[King wakes up and finds himself again in the In-Between Realm, overhearing a conversation between Belos and The Collector.]
The Collector: But-- But you said. You said you'd let me out! [Whining.] I hate it here!
Belos: Just a little longer. We have to wait 'till after the Draining Spell.
[King floats over to the source of the voices and watches them from behind a pillar. The Collector is trapped in a mysterious floating orb, while Belos is speaking from a small round piece of glass floating nearby.]
The Collector: [Assertive.] You better not be fibbing. You pinky-swore me.
Emperor Belos: Patience, Collector, you can trust me. [King scoffs at this.]
The Collector: Hm? Who's there?!
[King wakes up in Willow's lap, breathing heavily.]
Willow: [Calmly.] It's okay, King, it's okay.
[King, Willow, Y/N, Alador, Amity, Gus, and Hunter are all aboard the airship from the last episode. Y/N is worriedly pacing back and forth, Gus is inspecting his power amplifier, and three of the gang's palismen are huddled in a shaking pile. Hunter does various adjustments to the airship to help steer it, while he keeps looking at Y/N to make sure she doesn't pace off the ship.]
Alador: [Irritated.] I know how to fly a ship.
Y/N: [Frantic.] Then fly faster! We're barely halfway there.
Amity: [Frantic] And Luz could be in trouble!
Hunter: Maybe if I took the wheel...
Alador: [Suspiciously.] Very eager to return to Belos, eh, Golden Guard?
Hunter: At least I've never built him an army!
Alador: [Angrily.] Watch your tone with me, young man.
[Alador lets go of the steering wheel, causing the ship to tilt and Gus to fall out of his seat.]
Gus: [Annoyed.] Hey, here's a bright idea: don't distract the pilot!
Hunter: He started it!
[Alador, Hunter, Gus, Y/N, and Amity all start yelling at each other angrily. King and Willow watch sadly from the back of the ship.]
King: I can't believe she's gonna face Belos alone. And I'm powerless to help her. We can't even manage to help each other.
[Willow lifts up Clover and nods to her. Clover chirps and flies over to where the other palismen are. The palismen push a box of cheeses, bread, and apples over to the arguing witches, interrupting their fighting. Gus' stomach growls. Flapjack peaks out of Hunter's shirt, and flys over to Y/N to sit on her shoulder.]
Flapjack: Chirp!
Y/N: [sighs, and holds Flapjack in hands] Look, we're all exhausted and terrified. Let's focus our energy on helping Luz instead of fighting each other.
[Everyone nods. They all take a snack from the box. Gus fist bumps Hunter as an apology. Alador then gestures Hunter to steer the wheel with a sincere smile. Y/N walks up to Hunter and puts her head on his shoulder as he steers the ship. To the side, Amity is rubbing her hands together from the cold, but Alador summons Abomination goo to cover her hands. He sits down next to her.]
Amity: Hmm? Aw, this is just like when I was a kid. [Realizes something.] Wait. Is this why you call me "Mittens"? [Alador just smiles at her and eats his bread.]
