GC13, Soren, and David discuss Them’s the Breaks, Kid from The Owl House.

Alright, it’s time for a flashback! Young Eda, young Raine, young Bump: two of these characters are exactly like you’d expect them to be, and one is completely the opposite.

Who knew there were so many ways to use bardic magic? Not only the sheer devastation possible with concentrated sound, but that end-of-episode plot twist means we’re going to have to raise bards up in our estimation.

GC13 and David discuss Funny Lying from Bee and PuppyCat.

Things in the show are getting heavy. Funny Lying brought us some serious PuppyCat backstory, and it was all accompanied by the voice acting talents of Steve Blum!

It’s not just the voices that are familiar either. Watch the flashbacks and you’ll see a familiar hairdo. Of course that all adds up to there being far, far more questions than there are answers, but we’re intrigued.

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Reaching Out from The Owl House.

Who knew a wrestling episode could be so hard-hitting? Luz has lost a father, Amity barely has one, and in his quest for acceptance Edric turns Not-Warden Wrath into a monster that can actually fight—too late to defend his championship belt, however.

While the truth-in-television on the effects of grief can make you sad, take heart: this is finally the episode where Alador makes a decision to be better.

GC13 and David discuss Snow and Violets from Bee and PuppyCat.

It’s an episode of two parts. The island is undergoing Seasons Day, and the cat cafe is celebrating with special dishes. Toast is celebrating in her own way: riding out of Cas’s room on a toy train, on tracks being set down by Merlin.

And then, in space, Bee and PuppyCat take up a freebie job on a race tack planet and help Root Beer Guy’s racing uncle win a race the right way: by cheating! But at least he gets to be rainbow colored again.

GC13, Soren, and David discuss For the Future from The Owl House.

The penultimate episode of the series does a fantastic job of ratcheting up the stakes: the Hexside crew is back on the Boiling Isles, but the Collector’s star people are running around collecting everyone. And Kiki is back.

But have no fear, Stringbean is here! With this mighty weapon, Luz is sure to be able to kill the Collector. (With kindness.) And Belos? Well, he won’t stand a chance, no matter who he possesses.

GC13 and David discuss Day Off Work from Bee and PuppyCat.

In this episode, it’s PuppyCat’s turn to be a gremlin who forces the plot forward with his hilarity. Instead of making Bee eat a tracking device he ends up eating it himself, letting Bee follow it to unite with everyone at the end of the episode.

And the Wizard family carries on. Cas doesn’t understand face masks, Merlin has a voice, and Toast is finally hormonal—now she needs to make a pact with a demon for strength.

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Any Sport in a Storm from The Owl House.

If you had made it this far into the season while still hating Hunter, this was probably a confusing episode for you. Here he was regretting his choices and making the right decision in the end, all while being an absolute ace at flyer derby.

As for Amity and Luz? Well, they have a little adventure, to be sure. Luz learns Tinella Nosa’s name, and Tibbles survives another day without being made into BLTs. (Nothing’s perfect.)

GC13 and David discuss Little Fingers from Bee and PuppyCat.

You know what? Lazy in Space can go to some weird places. Like a Palm planet, populated by a pair of gross aliens who like to touch things, like giant soda in a giant cup.

And still on her quest for revenge, Toast announces that she is going to be the mother to Merlin’s child, tying her to Cas forever. Somehow this seems more like doom for Merlin than doom for Cas…

GC13 and David discuss Gentle Touch from Bee and PuppyCat.

It’s time to get your chill on. Not only have we arrived at what might be the most chill episode of a chill series, but the coolest member of the Wizard family is here to show PuppyCat the way: Wesley.

Of course PuppyCat may not be strong enough to punch newborn kittens, but his soft gentle paws are perfect for dispersing dandelion aliens throughout the galaxy. Not even the evil hands can be mad about that.

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Elsewhere and Elsewhen from The Owl House.

When The Owl House brings out the time travel, you know it’s going to be a doozy. Long thought to be just an urban legend, like possums, time travel turns out to be very real, and we’ll see the consequences on Luz’s conscience as we continue with the season.

There’s no way Flora D’splora is her real name though, is there? Either way, Belos knew exactly what he was doing sending her to see Lilith. His manipulations lasted hundreds of years.
