02x11 - Follies at the Coven Day Parade

[bunniefuu]

Hola, mama!
I know you don't want me staying in the Demon Realm,

but I'm recording this
because I think we can find a middle ground.

This is a world of magic and beauty.
Just look!

[bones cracking]

[snarls]
[Luz screams]

Well, you should know,
I'm even learning magic.

And as a human, it impresses
pretty much everyone.

[scoffs, screams]

Human!
If you ever do that again I will set your eyes on fire!

[chuckling]

Sure, the Demon Realm can be
a little... [winces]

But, there's no safer place
than Hexside School of Magic and Demonics,

right, Principal Bump?

Hmm? [clears throat]

Why, yes.
The well-being of our students is our top priority.

Which is why we send all our troublemakers to our
new and improved detention pit.

[cries for help]
Please no!

Help me.

[growls]

[Luz]
That's enough of that.

[title music]

[Gus] You know,
I think he does it 'cause he's shy.

He's just evil and shy.
It happens.

I heard there's just
a mirror underneath.

[whispers] The real emperor
was society all along.

Maybe he's so handsome
people have a hard time focusing on what he says.

I get it... I can relate.

- [breathing]
- [bones cracking]

Luz!

You've seen Belos up close.

What's he like
under... all that?

Oh. I never got a good look.

I heard he's scarred
from wild magic.

[screams, sighs]

Amity.

Hola, batata.

Did you just call me
a sweet potato?

Yes! Is that not
a term of endearment?

I'm still figuring out
this human language book from Gus.

Aw! Amity,
you're the sweet potato!

Uh, so...
Did that Titan Blood ever come in handy?

Did you finish building
the door?

Did you visit your mom?

Does she know about
high-fives too?

Oh, uh...

Promise me.
When you come home,

you'll stay with me,
and you'll never go back to that place!

Mom, it's not you.
It never was!

Please!

Okay, Mom. I promise.

Uh... [chuckles]
Haven't used the door yet.

Waiting for a good moment,
you know?

[owl hoots]

Later taters!

[gasps]

[sighs] Hmm?

Come on, Luz. There's no way
your mom will make you leave the Demon Realm!

Yeah! When she meets us,
I'll make sure to put on the charm...

that turns people
into obedient zombies.

Whoa, what's going on?

They're probably
prepping for the annual Coven Day Parade.

Floats, streamers,
fireworks...

Ah, it's just a fancy way to kiss
the Emperor's... whatever.

I'm just here
to pick something up.

Mother, please!
No, I'm not seeing anyone.

Yes, I'm standing up straight.

Listen,
I can't come home.

If I don't lead this parade,
Belos will end my...

No! No, of course
I miss everyone. I...

What? I can't choose!
Hello? Mother? Mother?

Hey, Luz. I know
what'll cheer you up.

Aw, no bread puns today, buddy.

What? No. I'm talkin'
about hot goss, girl!

Hot goss buns.
Bread pun.

Guess why we're here!

King?
Eda hired someone to spy on her ex!

[gasps]
Did you read my diary?

And they're Head Witch of the Bard Coven!
Stop it!

And they also...
Stop it, stop it, stop it! Yes!

They secretly led a rebel group
against the Emperor and got captured!

I was there!

Ooh.
[sucks teeth]

- I didn't read that far.
- [Luz gasps]

[sighs]

Well, good job.
You broke Luz.

It was the... yeast
I could do. [laughs]

[Luz] And then Raine battled their fellow coven heads?
[classical music plays]

And sacrificed everything
to save Eda?

It's just like Hecate
and Azura in book !

[music stops]

According to this,
Raine is still working

with the Emperor's Coven
which doesn't make sense.

They were seen
as a traitor!

Maybe you can ask them about it.
Look!

If they're here for the parade,
they'll probably be surrounded by scouts.

Oh, we'd need someone on the inside
to lend us a hand.

Hmm.

[grunts, struggles]

Hup, hup, hup, hup, hup.

Hmm?

[snorts]
Yeah, right.

As if she'd give us
the time of day.

And... And then she said
if I don't make it back for the family reunion,

I'd be banished from Palm Stings
and the family home!

But I've failed
too many missions,

and if I leave my job now,
I'll be banished from my life!

There you go. It's gonna be okay.
[sobs]

Maybe there's a way we can help each other out...
Whoa!

Are you out of your mind?
Kikimora nearly turned me to stone.

She att*cked you
back in Latissa,

and she didn't blink when your girlfriend
was thrown down a pit!

Oh, she is bad,

and not the hot kinda bad.

But this could be
your way to talk to Raine!

Isn't it worth the risk?

Maybe.

But what are you
getting out of this?

On the one hand,
I miss my family.

On the other,
Belos is not a forgiving man.

But I'm just a party planner
at this point...

I'm... just a sucker
for romantic reunions?

This is true...
Ugh, fine!

Fine? What's fine?
What are you cretins planning?

Worry not, Kikimora.

We're gonna help you.

- By kidnapping you and Raine!
- [all] What?

[sniffs, groans]

Thanks, Morton!

[retches]

Keep the change!

I call it the "Ed Ricochet ."

That's how many times
I was sent to the Healing Coven.

Ooh! Wait, are these legal?

Would that make you more or less
interested in buying them?

Hmm.

[chuckles]

Nice work, everyone!

[grunts]

Let's go over the plan
one more time.

King and Hooty will pilot
the float during the parade.

Once it gets
to the halfway point,

you two will set off all the glyphs, potions, and
fireworks to distract people.

With my love of mayhem

and Hooty's desperate need for attention,
this'll be a cake walk!

When Kikimora sends off
the guards to investigate,

that's when Eda and I will obscure the stage
and whisk her and Raine away.

The Coven can't banish Kiki
if she's missing!

She'll get the best
of both worlds!

She'll set an example
for us all!

[chuckles]

Um, I mean... Eda gets to talk to Raine.
It's romantic!

Oh, it's not
that romantic.

Witch, this is peak
of Mount Romance!

[King] Hooty,
what would you know?

[Hooty]
I've been around!

Huh. Must've left my phone
at the Owl House.

[grunting]

[pounding]

Amity!

Uh, hey, Willow.

It's, uh, been a while
since I came here on my own.

Yeah. I guess it has...

Are you okay?

So, Luz has been
acting super weird,

and I think she's lying about her trip
to the human realm

and she left her phoon,
uh, phun?

Ugh, her thingy
at school and...

[muffled scream]

You need to slow down
for me.

Luz says she hasn't been
to the human realm,

but I just get the feeling
that she's lying.

And I can find out the truth
by watching this!

But I'm not gonna inv*de her privacy like that.
Would you?

Mmm... Mm-mmm.

[giggles]
Willow.

Listen, Blight,
if you want my advice,

there's something you have
to do for me first.

Do you still
know how to braid hair?

[chuckles] Okay.
But I am a little rusty.

I'm glad we can be
like this again.

[sighs] This isn't
going to work.

I can't believe I let them
talk me into this.

[Raine]
Who talked you into what?

R-Raine? H-How long
have you been there?

[stammers] Shouldn't you be practicing
your, um, parade wave?

[groans] You know
I hate these things.

Talking to people.
Waving to people. People.

[shuddering]

But I'm just happy
to do my part.

You seem so much more calm
than before.

Oh, why wouldn't they be?

They were sick for a while,
but thanks to me, they're good as new!

T-Terra!

And what brings you out
of your greenhouse, Head Witch?

Terra's been helping me recover.

I can't remember anything with these...
[winces]

...headaches.

Here, sprout.
Drink your tea.

There you go.

Now. You're gonna get
on top of that float

and wave to thousands
of chumps all night.

- Remember to lead with your elbow.
- I'm on it.

Terra could ruin everything!
[beeping]

[gasps]

You're not trying
to leave, are you?

Come. The parade
is about to begin.

[crowd cheering]
[marching band music playing]

[squawks]

[cheering]

[marching band music continues]

[Luz] It's almost time.

Is that our float?

[Luz] Not bad, right?

[ratcheting]

[cheering]

It's a work of art!

That was the signal!
Let's move.

Okay. [grunts]

[yelps] Uh...
I can't get down.

[cheering, whistling]

[ticking]

Four! Three! Two...

[explosions]

[gasps]

[crowd gasping]

[groans]

Should we, uh,
do something about that?

Yes, of course, you hangnails!

I command all of you
to investigate!

[gasps]

And scoop!
Ooh!

I cannot believe
we are being taken against our will.

What sayeth you, fiend?

Uh! That's right!

I, Hecate, will whisk
you away to my kingdom of mirrors and snakes!

[sighs]

[hushed] Hey, come on.

I didn't know
I had to prepare lines.

Knock it off you, two.
Let's get crackin'.

[inhales]

Right. [inhales]

[King]
Mission success, Hooty!

Now, how do we get outta here?

We're gonna have to be sneaky.

Hi! It's me! Your good buddy
Belos! Worship me!

k*ll that monstrosity!

[laughs] Not the first time I've heard that!
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoot!

Run!
Get him!

[panting]

Raine,
I'm so glad you're okay!

Eda? What're
you doing here?

I had to make sure you were okay after that fight
with Darius and Eber.

What fight?

It was just a few weeks ago.
I was with you.

Eda, I spent the last month
sick in bed.

And we...
we haven't spoken in years.

[gasps]

Listen, I don't know
what you want with me.

But I'm the Head
of a Coven now.

And I can't associate
with wild witches anymore.

So move aside.

No.

I'm not leaving till
I get through to you.

Fine.
We can do this the hard way.

[hooting]

Oh, my gosh, it's working!
It's actually working!

We're visible? We need
to disappear again!

If we're caught,
she will end us!

Who will end us?

[rumbling]

[Kikimora] Head Witch
of the Plant Coven, Terra Snapdragon.

[Hoots]
Law is meaningless!

Stealing is legal now!

I am your god!

Oh, my word.
Where could Kiki have gone?

Such a valued member of
the coven must be found post haste!

Have you seen her, little fly?

Guess not.

[gasps]
[Terra] What a shame that Kikimora would disappear...

and right before
her promotion.

[yelps]

All the missions
she would have led.

The shiny new badge,
the respect.

Ah, well. Guess we'll
have to find someone else.

[grunting]

- [panting]
- Hmm. Another pest...

[panting]

[gasps] Sweet potato!
How did you know...

Book , chapter ,
Azura pretends to kidnap Hecate...

During the ice festival to
save her from the wizard clan!

You remembered
my favorite part.

Yes, but right now,
I just want to keep my girlfriend

from being sent
to the conformatorium... again!

Ooh.

Please.

Rainstorm stop it. Ah!

I don't want to hurt you, Eda.

But you're not giving me
much of a choice.

Come on, Raine!
I know when you're going easy on me.

I... [groans]

[grunts]

Did you forget this too?

[music plays]

[grunts] Why won't you
just leave me alone?

[grunts]

For old time's sake,
I'll give you one last chance.

Move.

Please.

So be it.

[scout ]
I think I heard something over here!

- [scout ] Head Witch! Are you there?
- [scout ] Surround the area!

[gasps]

Go home.
Maybe travel for a bit.

Just don't
contact me again.

I work for the Emperor,
after all.

[scout ] Head Witch!
[gasps]

Head Witch! Are you hurt?

No, not badly.

Let's return to the parade.

[Luz]
Okay, Kikimora.

Princess here will get you back
to your family

in Palm Stings by morning.

She's a good girl,
and I'm sad to say goodbye,

but Bump couldn't keep her
at his place anymore.

Isn't it great?

You'll see everyone
at the reunion,

and when you return,
you can brag about your daring escape!

You're walking proof that
you don't have to choose between worlds!

[sighs]
You've been such a help to me, human.

You really are
a kind person.

And an utter fool!

[laughs]
Wha?

Palm Stings can burn
for all I care!

You heard Terra.
They want to promote me! Me!

She could have
been lying.

[growls]

That's a risk
I'm willing to take.

[chittering]

Maybe as a thank you
I could give Belos a few gifts.

A troublemaking human
and... Ah.

You're the little fire starter
from Eclipse Lake.

[growls]

Amity! Now!

[panting]

You got em.

[gasps]

[growls]

Yes. Thank you Luz,
for all the help.

You're welcome!

I mean... Ah, dang it!

[growling]

[gasping]

[Kikimora]
What is this?

Oh, Kiki, try not to
get ahead of yourself.

The Emperor has
a great many plans,

but causing a riot by hurting
a couple of children is not one of them.

Terra! Shouldn't you
be babysitting the bard?

I wasn't sent here
to watch over Raine.

I was sent here
to watch over you.

The promotion is real.

You just had to prove
your dedication.

Did I pass?

Unfortunately, yes.

[squeals]
So? What's the promotion?

Who's under my command?
What do I get?

You get...

to live.

[fireworks explode]

[groans] Come, Kiki,
time to head back.

[muffled scream]

The Emperor says he's looking
forward to meeting you, human.

Until then,
happy Coven Day.

[both sigh]

Amity, Amity!
Amity, you saved me!

How can I make it up to you?

Maybe...
you can tell me about this.

[gasps]

Don't worry.
I haven't watched it.

But...
you did finish the portal door.

You did see your mom.

And it looks like
it didn't go well.

I'm sorry.

I know this situation
is crazy,

and I'm okay taking things
one day at a time.

But I can't help
if I don't know what's going on.

You just looked so hopeful.
You were even learning Spanish.

And I thought if I helped out Kikimora,
maybe there'd be hope for me.

Tell me what happened.

Okay. So,
I had finished the door.

But it didn't look
like the normal portal.

I must have missed something.

We opened it and...

[giggling]

[crowd cheering]

Um, thank you, Bonesborough,

for joining us during
this year's Coven Day Parade.

This year is extra special

because the Emperor himself
has an announcement to make.

[cheers, whistles]

Thank you, everyone.

Together we are
perfecting the Coven System as the Titan intended.

The Day of Unity
will be in exactly one month,

when the tide is
at its lowest and the moon obscures the sun.

At that time, we will journey
to the head of the isles,

and there, the worthy
shall inherit a utopia

free of wild magic.

[everybody gasps]

Free of wild magic?
How's he supposed to do that?

There is one more thing
I'd like to share with you.

I've always hidden my face,
out of fear.

But because of your support,
I can finally take off this mask.

[spits] So phony.

He's trying to distract us
from his crazy utopia talk!

Too bad it won't work.

[crowd gasps]

Thank you, Boiling Isles.

- [cheering]
- We love you!

[gasping]

Eh.

Happy Coven Day, everyone.

[crowd] Belos! Belos!

Is... Belos planning something?

And why did he say
he's going to meet you again?

Didn't you already meet?
What else don't I know? What's gonna happen?

I... I'm not sure.
But for now...

we'll take things
one day at a time.

Belos! Belos!
