] Wait, what is that?! Are you recording this?!
Camila
[nervously] Uuuuuhhhh...
JJacob
[frowns for a moment, then grins] Wonderful! [taking a knife from the wall] Well, I was gonna wait until after the press tour, but let's begin our live dissection of this demon right now! [turns on Vee]
Camila
STOP! Uh, the... the President just called! Yeah, and, uh... [sees Luz encouraging her from the phone] uh... You know what? I don't have the imagination for this. I will be taking this innocent child with me, and you will never bother us again.
JJacob
What?! No, absolutely not! We made a verbal agreement--
Camila
Mister! [brandishing an upside-down slingshot] You better back the heck down, or I will tell the police you have been illegally setting up traps and cameras on private property! [drops the slingshot]
JJacob
I won't let you take away my discovery! I'm the good guy here!
Camila
[takes out a flip-flop from her handbag] Yeah... a lot of bad guys say that. [strikes him with it]
[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.
Camila
Mija?!
[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]
Camila
Is that Hunter?
[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]
[seizes Flapjack using Hunter's body after fighting off Amity, Willow, Gus, Vee, and the Nocedas] That's right. You wouldn't want me harming your precious palisman, would you? Oh, but then again, I don't care what you want. Goodbye, Evelyn...
[To everyone's horror, he pierces Flapjack and starts absorbing his green essence, but Hunter's personality starts to resist, forcing him to let go, and the wounded Flapjack flies back to Luz.]
[crying] Flapjack! Flapjack, you'll be okay...
[regaining control] You know what I'd like, Belos? [struggles and groans in pain] I'd like to leave the Emperor's Coven and never step foot in that throne room again. I'd like to study wild magic, and learn how to carve palismen. I'd like to attend Hexside as a regular student and play flyer derby with my friends. [grabs the vial of blood] But most of all, I'd like to make sure you NEVER! HURT ANYONE! AGAIN! [throws the vial into the moat]
[retakes control of Hunter, enraged] NO!
[Belos jumps into water to retrieve the vial, but he and Hunter cannot swim because of the possession and begin to drown]
Camila
Move. [dives into the moat and resurfaces with the possessed Hunter, whom she drags onto the bridge]
[Belos leaves Hunter's body and materializes before the group in his lich form while grabbing the Titan's Blood vial]
Caleb! You would stab me in the back?!
[coldly] You did it to him first.
[growls and smashes the vial of blood against an archway, creating a portal to the Demon Realm] This is for the good of your souls. You'll thank me later! [he leaves through the portal]
Camila
[dumbfounded] THAT'S THE "BELOS" YOU'VE BEEN FIGHTING THIS WHOLE TIME?!
Camila
Are you ready?
Are you? I'm not sure what we'll see on the other side.
Camila
[beat] Then we don't wanna leave unprepared. [points to Luz's Good Witch Azura hat on the ground; Luz retrieves and puts it on] A good witch always has to have her hat.
[The Nocedas hold hands and walk through the portal, which then disappears; Vee, satisfied, walks away as the camera pans up to the night sky]
VVee
Shoot! Camila still has the car keys!
[Terra Snapdragon is forced to act like Eda in one of the Collector's games.]
TTerra
[deadpan] Oh, hooray, I'm back to normal.
[hiding and watching with the others] What?
TTerra
Who's got a pint of Apple Blood? Hoot hoot.
[groans] Time out, everyone, time out! Terra, for the last time, Eda doesn't sound like that! She's got more of a, like a... a "cool aunt" vibe who pretends to be all cold-hearted, but actually cares a lot!
TTerra
Ugh, you're a real thorn in my side, you know that?! I've had it with you and your stupid little dog!
[Upon hearing her insult King, the Collector looks shocked, then glares in anger.]
TTerra
Ugh, whatever. All I have to do is play Eda the Owl Lady and I don't get turned into one of those things, right? Then let's just continue. [mockingly] "Oooh, I like musicians!"
[charging up a crescent moon shape] You're not being very nice right now.
TTerra
[suddenly scared] Wait!
[The Collector sends the moon towards Terra, hitting her in the forehead and turning her into a puppet, to Luz’s shock. The Collector sits on his star platform unhappily.]
Collector, buddy, you gotta stop doing that. Think about what you're doing to these people!
You are so boring! I'm just playing pretend!
Even playing pretend has consequences. [sadly] A cranky old witch taught me that...
[excited] You mean Eda, right? That's what we need! The real thing! A cranky, know-it-all mentor figure, no substitutes allowed! Maybe if I ask real nice, I wouldn't have to turn her into a puppet!
N- No! Her curse is still...um...in effect. [the Collector looks disappointed] But I can check if she's feeling better.
You can trust me, Collector.
[They shake each other's pinky fingers.]
Camila
[to Luz, as they watch] Is that the little "King" guy you were telling me about?
[nods and smiles] Mm-hmm.
Camila
[gushing] ¡Ay, qué lindo! (Translation: Oh, how cute!)
[Kikimora is revealed to be behind Boscha's domination of Hexside.]
What gives, Kikimora?! Are you working for the Collector?
The days of Kikimora the underling are over. I prefer partnership such as ours. We need to establish our rule now, for the well-being of future generations.
Camila
Okay, I'm still catching up - what's the little red kitten trying to do?
She's just copying Belos' "scare people into worship" thing, because she has NO IDEAS OF HER OWN!
[screams in fury] My whole plan fell apart! I-- I messed up again! [throws her witch hat aside]
Camila
What are you talking about?
[sighs] It doesn't matter. [starts walking away]
Camila
[grabs her daughter's hand, stopping her] No, mija. It does matter. You don't want to leave the Demon Realm, do you?
Camila
You keep messing up? Messing up is a part of living! You don't think I've ever messed up before? Ha! Okay, well, once I scheduled my wisdom tooth surgery the day before my wedding. Oh, then there was that time I got road rage and didn't realize I was cursing out your new principal! And, you know, I sold energy drinks for a pyramid scheme for three years! [starting to tear up] And of course, I was convinced we should move to Gravesfield to be closer to that fancy hospital. You know how that ended. [Luz tears up as well] And worst of all, I didn't stand up for you when you needed me most. [sniffles] I forgot about the Astral Oath.
Camila
The Astral Oath is a promise made between Captain Avery and his family, to love and protect each other, just as they are, through supernovas and solar winds.
[starting to smile again] Mom... are you a secret nerd?
Camila
I had a hard time growing up. [places Luz's witch hat back on her head and caresses her cheek] I was afraid you would too. My biggest mistake was trying to protect you, by changing this beautiful Good Witch into something she wasn't.
[Luz sheds more tears. Inside her waist pouch, unnoticed by either of them, her Palisman egg starts glowing and cracking open]
I think I just realized something... I don't know why it took me so long to figure out. The only thing I've ever really wanted...was to be understood!
[Camila notices the egg glowing brighter than ever, and it finally hatches]
[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.
Camila
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.
[chuckles] And they sounded a lot less haunted than our birthdays.
[unravels a scroll] Nevertheless, I made sure we followed Camila's instructions perfectly!
Camila
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!!!
