7	----
8	!!This fanfic provides examples of:
9	* AchievementsInIgnorance: While sulking after [[spoiler:her talk with Gwendolyn]], Luz accidentally creates a glyph that absorbs light which leaves her room in total darkness.
10	* AdaptationalBadass: For some reason, despite being away from the BackgroundMagicField of the Demon Realm while in Amphibia, Luz can still use her glyphs. She initially thinks that it's because of Owlbert, but later evidence contradicts that theory.
11	* AdaptationalExplanation: As it turns out, [[spoiler:Masha was sent to Reality Check Camp because their parents didn't take their coming out well, wanting them to "learn traditional gender roles" there.]]
12	* AdaptationalKarma:
13	** [[spoiler:Because of Belos using the Calamity cannon to blow up the Knee, Odalia is caught in the blast and is completely eradicated.]]
14	** [[spoiler:Kikimora and most of the loyalist Coven Heads are slaughtered by King Andrias when he begins to invade the Boiling Isles.]]
15	* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:Hunter]] is put in this category as since Luz was in Amphibia, [[spoiler:there was nobody to stop him from delivering the Palismen nest to Emperor Belos.]]
16	* AdaptationExpansion: General Yunan's past, how she ascended the ranks of the Newtopian Army and defeated Ragnar the Wretched, are given in great detail.
17	* AdaptationNameChange: As the chapter came out before the confirmation, Mary (the ram-horned girl in the Abomanation track) becomes known as Miranda.
18	* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
19	** Maddie becomes closer with everyone due to her friendship with Luz, contradicting how she's rarely seen with Anne, Sprig and Marcy in ''Amphibia'' after becoming friends with them.
20	** In ''The Owl House'', Skara never interacts with Luz and doesn't speak to Amity after she stops hanging out with Boscha and her gang. Here Skara's interactions with Willow and Gus after joining the Emerald Entrails allows her to get on friendlier terms with Luz and Amity.
21	** Boscha is more hostile towards Luz and her friends because of Amity hanging out with Luz and Willow, Skara joining the flyer derby team, and Amelia cutting ties with her because she keeps picking on Willow.
22	* AdaptationSpeciesChange: [[spoiler:Luz starts out as still being human but by the end of Act 1, she's now part Titan due to the Boiling Isles Titan enhancing her body.]]
23	* AdaptedOut: Due to Anne mistaking Andrias's puzzle-gram as an attack and launching the arrow back in the direction it came, pretty much all of "[[Recap/AmphibiaS2E12ScavengerHunt Scavenger Hunt]]" doesn't happen.
24	* AffectionateNickname: Willow begins to start calling Amity "Ami" after she returns to school.
25	* AnArmAndALeg: In Chapter 32, [[spoiler:Sasha]] loses one of her arms while dueling [[spoiler:Anne, but it's soon reversed when Anne and Maddie heal it in the Source.]]
26	* TheApprentice: [[spoiler:Maddie becomes Valeriana's apprentice at the end of "Next"]].
27	* AscendedExtra:
28	** Maddie becomes a much more prominent character as she bonds with Luz over her use of magic and travels with her to Newtopia to find a way to travel between worlds.
29	** Skara has a bigger role here than she does in the actual show, even becoming part of the Hexsquad.
30	* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: It turns out that when [[spoiler:the Titans]] die, their bodies are left behind but their spirits do this. [[spoiler:A piece the Boiling Isles Titan's spirit resides in the Source, which was made from its blood and the minerals in the ground.]]
31	* TheBabyOfTheBunch: To her disappointment, Anne discovers she's the youngest of her human friends after learning Luz is almost 15.
32	* BatmanGambit: Two occur in Chapter 32:
33	** General Yunan tries to prevent the war against the frogs and the toads by [[spoiler:threatening to kill Braddock unless Grime surrenders. Though Grime complies, Yunan kills her anyway and it leads to Beatrix suggesting using her death to motivate his soldiers, which works]].
34	** Later, Marcy plays one of her own by [[spoiler:forcing Anne and Sasha to fight alone until one of them dies or Ben or Grime calls off the duel. The moment Sasha loses an arm, Grime relents]].

36	* BirthdayEpisode:
37	** "Chapter 10: Gotcha" is set on King Andrias' birthday.
38	** PlayedWith in "Chapter 39: Gray", which is set on Luz's birthday. [[spoiler:However, Luz is unaware of this since she lost track of time for Earth since Anne has her phone, and Vee (who's on Earth impersonating her) celebrates it with her friends from Reality Check Camp.]]
39	* BreakTheCutie:
40	** Marcy has been taking a lot of emotional turmoil: she confesses to Anne that she intentionally got them and Sasha stranded in Amphibia after hearing that [[spoiler:Anne nearly killed Sasha]], her meeting with Sasha ends with Sasha accusing her and Anne of trying to forget about her and she becomes distraught upon learning General Yunan found the Source and [[spoiler:tried to kill Luz on King Andrias' orders.]]
41	** [[spoiler:Luz, the Blight sisters and Alador are left in crippling sadness after Edric's death.]]
42	* BreakThemByTalking: Sasha uses this tactic on Luz in "Chapter 4: A Happy Happening", berating her for ruining her party and her reunion with her best friend and all while not knowing how she came to Amphibia to begin with, along with accusing Luz of scrounging off of Anne's hospitality. This causes Luz to run off in tears and [[NiceJobFixingItVillain ends up cementing her distrust of Sasha.]]
43	* BreatherEpisode: Chapter 24, appropriately named "A Normal Day", focuses on Luz wanting to go one day with some normalcy as she returns to Hexside.
44	* BridalCarry:
45	** In her overexcitement from General Yunan taking her to see Anne, Marcy falls off of Joe Sparrow in midair causing Anne to catch her in her arms. She holds Marcy this way for a few more seconds before putting her down.
46	** [[spoiler:After escaping from Darius, Willow carries Luz this way during the Emerald Entrails walk to the Owl House.]]
47	* CallBack: In Chapter 4, Luz calls for a high-five with Sprig, who uses his tounge which causes Luz to say "gross". This was Anne's reaction back in [[Recap/AmphibiaS1E01AnneOrBeast "Anne or Beast?"]].
48	** In "Ghosts (Part 1)" Luz gets sick from eating ice cream cake. She revealed she was lactose-intolerant in [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E16EnchantingGromFright "Enchanting Grom Fright"]]. She later mentions facing Grometheus the Fear Bringer with Amity.
49	* TheChessmaster: Belos proves to be this against Andrias and the Core [[spoiler:in the Act 2 finale; knowing of their arrival and invasion ahead of time, he allows them to take all the witches of the Boiling Isles for experimentation in exchange for one of the Calamity Gems. To show he's not to be underestimated or bluffing, he effortlessly takes control of the Calamity Cannon and uses it to obliterate the Knee, forcing them to relent.]]
50	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Luz fails to see that [[spoiler:Marcy's]] flustered reaction to [[spoiler:seeing Anne again]] is because [[spoiler:Marcy has a crush on her]], to which Maddie rolls her eyes.
51	* CommonalityConnection: Luz bonds with both Maddie and Marcy over the use of magic, and bonds more with the latter over their shared interest in the "Good Witch Azura" and "Cynthia Coven" books.
52	* CrushBlush: [[spoiler:Anne and Marcy]] have feelings for each other and often sport these as a result. And as always, Amity does this around Luz, [[spoiler:who gets these after she asks Amity out.]]

59	** "Chapter 23: The Stories of Sandy Towers" goes back to Amphibia, centering on Marcy and General Yunan meeting with Sasha and Captain Grime to discuss the issues regarding the rebellion. Yunan also reveals her backstory in joining the Newtopian Army.
60	* DeadGuyOnDisplay: [[spoiler:Like the other petrified witches, Belos displays Eda's body. However, he puts her in the middle of Bonesborough to establish his control over the Isles.]]
61	* DeathByAdaptation:
62	** As the story's opening statement reveals Eda, King and Lilith were all petrified because Luz wasn't there to save them.
63	** [[spoiler:Braddock]] ends up dying at General Yunan's claws in a rather impulsive attempt to [[spoiler:prevent a war between the frogs and toads]].

65	** Several coven heads perish when [[spoiler:Andrias storms the Emperor's castle, with [[VillainsWantMercy Kikimora being crushed under his boot as she begs for mercy]].]]
66	* DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler:Because of Vee impersonating Luz on Earth, Andrias is completely caught off guard when he sees Luz in the Demon Realm as he begins to invade the Isles.]]
67	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Yunan forces Grime to [[spoiler:call off the war or she'd kill Braddock, and does so anyway despite his surrendering]]. Beatrix tells Grime to [[spoiler:use Braddock's death to motivate his soldiers so they'll fight harder in the war]], and Yunan realizes too late that what she did was overkill.
68	* DisneyDeath:
69	** [[spoiler:Sasha kills Hop Pop by stabbing him in the back. Thanks to the regeneration glyph Maddie created, his body is stabilized long enough for her and Luz to bring him to the Source and completely bring him back to life.]]

71	* DistractedByTheSexy: As Viney explains to Skara, she decided against joining Hexside's swimming club because her crush [[spoiler:Emira Blight]] is taking it and seeing her in her swimsuit would cause Viney to drown from staring at her.
72	* DueToTheDead:
73	** [[spoiler:Upon seeing Eda's petrified statue and the plaque warning people not to engage in wild magic, Luz changes the wording so it labels Eda as a beacon of hope.]] [[spoiler:Several people write their own messages, including Gwendolyn.]]

76	** [[spoiler:Sasha and Grime hold a funeral for Braddock, although it's also meant to motivate the toad soldiers into taking the war seriously.]]
77	* EveryoneCanSeeIt: It seems Willow believed that Amity's feelings to Luz were obvious to everyone but the girl herself and Gus. While this is true for the Blight twins, Skara admits she never even noticed when Willow tells her.
78	* EyeScream: Taking a direct punch from [[spoiler:an angry Anne after unlocking her Calamity powers]] renders Sasha blind in one eye. [[spoiler:This gets negated in "Chapter 32: Their Last Fight" when using the regeneration glyph charged with Anne's Calamity power within the Source restores Sasha's eye in addition to healing her [[AnArmAndALeg severed arm]].]]
79	* FailedASpotCheck: Willow had to point out that Amity has a crush on Luz to Gus, despite Amity practically blurting it out to him.
80	* FormulaBreakingEpisode: Chapter 18 is told entirely using Yunan's Expedition Journal, with her logging her experiences while searching for The Source.
81	* {{Glamour}}: So Luz can return to Hexside without being arrested, Gus creates an illusion of an abomination track demon student over her so she can walk around in public. Building on this, Principal Bump gives her a concealment stone with the same appearance embedded in a bracelet.

85	** Principal Bump's family are skilled jewelers and he retained the skills despite not taking over his family's business.
86	** In Chapter 33, [[spoiler:Skara]] joins the rebellion not just out of boredom, but because she's sick of her ostentatious lifestyle provided by her parents who are never around, making her want to do something for those less fortunate than her.

87	* HistoryRepeats: Just like on her first day in the Boiling Isles, Luz ends up breaking Katya out of the Conformatorium [[spoiler:as she, Amity, and Boscha's mother Alsa try to [[GreatEscape rescue all the captured members of the resistance]], which leads to them freeing the Bards Against the Throne in the process.]]

Willow tells Skara about Amity's crush on Luz, and Luz tells them everything about her time in Amphibia. While [[spoiler:going to see Eda]], Luz and Amity exchange stories about Amity befriending Hooty, Luz [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E10EscapeOfThePalisman reclaiming Owlbert from the Bat Queen]], [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E6HuntingPalismen who enacted Palisman Adoption Day with Principal Bump]] and [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E11FolliesAtTheCovenDayParade Belos announcing the Day of Unity and revealing his face to the Isles]].

113	* JumpedAtTheCall: [[spoiler:After Luz admits she joined the rebellion, Amity immediately decides to join as well, proving how serious she is about being by Luz's side for whatever she faces.

125	* LockedOutOfTheLoop:
126	** No one in the Demon Realm knew what happened to Luz, which makes all her friends believe Belos somehow tricked her into going back to the Human Realm until she returns. Her return to the Demon Realm means that her friends in Amphibia are now left wondering what happened to her ([[spoiler:at least until Valeriana informs them]]). [[spoiler:Not to mention her mother has no idea the girl currently living with her is a shapeshifting demon impersonating her.]]

135	** Chapters 33 and 34: Mittensday.
136	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:

The first to occur is from [[spoiler:Gwendolyn, who accuses Luz of stealing Owlbert and squatting in the Owl House only to see how much Luz misses Eda and how close Owlbert is with her.]] At the same time, [[spoiler:[[WhatTheHellHero Emira lays into Amity for nearly getting herself killed at the Brawl]] and when she goes to see Luz, Amity realizes she's caused Luz to doubt her feelings by [[IgnoredExpert ignoring her warnings]] and apologizes for not backing out.]]
138	** In Chapter 41, Boscha [[spoiler:put the remaining students in danger by helping Graye locate them. She initially doesn't care until Amity points out Cat got seriously hurt when they broke down the door to the Healing homeroom. The moment she sees Cat's unconscious form with a broken arm bending the wrong way, Boscha's overcome with guilt and collapses to her knees begging Cat to wake up.]]
139	* MythologyGag: The story has references to ''Creator/{{Moringmark}}'', like most other ''Owl House'' fics;
140	** Chapter 29: first, Amity mentions first developing her magic [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qbc57a/moringmark_little_amity/ while Emira was babysitting her as kids]]. The second is how [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rm6o3d/teamwork/ Luz creates lightning bolts]] [[spoiler:on her hands when creating a light spell with her natural magic]].
141	** Chapter 35: The Blight family [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/676896075311906816 calls their abomination butler Abdel, and it's noted that Edric still has the bunk bed he and Emira shared before she moved into her own room]].
142	* NamedByTheAdaptation: The pufferfish student from the abomination track is known as Eric.
143	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:The Titan asks Luz to save its only remaining descendant after controlling her magic, who as we know from "Edge of the World" is King.]] It was because of [[spoiler:the Titan]] sending Luz away from the Demon Realm that [[spoiler:King wound up being petrified.]]
144	* NoodleIncident: Two weeks before Luz came back to the Demon Realm, Amity had found the basement to the Owl House. Hooty, having gone through his phase of trying to help people, kidnapped Emira and trapped her there.
145	* ObliviousToLove: Not only is Luz completely unaware of Amity's crush on her, she also can't see that [[spoiler:Marcy]] has a crush on [[spoiler:Anne]] (although she did figure out it was mutual and considered ''[[HypocriticalHumor them]]'' to be oblivious to how much they adore each other). [[spoiler:It wasn't until she thought about it more after Amity invites her to the Bonesborough Brawl that she figures out the truth and realized her own feelings]].
146	* OddFriendship: With Lilith KIA, it's Amity who develops one with Hooty, visiting him once a week to keep him company due to Eda and King's deaths.
147	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
148	** Willow and Amity suspect something happened to Luz after the Clawthornes are petrified and she ''doesn't'' show up to save them.
149	** Luz and Amity ''[[ClusterFBomb swearing]]'' is enough to raise some concern.
150	* OutsideContextProblem: Luz's arrival and her glyph magic are completely unexpected by literally everyone InUniverse, [[spoiler:even throwing off Andrias and the Core]].
151	* PajamaCladHero: "Ghosts" (Parts 1 & 2), the take on "The Sleepover to End All Sleepovers", still has Anne, Sprig and Marcy wearing the same pajamas as canon. The Plantars buy Luz a set for the sleepover (a light gray plain shirt and purple pajama pants) and she gets sent back to the Boiling Isles in said clothes, which is continuously brought up by her friends afterwards.
152	* PetTheDog:
153	** After Amity ends up at the Owl House and brings Hooty up to speed on everything, he goes to Hexside to tell Willow where Amity is.

154	** Following a conversation with Sasha that ends on a sour note, General Yunan takes Marcy to see Anne as she, the Plantars and Maddie as they're returning to Wartwood to cheer her up.
155	* PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure: Happens back-to-back in Chapters 38 and 39, as [[spoiler:Sasha stops speaking to Anne after getting back to Earth because she's angry that Grime turned himself in to protect her. At the same time, Anne believes she's had one with Luz who she thinks is pretending not to know her so she can forget about the Boiling Isles, when in reality it's someone else entirely.]]
156	* PointOfDivergence: Luz's unexpected arrival completely derails Sasha and Grime's plot for Hop Pop, and even leads to [[spoiler:Anne unlocking her Calamity Powers a ''full season'' earlier than in canon due to Sasha's murder attempt at Hop Pop]].
157	** With Luz and Maddie's help, Marcy drives out the barbari-ants a day before Anne and the Plantars arrive in Newtopia.
158	** Once Anne ends up telling Marcy all about this when they reunite due to feeling more resentful to Sasha, Marcy ends up confessing to Anne earlier than in canon and on her own terms out of guilt her involvement in intentionally sending her and Sasha to Amphibia due to fearing separation when faced with moving. Her doing so leads to a much better reaction from Anne, with her saying that while it might take some time for her to forgive her, she could never hate Marcy and makes it clear to her how important she is to her.
159	** As Luz had vanished from the Boiling Isles without a trace, Eda, King and Lilith lost their lives to petrification, while Amity ends up becoming depressed, befriends Hooty and confesses her crush on Luz to Willow. When her parents try to get Willow and Gus expelled, Amity immediately gets Odalia to take it back by threatening to sic Hooty on every abomination she owns and proves it.
160	** [[spoiler:Luz has been made part-Titan much sooner than in canon]].
161	** [[spoiler:Hunter's attempt to forcibly recruit the Emerald Entrails into the Emperor's Coven is hindered by Luz's sudden reappearance. His bringing up her bounty is what causes him to confess who he is and when he confronts Darius to free everyone, Luz sends out a strong shockwave that knocks Hunter and Darius off the airship (which gets destroyed) and the kids land in the forest.]]
162	** Amity got grounded before "Clouds on the Horizon" for standing up to Odalia and by the time it ends, it's the day before the Bonesborough Brawl. After inviting Luz to the event, [[spoiler:Luz figures out Amity has a crush on her and asks her out.]]
163	*** The Emperor's Coven tryouts aren't mentioned so Alador doesn't assign an abomaton to watch Amity, allowing her to participate in the Brawl and face Warden Wrath in the final round. Luz doesn't compete [[spoiler:but when Wrath nearly kills Amity, she blasts him across town so the referee declares her the winner.]]
164	** [[spoiler:Luz's deceased father]] wasn't brought up during the Bonesborough Brawl. And since [[spoiler:Luz was unable to try and contact her mother, Vee has been able to continue living on Earth as Luz with Camila none the wiser about her daughter's true whereabouts.]]
165	** Because of Luz's disappearance, [[spoiler:Hunter was successful at delivering the palismen to Belos.]]
166	** Losing both of her daughters has led Gwendolyn to [[spoiler:join the rebellion against Belos.]]
167	** [[spoiler:Marcy is among those that learned that Hop Pop buried the Calamity Box and Anne comes back on her own accord, but doesn't let Hop Pop explain himself.]]
168	** As the author points out in the comments of chapter 33, Luz's sudden reappearance right after [[spoiler:Willow's flyer derby match leads to Hunter being willing to imprison her and turn her in]]. This in turn ends up [[spoiler:straining Willow's opinion of him and torpedoing any chance at Hunter/Willow being a canon ship in the fic, with Willow being romantically paired with Skara instead.]]
169	** Since Lilith was petrified and thus, [[spoiler:didn't travel back in time with Luz and break Philip's nose, Belos no longer has the rotting band of wood that makes up the scar on his face. Plus, he found the light glyph and the Collector's mirror on his own, so there's no StableTimeLoop and Luz is pretty much expendable now.]]
170	** [[spoiler:Anne's issues with Hop Pop are omitted from the trip to the first temple.]]
171	** During Anne's fight with Valeriana, the latter leaves out her day out with Polly and snoring in favor of bringing up [[spoiler:her nearly killing Sasha. Additionally, nothing keeps Anne from fully charging the second Calamity Gem, so she loses her powers completely.]]
172	** Due to Sasha and Grime being fugitives among Frog Valley, Sasha doesn't end up participating in the Battle of the Bands with Anne and Marcy with the two performing "No Big Deal" without her.
173	** [[spoiler:Unable to put together the Toad rebellion, Grime turns himself in to Newtopian authorities so Sasha won't be punished; the news causes her to re-declare her hatred for the Plantars and run through a portal to Earth Andrias opens, forcing Anne to follow her. The Plantars leave Newtopia Castle after saying goodbye to Anne, and Andrias betrays Marcy soon after letting the Core possess her.]]
174	** Marcy is unable to [[spoiler:give Anne her journal, so it ends up in Darcy's clutches and they learn about Luz coming from the Boiling Isles as a result.]]
175	** [[spoiler:Vee finds out that Masha knew the truth about her from their first day at reality check camp.]]
176	** Luz takes part in the events of "Labyrinth Runners", during which [[spoiler:Boscha becomes the only Hexside student to be branded by Adrian (and willingly) and her actions lead to Cat being severely injured.]]
177	** [[spoiler:Andrias and the Core invade the Boiling Isles before they invade Earth; as Belos knew of this beforehand, he abandons the Day of Unity and allows the warlords to capture the witches of the Isles to use as lab rats for learning how their magic works.]]
178	* PoliceAreUseless: Chapter 39 shows that when the Calamity Trio went missing, [[{{Jerkass}} the police]] had NoSympathy, casually telling the Boonchuys that their daughter ran away and that they were better off planning her funeral.
179	* TheProphecy: In Chapter 33, Celine gives one to [[spoiler:Amity from Alador's grandmother Bludoria, who claims that Amity will suffer tragedy when "someone her heart longs for and someone it repels will be lost" and she won't be able to save either of them. Amity starts to become paranoid that this means Luz will die, but Luz tells her [[ScrewDestiny it's never going to happen]].]]
180	* ProperlyParanoid: Neither Luz nor Sprig trusted Sasha when they first meet her. Along with Sprig's paranoia about the party at Toad Tower from canon, Luz immediately senses that Sasha is like every other bully she dealt with back home. This leads to the two keeping an eye on Sasha when she [[spoiler:comes to Wartwood to kill Hop Pop.]]
181	** After seeing the way King Andrias looked at her for the first time, Luz becomes convinced that she shouldn't trust him because he reminds her of Belos. [[spoiler:This ends up being for good reason, as Andrias and the Core see her as a potential threat after learning she's been to the Source.]]
182	** While heading to the Source to find Luz, Anne can't help feeling that someone's following the group which Sprig brushes off. It later turns out to be Valeriana following them, and Anne takes the time to briefly gloat about being right.
183	* ARareSentence: After a month away from the Boiling Isles Luz admits she'll be glad to see everyone at Hexside again, admitting she even missed Boscha.
184	-->'''Amity:''' (''incredulously'') No way...
185	-->'''Luz:''' Oh yeah, it's true. Even though I think I'll regret that sentence when I actually meet her later.
186	* RelationshipUpgrade:
187	** Subverted in [[spoiler:"The First of Many?": Amity asks Luz if she wants to be girlfriends before passing out from exhaustion, but Luz finds she can't give an answer.]] It's {{double subverted}} in [[spoiler:the first segment of Chapter 29, with Luz finally saying yes to Amity's question.]]
188	** [[spoiler:Anne and Marcy get together in "Things Change: Part 2" when Anne confesses to Marcy that she never wants to risk losing her again.]]
189	* {{Retcon}}: Originally Marcy was stated to be the youngest member of the Calamity Trio in "Ghost: Part 1" but with the early spoilers for ''Marcy's Journal'' revealing she's the oldest member, it was changed to Anne.
190	* TheReveal:
191	** "Chapter 2: Adaptation" shows that Hop Pop has some knowledge, or at the very least, is aware of the existence of the Boiling Isles.
192	** [[spoiler:Luz reveals to Anne and the Plantars in "Chapter 13: Reunion - Second Try" that there's another Calamity Box in the basement of the Owl House. And like Anne's, the gems in the second box are currently gray.]]
193	** "Chapter 20: Ghosts [Part 2]" drops a lot of important information; namely, it was [[spoiler:the spirit of the Titan]] that sent Luz to Amphibia. [[spoiler:Having AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence, it brought her there because it saw her life was in danger and needed to tell her about how both King Andrias and the human parasite who abused its power will destroy all worlds. In addition, the Source turns out to be the cave of crystals Luz and Maddie revived Hop Pop in; its importance to King Andrias and the Core is because it was made from Titan's Blood, which leaked into other worlds and the Calamity Gems came from the Source. And lastly, the person who attacked General Yunan and made her forget its location was Luz possessed by the Titan's animal companion.]]
194	** "Catching Up" shows that [[spoiler:Luz can now repel magic herself without her witch's wool cape, Gwendolyn is part of the resistance that Lilith's statue has been placed in front of her parents' home.]] It's also mentioned that [[spoiler:the Golden Guard succeeded in capturing the Bat Queen's palismen and bringing them to the Emperor to consume.]]
195	** "Next" shows that [[spoiler:Valeriana]] is in possession of the [[spoiler:fourth Calamity Gem.]]
196	* RippleEffectProofMemory: [[spoiler:The Collector has this, as they are surprised to see Belos without his scar.]]
197	* SecretRelationship:
198	** [[spoiler:Viney and Emira]] have been dating in secret, and [[spoiler:Emira]]'s done such a good job of hiding it not even [[spoiler:Edric]] knows who she's going out with.
199	** [[spoiler:After getting together, Anne and Marcy agree to wait a bit before telling the Plantars they're now dating.]]
200	* SecurityCling: Willow pulls [[spoiler:the at-the-time catatonic]] Luz into her arms when the Emerald Entrails are taken aboard Darius' airship, and holds her even tighter when the ship goes down.
201	* ShipTease:
202	** It becomes clear that [[spoiler:Anne and Marcy]] have feelings for each other; they both missed one another after being apart for so long with [[spoiler:Anne refusing to hate Marcy for intentionally stranding them in Amphibia, and Marcy calling Anne the most important person in her life.]]
203	** [[spoiler:Willow and Skara are implied to be developing feelings for each other.]]
204	* ShoutOut:
205	** Marcy remarks that she's kind of like [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Hawkeye]] in regards to using [[TrickArrow Trick Arrows]].
206	** Anne comments that Newtopia reminds her of the walls of Ba Sing Se, having watched ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' with Marcy a while back.
207	* SideBet: Edric and Emira had been betting on whether Amity would be able to ask Luz out or the other way around. [[spoiler:Emira wins 40 snails since Luz asked Amity out and]] Amity is not pleased to learn they've been holding it since the "library incident", much less so when it's implied that Willow took part in it.
208	* SpannerInTheWorks: Luz's unexpected arrival completely derails Sasha and Grime's plot for Hop Pop, and even leads to [[spoiler:Anne unlocking her Calamity Powers a ''full season'' earlier than in canon]].
209	* ThereIsAnother: According to [[spoiler:the Titan's spirit]], there is a [[spoiler:fourth Calamity Gem and a warrior linked to it]] somewhere in Amphibia. It instructs Luz to find them when [[spoiler:she returns after honing her newly acquired magical abilities.]]
210	* ThereIsOnlyOneBed:
211	** While they are under house arrest at Newtopia Castle, Maddie manages to convince Luz to share a bed with her because Maddie doesn't need much space. Previously, they shared a room at Iva's, but slept on separate mattresses.
212	** Chapter 17 opens on Anne waking up [[spoiler:and getting flustered]] after spending the night sleeping in Marcy's bed at the castle.
213	* TwirlOfLove: [[spoiler:Right after Luz asks her out and she says yes, Amity pulls her into a hug and they spin around for a bit.]]
214	* TwitchyEye: Viney's right eye has an uncontrollable one when she meets Hooty for the first time.
215	* TwoLinesNoWaiting: Act 2 of the story shifts between the Boiling Isles and Amphibia.
216	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Since Anne is unaware Vee has replaced Luz on Earth, the basilisk is terrified when Anne calls and mentions Belos, warning her to never speak to her again. With all that Anne suffered through on her first two days back, this convinces her that 'Luz' is trying to forget about her, robbing her of any hope that she could get back to Amphibia and still had friends who could help her. This also puts Anne at great risk of committing SelfHarm.]]
217	* VignetteEpisode: Some chapters are titled "Short Stories" and feature three such tales;
218	** Chapter 8: "Large Spaces", which shows Luz and Maddie exploring [[spoiler:the abandoned factories]], "Lessons" has Maddie give Luz a crash course on the glyph combos she found, and "Losses" shows Sasha in the middle of her recovery.
219	** "Chapter 29: The Titan, the Couple and the Toad" each revolve around [[spoiler:Luz and the Calamity Trio attempting to figure out how figure out how they can all control their respective magic powers.]]
220	%%* WarArc
221	* WhamEpisode:
222	** The third segment of Chapter 8 reveals Sasha is suffering from amnesia after [[spoiler:her last confrontation with Anne]]. Grime then gives her [[spoiler:the portal key, which Luz dropped when she arrived in Amphibia.]]
223	** "Ghosts: Part 2" has [[spoiler:the Titan enhance Luz's body so she can act as its helper to save both worlds, allowing her the option to undo the changes afterwards. Said changes will give her magic but destroy the Source and thus, the part of the Titan's soul in Amphibia. It then sends her back to the Demon Realm instructing her to master her abilities so she can travel between worlds and once she returns to Amphibia, she must find the [[ThereIsAnother fourth Calamity warrior]] then Valeriana and destroy the gems and the temples.]]
224	** Chapter 29 has [[spoiler:Luz figuring out how to use her magic by summoning glyphs and agreeing to be Amity's girlfriend, Anne and Marcy sharing their FirstKiss and unlocking their Calamity powers with Anne officially becoming the leader of the frog rebellion, and Sasha being revealed to have unlocked her own powers and making plans with Grime to show up Beatrix at the upcoming negotiations with the rebellion. On lesser notes, Skara has ended her friendship with Boscha, Luz finds she can't contact Lilith in the spirit world, and Polly learns about Anne and Marcy's SecretRelationship to which Anne remarks that she'll tell everyone about them.]]
225	** Chapter 40 has a bunch for a VignetteEpisode: [[spoiler:Sasha has returned to her father's estate, Marcy has been possessed by the Core, the Plantars return to Wartwood where Sprig figures out Andrias has malicious intentions while Hop Pop is left confused about what to do, Darcy plans on scoping out the Boiling Isles before invading Earth due to learning where Luz originated from before coming to Amphibia, and Vee discovers that Masha (who comes out to them), knows she's not Luz and agrees to keep her secret.]]
226	* YouRemindMeOfX:
227	** Somewhat parodied. Seeing the guest room Iva provides for her and Maddie, Luz tears up and tells the frog that it looks exactly like Amity's secret study in Bonesborough Library.
228	** Later played straight when Marcy confesses to Luz that she reminds her a bit of Anne, in that they both always put their friends' well-beings first when they need it.
