01x19 - Young Blood, Old Souls

[bunniefuu]

[King] The Boiling Isles,

born from the flesh and bones
of a fallen titan.

This original magic
was so potent,

all life on the Isles evolved
to wield magic too.

For years we explored
those powers freely,

until a mysterious witch appeared
who declared that he, and he alone,

could speak to the island.

He said that we were
using magic all wrong.

His teachings took hold, his
strength grew, and he became...

Emperor Belos.

Belos said
that mixing magic was wrong,

that only he had that right,

so he created the Coven system,

and there our knowledge was restricted
and our potential sealed away.

Those who resist
are called Wild Witches,

and they face harsh punishment.

Emperor Belos has since
retreated into his castle.

There are whispers that say
he's planning something big.

I wonder if catching Eda
was part of his big plan.

What do you think, Luz?
Luz?

I don't care what Belos
is up to...

because today I'm saving Eda!

Luz, what are you doing?

This is serious, King.

Eda used her powers to save me
and got caught by Lilith.

Now she's the Owl Beast and is
being taken before the Emperor.

I don't know what he's planning to do
with Eda, but I'm going to rescue her.

Haven't you been
listening to me?

He's the Emperor. He's the
most powerful witch alive.

King, please try
to understand.

Eda is in this situation
because of me,

because of my stupid choice.

I have to make up for it.

But she's
in her Owl Beast form.

How will she even
recognize you?

I don't know,

but I have to try anyway.

Well, then I'm going too.

King...

Me and Eda don't always see
eye to eye,

but I do consider her family.

I want her back
as much as you do.

-All right. Then we've got no time to lose.
-[King grunts]

[growls]

Eda, stop that this instant!

[growls, snarls]

[screeches]

Don't look at me like that.

This is for your own good.

Emperor Belos will heal you, and
we'll be in his Coven together.

Isn't that wonderful?
[blows raspberry]

I will not fall prey
to your childish games.

[groans]

[doors open]

All kneel
before Emperor Belos.

[screams]

Eda, no!

[Eda groans]

Uh, my lord, I apologize
for my sister's rash behavior.

She is still
in her cursed form.

Once you've healed her
as promised,

I'm sure she will become
a useful asset to the Coven.

[Eda screams, groans]

Ah! Where am I?
What is this?

Ah, farts! I got caught.

Edalyn Clawthorn,
the infamous Owl Lady.

The Wild Witch
of Bonesborough.

The mentor of Luz the human.

You stay away from her,
or so help me, Titan...

[chuckles] You've
got it all wrong.

The human is safe for now.

I just want the portal
she came through.

Tough, 'cause I ain't
telling you nothing!

Ugh, pity. Although, I suppose
I could ask the human herself.

Wait, don't touch her.

Lilith, don't let him
hurt her. Lilith!

Ah, taking her to
the healing ceremony?

- I will not be healing her.
- But you promised me.

Don't be so naive, Lilith.
This is the Titan's will.

All Wild Witches must be dealt
with before the Day of Unity.

You understand, don't you?

Of course.
Good.

Oh, one more thing.

Destroy the Owl Lady's staff.

She won't be needing it
anymore.

Perry Porter coming to you live
from outside the Emperor's castle.

Edalyn Clawthorn, known
commonly as Eda the Owl Lady,

has been captured and has been
brought before the Emperor.

For the crime
of attacking a Coven leader

and refusing to join a Coven,

Edalyn Clawthorn's body
shall be petrified in stone.

Today, sundown,
at the Conformatorium.

[gasps] Willow,
are you watching?

Yes.
We have to do something.

Today is a grave day
for Bonesborough.

[all murmuring]

Please tell me that's not
as bad as it sounds.

Petrification is only done
to the worst criminals.

And once the spell is complete,
it can't be reversed.

Lilith.
She cursed Eda.

She captured
her own sister.

She is the worst.

If I ever see her again...
[grunts]

[panting] Luz, calm down. We have
to think about saving Eda first.

[sighs] You're right, but how are we
gonna get to the Conformatorium in time?

[whistling]

We'll have to do something
so diabolical,

so criminally insane,

that they'll have to send us
to the Conformatorium.

[whistling]
[Luz] Hey!

Hmm?

[both] Wha...

[gasps]

Yup.

Perfect plan.

[gasps]

There's not gonna be
a new statue going up today.

Right, Luz? Luz?

Hmm!

Sir, the Owl Lady's human
student has been apprehended.

Very good.

[Emperor]
Ah, Luz the human.

How I've waited
to see you again.

Now I'll have my revenge,
and you'll have front row seats

to Eda's demise.

[guard screams]

Huh?

[shouts]

[grunts] Huh?

- Where's Eda?
- She's in the holding cell in the dungeon.

Draw me a map!

Do you really think Eda
deserves a petrification?

I don't know. This is
all happening so fast.

If we know anything about Luz, she's
going to be here trying to save Eda.

And we'll be here to save
her when she needs us.

Let's split up
and find her.

[Kikimora] Fools!

You let the human escape,

and you drew her a map?

Worry not, Kikimora.

I shall capture the human.

[all groaning]

King, watch the door.
[grunts]

[gasps] Eda?

Eda! [grunts]

[roars]

Eda, wait! It's me.
It's me.

Luz! Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no.
What... What are you doing here?

It's okay, Eda.
I'm here to save you.

Your magic isn't
strong enough for this.

You need to leave now!

But... But I can't!

It's my fault
you needed to save me.

It's my fault
you got captured.

No! Listen to me.

I'm here because
of my own actions.

I went against Belos's law, and for a
while I was able to get away with it,

but, you know, without magic,
I can't do much.

I don't regret anything.
I lived freely, and...

I got to meet you.

Eda.

But if you stay here, I won't
be able to protect you.

You need to leave now!

But we're a family.

Us weirdos have to
stick together, remember?

You have a family
already.

Go back to them.

And when you're home, use your fire
magic to destroy the portal door.

I don't know why Belos wants it,
but we can't take any chances.

I love you, Eda.

I love you too, kiddo.

[alarm buzzing]

Luz, get away.

No! Not yet!

I'm sorry.

[screams, grunts]

Goodbye, Luz.

Eda!

[sobbing]

Drat!
Let me go!

I'm too late.

At least I found you,
human.

You.

You hurt Eda.

You put her in chains,

and now I will take you down.

[screams]

I just wanna talk.

Talk to the glyph, witch.

[roars]

Ah, stop!
[Luz grunting]

What is wrong with you?

[gasps] Luz!

[both scream, grunt]

[screams, grunts]

Luz, watch out!

[grunts]

[grunts] Fire!

What? [grunts]
[grunts]

Please just listen
to me.

No way. You deserve
to be petrified.

Not Eda.

You're right.

I deserve to be
in Edalyn's place.

Why did you do all this?

When Edalyn and I
were younger,

we were the best of friends.

[girls laughing]

[laughs, grunts]

[crying]

[crying continues]

With this spell declared,
let the pain be shared.

[gasps, squeals]

[Lilith] Being in the
Emperor's Coven was my dream.

I wanted to work alongside the
most powerful witch on the Isles

and make the word
a better place.

Eda wanted to be with me,

but there was a problem.

[scout]
One spot is available.

You duel tomorrow.

The winner
will join our ranks.

[Lilith] I knew Edalyn
would b*at me.

She was younger
but worked twice as hard.

She met me at my level.

Emperor Belos always said, "To be
great, you have to make sacrifices."

What would he do
in my situation?

I found a spell that would
take away her powers.

I thought it would
just be for a day.

- [screams]
- No.

I refuse to battle my sister.

I've decided that covens
aren't really my style.

Hey, don't forget me
when you're a big sh*t, sis.

[Lilith] And as Edalyn
walked away...

[grunts, screams]

[groaning]

[gasps]

[screams]

[hisses]

[crowd shouting]

[man] That girl's a monster.

[booing]

[snarls]
[man ] Get out! Go!

Edalyn!

Lilith Clawthorn,

we welcome you
to the Emperor's Coven!

[crowd cheering]

[Lilith] I made my sacrifice
for the Emperor,

and it was time
to receive my reward.

I've been pursuing Edalyn because
if she joined the Emperor's Coven,

Emperor Belos told me
he would heal her curse.

But he lied to me.

I know how to rescue Edalyn,

but I can't do it alone.

How do I know
I can trust you?

Owlbert, you're okay.

[coos]

All right, Lilith.

I don't like your whole deal, but...

we need your help
to save Eda.

Thank you.

[grunts]

Now let's head back.

[wind whistling]

Hey, Luz.
You need a minute?

No. I'm coming.

I don't see Luz anywhere.
Do you think she got caught?

[buzzer sounds]

Well, folks, Eda the Owl Lady
has appeared onstage,

which means the petrification
process is about to begin.

You can take this up to the stage
where they're holding Edalyn.

Thank you, Lilith.

What will you do now?

I will stay
in the Emperor's Coven,

but I will make sure nothing
like this ever happens again.

That's good to hear.

Wait, why are there
no guards around?

[screams]
Lilith!

[screams]
King!

[both screaming]

Ah, Lilith.
You chose the wrong side.

[King, Lilith whimper]

- No!
- Ah, puh-puh.

I'd actually like
to have a word with you, human.

[King grunting]

Hello, Edalyn.

Lilith. You hurt Luz,
you cursed me.

Before anything turns me to
stone, I'll tear you apart.

[grunts]
No, don't!

- [gasps]
- She was trying to help.

She even betrayed the Emperor
for you.

What?

If I knew something
like this would happen,

Edalyn, I...

[rumbling]

[gasps] [gasps] We
gotta do something.

In a shocking turn of events, head Coven
leader Lilith is now in the holding cage.

Escorted by what appears to be
a deranged cat.

Augustus, I'm live!
Dad, you have to stop!

Yeah. What's happening
to Eda isn't right.

She might not always
follow the rules,

but she hasn't done anything
worthy of a petrification.

She helped me escape jail.

She helps me stay in business.

She helped me
love teaching again...

after she left.

The Emperor
should let Eda go.

Let Eda go!

[chanting] Let Eda go!
Let Eda go!

Let Eda go! Let Eda go!

Let my friends go, or else...

[grunts, shouts]

Okay.

I'll play.
[grunts, screams]

[grunts]

[screams, panting]

[grunting]

[screams]

[Belos] What's wrong, human?
I thought you wanted to fight.

[groans]

Huh? [screams]

Had enough?

Not even close.

[groans, growls]

[chuckles]
I like your spirit,

but try that again, and things
won't end well for you.

Now I'm just a humble messenger
for the Titan.

In the grand scheme of things, the
Owl Lady's life is inconsequential.

But then you showed up.

If you want to save your mentor,

give me the portal
to the human realm.

But my home...

- [both scream]
- [Eda grunts]

Edalyn!

[screeches]

[Belos chuckles]
You probably think

we want to inv*de
the human realm,

but the Titan's will
is not so boarish.

You'll understand soon.

Ticktock, human.

The Owl Lady doesn't have
much time left.

- [Eda grunting]
- No!

[Eda groans]
Fine!

[in Spanish] Lo siento, Mama.

Here, it's yours.

The Titan will be pleased.

Go on then.

Go be a hero.

I may have lost,
but so have you.

[grunts]

[grunts]

[screams]

Wh... What do we do?

The spell
wasn't completed.

Maybe I can
help her fight it.

No. What is happening?

Free them now!

Eda, are you okay?

As good as I'll ever be.

Let's fly.

[cheering]

[Kikimora] My liege. [gasps]

Children of the Isles.

The Titan has told me
to spare the Owl Lady's life,

but in return, her curse
will strip away all her powers.

Let her monstrous form be a lesson
about the dangers of wild magic.

Don't worry, Eda. I'll run and
get you some elixir and...

No, human. No amount of
elixir can heal her now.

Oh, sister...

I should've done this
a long time ago.

With this spell declared,
let the pain be shared.

[Luz] Eda!
[laughs]

Can you still do magic?

That's a no. It'll take some
time to get used to this.

I feel that I've been
weakened as well.

It's okay. I can teach
you what I know,

and what we don't know,
we can learn together.

Thanks, kid.
I look forward to that.

[Luz] And that's how we
escaped from the Emperor.

Everyone told me he was
the most powerful witch alive.

But look at this, Mom. I chipped
off a piece of his mask.

I know he's not invincible now.

It's a strange feeling,
having gone through so much,

and not having you here
to share it with.

And I don't know when or how
I'm gonna see you again.

But I will find
my way home to you.

I promise.

[speaking Spanish]

Sire, those miscreants
are still at large.

- Please allow me to capture them...
- Worry not, Kiki.

We'll be keeping an eye on the
inhabitants of the Owl House.

In the meantime, the Day of
Unity is almost upon us,

and we have much work to do.
