GC13, Soren, and David discuss Thanks to Them, from The Owl House.

This is how the end begins: with Luz and Hunter going through some stuff, and Belos continuing to focus entirely on the murderous task he assigned to himself those centuries ago.

We learned a lot about Caleb and Philip, about the town of Gravesfield, and maybe even a bit about the Clawthorne family as well… But now it’s time to return to the Boiling Isles. There are friends to save, and a story to end.

GC13 and Soren discuss Hunting Palismen from The Owl House.

And no, we Thanks to Them hadn’t aired when we recorded this. But yes, we have watched the episode now.

On its own merits though, Hunting Palismen is a great episode. It’s a proper introduction to Hunter, we get to see a scheme from Kikimora, a wonderful usage of wild magic, and a crazy dragon you’d only find on the Boiling Isles. The only thing the episode is missing is a pet shop with a password.

Wait…

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Through the Looking Glass Ruins from The Owl House.

It’s a Gus-focus episode, but Luz and Amity still find a way to steal the show with their trek through the Forbidden Stacks. Their unnecessary trip; communication is key to any relationship, including your relationship with your boss.

But when Gus turns on the illusions, he’s playing for keeps. Willow isn’t the only prodigy of a witch Luz hangs around with.

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Keeping Up A-Fearances from The Owl House.

So, yeah, there’s no nice way to say this: Eda’s mother has been taken in by a con artist. At least they get what’s coming to them in the end.

But despite all that ugliness, this episode also does a lot to move the story along: Gwen tells Luz about Phillip Wittebane, and we find out that not only has Camila been receiving letters from camp, she’s brought home another Luz! Oh my, what will they think of next?

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Young Blood, Old Souls from The Owl House.

It took a long time to get here, but we finally made it: the finale of the first season. And while everything is appropriately epic, the second season has just left it in the dust. The revelations of the first season are just outclassed by the revelation of the second season.

Still, it’s great to look back and see the groundwork being done. For us to know Belos’s plan, we needed to meet him first. And that we did. That we did…

GC13 and Soren discuss Echoes of the Past from The Owl House.

We have a whole lot more context for this than we did right after the episode aired and so much of it is still a mystery. We think we know what the intention was, but we only think…

At least King is doing alright now. Even if neither of us believe that his horn piece should fit so well.

And yes, next week we will be discussing the finale of season one.

GC13 and David discuss Cursed! and Fiddle Me This from Amphibia.

Finally, Maddie gets her time to shine. She may be well-versed in the dark arts, but she’s a good witch at heart (Azura crossover when?), and would never curse someone just for breaking up with her by text.

And Sprig is good with the fiddle. Like, really good. With a competition the next weekend, a mere nine days of training is all it takes for him to put on a flawless performance. Except for being eaten by a bat.
