History Recap / LuzClawthorneTwoWorldsOneFamilyChapter52

* ForWantOfANail:
** For "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E13AnySportInAStorm Any Sport in a Storm]]"; Hunter only goes to Hexside to make sure his friends do okay on their first day in class and is recruited by Willow for flyer derby when Jerbo is put out of commission. With Prof. Blanc out of the picture, Faust puts together a rival team to oppose the Entrails and instead of coven scouts coming for them (instead, they go to St. Epiderm for a recruitment drive), another team comes to challenge them. Meanwhile for Luz and Amity, Boscha joins their book club, so they don't rebrand into a writing club and all three girls spend the day hanging out instead of investigating the mystery behind why the Azura books have altered author photos. And unlike the actual episode, Eda and King have brief appearances.
** Instead of Luz, Willow snuck Hunter into Hexside by disguising him as an abomination, and it happened a year prior.
** [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E9SomethingVenturedSomeoneFramed Matt replaces Gus as H.A.S. president]] a full season after he did it in canon, and he doesn't get it by default due to Gus being removed from the club; rather, Gus steps down and nominates him as his successor.

-->'''Grim Goblin:''' Misery, misery, misery, that's what you've chosen for yourself. How's being the hero doing for you lately? You don't appear to be the type, if I am being honest. I think we both know that it is just part of your parole. (''Emily's eyes widen as the Goblin chuckled.'') That's right. We all wear masks, Goldy. But which one is real? The one that hides your face or the one that is your face? Do you know how the people of the Isles will react if they learn who you really are? Despite everything you've done for them, they'll turn on you. Why even bother, Tricks? It's true, Goldy! I know everything. And like a kid who sneaks in to look into their Krampmus present, I have to say... it's sadly anti-climatic. Behind the golden garb and tricked-out staff, you're just a little girl playing pretend, crying for mommy and daddy who left you, so you just take it out on everyone else… how pathetic. Sometimes the people love their heroes. (''Popping out from his sleeve gauntlet was a blade.'') And sometimes, they love to see their heroes fall!

** After accepting Hunter's apology, Batters claims that he had a revenge scheme planned out. [[WesternAnimation/RegularShowTheMovie Similar to Past Mordecai and Past Rigby apologizing to Past Mr. Ross]].

** Emily is put on stand-in/recruitment duty as a way to make up for the failed palismen raid in "The Steve Chapter". It's also to throw off Linday as she's convinced Cross is the Guard following the Scarfish incident, is is brought up a few times.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: During Emily's interview with Tina, the latter uses this opportunity to completely deconstruct Emily's FreudianExcuse. The Grim Goblin also does this to Emily.
-->'''Tina''': Well, clearly she has abandonment issues that she projects onto others. She blames Eda and Luz because she feels like there has to be someone to blame for her parents abandoning her, someone to hurt and transfer her pain to. Especially since her parents are no longer around, meaning there is no catharsis or closure, so she needs someone else to place the blame on. Emily Tricks is a control freak, trying to make up for the fact that what happened to her was an accident that she was unable to prevent. Instead, she has convinced herself that what Eda did to her ruined her life and if she can likewise ruin her life, then all of her problems and pain will go away and she will be happy. Her life will be perfect and she will have control over everything and everyone in it. And because of this, she can't accept the fact that it isn't Eda or Luz's fault that her parents abandoned her. It has to be their fault and she has to make them pay so she can feel like she can do something about what happened to her instead of accepting, since the alternative is accepting that she can't do anything about it, since it's in the past. She can only move on, but I don't think she knows how to do that.

*** Olive Slick is revealed to be male.

** Sweet side: Willow and Skara successfully get their flyer derby team approved despite opposition from Faust; Boscha becomes part of Luz and Amity's book club after divulging that she's an Azura fan; Hunter makes amends with Batters; and Eve joins the H.A.S..

* DramaticUnmask

** Matt replaces Gus as H.A.S. president a full season after he did it in canon, and he doesn't get it by default due to Gus being removed from the club; rather, Gus steps down and nominates him as his successor.

* GreenThumb: Although Cross was already established to be on the Plant track, this is the first time he actively uses such magic, summoning vines and roots during his battle against the Grim Goblin.

* IncompatibleOrientation

* JerkassHasAPoint: 10-year-old Luz didn't tell her friends about Hunter being a powerless witch because it wasn't her secret to reveal, Eda saying he would tell them when he was ready.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: The Grim Goblin doesn't just deliver a CurbStompBattle to Emily, he also gives her a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and mocks how her parents abandoned her.

* {{Expy}}: Bob, the blue-haired contruction track student who can use water fists is based on [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Lapis Lazuli]].

* LivingADoubleLife

** Jerbo breaking his leg during the practice match before the Entrails' first match (which he calls inconvenient) also occured in the PragmaticAdaptation of "Any Sport in a Storm" in ''Fanfic/ABlightOnBonesborough''. Coincidentally, like said chapter, Hunter sneaks into Hexside with a concealment stone that makes him look like his [[Creator/ZenoRobinson voice actor]].

** Gavin, Angmar, and Batters on the other hand, are now sporting Hexside uniforms of their own since they've all been enrolled into Hexside. And Angmar has replaced his Glandus cap with a cowl.

*** Lake Lacuda and Newt Burger appear as hangout spots for the trio that Hunter meet them at.

* AllJustADream: The entire DistantPrologue was Hunter dreaming about several of his past exploits with Luz, Willow, and Gus before Belos shows up and attacks, causing him to wake up.

*** Cross was the Golden Guard who fought the Scarfish at Tibilas Bay.

** Emily is put on stand-in/recruitment duty as a way to make up for the failed palismen raid in "The Steve Chapter".

** Gibson is the Grim Goblin and he's connected to St. Epiderm, but not just because of his son.

** As for Cat, she's now taking four tracks at once so her sleeves are now half red, half yellow, while her leggings are half dark blue, half cyan. She's also started wearing her headband full time and is using her all-jean outfit for recruiting members into the Human Appreciation Society.

** As mentioned above, why was Cross recruited?

* WhamEpisode

** The Grim Goblin's speech to Emily combines lines spoken by [[ComicBook/NormanOsborn The Green Goblin]] in ''WesternAnimation/SpectacularSpiderMan'' and ''Film/SpiderMan1'' with ComicBook/TheJoker's speech in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker''.

** The Grim Goblin's speech to Emily has a part of [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker the Joker's speech to Batman (Bruce Wayne)]].

A golden opportunity awaits, as Willow and Skara start their Flyer Derby team while St. Epiderm has a special visitor...

* AdaptationalKarma: Willow suffered no consequences for using Luz as her abomination and getting Amity's top student badge in "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E3IWasATeenageAbomination I Was a Teenage Abomination]]". But here, Willow got in trouble for using Hunter because his PaperThinDisguise failed.

* BatmanGambit: Since Lindsay's been suspecting Cross of being the new Golden Guard, Adrian has Emily lead the St. Epiderm recruitment drive as the Golden Guard so they can appear in two places at once. It goes off without a hitch, everyone else not even suspecting they're connected. Of course, it just helps confirm Emily's the new guard to LOWTH.

* GenderBenderName: One of the opponents faced by the Emerald Entrails is a girl named Bob.

** Mattholomule has now replaces Gus as president of the Human Appreciation Society.
