I love the little hints regarding Luz and Hunter's switch! "Luz" using Hunter's dash/teleport ability, "Hunter" blowing a raspberry at Kiki, Gus having rings around his wrists (indicating he's using an illusion) for most of the fight even though there are no illusions being used against Odalia and Kiki atm; neither "Luz" nor "Hunter" speaking after the bubble shatters and "Luz" fighting with her fists instead of her glyphs! And I think "Luz" even had Hunter's tooth gap at one point. And after the smoke clears, "Luz" looking down at her hands as though bewildered while Gus still has the rings around his wrists, keeping up the spell. Just shows how much thought they put into this and makes the re-watch all the more amazing!

And Hunter’s like, “But I’m the oldest one here”. And then he starts arguing with flapjack about it.

in media in general, especially tv writers just love milking toxic relationships for drama, it's so disgusting and exhausting to watch. Movie sequels also love doing that.

@@willowarkan2263 I love healthy relationships being shown in media, as rare as it is. (Honestly, all I can remember is this show doing that.)

[@willowarkan2263]

@@oprime i mean sypha and Trevor in Castlevania have a pretty healthy relationship, especially given the circumstances. they tease each other, but mostly in a jovial way. They have moments of tension, but given the circumstances that's hardly unexpected. They are clearly having an active sex life, though the show hardly uses it for titillation, sex is more often used as a counter point to something else. Deadend paranormal park's barny and his partner are pretty healthy. It does take a lot of effort to find good relationships. Catra and Adora might become pretty healthy going forward, but in the show they only just get together and their courtship was anything but healthy, but then they were raised in a trauma factory. Hopefully Arcane season 2 gives us a healthy relationship between Cait and Vi, even amidst the fallout of the ending. Latest live action stuff i watched is trash in the relationship department, Wednesday's toxic triangle of "love". And then there is Supergirl's endless relationship drama farming, just the epitome of we don't know how to write couples when they aren't having issues or breaking up. Even Alex and Maggie, the longest couple as of where I am in the series seem on the brink of breaking up every other time they show up and just broke up over having children, which is fair.

@@willowarkan2263 Thanks for the info, and even though I haven't seen Dead End or the Castlevania yet. I am glad there are more but in a way it's also very sad that there aren't MORE healthy ones out in the media. Has it become such a normal thing to have toxic relationships in media that people just accept it as "good"? Because if that's the case, then I worry about the people growing up and thinking that's the way relationships are supposed to be and thus end up in their own toxic relationship. To that end we need more healthy ones to counter them. Yes, it's generally not as exciting to watch in most cases but I believe TOH has proved that it can be as exciting because of the crikey kiss. Lol Dana is a Super Saiyan when it comes to healthy relationships, incredible storytelling, and great animation moments. Look out Steven Spielberg, there is someone who can tug on heartstrings as good as the best movies you've made! Lol

[@StarcoFanatic]

The attention to detail in this show is bloody insane. Post switch, Gus's illusion rings are up the entire time. It's a detail they could have easily just not added in but they made sure to, knowing and respecting the audience's intelligence; if we didn't catch it on the first viewing, then we'd surely catch it on a repeat viewing after knowing the twist. To me it adds to the storytelling and the worldbuilding when they do things like that. They did a similar thing with Raine and their whistling trick in Covens at the Coven Day Parade; we had no context for what it meant and yet they added that subtle detail in anyway, knowing we'd catch it on a repeat viewing. They know us so well 😁

[@kirkistief]

I'm sure I've made this comment somewhere else before but, Lumity really is one of if not THE healthiest relationships I've ever seen in a cartoon. I really love the way they take the age old conflict-between-lovers tropes and subvert them with actual positive, healthy behaviors. When Luz is hiding the fact that she "visited" the human realm and Amity knows whats up. Luz CONVENIENTLY leaves her phone behind and Amity finds it. According to the trope Amity should watch the vid, find out Luz is lying and confront her, at which point, Luz gets angry because her privacy was invaded and the two have a spat, made up in the end when they have to come together to beat the episode baddie. But instead of the trope, Amity goes to a mutual friend to ask advice and the opts to NOT invade Luz's privacy, but confronts Luz about it anyway, not from a place of anger, but of concern and maybe a little hurt. She asks Luz to open up to her, instead of accusing her. And the ship is full of those kinds of interactions. So good. Also, I don't think they ever explain Alador the rat.

[@partygamingz3332]

Alador was listening to "we're the rats" 24 loop making his last experiment So he channeled his inner rat energy and that's the canon explanation My source: the rats in my head

[@willowarkan2263]

I love how at the start people are like the queer ship isn't going to happen, then when it becomes clear it's going to it switches to they are going to do it in the finale. Then the ship happens early in season 2 and from there out it just becomes more and more and here we are at a kiss full on the lips with the extra special fluid animation in a rather romantic setting, the open balcony door with blooming vines around them and Luz looking like a dashing rogue. I love to watch people on that journey from tempered expectations after years of queerbaiting to the beautiful excitement every milestone.

So... Here's something in this episode that's fairly easy to miss, but it... Well, it supports a headcanon/theory I've mentioned before. When King is talking to Alador on the swingset, he talks about how he's not really one to give dad advice because he never knew his dad. Right after he says that, a gust of wind kicks up, pushes his swing and only his swing, and then immediately dies back down. Neither King nor Alador comment on it or even notice, but... Well. Even though King's dad is long dead, I like to think that he's still looking out for him as a ghost, in whatever way he can. That gust of wind was so specific in its timing and so brief that I really do think that it was him trying to play with his son. I've talked before about how strange Luz finding the light glyph is, and I'd like to point something out about it: Right then and there, Luz finding the light glyph was the best way to protect King.

Which is funny, because he uses the same idea to control the isles by claiming he's a prophet for this very entity, i wonder if this feeling that the isle had a will of it's own gave him the idea to pass himself of as a prophet of the titan.

Honestly, I think the zoom/cut-away from Eda getting the coven sigil to Raine's reaction is a clever way of emphasizing the significance. By pulling away from showing it, they are treating the branding the same way they would a scene of intense violence - that branding is no less meaningful than, for example, the flashback of Eda attacking Dell. It's a huge deal for her to get willingly branded, so putting it just off-screen treats it like anything else requiring a Gory Discretion Shot. And pulling in to Raine's expression help direct the emotion of the scene along those lines.

[@Janoha17]

Theory: The Collector was spying for Belos. No reflection was safe.

[@MuffinHunterX]

Another theory: You can see snapdragon growing out of the walls in the C.A T.s base so Terra.

[@Mikey_from_kdog]

And one other question: What the heck is up with the Alador mouse???

[@Janoha17]

@@Mikey_from_kdog Most likely, it's his palisman.

[@luffyiscool]

From magic duelling, cupcake squishing and bully accusations to pet names, emotional embraces and smooching. What an epic progression! Rewatching the show is always a trip, seeing where these characters started out 😁

[@KitCatIsNotACat]

FROM NOW ON.. YOU KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR WHEN THE ANIMATION GETS TEN TIMES BETTER. it means there is and important scene coming.

[@umedyn8371]

I saw the leaked episode, I can't wait for the egg palisman to hatch into a replacement for Ghost after it sacrifices itself for Amity.

[@twist58]

According to a Twitter post from one of Dana’s crew members, the “Crikey” line was added in there most likely as a nod to the animator responsible for that fluid animation for the Lumity Lip-Lock Kiss. He comes from Australia.

[@gatokawaii3996]

13:35 Now everyone, don't let go of your emotional support stuff animal and lets roll 🥐

[@SilverGallowglass]

I love how you freaked out about the characters explaining the plan and I was freaking out when watching this because of them having that heartwarming moment together as a family and having Raine promise to keep Eda safe. Another storywriting 101 is never have characters promise to see each other, say they love each other, or say "I don't know/ wouldn't know what I'd do without you" or else someone is gonna die. You also don't make promises like Raine did because that is asking circumstances to mess up their ability to keep that promise (by either someone preventing them from protecting Eda or them dying and not being there to protect Eda). So, yeah, when I watched that scene, I was screaming to my friend about "NO! DEATH-FLAG! NO NO SO MANY DEATH-FLAGS! STOP TALKING, STOP WAVING DEATH-FLAGS!"

[@itzmehDevi]

To be honest..we don't know exactly why that specific mouse looked like Alador But many theorized that it might be his palismen. I also heard from someone that it might be to show how Odalia perceives Alador

[@horrordisneygal1172]

CRIKEY ! ❤❤❤. I am straight and even I was screaming in happiness when Luz and Amity finally kissed ❤❤❤❤. CRIKEY INDEED ❤❤

[@twist58]

I seriously enjoyed this episode. We not only get the official Lumity lip-lock kiss (which Amity once again made the first move), but Amity herself stood up to her own mom to defend her girlfriend.

[@NinjaAlchemist3050]

There was a deleted scene where Hunter started climbing the vine after Luz, and Willow stopped him. I think there are story boards or rough sketches or even the voice recordings online somewhere.

[@feliperuiz7458]

19:35 And when you said "crikey" all those times I thought a thousand times at this moment. You spoiled yourself 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@coena9377]

29:02 The mouse that looked like Alador was his palisman.

[@billlupin8345]

The mouse was just a mouse. Someone commented that he looks like a rat the way he holds his hands up above the waist all the time, so an animator added it in as a joke. It was later retconned into being his palisman.

[@cartoonloverzxc3237]

Alidor is an awesome father The Lumity kiss was very beautiful rain has such a sweet heart 💜

[@PsychoDiesel48]

Oh yeah, we DEFINITELY see that date. They go to a zoo, try on new clothes, even go on a hay ride!

[@karsenloveskartoons]

oh crikey, i loved your reaction to this episode! i really wanted to participate in the "crikey" thing, but i didn't want my new icon to spoil you. but here i am now lol!

[@trolleyfan]

If you watch, you'll see Hunter as "Luz" do his super-speed thingy to save Willow - that was a subtle clue Luz wasn't Luz in that fight. Well, that and Luz as Hunter doing a raspberry at Kiki-Mora...

[@FluffyJackie]

When rewatch the episode about the anniversary of Luz' dad passing away, you see that Luz looks similar to Alador in the picture Amity showed her of him winning the Bones Borrow Brawl.

[@Turai12]

Odalia is one of my absolute favourite characters. A story is as good as its antagonists and Odalia is a fantastic bad guy. That and her hips are to die for.

[@iDunnoMan9000]

The switch from extreme excitement to immediate disappointment when Luz said crikey lol. She was instantly so mad at all of us XD

[@donke9120]

Crikin’ Time

[@alexkoder1982]

Rewatching this because why not. Still love how Dana pushed the envelope. We thought Grom & Wing it like Witches was going to be the most we would get. Then we thought them officially dating was the end. Then we get this kiss. I still remember everyone being terrified that Owl House was just baiting us.

[@sourcandycosplay2018]

“I’m so glad I had you as a big sister”. New phrase to drive her crazy

[@PerfectAlibi1]

She already finished season 2 before this aired.

[@sourcandycosplay2018]

@@PerfectAlibi1 your right I didn’t think about that.

[@TheRhuen]

What we know of the Collector, they were also called the Grand Huntsman, we are certain the figure that turned the Owl Beast into a scroll like a sealing demon scroll So maybe they collect scrolls and books of their victims like trophies (Predator only still alive and trapped in scrolls), when i first heard their name I thought of my own character The Doll Collector who was inspired by a few anime and Star Trek types as well as Marvel's collector; in my case my Doll Collector *being renamed the Mistress of Dolls thanks to finding out a serial killer book series is called Doll Collector and for a related reason*, mine is an eldritch fairy queen type entity who turns people she fancies into living dolls to populate her pocket dimension the Doll House; the book series I came across is a serial killer who taxidermies people into dolls. But I am thinking of something I can't remember, some comic book character who used to seal people into books, or shrink people into jars...there are a lot of these. But the Collector seemed like they were killing Titans and their followers keeping the skulls like trophy hunters but then they turned the Owl Beast into a scroll.

[@eddiesauce9492]

Head cannon, but the rat is a variant echo mouse, instead of storing the info of what it eats, it takes the properties of the author.

[@saturnday160]

Im so glad to see some appreciation for darius and alador.

[@Omniscient87]

Just imagine having to wait a week after that cliffhanger at the end.

[@nisaiahcampbell8390]

Amity: Don't you talk to my girlfriend like that "That line, first her mother, then her father, then her mother again, I guess Alador's right, Amity is getting stronger!"

[@nisaiahcampbell8390]

It's like Luz is rescuing her Cotten candy haired princess from the evil dragon known as Odalia.

[@Fireamadeus1]

Grinning ear to ear and happy bouncing in place. Happy Lil F#*k. Was so looking forward to seeing your reaction to this and watching the Crikey blows land. All that trolling is just such a heavy love from all of us, for that moment, and a want from all of us to see it shared with you. Also... Hello Angy, I'm dad. Have some cake and a blanket.

[@elivitolin874]

24:07 "I don't even know how to process that." If there was ever a phrase to describe season 2b, and so far season 3 of the Owl House, that's it.

[@brittvaughn9447]

Yeah, Eda has developed a lot as a mom, but then again, she was always awesome- Eda in episode 2 to dumb kid #1: who are you? Eda at the end of episode 2: risks her life for dumb kid #1. Eda in episode 14: those are MY dumb kids! Eda in episode 18: risks her life to save her dumb kid #1 again. Eda now: cool mom/aunt vibes at 100/10 You can see that she's always been caring and loving, but you can also see the development and I love her. 🥰

[@jbleichman]

I have a feeling Mouseador was just something they threw in to mess with us.

[@RevolutionaryGirlLexi]

Odalia Blight is totally the type of person who would buy Twitter.

[@stomyn]

Bahahahahahaha! I have no idea how "Crikey" became the meme we all latched onto, but my god did your reaction make it worth it XD. Obligatory fake spoilers (which are becoming increasingly harder to come up with as you get closer and closer to being caught up): The "mundane" date in the human world was great, particularly the hijinks that came about from Luz and Vee getting mixed up. She was also there on a date with the fortune-teller friend she made at camp, but since they also thought Vee was Luz, well, you can imagine the comedy that ensued

[@caltheuntitled8021]

That would have been a great episode. If only they had time for like 20 more adventures.

[@Rutabega_NG]

I've been *living* for reactions to this one! It's almost like seeing it again for the first time. I covered my mouth and screamed the first time. I think I cried, too. There was a lot going on, I was watching it as it aired and I had to pause, rewind, watch again, and pause to process.

[@purpleguy_87]

I'm pretty quite certain that Odalia and Alador's parents set them up in an arranged marriage, and another thing, whether it's canon or not, is that darius had feelings for alador, but when alador started dating odalia because of the arranged marriage, darius started ignoring them, and that's why darius despises alador

[@rain6957]

I disagree on Eda's arc. The very first day we met her she was pursuing the means to get a toy back for King. She's always been a good mom, she's just gotten better as she's come to terms with herself more fully.

[@227akasika]

I adore how the animation for the kiss was bumped up, like, they added extra effort and budget just to get that kiss perfect.

[@meganhammer7857]

Crikey! Luz making her palisman an egg was a cute decision, but it's a bit anticlimactic when Belos just makes it into an omelette in the next episode.

[@levangiorgadze5842]

27:58 that's his palisman.
