[Open on the Owl House living room, where Eda and Owlbert are playing a card game with Luz, Y/n, and King 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. Hexes Hold'em is the most tricky game on the Boiling Isles. Any proper witch knows how to play.

Luz: Oh boy, cards! The paper rectangles that old people think are fun!

[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.] 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?

Y/n: Oh nothing, except the fact it's YOUR CURSE.

[Eda yelps. She tries to find her elixirs but she is all out of them. The four of them go to the market to go and get more. Cut to the Bonesborough market, where Eda bangs on a metal grate.]

Eda: Hey, open up, Morton!

Morton: Uh, ju—... just a minute!

[King leaves Eda's side to sit next to Luz and Y/n on a bench.]

King: Do you always have to bring your sword?

Y/n: Dude, are you serious? [Gives a little smile as he pets King.]

King: Hehe... yeah never-mind. That was a dumb question.

Luz: Is there anything better than people watching in the Boiling Isles? [She continues to watch the citizens go through their daily life. Suddenly they hear loud footsteps.  A witch waves his hand, and a cart with a large demon on it follows him. Luz walks up to Eda.] Whoa, that is one ominous parade.

Eda: That's no parade. Those are demon hunters.

[The demon growls and bucks. The two demon hunters pushing the cart pull its ropes to pin it back down. It tries to bite at the first demon hunter.]

Eda: Dangerous nomads who capture and sell the most powerful beasts.

Y/n: [Walks to Luz and Eda with King sitting on his shoulders.] That sounds interesting and familiar.

[The first demon hunter traces a spell circle, creating lightning in his hand. He grunts as he shocks the demon unconscious. He turns and looks at Luz and Y/n. Luz gasps and Y/n avoids eye contact as much as possible while putting down King next to Eda.]

Eda: Well I'm about to become a beast, if you don't open up, Morton! [Continues knocking on the grate.]
