It's nice that the writers found a way to clear up how Luz charges her phone now that the portal's gone instead of expecting the audience to figure out how that phone stayed alive throughout the months. Seriously, my phone could go from seventy percent to dead within a day, and I barely use the damn thing. How am I supposed to expect that Luz's phone will survive longer than a day?
Eda Getting Luz to SORT OF Open Up: Do you want to know what's also great? Eda being a good mom.
it got me concerned when "Reaching Out" was confirmed to be an episode where Amity tries to gain Alador's approval. Like, why? Why seek his approval? Is this the series finally showing us how he could be a good father? Or is it more about Amity learning that he isn't a good father? Either seemed plausible, and I was really hoping that it'd be the ladder all so it could shut up the Alador apologists. Still, if it is the former, then, sure, I'll be open to it if done well
Edric and Emira: We get to see more of Ed and Em this episode...a lot more than I could have ever expected. We didn't need to know that they make themselves look good through these concealing stones...but I deeply appreciate it. It feeds into how much these two rely on their looks and tells us how vain the Blight name is for Edric and Emira to hide how they're not as "attractive" as they're expected. Even though they both look fine...well, Emira is fine. Edric looks like he just got out of bed and refused to put the work into cleaning himself up. Which I can relate...but he seems like he needs a shower. Desperately (See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text The sound of Luz's phone buzzing caught her attention. She turned it on and saw an event marked on her calendar that said, "Event Reminder With Mami". Luz's eyes widened.
"Luzer?" King slowly opened the door to the living room. "We're coming in..." Oswald, Eda and King entered the room to find Luz rapidly pining pictures onto a cork board. "Luz, are you okay?"
"I feel great! Today's gonna be a productive day of problem solving." She grabbed a list and shoved it in Eda's chest. "Look!"
"'Successfully build a portal to the Human Realm.'? 'Learn every glyph combination.'? 'Figure out what Belos is planning and show him what for.'?"
"Luz, did you stay up all night writing these?" Oswald asked with concern.
"Look. I've already learned a new combo. Excuse me, Francois. I call it the safety hover!" She grabbed the stuffed bunny from King and placed a glyph combo on it. She threw it into the air, only for it to stop a few inches off the ground before the spell wore off.
"Ooh! That'll work great when birds try to fly away with me," said King.

"And I'm already on my way to building a second door." She pointed to Hooty, who was holding onto a very flimsy archway, only to have it fall apart when he sneezed. "Uh, it's a work in progress. But look at this!" She took out a penstagram scroll from her pajama pocket.
