[Outside the Owl House, Luz, her echo mouse, and King are trying new glyph combinations. The first one shown is of a small whirlwind, the second one is a water fountain, the third one is a petrification  glyph that turns the toy on top of it into stone, and Luz is then shown drawing a fourth glyph. Lena is reading a book about wild magic and chatting with Hunter through Penstagram.]

Lena: Hmm. Okay. Are you getting this?

Hunter: Yes. 

Luz: [Finishes drawing the glyph.] Alright, maybe it's this one!

[She activates the glyph, and a sprouts from it. Luz, upon seeing it, screams in surprise and backs up. Eda instantly bursts through the door, with her staff in hand, and destroys the claw, which turns into goo which splatters Owlbert, King, Luz, and Lena.]

Luz: Safe! [Both her and King wipe the goo off their faces.] Thanks, Eda. [Grabs her notepad and a pencil.] That was.. definitely not the one. [Crosses out the glyph on her notepad and labeling "NO" next to it. Lena was disgusted.]

Lena: Hunter, I'm gonna have to call you back later.

Hunter: Okay. 

Lena: Thank you. TTYL.

Hunter: What does that mean?

Lena: Talk to you later.

Hunter: Oh.

[They ended their chat.]

Lena: Luz! I was in the middle of something here!

Luz: Sorry.

[Eda picks up the petrified miniature toy and it crumbles.]

Eda: Eugh. [Shivers.] What are you doing out here?

Luz: I started going through Philip Wittebane's diary again. Since our trip with Lilith, I found out that a lot of his margin doodles were actually unfinished glyph combos. [Sighs and looks down dejectedly.] I thought maybe they could help with the portal door but... [The claw rises again but is swallowed by Hooty.] no luck.

Eda: Maybe it's for the best. I don't like that you're still thinking about that creep.

Luz: [Sighs.] I know. [Curls up and pulls her hood up.] I just miss our mom. [King looks at Eda and points at Luz and Lena.]

Lena: I was having a Penstagram chat with Hunter.

Eda: Why?

Lena: We were studying wild magic.

Eda: [Kneels down.] Let's take a break, huh? [No response from Luz but Lena nodded.] Maybe... I could tell you... a story? [Luz instantly approaches Eda's face with a look of curiousness.]

Lena: We're listening.

Luz: [Excitedly.] Like a backstory kind of story?

Eda: Yes. [Luz sits excitedly with King in her arms, him holding her echo mouse and Hooty circles around them.]

Lena: You could say that.

Hooty: Hoooooot!

Eda: This is the story of how I met the coolest, baddest, kick-buttiest witch of all time: Raine Whispers.

-Theme Song, but it is cut short and only shows the show's title.-

[Cut to Young Eda holding a pack of flashcards in her hands; the first one says, "Things abominations probably shouldn't do." The second card says: " The Titan's five humors"]
