[In a flashback taking place thirty years ago, Eda is telling a healer from the Healing Coven what it's like when she is in her beast form, describing it as being chased by a giant owl beast in a shadowy void. The healer gives her a gem that will tell her when the beast's energy is bubbling to the surface. Her mother isn't too happy with this and asks to speak with the healer outside Eda's room. Eda eavesdrops on their conversation; she learns that none of the Healing Coven's members had ever seen such a curse before, and they are uncertain if it can be healed. He suggests that the best they can do is to consult with the Potions Coven and find a way to keep it at bay, but Eda's mother refuses to accept this. She snaps at the healer, saying that she wants Eda's curse fully gone, even demanding that they "cut it out" if they have to. Horrified by this, Eda escapes out her bedroom window. Upon reaching the forest, she discovers the ruins of some building, where she trips over the portal door buried in the dirt; in examining it, the door suddenly activates and opens up. Upon hearing her mother shouting her name, Eda runs through the portal into the Human Realm to escape from her mother. Unable to find Eda, her mother becomes upset, but immediately declares that she will find a cure for her, no matter what it takes.]

[Cut back at the Owl House in the present. An alarm clock is screaming. Eda grabs it and throws it at the wall, destroying it. She gets out from her nest, goes up to her mirror, and screws in her fake gold fang. After that, she shaves feathers off her leg. She then opens a cupboard stocked up with elixirs. She takes one out, drinks it, and blaghs. Back in her room, she puts on a new dress and tears part of the front off.]

Eda: Ah, there we go. Mama like.

Eda: Fuck! [Luz jolts up, cries out, and falls backward.] We ran out of apple blood. [Kicks the fridge door close and turns around.] Still no luck?

Luz: [Gets up.] None. And I was up all night. I read every tome, book, notepad, and tea leaf. [Shows Eda a cup, with the tea leaf forming into a shrugging person.] But nothing explains how to make a portal to the Human Realm.

Eda: I wish I could help ya, kid. My door was already pretty old when I found it.

Luz: How long did you have it?

Eda: Well...

[From somewhere, starts screaming. Eda and Luz gasp. They run to the living room, just in time to see Lilith beginning to turn into her beast form.]

Lilith: Help... me.

[Eda rushes over and takes out a bottle of elixir from beneath a pillow on the couch. She then runs towards Lilith.]

Eda: Calm down, just calm down. [Feeds Lilith the elixir.] The curse acts stronger when you're stressed. [Lilith's feathers disappear.]

Lilith: [Pants.] That was... horrible. How have you managed all these years?

Eda: Well, it's been hard. [Helps Lilith up.] But since we split the curse, at least the elixirs are working again.
