On the Emperor's Castle a flag bearing the sign of the Emperor's Coven swayed against the wind. 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. 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.

"I haven't forgotten what you've promised me. I will bring you my sister, Emperor Belos."
"Then why the delay?" Kikimora said behind Lilith who turns around in surprise
"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?"
"Rest assured, Kiki. I have everything under control."

Lilith snaps fingers and guards approach upon command
"Today, we capture Eda, once and for all."

At the Owl House, Hooty is fast asleep...

"Hoot, hoot, hoot, hoot, hoot, hoot, hoot..." He snored as Lilith appeared from behind bushes outside of the house

"Good. That infernal house demon is asleep." She beckons at the guards as they ready their weapons
"Surround the house!"
The guards go off in different directions as Hooty extends
"Sleepwalking... sleepwalking....Sleep-hooting!"

Hooty completely awake slams his face into the ground, popping up behind Lilith
"Hiya, Lilith! Peek-a-hoot!" Hooty smashes Lilith into a tree, Lilith grunts as guards charge at Hooty

"Sorry! Eda doesn't like trespassers, but I'm always here to make new friends! Hoot!" He bonks guard on the head and wears guard armor
"Oh! Look at me! I'm a person now. Wobbly, wobbly! Ooh, blackout!" He punches other guard

"Hoot hoot!" He throws guard armor away

"Hoot hoot! Bye, friend! Ooh! I feel like dancing!"He shakes body to hit the guards
"Hoot!"

Lilith grunts, grabs her staff and stands while Hooty is bobbing in front of a tree. Lilith takes aim and fires a spell
"I did it!" He 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

"Aww! Just an old leaf! Well, that's good too." Hooty eats leaf while making loud chewing noises

From inside the Owl House, Eda is wearing a yellow scarf, watching Hooty fighting the guards through her binoculars

"Hooty! Ah, you're a thorn in my side." She takes a cup of tea as a coven guard is slammed into the window.

"But he always digs his way into you're heart,right?"

Y/n smiled at Eda while Luz walks into the living room intrigued by what's brewing in Eda's cauldron
"Ooh, magic 'sghetti." Luz reaches her hand into the cauldron and tries to touch it
"Hey!" Eda magically slaps Luz's hand with the spoon
"That 'sghetti is Witch's Wool. It repels powerful spells." Eda holds up some of the wool
"Every witch worth their salt has a cloak made from this stuff"
Luz stares at the wool adoringly.

"I'm worth salt... I want cloak!"
Luz tries to grab the cauldron but Eda pulls it away from her
"Easy, kid! With the Emperor's goons at my doorstep, I need this for protection. They have really stepped up their attacks lately."
Luz stares at Eda intensely.
"I think I finally understand why the Emperor wants you so badly....he's got the hots for you, doesn't he?" Luz jokingly said

Eda shoots finger guns and clicks her tongue. "Uh, but no. Emperor Belos wants to control all wild magic through his coven system. He ordered my capture years ago because I refuse to fall in line."
"And he won't stop until he's got you..." Luz droops her head.
