[Open in the Emperor's Castle, where Belos has completely rebuilt the portal. He has an Abomaton inject a green substance into the door lock before using a pieced-together key to open it. However, the key is instantly vaporized. Nearby, Hunter observes the test when his read cardinal palisman flies by and chirps.]
Hunter: [Quietly and gently swats the bird away.] Shoo!
Emperor Belos: Would you like to see how it works, Hunter?
[Hunter gasps and hides his palisman, who turned into his wood form, in his cloak before approaching.]
Hunter: I didn't mean to hide, Emperor Belos.
[Belos turns around, his maskless face is revealed to have a green scar.]
Emperor Belos: We found every piece of the door. But without the power of the real key, it refuses to open.
Hunter: [Curious.] Is it true that rain doesn't boil in the human realm?
Emperor Belos: It is. You know, I've been there before. Did I ever tell you that? [Hunter shakes his head.] The trees there are green. Nights are quiet. I look forward to seeing it again. Were you spying on me just to hear these boring stories?
Hunter: The operation at the Knee, why did you switch me out with Kikimora?
Emperor Belos: Everyone has a use, Hunter. Kikimora has her intricate little plans. The scouts carry out orders. And you, well, the Titan has big plans for you, and it would be such a hassle to find a replacement. So, right now, you can be useful by staying safe in the castle. [Belos escorts Hunter out of the room.]
Hunter: If this is punishment for failing my last mission, I swear I can do better.
Emperor Belos: Goodnight, Hunter. [Closes door.][Unsatisfied, Hunter turns and runs off.]
[Cut to the Owl House. Amity is walking down a hall holding a clipboard.]
Amity: Hooty, what's your status?
Hooty: [Breaks through a window.] The perimeter's secured. Nothing's getting past me.
Amity: Good. [Walks off.] Clean up that mess.
Hooty: Ma'am. [Hooty sweeps the broken window pieces away with his neck.]
[In the kitchen Willow, accompanied by Clover (her palisman), places bags down on the table.]
Amity: Willow, have you gathered the supplies?
Willow: [Salutes.] Yes, we are ready to attack this on all fronts.
Amity: [Gives a thumbs up.] Excellent. [A white cat comes up to her, leaving a dead spider at her feet.] Aw, Ghost. Did you help too? [Gives Ghost a chin scratch.] Who's a good palisman? Great, now all we need is—
