Open on the Owl House living room, where Luz is reading from The Good Witch Azura 5 to King and Scorpion

Luz: "Azura," Hecate began. "Our paths have crossed only in battle. But today I stand before you seeking an ally."

She sighs

King: Luz, you're getting all swoony again.

Scorpion: I know what this is about.

Luz: I can't help it. Azura is able to befriend everyone. Even her biggest rival. I wish I had that kind of power.

King: Rivals are meant to be annihilated, not befriended. Now keep reading. I've been sucked into your awful fandom.

Luz: Okay. "Suddenly the door swung open."

He swings the door open

Hooty: Ding-dong. Ding. Hoot! Hoot!

King: The book has come to life! Burn it!

They goes to the door and finds a basket

Luz: Hmm?

Cut to the kitchen

Scorpion: Eda, you got a package. It looks like a gift basket.

Eda: Probably an offering. Ah! Being the most powerful witch in the Boiling Isles has its perks.

King, a bib now tied on, grunts as he pulls a blanket off the top of the basket, revealing a snoring baby bat

Scorpion: Uh, is that a fucking baby bat child.

He rubbing is paws together

King: Mm. Fresh meat.

Luz: No, not eating that.

Eda: Witches eating babies is so 1693. What is this?

King: There's a note.

He grabs it

King: Take care of my child till morning. Yi Yi.

Eda: Nope. Babies are awful. Not happening.

King: "You will be handsomely rewarded. X-O-X-O-X-O-X. Bat Queen."

Eda: Bat Queen?

He pulls a few snails out of the basket. Eda's eyes widen

Eda: Reward?

Scorpion: Who's the Bat Queen?

He sniffs the snails

Eda: She's the wealthiest demon on the Boiling Isles. Get in with her and you're set for life

She takes one of the snails

Eda: So, we keep this thing alive for a few hours and we get paid. Pfft. Easy.

Luz: Our greatest adventure yet! Learning about love and life through a child's eyes.

Eda: Not you. You and Scorpion have to return the books I checked out from the library.

She summons a pile of books, which Luz and Scorpion catches

Eda: I don't want her getting a cut of the loot.

King: Good thinking.

Eda: Now, let's take a look at this little darling.

She takes the blanket off

Baby Bat: [screeches]

Eda: Argh!

King: Oh, boy.

Eda: On second thought, maybe we could use your help!
