[Open on the Owl House living room, where Eda and Owlbert are playing a card game with Luz and King watching. Eda shuffles her hand, and the eyes on the cards look up at her. Owlbert, wearing a green visor, narrows his eyes and hoots.]

Eda: Watch closely, Kids. Hexes Hold'em is the most tricky game on the Boiling Isles. Any proper witch knows how to play.

Luz: Oh boy, cards! The paper rectangles that old people think are fun!

[Eda puts a card down on the table. Lightning comes from the cards, sending Owlbert flying for cover behind the side of the table. The cards all stand and roar. Owlbert's surge forward and attack Eda's, making Owlbert smirk.]

Eda: Now when it looks like the deck is stacked against you, that's when you break out the wildcard.

[She holds up a card with a tower on it. It glows green, and Owlbert's cards disappear in a flash of fire. Fiery letter spelling out "WINNER: EDA" appear and disappear over the table. Owlbert hops back on and hoots at Eda, his wings extended.]

Eda: Woo, I win! In your adorable owl face. Ah, I love the feeling of victory; it feels...fluffy? [feathers are growing from her arms]

Y/N: Uh, Eda? It's happening again!

Eda: What's happening again?

King: Your curse is returning!

Eda: [yelps]

[Cut to the inside of a chest as Eda opens it, Luz on one side and King on the other.]

Eda: Oh, boy.

[All of the bottles in the chest are empty.]

Eda: This is terrible. I'm out of elixir.

Luz: Uh, last time this happened, you turned into this thing. [holds up her phone, a picture of the Owl Beast on screen]

Eda: I know I should be repulsed, but that look is fierce.

Y/N: Eda, please take this seriously 

Eda: You're right, you're right. We need to head to the market.

Luz: Market! [stands and starts to leave]

King: [follows her] I'm stealing everything that's not nailed down!

Eda: Before we go, would anyone like to play one more hand of Hexes Hold'em? [pats her pocket] Hey, where are my cards?

Luz: [handing the deck to Owlbert] Take these and fly ahead. She'll have to follow us.

[He does.]

Eda: [running after him] Owlbert, you sore loser, gimme back my cards!

[Cut to the Bonesborough sky line as a winged demon flies past. Cut to the market, where Eda bangs on a metal grate.]

Eda: Hey, open up, Morton!

Morton: Uh, ju--...just a minute!

[King leaves Eda's side to sit next to Luz on a bench.]

Luz: Is there anything better than people watching in the Demon Realm?

[Three witches are standing at a bus stop as a giant egg rolls up to it. The egg cracks, revealing a featherless bird that screeches. It flies away. The witches enter the egg, one of them closes it, and it rolls off as Tiny Nose runs up.]

Tiny Nose: Wait, wait! Aw, dang it.

Y/N: The curse of tiny legs.

King: I know the pain.

[Loud footsteps.]

Tiny Nose: [screams and runs]

[A witch waves his hand, and a cart with a large demon on it follows him. You and Luz walks up to Eda.]
