Season #1 Episode #3: I Was a Teenage Abomination

---

[Luz flinches as she watches. Wind blows leaves around Willow as she rants.]

Willow:
I hate making abominations. I hate getting bad grades. Ugh! I can't stand this anymore. [shouts, her eyes glowing green]

Luz:
[gasps]

[The flower from earlier gets lost among giant thorny roots that burst out around it. They surround Willow, glowing and writhing angrily. One snakes out and grabs Luz by the ankle.]

Luz:
[screams]

[The root drops Luz on the ground a bit behind Willow, who turns and glares at her, her eyes still glowing. Cut back to the beach, where Eda is tying a sack to her staff as King watches.]

Eda:
Not a bad haul. That oviduct was loaded.

King:
Ah. Lose apprentice, gain garbage eggs. Fair trade.

Eda:
[scoffs] I didn't lose anything.

King:
If you don't teach Luz right, you will. And that's when I come in, make her my apprentice.

Eda:
Ha! And what would you teach? How to get stuck in the arm of a sweater?

King:
Hey, that only happened once! I'd teach her about demons. How to identify them, talk to 'em, raise an army with them and tear apart the world!

Eda:
After they tear you out of the sweater arm, right?

King:
You think you're so smart! Well, [hops off the trash he's sitting on toward Eda] why don't we make a little bet where I can prove that I'd make a better teacher.

Eda:
Okay. [reaches into her hair] I'm obligated to remind you that I only use our bets to utterly humiliate you. [pulls out a book called "Eda + King One Sided Wagers"] And... [opens it] that you've never won.

King:
I like those odds.

Eda:
So how's this? [grabs an egg] Teach this trash slug to be your loyal soldier in one day. Prove that you can be a better teacher than me, and Luz is all yours. But if you don't, I change your name from King to... Mr. Wiggles.

King:
Well, when you lose, you'll have to... wear a shame hat and sleep in a shack and never come into the Owl House again! Ha!

Eda:
Deal.

King:
[squeaks as he stamps his paw to a page]

[Eda tosses the egg at King's head, breaking it and leaving a baby trash slug between his horns. It slips down his skull, but King catches it. It coos at him.]

Eda:
[walking away] Ha ha!

[Cut back to the forest, where Luz is watching in awe as the roots are still writing around Willow. She finally seems to snap out of it, leaning forward worriedly and letting the roots fall.]

Willow:
Oh, no, no, no, no, no! I'm so sorry! [makes the roots still wrapped around Luz's legs retreat]

Luz:
It's okay. The thorns only went through a few layers of skin.

[Willow gets very close to Luz, forcing her to lean back a bit.]

Willow:
So... circly.

Luz:
[squeals and covers her ears]

Willow:
[gasps] You're human! This is astounding! [gasps and grabs Luz's face, then helps her stand and walks around her] A human on the Boiling Isles! How'd you get here? What are you doing here?
