MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO
Part 1: Luz had failed to save Eda from the petrification spell and has now become a top target of the Emperor's Coven. But when rumors about a cur...
We open up to Eda, who is sipping on a cup of Apple Blood as she sits by the now open portal door in the basement. Ever since Luz could walk with her prosthetic again, she began visiting the Human Realm a bit more, along the lines of visiting her Dad when he's given a break. However, this time, the former criminal was waiting for Luz to return since she had a dentist appointment in her home realm.
Eda: *sigh* Come on already. They just look inside your mouth, why does it take over 3 hours?
However as she said that, Luz approached the portal with her father, Manny right behind, the camera turning to obscure his face. Eda reached out to help her daughter through, catching sight of the girl holding her cheek.
Luz: Ow... Oh.... H-Hey, Mom....
Eda: What happened to you?
Luz: Dentist....
Manny: 8 cavities and a whole lot of rat bones for some reason.
Eda looked away slightly, finding guilt in what led to the bones in Luz's mouth.
Manny: She'll be fine and able to eat hard things again by tomorrow. Maybe this'll teach you to delay a dentist visit for almost 3 years, mija?
Luz: Hey, is it my fault I got trapped in another dimension. Besides, my teeth only hurt a little bit then.
Manny: You're welcome. Now try to talk it easy, sweetheart. *to Eda* Make sure she stays safe now.
Eda: As I always have.
As the three exchanged farewells and the adult human left, Luz continued carressing her cheek and groaning in pain.
Luz: Oh... I hate getting my teeth drilled, my mouth feels like it's on fire.
Eda: Well, at least it's over, Owlet.
Luz: How am I supposed to eat anything? My teeth are so sore, I'm gonna starve!
Eda: Hey, no you're not. Come on, let's get you some Apple Phlegm.
Luz: ...Don;t you mean Apple Sauce?
Eda: No.
As the older witch help guide her daughter up the steps, she sat Luz down onto the table. But just as she turned, she saw King next to the cabinet trying to open the jar of Apple Phlegm.
King: Come on!... Titan, dammit, open!
Eda: King, what are you doing?
King: I've been trying to open this jar of stupid Apple Phlegm for 30 minutes! The lid won't open!
Eda: Oh come on, how hard can it even-
She's stopped as King puts the lid in his mouth and tries to gnaw it open, only for her to take it from her demonic son.
Eda: Gimme that! Do you want your teeth drilled too?
King: Well, why don;t you try opening it?
Eda: Maybe I will.
Eda grabbed the lid of the jar and twisted, confused at the stubbornness of the jar. Growing more impatient, Eda tried harder to make the lid twist, but it only resulted in her hand snapping off and launching out the window, breaking it and eliciting an "Ow!" from Hooty.
Luz: *tears up* I'm so hungry!
King patted his sister's shoulder in sympathy as Eda sighed and sat down.
Eda: Okay, this obviously isn't working. Hmm.... Lemme call your aunt Lily, she's pretty good at opening jars.... Uh... Can either of you two be a dear and hold the crow for Mommy until Hooty brings back my hand?
King: I'll get it.
—----------------------------------------
30 minutes later, we see Lilith's raven staff heading towards the ground near the Owl House. As the staff hovers above the grass, we see Lilith step off her staff and onto the grass. Her face gained an extra wrinkle or two and her hair is now back to being mostly black and straight with a few small streaks of grey from her widow's peak, though the lower portion of her hair remained fluffy and her ends are now their natural deep scarlet. She now wears a pale green shirt with poofy sleeves and a gold button on the chest, a brown vest, a maroon ankle-length skirt, purplish-gray leggings, brown high-heeled boots, and around her figure was a purple wedding ring with a small Galdurstone etched with the WWS's old sigil.

Lilith: *sigh* So good to be home...
She walked up to the door to see Hooty, who hasn't changed at all. But before he could say anything, Eda slammed open the door to show her disheveled and holding the jar of Apple Phlegm.
Eda: What took you so long?! You have a starving niece in here!
Lilith: Not all of us work from home, Edalyn.
Eda: *passes jar* Here. Open this, please.
Lilith: Really? A jar of Apple Phlegm? Edalyn, it's very simple, you just grab the lid and....
She grabs the lid as she speaks, however as she twists harder, Lilith's hand also detaches and launches off into the distance, hitting a griffon that was flying over the sea and knocking it out, sending it into the water.
Lilith: .....Well, I won;t be seeing that hand for a while.
King: *inside* Alright, that's it!
The little demon then runs out of the house, holding Atlas in their staff form as the bat's eyes glow.
King: Go Umbris, open the enemy jar! INFERNO FIRE BLAST!
The bat Palisman squeals as a stream of fire spews from their mouth, making Lilith drop the jar as the flames make contact. After a flash of light from the fire, Eda and the others uncovered their eyes to see an open crack in the jar.
Eda: King, you did it! You cracked it! *picks up jar* Luz, we did it, you can eat now!
The human then came out of the house to join her mother, spooning a reddish-green sludge from a bowl into her mouth.
Luz: What?
King: Um..... Luz, where'd you get that Apple Phlegm?
Luz: There was an already open jar in the fridge. Oh, hey Tia Lily, what are you doing here? What happened to your hand?
The three stood gobsmacked as King simply pried the top off the cracked jar and ate out of it while Lilith got onto her staff.
Lilith: If you all will excuse me, I need to go scuba diving for my husband's favorite hand. Don;t ask why. *flies off*
Luz: What, what's wrong? Did you manage to open the jar King was struggling with?
Eda: ...*sigh* Luz, kiddo.... I love you babes, but for fuck's sake.
