In season two, episode six of The Owl House “Hunting Palismen”, not a single things goes as I imagined it would.

In season two, episode five of The Owl House “Through the Looking Glass Ruins”, Gus finds his self-confidence while accidentally helping some Glandus students with a graverobbing and Amity helps Luz find information on the first human in the Boiling Isles while trying to sort through her strange new feelings for the current human resident of the Boiling Isles.

In season two, episode four of The Owl House, Eda and Lilith’s mom, Gwendolyn Clawthorne shows up to try to cure Eda’s curse with holistic healing. This, of course, causes problems for all of the Clawthorne women that Luz has to help mend. Despite how this sounds, “Keeping Up A-fear-ances” starts out par for the course of an average Owl House episode right up until the last five minutes when lore and terror are unceremoniously dumped into our laps.

In season two, episode three of The Owl House, King takes Luz, Lilith, and Hooty to his castle, located on a mysterious ancient misty island not even the Boiling Isle’s historians know about, to prove that he is, in fact, the King of Demons. Backstories get unveiled, secrets come to light, the owl family nearly gets killed, and a new mystery is added to the ever-growing queue.

In the second episode of season two of The Owl House, we meet Mr. and Mrs. Blight, who almost immediately get Luz, Gus, and Willow expelled from Hexside for “distracting” Amity in and out of school. This leads to Luz participating in the Blight’s weapons demonstration to their investors that goes horribly wrong, or right if you’re Odalia Blight. Meanwhile, Lilith and Eda are learning glyphs with mixed results.

The Owl House is back and it feels like it never even left. I like when a new season’s premiere feels like a continuation of what came before instead of a completely new start. There is a new status quo but it doesn’t overshadow the particular brand of humor The Owl House sold many on when it first aired.
