[Picking up from where the last episode left off, the screen is shown black. King's voice is then heard.]

King: [voice] Luz, I'm so happy I had you and Lena as big sisters.

[Cut to Luz, Lena, Amity, Willow, Gus and Hunter getting launched from the Demon Realm to the abandoned house the Human Realm, all landing on their backs.]

Luz: No! [Runs back towards the door.] King!

[She attempts to reach the portal, but the door closes on her just as she reaches it. She opens it, hoping the portal would activate again, only to find the empty room of the house in front of her. She tries it two more times unsuccessfully, as the others look on in shock. Luz turns around, just as Gus begins to break down crying. Meanwhile, inside the Noceda residence, Camila is in the kitchen cooking soup for a hungry Vee and Zee while reading a news article about Anne Boonchuy. The trio then suddenly hear a knock on the door. Camila opens it, and gasps in shock to find the six teens looking disheveled out in the rain, as Luz and Lena look up at her.]

Luz & Lena: Hey, Mom. We're back. [Start tearing up.]

[Camila looks at her daughters and gives them a warm embrace, with three shown crying.]

[Cut to inside the house. Camila is washing the dishes. Gus helps her by using magic and an awkward Amity gives her a cup of tea., who then in turn receives a pat on the shoulder. Cut to the bathroom. Luz gets out a box of bandages that have cartoon mascots resembling Eda, King, and Hooty, which makes her sad. Hunter then approaches her with Lena by his side.]

Hunter: Hey. Thanks for not telling them that I'm a...

Luz: [opening the box of bandages] A grimwalker?

Hunter: Shhhh, don't say it so loud! Uh... what about you? How've you been since, uh...?

Luz: Since we were in Belos' mind? Since I found out I helped him meet the Collector? Oh my gosh, Hunter. [starts tearing up again] They're all gonna hate me.

Lena: Since we found out I might be a reincarnation of Caleb's lover? I'm worried too.

Hunter: What? Psssh! [Luz wipes away her tears and slightly smiles] No, of course they won't. They won't hate you any more than me when they find out that... [starts panicking] I might be a clone of... someone who was a... witch hunter... with... Belos...

[Cut to the dining room. Willow and Amity are seated at the table, looking despondent. Cut back to Luz, Lena, and Hunter.]

Luz: We'll tell them. When we're ready.

[Hunter and Lena nod. Luz, Lena, and Hunter join the others in the dining room.]

Camila: Okay, so in the Demon Realm, you fought the evil Emperor Belos who turned into a monster...

Gus: Well, he started out human.

Camila: Right, but he was defeated by a newer, smaller bad guy?

Willow: The Collector. We don't know what he is or how Belos found him.

Luz: [panicked] Who knows if we'll ever figure that out?! But they're creating a lot of chaos.

Amity: We have to do whatever it takes to get back.

Camila: And you will. But for now, you should all rest. You're all safe here.

[Cut to outside the house. The lights turn off when the sludge from Belos floats by.]

[Cut to the basement. Gus, Lena, and Hunter are settling in. Gus opens up an umbrella.]
