However, as a result we got the most wholesome confession scene possible with Amity asking Luz out before Luz gets the chance to say anything, and the two of them holding hands which they think is still scary despite the fact that they are now dating. Hooty sends Amity and Luz through a tunnel of love to try to set them up together once he realizes how much Luz is agonizing over her feelings for Amity, much to Luz’s embarrassment. This episode gives us the gifts that are canon Lumity, as well as Eda’s Harpy transformation. This episode begins with Hooty ( Alex Hirsch), who is writing a letter to Lilith ( Cissy Jones) about all he has been doing in the last week, has decided he wants to be helpful to the other inhabitants of the Owl House as they deal with their individual problems of self discovery (to varying levels of success). Everything from the emotional character growth from Eda, to the gorgeous spell animation when she and Raine team up makes this episode stand out from every other one before it. Raine makes an excellent partner for Eda as just in this one episode alone we have seen how much trust exists between the two and the power they bring out in one another. While Eda has always cared in her own way, this is the first episode where we truly get to see the impact that Luz and King have had on her daily life and the impact their eventual leaving will have on Eda.Īlongside all this, this episode also introduces us to Raine Whispers and their previous relationship with Eda. Eda absolutely shines in this episode, and viewers truly get to see how much she has grown and developed emotionally through her connection with Luz. In this episode, Eda ( Wendy Malick) comes to the realization that eventually Luz and King ( Alex Hirsch) will have to leave her, and as she sulks about this in town she comes across a rebel group called the “Bards Against The Throne” (or B.A.T.T) lead by her old partner Raine Whispers ( Avi Roque), the current head of the Bard Coven.
Overall the episode presents an introspective character-driven conflict that aims to analyze the complex and murky nature of the past, tonally setting it apart from previous episodes. Seeing Amity have to acknowledge how she hurt Willow in the past, while simultaneously seeing the physical manifestation of that hurt from Willow’s perspective, presents a new side to Amity that explains her mean-girl persona and why she acted the way she did earlier in the Season. The episode presents an interesting visual representation of how the brain protects itself from trauma through the use of Willow’s inner mind, which looks like a raging flame whose only goal is to protect Willow from the hurt within these memories. After Amity accidentally burns Willow’s memories, she and Luz ( Sarah Nicole-Robles) must travel through Willow’s mind to fix the details lost in the flames to restore her to who she was, and in the process Amity must face the emotional damage she caused within Willow. While this is a Willow ( Tati Gabrielle) focused episode, the story takes a specific focus on the previous relationship between Amity ( Mae Whitman) and Willow, and the guilt Amity feels about the dissolving of their friendship.
