[Open on Luz holding a ball of light in one hand and carrying the Owl Staff in the other through a cave and Lena in her silver butterfly form. They stop when they see a large shadow on the wall in front of them. Offscreen there is a deep laugh. Luz and Lena gasp.]

Garlog: Foolish children. Leave this place before you meet your demise.

Luz: Do not underestimate me, Garlog. For I am the good witch, Luz, hunter of monsters. [Perches the staff on her shoulder like a bazooka.

Lena: Me too! I am Lena, the silver maiden! [Gets ready to fire a blast of magic.]

Both: Now eat this sucka—what?

[Garlog turns out to be a tiny creature casting a shadow standing in front of a lantern. Luz picks him up and he lets out a squeak trying to escape much to Lena's displeasure.]

Luz: You're Garlog? [Pulls out his wanted poster, depicting him as being much larger and worth 4,000 snails, compares it to the real thing.

Lena: This is pathetic.

Garlog: Small I may be, but you will soon know fear when I lay waste to all that you both—

[He gets cut off by King, who eats him whole.]

Luz: King, drop it now. 

Lena: Drop it now!

[King mumbles and runs off.]

Luz: [Chases after him.] Drop it! No! We're not gonna play right now! 

Lena: [Chases after King and follows Luz.] King!

-Theme Song-

[The Owl House is shown, wind howling. Cut to Luz and Lena's room, where Garlog is stuffed in a bottle while Luz sets her phone against it. Lena looks at the phone as it starts to record..]

Luz: [Boops Garlog's nose.] Boop! [Turns on camera to say hello to their mother.] Hola, Mama! You haven't heard from us in a while. It's been a week and a half since the ceremony. A week and a half since we destroyed the portal home. We had to. Emperor Belos was going to kill Eda if we didn't hand it over. But we couldn't let him use it, so we blew it up with some magic fire... 

Lena: [To Luz.] She's not gonna understand any of this. That's okay, Luz. Just keep moving forward. 

Luz: [To Camila.] This world is filled with inexplicable magical wonders, like this portal key! [Pulls out the item in question.] We don't know if it contains magic, but we're gonna study all we can, and find a way back to you. A-And look! [Lifts up her leg to show King holding onto it.] We have friends to help us.

King: I'm never letting you both go! You're never returning to the human realm!

Luz: He doesn't mean that. 

Lena: King! [Covers camera.]

King: Yes, I do!

[Cut to Eda in the kitchen, where she is trying to cast magic.]

Luz: [Narrating.] This is Eda the Owl Lady, the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles. [Eda's magic fails.] Or at least she was until her curse overpowered her and weakened her magic. She's doing her best now.

[Scene switches to Lilith, who is wearing a new outfit and putting her old one away.]

Lena: [Narrating.] Eda was cursed by her own sister, Lilith. And she spent her entire life looking for a way to undo it. It's still hard for everyone to trust each other, but maybe with time we can all become friends.
