[The scene opens on a checklist looking over in her room. It reads, "New coat for Luz", "Find new dress for Lena", "Check itchy boy", "Pay water bill", "Clean Hooty(?)" and "Burn old dress".]

Eda: Luz needs a new coat. Lena needs a new dress. King needs to be checked for fleas. Am I missing anything? [Looks at her reflection.] Oh, you've changed, Owl Lady. [Takes a photo of her with her apprentices and friend at and looks at it.] It's worth it.

Lena: And......GO!

Luz: [Outside.] And three, and four, and five, and six, and seven, and eight, and nine, and ten!

King: [Simultaneously.] And weh, and weh, and weh, and weh, and weh, and weh, and weh, and weh!

[Eda opens her window and smiles as she looks down and sees Luz and King doing pull-ups on her staff in midair.]

Luz: Alright, King. What's the first thing you're going to do when you meet your dad?

King: And ten thousand! Well, once we're done training, I'm gonna move out of that closet, that's for sure. Then, I'm going to ugly cry. Hard!

Luz: Whoa!

Lena: Have you told Eda about your decision to le—?

King: Shh!

[They hear a noise and looks up. Eda's window is closed. The witch herself is crouching under the window frame.]

King: [Outside.] I—I'm not ready yet. I'm not sure how she'll react.

Eda: [Sighs.] Everyone's leaving, huh? Even King. I guess I'm no substitute for the real thing.

[Eda opens her trunk to place the photo in and spots a lute with a raincloud and bolt carved into it. She puts the photo in her hair and picks the lute up.]

Eda: Welp, nothing like a good distraction.

[Eda starts playing a song which we later come to know as "Raine's Rhapsody" and everything around her starts to float.]

Eda: [Gasps.] Has my magic returned?

[Stops playing: everything falls down.]

Eda: Oh, guess not. Stupid curse.

[Eda puts the lute back in the trunk and returns to her list. Behind her, a plant starts to turn black and corrode.]

-Theme Song-

[Luz, Lena, and King are standing on the edge of a cliff, Eda's staff in Luz's hand and Amara in Lena's hands. They fall and fly over the water, maneuvering past several rocks then flying so the sun obscures them. Back with Eda, she's dressed for the day and moved to the living room with her scroll showing the news.]

Announcer: And we're back live at the emperor's castle! In light of Scooter Crane's retirement, today's ceremony will confirm Raine Whispers as the next head of the Bard Coven.

Raine: Do I have to be on camera?

Darius: For Titan's sake, just say something.

Raine: [Pulls down hood, faces the camera.] Uh, I am honored to work with Emperor Belos in preparation for the Day of Uni-bee. Uh, I mean, Uni-ly! I mean, uh—oh no, this is going all wrong. Get me outta here! [Runs off.]

Darius: Just cut the feed.

Eda: [Mockingly.] How are you supposed to be Head Bard with stage fright?
