Season #1 Episode #6: Hooty's Moving Hassle

---

[She runs to get Eda. Cut back to her and Morton.]

Morton:
I've got bad news and good news. Bad news is I'm all out 'till next week. Good news is feathers are a good look for you.

[A feather grows out of her hair.]

Eda:
Morton!

[That feather and several others flutter to the ground as she stalks forward.]

Morton:
Well gee, E. Why'd you wait to re-up 'till now?

Eda:
I've been very busy.

King:
[from the bench] Yeah, busy playing Hexes Hold'em. She's obsessed with it.

Eda:
I am not obsessed!

King:
You're playing it right now!

[Several cards are now splayed out on the counter, and Eda has one in hand.]

Eda:
...Am I winning?

Morton:
You know, I wouldn't suggest this to just anybody, but if you need your elixir you can try your luck later this evening.

Eda:
In the night market?

Morton:
There's a guy with a stand, goes by Grimm Hammer; if anyone has what you need, it's him.

Luz:
Eda, Gus and Willow and I are gonna do a moonlight conjuring and stick it to Amity. So can we--

Eda:
[grabs her staff and starts walking] Not tonight, I'm going out. I need you to watch the house, I have many precious objects in there.

King:
Like me! Whoa!

Eda:
[picks King up by his collar] You're coming with me. I need an extra pair of eyes looking out for pickpockets, and an extra pair of hands in case I want to pickpocket.

Eda & King:
Pickpocket!

Luz:
Then, maybe they can come to the house and--

Eda:
No! Besides, conjurings are dumb; sitting in a circle holding hands. Pft. It's like magic for babies. [walks away]

Luz:
But--

[Willow and Gus run up.]

Willow:
Luz! What did Eda say?

Luz:
So...guys...

Gus:
Oh, look! [points upwards] The moon is rising into place. And the celestial powers only align once a year.

Willow:
Oh, I can't believe I finally have enough friends for a moonlight conjuring! Thank you, Luz! Did Eda say it was okay?

Luz:
Uhm...yes. She said yes. We can do it at the Owl House. As long as we don't make a mess or touch anything and never bring up that we did it! [nervous laugh]

Gus:
Yes!

Willow:
Oh, you're the best!

Willow & Gus: [singsong] We're gonna do a conjuring! We're gonna do a conjuring! Conjuring! Conjuring!

[Luz looks at the moon nervously.]

[Cut to the Owl House that night, where crickets are chirping. Luz is sitting on the couch watching Eda.]

Eda:
Luz, you're in charge while I'm out. [puts cloak on] Make sure Hooty doesn't get into any trouble.

Hooty:
[muffled] Hoot hoot! [opens door] I don't need a babysitter. I'm a big boy house!

Luz:
You can count on me; I'd never betray your hard-earned trust. [nervous laugh]

Eda:
You're acting suspicious. You're doing that thing where you hide in your hoodie.
