GC13 and David discuss Who Would Want This? from Bee and PuppyCat.

The second episode of the series, recapping the original YouTube series, ups the ante of weirdness. We’re introduced to the mysterious Cardamon and his dog Sticky, and get to follow Bee and PuppyCat on three more official temp jobs.

And of course Bee unlocks a secret fourth temp job with her complete failure to read the room—a skill she shares with Luz. We don’t know about you, but we’d be willing to risk the cats to work at that human café.

GC13 and Soren discuss Eclipse Lake from The Owl House.

Belos really knows how to keep a Grimwalker loyal: even though he’s being sidelined, Hunter is so desperate to stay on his good side that he goes out to get the Titan’s Blood before Kikimora does—and she knows he’s going to too!

And as rad as she is, Amity can’t defend the portal key from him—not when he’s willing to threaten Luz to get what he wants. Perhaps if Eda and the Owl Beast had just imagined him as a vole…

GC13 and David discuss Again for the First Time from Bee and PuppyCat.

Oh yes, that episode happened. It happened beautifully. The first episode recapping the original web series, Again for the First Time covers a lot of ground, introducing you to the characters and the basic premise of their relationship.

What mysteries does Bee and PuppyCat have? Quite a few, but getting answers to them might take some time, and a bit of brainpower too. Keep your eyes, and your mind, open.

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Knock, Knock, Knockin’ on Hooty’s Door from The Owl House.

It’s like three episodes in one, each with more plot impact than the last: King learns he has a power, Eda makes her peace with the Owl Beast and gets a new form for her trouble, and Amity and Luz finally make it official.

And plus, The Owl House’s reference game in their titles had officially reached its peak.

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Eda’s Requiem from The Owl House.

So it turns out Eda has an ex, does she? And not only does Eda have adoptive children, Raine has adopted kids too—and it looks like Amber isn’t waiting for the wedding to start calling Eda “mama”.

This episode set King down a path. That’s Bad Girl Coven magic alright, but is the bad girl’s magic good or bad?

Plus, Darius is literally the greatest and we won’t hear a word otherwise.

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?
