[Open on The Owl House living room, where and are playing a card game with and 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 . Any proper witch knows how to play.

Luz: Oh boy, cards! The paper rectangles that old people think are fun! [looks at Y/N]

Y/N: Hey! I'm only two years older than you!

[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]

Luz: 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.

Y/N: 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.

Luz and Y/N: Eda!

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

Luz and Y/N: Market! [stands and starts to leave]

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