[Open on the back of the Owl House. Cut to the kitchen where Eda is stirring something on the stove while King is watching Luz and Lena talk to Willow and Gus on a crystal ball.]

Luz: So they said I couldn't remove my thumb, but look at that! [Pretends to remove her thumb.] Whoop!

Lena: Whoa!

Gus: You sliced it off! [Panicked.] You sliced off your own thumb!

Willow: [Chuckles.] You make doing homework actually fun.

Lena: And they say humans can't do .

King: Luz...Lena... [Climbs onto table.] Nyeh! You've been talking to them all morning. Don't forget about the Luz and King comedy hour!

Lena: Oh no!

Eda: Please, no. Not the comedy hour...

King: This week I've been working with props! [Turns around to show a cardboard tube on his nose.] Oh dear, I've gotten a tube stuck on my nose! Will I ever eat again? [Slams a piece of bread on his face.] Looks like I'm toast!

[Luz and King laugh while Lena sighs.]

Eda: It just goes on like this for an hour!

Lena: No. All DAY!

Luz: Heyo, dough boy, quit loafing around!

King: Why don't you bake me?

[Luz and King laugh while Lena facepalms. The crystal ball buzzes with an alarm and flashes red. The time, 8:00, flashes below Willow and Gus.]

Luz: School time! See you guys in class!

Willow: Bye!

Gus: But what about the thumb?!

[Luz ends the call. King sighs disappointedly.]

Luz: Hey, don't worry. We'll finish our comedy hour when I get home. [Kisses King's skull and heads for the door.]

Lena: Luz! Go already!

King: Hee hee, oh, you!

Luz: [Sing-songy.] Try not to miss me while I'm gone! [Closes door.]

King: [Scrambles over to the door.] You... you really think she's coming back this time?

Eda: Yes, she'll be back; she always comes back. It's cute you miss her, though.

King: The King of —Demons [Tosses bread and tube off.] The King of Demons misses nobody! I wouldn't care if she came through this door right now! Wha!

[Luz comes through the door.]

Eda: Hey, you're—

King: You're back! [Climbs up onto Luz's head.] I didn't miss you at all.

Luz: Apparently there's an infestation of pixies at Hexside..... 

Lena: So school's been canceled?

Luz: Yes.

King: That sounds like a crumby situation.

[Luz and King laugh while Lena sighs.]

Lena: Really?

Hooty: Hey! Guess what's been in my mouth that I'm about to throw up!

[Hooty gags for several long moments. Everyone stares at him in disgust. He finally throws up letters and a box.]
