[Open in the Emperor's Castle, where Belos has completely rebuilt the portal. He has an Abomaton inject a green substance into the door lock before using a pieced together key to open it. However, the key is instantly vaporized. Nearby, Hunter observes the test when Flapjack flies by and chirps.]

Hunter: [Quietly swats Flapjack.] Shoo!

Emperor Belos: Would you like to see how it works, Hunter?

[Hunter gasps and hides Flapjack before approaching.]

Hunter: I didn't mean to hide, Emperor Belos.

[Belos turns around, his maskless face is revealed to have a green scar.]

Emperor Belos: We found every piece of the door. But without the power of the key, it refuses to open.

Hunter: [Curious.] Is it true that rain doesn't boil in the Human Realm?

Emperor Belos: It is. You know, I've been there before. Did I ever tell you that?

[Hunter shakes his head.]

Emperor Belos: The trees there are green. Nights are quiet. I look forward to seeing it again. Were you spying on me just to hear these boring stories?

Hunter: The operation at the Knee, why did you switch me out with Kikimora?

Emperor Belos: Everyone has a use, Hunter. Kikimora has her intricate little plans. The scouts carry out orders. And you, well, the Titan has big plans for you, and it would such a hassle to find a replacement. So, right now, you can be useful by staying safe in the castle.

[Belos escorts Hunter out of the room.]

Hunter: If this is punishment for failing my last mission, I swear I can do better.

Emperor Belos: Goodnight, Hunter. [Closes door.]

[Unsatisfied, Hunter turns and runs off.]

-Theme Song-

[Amity is walking down a hall of the Owl House holding a clipboard.]

Amity: Hooty, what's your status?

Hooty: [Breaks through a window.] The perimeter's secured. Nothing's getting past me.

Amity: Good. [Walks off.] Clean up that mess.

Hooty: Ma'am.

[Hooty sweeps the broken window pieces away with his neck.]

[In the kitchen Willow, accompanied by Clover, places bags down on the table.]

Amity: Willow, have you gathered the supplies?

Willow: [Salutes.] Yes, we are ready to attack this on all fronts.

Amity: [Gives a thumbs up.] Excellent.

[A white cat comes up to her, leaving a dead spider at her feet.]

Amity: Aw, Ghost. Did you help too? [Gives Ghost a chin scratch.] Who's a good palisman? Great, now all we need is—

[King, Gus, and Emmiline enter, on Gus' shoulder. Gus is holding CDs while King has a speaker, a disc hanging off his intact horn.]

Gus: Rain? Beach waves?

King: Something called "lo-fi beats to study and relax to"? We've got it all.
