Open on the Owl House living room 

Eda and Owlbert are playing a card game with Luz, King, and Y/N watching. Eda shuffles her hand, and the eyes on the cards look up at her. Owlbert, wearing a green visor, narrows his eyes and hoots.

EDA:  Watch closely, Luz and Y/N. Hexes Hold'em is the most tricky game on the Boiling Isles. Any proper witch knows how to play.

LUZ: Oh boy, cards! The paper rectangles that old people think are fun!

Y/N: Or people who are into trading card games.

Eda puts a card down on the table. Lightning comes from the cards, sending Owlbert flying for cover behind the side of the table. The cards all stand and roar. Owlbert's surge forward and attack Eda's, making Owlbert smirk.

EDA: Now when it looks like the deck is stacked against you, that's when you break out the wildcard.

She holds up a card with a tower on it. It glows green, and Owlbert's cards disappear in a flash of fire. Fiery letters spelling out "WINNER: EDA" appear and disappear over the table. Owlbert hops back on and hoots at Eda, his wings extended.

EDA: Woo, I win! In your adorable owl face. Ah, I love the feeling of victory; it feels... fluffy?

Feathers are growing from Eda's arms.

Y/N: Uh-oh.

LUZ: Uh, Eda? It's happening again!

EDA: What's happening again?

KING: Your curse is returning!

Eda yelps.

Cut to the inside of a chest as Eda opens it, Luz on one side, King on the other, and Y/N next to Luz.

EDA: Oh, boy.

All of the bottles in the chest are empty.

EDA: This is terrible. I'm out of elixir.

LUZ: Uh, last time this happened, you turned into this thing.

Luz holds up her phone, a picture of the Owl Beast on screen.

EDA: I know I should be repulsed, but that look is fierce.

LUZ: Eda!

Y/N: Yeah, so fierce that you almost shredded and eaten us.

EDA: You're right, you're right. We need to head to the market.

LUZ: Market!

Luz stands and starts to leave. King and Y/N follow her.

KING: I'm stealing everything that's not nailed down!

Y/N: There might be something good to eat there.

EDA: Before we go, would anyone like to play one more hand of Hexes Hold'em?

Eda pats her pocket.

EDA: Hey, where are my cards?

Luz handed the deck to Owlbert.

LUZ: Take these and fly ahead. She'll have to follow us.

Olwbert did just that.

EDA: Owlbert, you sore loser, gimme back my cards!
