[Open on the Emperor's Castle. Cut to a flag bearing the sign of the Emperor's Coven. Wild Witches are being brought across the drawbridge on a paddy wagon, most hidden in shadow, the ones we do see looking resigned to their fate. Something explodes out of the castle's chimney. Lilith is watching the procession from atop the castle walls, then turns and heads inside. Cut to Lilith approaching a stained glass window of Emperor Belos, robed witches bowing at his feet while a Hand of the Titan reaches for the sun behind them.]

Lilith: I haven't forgotten what you've promised me. I will bring you my sister, Emperor Belos.

Kikimora: [Behind Lilith.] Then why the delay?

Lilith: [Turns around in surprise.] Kikimora!

Kikimora: The Day of Unity is fast approaching, and other teams have bound many rogue witches to covens, and yet the Owl Lady still roams free. Are you... protecting her?

Lilith: Rest assured, Kiki. I have everything under control. [Snaps fingers and guards approach upon command.] Today, we capture Eda, once and for all.

[Cut to Owl House, where Hooty is fast asleep.]

Hooty: [Snoring.] Hoot, hoot, hoot, hoot, hoot, hoot, hoot...

Lilith: [From bushes outside of the house.] Good. That infernal house demon is asleep. [Beckons at the guards as they ready their weapons.] Surround the house!

[The guards go off in different directions.]

Hooty: Sleepwalking... sleepwalking [Wakes up.] Sleep-hooting!

[Hooty slams his face into the ground, popping up behind Lilith.]

Hooty: Hiya, Lilith! Peek-a-hoot! [Smashes Lilith into a tree.]

[Lilith grunts. The guards charge.]

Hooty: Sorry! Eda doesn't like trespassers, but I'm always here to make new friends! Hoot! [Bonks guard on the head and wears guard armor.] Oh! Look at me! I'm a person now. Wobbly, wobbly! Ooh, blackout! [Punches other guard.] Hoot hoot! [Throws guard armor away.] Hoot hoot! Bye, friend! Ooh! I feel like dancing! [Shakes body to hit the guards.] Hoot!

[Lena hears the noise and wakes up. She goes to find out what is happening.]

[Lilith grunts. She grabs her staff and stands. Hooty is bobbing in front of a tree. Lilith takes aim and fires.]

Hooty: I did it! [Bends down and dodges Lilith's spell.] Oh hey! Look, it's a bug!

[The spell slices through the tree, which falls toward Lilith. She just misses it, then collapses on the ground. But then, Lilith and Hooty are startled by Lena, who has went outside.]

Lena: WHAT IN BOILING ISLES IS GOING ON OUT HERE!

Lilith: Oh! [Lilith left.]

Hooty: Aww! Just an old leaf! Well, that's good too. [Eats leaf; making loud chewing noises.] Lena. I can explain.

Lena: Well, tell me NOW!

[From inside the Owl House: Eda, who is wearing a yellow scarf, watches Hooty fighting the guards through her binoculars.]

Eda: Hooty! Ah, you're a thorn in my side.

[Cut to outside where Lena is confronting Hooty.]

Lena: Hooty! What was going on out here?!
