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.
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 (CAMLY): It's okay, King, it's okay.
King, Willow, Alador, Amity, Gus, and Hunter are all aboard the airship from the last episode. Amity is worriedly pacing back and forth, Gus is inspecting his power amplifier, Y/N is meditating with his eyes closed and three of the gang's palismen are huddled in a shaking pile. Hunter makes various adjustments to the airship to help steer it.
ALADOR (IRRITATED): I know how to fly a ship.
AMITY (FRANTIC): Then fly faster! We're barely halfway there. Luz could be in trouble!
HUNTER: Maybe if I took the wheel...
ALADOR (SUSPICIOUS): 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, 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.
Y/N (STILL MEDITATING): Everyone's just a little on edge worrying about Luz and the Draining Spell.
WILLOW: You seem calm.
Y/N: I need to be if I have to face Belos.
KING: And the reason why you let Pyra fly off ahead?
Y/N: Thanks to the spell from Grandpa's journal, I can see what she sees. And once she has her sight set on Luz and Belos, I'll create a portal and launch a sneak attack on Belos.
Y/N's stomach growl.
Y/N: Though my portals are more accurate with a full stomach.
Willow lifts 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. Y/N began sniffing. Gus' stomach growls.
GHOST: Meow!
AMITY: Look, we're all exhausted and terrified. Let's focus our energy on helping Luz instead of fighting each other.
