Bella and the Deciphers arrived in Corona. They explained their situation to Eda and King back in the Owl House. They also told Willow and Gus, who went to hang out with their friend.

"So you're telling me, that Bella's dad, the one eyed beast who knows all, is back and he's going to start something known as the Weirdmageddon?" Eda was quite puzzled and made sure she heard Luz correctly, who went through the trouble of explaining everything.

"And Cassandra is helping him do it," Luz added. "And in order to prevent it, we have to find seven objects."

"Cassandra already claimed three, Tessa already has one, so there's three objects left to claim before Cassandra does," Bella explained.

"Alright, I get the issue, but why do you want to stop weirdness?" Eda questioned. "What's wrong with a few screaming heads, talking water towers, and bubbles of pure madness?"

"The Weirdmageddon is more dangerous than it sounds," Bella corrected the Owl Lady. "The amount of weirdness puts the world off balance, eventually destroying it and leaving my dad to find new planets or dimensions to destroy as well."

"Well, even if you do find the last remaining artifacts, where are you gonna hide them?" Eda questioned. "Wouldn't take long for Cass to find them. And what are you gonna do about the other artifacts, the ones Cassandra and Tessa already claimed?"

"We're gonna talk to Tessa and try to convince her to give it up," Bella answered. "As for the other artifacts, I'm sure that without the rest of them, they're pretty useless. Though, it wouldn't hurt to keep an close eye out."

"Well, from what I heard, the kid won't rest until Cassandra is dead," Eda said. "She's a lost cause."

"No, she isn't, Eda," Bella defended. "Tessa is just hurt and lost."

"You said the same thing about Cassandra," Uzi said, causing Bella to glare at her.

"Uzi, that's not helping," she told her.

"Well, it's not my fault that Cassandra is a monster who likes to take her anger out on others that had nothing to do with Gothel or the Ohannas overshadowing," Uzi spat. "All Tessa cares about is revenge and I'm pretty sure she's not gonna hurt others on the way."

Bella sighed. "Uzi, I get that you don't like Cassandra, I get it, she hurts people, and I understand that," Bella told Uzi. "She hurt a lot of people, even people we care about. But you have to understand that is still the Cassandra that used to be part of the Ohannas. You have to understand that she used to be their family, and you know their motto."

"I bet you wouldn't have so much faith in Cassandra if she, oh, I don't know, murdered some people you cared about, maybe Twilight Sparkle," Uzi added. "Then maybe you'd see how much of a monster she is."

Bella was silent. She thought for a moment. She imagined it. Twilight. Finding her dead lifeless body in the throne room. Pooling with wet blood. Red blood that sent chills down Bella's spine. With black rocks sprouting out of the ground around her. With Cassandra appearing in front of her.

Bella snapped out of it and shook her head. Cassandra wouldn't do that, would she? I mean, Twilight didn't do anything to her. Uzi was messing with her head. She knew it. Uzi was used to seeing murders, but Bella...Bella never witnessed a murder. And she didn't want to.

"Cassandra wouldn't do that," Bella denied.

"Oh, you sure?" Uzi asked before reminding her. "She did try to kill you twice."

Bella flashed back to the two encounters. The incident in which Cassandra pushed her through the portal door and attempted to kill her, even after finding out she was a demon, and back at the tower, when Cassandra fought her and Rapunzel. She tried to crush them both with the black rocks and after she caged her, Cassandra said that after she kills Rapunzel, she was gonna make Bella's death more slow and painful.
