The Best Nyaa

I’m so happy for Amity and Luz becoming girlfriends.

Reaper Scythe

Incorrect. Everything is a cannoli. No exceptions.

Megan Wall

Not enough people put the respect on Hooty that he deserves from this episode. He really made everything happen. Even though he thought he was failing he wasn’t.

Carlos Guzman

No, you're spot on. In both humans and animals, such as abused dogs in shelters., There's a trigger that can cause such a response. I'm also surprised not many people talk about how the owl Beast was as much of a victim as Eda

Carlos Guzman

Owl 🦉 PELLETS is what U were trying to say, Montana. They're real, too.

Lindsay Bellerose

I kind of wish they talked about the lore reveals in Eda's dream rather than just going on and on about the symbolism

It's been two days and I'm still cackling at Kenny's face when Hooty just eats the letter. xD

J. Jenny Jameson

Apparently my questions can summon piles of dog. Who knew!

Nathan Grenawalt

I never noticed that before, but it makes perfect sense. It also adds more weight to events a couple episodes ago - Eda's mom's strong reaction to the healing coven not being able to help, and Eda running away as much out of guilt and shame as fear. I wonder if there are other examples of 'writing backwards' and putting the effect before the cause in this show?

Lady Esmeralda

When I first watched it, I just screamed "HOOTY NO!!!" and sat in shock well after the credits finished :D:D:D:D

Lady Esmeralda

Something that I don't really see a lot of people talking about anywhere, is that the Owl Beast itself has PTSD. That PERSON captured the Owl Beast using fireworks and turned it into the scroll. Then when Eda's Dad used the fireworks, it triggered the Owl Beast, who perceived the situation as threatening, therefore triggering fight/flight/freeze, and as we know, the Owl Beast leans heavily towards Fight in that context. It's not something that's too obvious. I only picked up on it because I have PTSD myself, and that's a big thing. Something can trigger you, and you may not realise why until later. That's what happened here. We saw the trigger in Eda's life, THEN received the context. The fact that all this means that both Eda and the Owl Beast are cursed with EACH OTHER is a big thing. That also puts context into the Owl Beast flying away even though they're tied together in their shared subconscious. The Owl Beast viewed Eda as as much of a threat/danger as Eda viewed the Owl Beast. ...... Thank you for reading my Ted Talk :)

This was such a good episode!

Nerains

gotta love an episode where hooty carries but ends up folding in the end

blitzø

its a little thing but it always makes me tear up when luz says she wants to ask amity out and eda's reaction is so supportive. she doesn't think twice about it, just, yeah luz has a crush on a girl. that's cool. Idk, it means a lot to me.

Attila Kos

I burst out laughing for a solid 5 minutes when i saw that, (first time watching the series)

Attila Kos

Get out!

fr0st

holy shit, puppy pile on! truly the cutest lfloofy babies!

fr0st

omg, I kind of want to hear Montana describe the love canal now

fr0st

Character arc: "we love Hooty, nobody better be mean to him!" to *exasperated silence when Hooty eats a letter* Absolutely cackling

Jenny D

Their name is even listed in the credits!

Angel Hernandez

Eyy it’s here!! Also I completely forgot we saw HIM for the first time this episode. Can’t wait to see more!!

SweetCandle

Before the episode: Everyone should stop being mean to Hooty. After the episdoe: I will murder that bird-tube!

SweetCandle

Soup, salad, sandwich, and slab.

Azi

THE STRESS 💀💀

Jenny D

Yeah, I was thinking that throughout the episode as well. I thought for sure Kenny would pause in the list of demon traits!

Steven

kenny's reaction when hooty eats the letter got me laughing so harddd

Jenny D

King: Quick, pretend he helped you before he destroys everything! The brilliance of this writing is that there’s no way Luz CAN pretend Hooty helped her! She has to ask Amity out for real.

Jenny D

Since the owl house has both a Secret basement and a Tunnel of love, I think it’s safe to classify this as a SECRET TUNNEL!

Jenny D

I’ve always loved the depiction of Eda cuddling with the cute little Owl Beast as a metaphor for accepting your disability. A few years before this show even existed I was going through DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) and for one of the projects we had to come up with ways of like, identifying our emotions; what we were feeling, how intense the feeling was, etc. I decided to pick an animal to represent each emotion. Because I love animals so much, I did this as a way to associate emotions I wanted to avoid with things that I loved, as a way of accepting those emotions and caring for the part of myself that was feeling them. Like I chose a basset hound to represent sadness—not because I think basset hounds are inherently sad all the time, but their droopy faces do have a sort of Eeyore quality to them. Iirc I even chose an owl for one of the emotions, fear, because of this one I saw that had these wide, terrified-looking eyes.

HoPe It WaS jUnK mAiL! Honestly, I was fuming too after I first watched it lol

Jenny D

As an adopted person who knows almost nothing about my birthfather King’s story in this episode has always really resonated with me. It reminds me of the time in a science class I think in Middle School when we were learning about DNA. For one assignment we were supposed to compare our physical traits with those of our parents to see what we got from each of them and I didn’t know what to do for my assignment. I can’t remember what the teacher told me for that assignment, but I also remember an assignment for I think a different class where we were supposed to ask our parents about the country/countries their ancestors came from. I was told to just use my adoptive parents’ ancestries and for me it took what was supposed to be a fun assignment and made it frustrating. I knew a bit about my birthmother’s ancestry, and most of it was different from both of my parents’ so I knew the assignment wouldn’t be accurate.

Cathy Breuer

Those bird puns at the start really got me, not going to lie hahahaha

Jon.quartz

I HIGHLY recommend that yall pause more. Dana left so much in the background designs. The attention to details is chefs kiss. From Hottys filled caulkborad, the things on edas desk, and there's almost always a quick joke every now and again. I LOVE how we get a glimpse of EVERYONES bedrooms in season 2, and you get so much more about the characters. Like photos of them from side plots we have assume they did in between episodes.

Erin

The way you guys were fuming after that last scene lmaoooooo

Matt Lievens

Ok, if it's a joke that went over my head, then that's fine. Without that knowledge I thought I was actually going insane.

Jack Jack

Honestly though it should be a counter from here on out

Jack Jack

Yes but it’s a joke for the fandom. Everyone thought this was just gonna be a filler episode. No one excepted all of this story line progression. That’s the joke.

Suplee215

Starting next episode take a shot every time amity or Luz says girlfriend

Matt Lievens

I feel like people who call this a filler episode don't know what filler episodes are. Filler episodes are unrelated to the main plot, AND don't significantly alter the relations between the characters. So many things happened in this episode, that effect the characters in meaningful ways moving forward. Lumity, Harpie Eda, and King's Powers are all from this episode. Literally the furthest thing from a filler episode.

King Katerina

What a perfect birthday present for me! ;)

Jasen Phillips

is a owl pellet ps love this ep

JHB

"Owl pellets" are the hairball-like things owls hork up. Hooty used them twice in this episode, to transport King the classroom and then Amity to the basement. King: "Did you OWL PELLET me?!"
