[Open on the Owl House exterior. Cut to a video recording of King's eye.]

Luz:
[voiceover] And here we have the most fearsome creature in the world, the King of Demons.

[The video zooms out to show King trying to tear a sock off his nose.]

Luz:
Facing his natural enemy, the ducky sock!

King:
[grunting, tears the sock into pieces, then punches the remnants] Where are you now, ducky sock?

Luz:
So, why'd you call me here again?

King:
Oh, yeah. [grunting, climbs up a table] Human Luz, you've been so obsessed with witchcraft that you haven't learned anything about my kind. Prepare yourself for... [rips off a curtain to reveal a corkboard of photos of various demons; puts on a hat and spins the cord on top of it] Demons 101. Demons like me are grim tricksters of the twilight, creatures of sulfur and bone.

Luz:
[zooming in with her camera] And cute little paws.

King:
[sighs] And cute little paws. True. We live only to create chaos and misery. Our only weaknesses are purified water and passive‐aggressive comments. Sometimes.

Luz:
Oh, you guys are sensitive.

King:
Even demons have inner demons. [tears off one of the pictures to reveal a snarling demon] The most powerful demon of all is the Snaggleback. He's a‐‐

Luz:
Bad boy!

[A colored filter appears over the screen, followed by several stickers. Luz aims her phone down and taps on her screen.]

King:
Luz, pay attention. This information could save your life someday.

Luz:
No, no. I am so paying attention. This is my paying attention face. [nodding] Mm‐hmm, mm‐hmm, mm‐hmm.

[Lightning crashes, immediately followed by a thunder rumble. Luz and King look outside.]

King:
Uh‐oh. Looks like it's gonna rain.

Luz:
[gasps] I love the rain.

King:
Hey, wait.

Luz:
[opens the door, exhales] I always love feeling the first few drops in my hair. [kneels down to talk to a flower] I bet you do too, little buddy.

[A water drop drops down to the flower, making it wither and die immediately.]

Luz:
What?

Eda:
[runs to the house] Boiling rain! Everybody inside now!

Luz:
Huh? [yelps]

[Eda grabs her arm and drags the both of them inside. Objects crash and clatter.]

Eda:
Phew! That was close. But the important thing is you didn't get hurt.

Luz:
[lying painfully] Yep. [groans as a cup falls on her head] Not hurt.

[THEME]

[Cut to Boonesborough, where residents are screaming and running from the boiling rain. Buildings attached to the side of a cliff fall off. Cut to Willow's house, where she takes plants off of a balcony.]

Willow:
Ow, ow, ow, ow.

[She drags a curtain closed with her teeth. Cut to an alleyway, where Tiny Nose is running.]

Tiny Nose:
[shrieking]

[She ducks into a crack in a wall, which she tosses a rat out of.]

Tiny Nose:
[hisses]

[Cut to the outside of the Owl House, where King is putting a bandage on a burn on Luz's arm. He puts another bandage on his snout.]

King:
Look, now we're boo‐boo buddies.

Luz:
[squeals] Oh, my gosh, I love you so much. [looks at Eda, who is doing a spell] A boiling rainstorm on the Boiling Isles. The weather here is so fun.

Eda:
Yeah, we don't have weather. We have plagues, gorenados, shale hail, painbows.

King:
It's like a rainbow but looking at it turns you inside out.

[Luz pulls the drawstrings of her hoodie closed.]

Eda:
So, until the boiling rain stops, no one is allowed outside tonight.

King:
And if the rain doesn't get you, the Snaggleback will. [opens a book, showing Snaggleback images] They wander the rain, feeding on boiled tourists.

Eda:
Well, whatever the case, this force field spell should protect the house from boiling rains and made‐up demons.

Hooty:
Hoot! Well, hurry it up with that force field. That rain is getting closer to my precious stucco.

Eda:
Yeah, yeah, I got it.

[Uses her staff to grab the light ball and stamps the staff down to the ground. A round orange force field engulfs the house, then shrinks to shape closely around it. Eda begins walking toward the house.]

Luz:
Wow! Someday I'd like to be as cool as Eda the Owl Lady. Magical, sassy, surprisingly foxy for her age. Hey, why do they call you the Owl Lady, anyway?

Eda:
'Cause I'm so wise.

Hooty:
'Cause she coughs up rat bones.

King:
I think it's 'cause she gets distracted by shiny objects.

Eda:
No, I don't.

[King takes out a pen. He clicks it, and the diamond on top it glows.]

Eda:
[delightedly] It sparkles and shimmers. It shines and delights. I must have it for my nest...

[She lunges for the pen, but King puts it behind his back and she crashes on the ground.]

Eda:
[groans]

Luz:
You have a nest? I want a nest! Nest party! [helps Eda up]

Eda:
[tiredly] Ugh. That force field really took it out of me.

King:
Uh‐oh. Moving a little slow. Age finally catching up to ya? [screams as Eda hoods his head with the hat] Darkness!

Luz:
[watching Eda enter the house] This is perfect. Since we'll be stuck in the house all night, Eda won't have any excuse not to teach me a spell. [follows Eda]

King:
But don't you wanna finish our lesson? I was gonna let you scratch a demon's tummy. Me!

Luz:
Oh, uh, sorry, King. But... magic.

[King is visibly frustrated. His horn pierces his hat, making it deflate. Cut to Eda walking behind a privacy screen. She snaps her fingers, causing a glow of light as she drops her staff. When she emerges from the other side, she's in her pajamas. She sighs as she lies down on the couch. Luz's shadow falls over her.]
