Two days later.

Gus questions. "This is gonna work out after all."

Willow adds. This isn't gonna work out at all.

Gus: Well, I feel like I took care of any potential problems.

Willow: "You lied to our best friend and told her you got the ban lifted. That seems like a potential problem to me."

Gus: "You don't understand. The members were going mad. They were bloodthirsty. They were touching objects. I had no choice!"

Willow crossing her harms. "Really? What about all the wanted posters around school?"

Gus replies. What wanted posters? I also got this. To keep her undercover.

Luz shows up behind them. Undercover from what?

Gus explains. Behold your new outfit for today!

Luz gasps. Whoa. I love it. [sniffs the clothes) On the Boiling Isles new things smell old.

Gus asked. Yep. Put it on. Remember Hide your ears. [chuckles] Wanna keep you under wraps 'till the big reveal.

Luz loving the idea. "Oh, a showman. I totally get it. You bring the razzle, I'll bring the dazzle."

[screaming]
Gus: That's my alarm. Uh, we better get going. See you after school, Willow.
Luz waves willow goodbye. "Bye, friend. Be safe. Make good choices."

Willow Sighs watching them leave. "Oh, Gus. I hope you know what you're doing."

Eda watching the children leave. "I'm trying to protect her. Hexside chews up anything unique and spits out bland mush."

[insects buzzing around and Hooty eating them )

Hooty: I chew insects. I turn them into mush.

Eda sipping from her mug of apple blood. But that's my beef. Does she need to draw her own conclusions?

Hooty: My beef is insects. They're what I eat.

Eda: You're just gonna be unhelpful, huh?

Hooty: All I know is, you taught me and I turned out just fine. [gagging out worms )

Eda sighs before walking away. "I gotta get that girl into school."

Meanwhile at school.

Mattholomule bumps into gus. "Augustus, you should really watch where you going. Don't want the president of the H. A. S. getting hurt on his last day in office. This must be your human. Hmm. Looks like another witchling to me."

Gus: Psst. Psst! Dazzle.
Luz: Oh. [throws of her hat) Ta‐da!
Mattholomule: [gasps] A human!

Gus replies. Not just any human. An expert human.
Luz adds. Yeah. I've been doing this for years.

Gus replies before walking away. She's here to look at your treasures. See you at the meeting.

Mattholomule says to himself. Oh, no, no, no, no! They can't know I lied. Then they'll never make me president.

Meanwhile with eda enrolling her chick in school.

Eda nervously sits down. "Been quite a while since I've sat here, huh? I gotta admit it's extra weird without you yelling at me for picking fights or stealing."

Bump glares. "I can easily change that. What exactly are you doing here, Edalyn?"

Eda takes a long breath. "I want to‐‐ Prft! I want to enroll my d— i mean human, Luz, at Hexside. And before you get all judgy‐‐
