Chapter 6: Emotional Guilt
Art by Crash X Fusion: Just a tip: it wasn't Eda who wrote that note.
The physical and emotional dangers in the Owl House continues to rise.
Tropes that appear in this Chapter:
- Adaptational Early Appearance: Odalia Blight makes her presence known in "The Intruder" rather than "Understanding Willow", and she appears in the present instead of a flashback.
- Armor-Piercing Question: King gives three to Luz after seeing the scratch on her arm and chewing her out for running off without a plan.King: What were you thinking, running off like that!? What if you were killed!? Dang it, Luz! When are you going to learn that you can't just act on impulse and think how others feel about your safety for once?! I don't want to see you get hurt again!
- Battle in the Center of the Mind: Amity begins to have one over telling her parents about her mugging which would get her reprimanded for not being strong enough to prevent it.
- Big Brother Instinct: King reveals the reason he doesn't want Luz to handle the elixirs is because he refuses to take the chance of Eda attacking her in Owl Beast form and being unable to stop her. She reassures him she can handle her own, but is grateful for his concern.
- The Cameo: Amity appears at the end of the chapter at home.
- Dope Slap: Luz playfully flicks King when he says she'll probably forget the lesson she just learned.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Odalia Blight makes a brief vocal appearance.
- Foreshadowing King's worries about letting Luz handle the elixir receive more depth later on.
- Heroic BSoD: Luz has one when her first plan to turn Eda back to normal backfires, leading her to break down over how everything she did at school has put her at risk of being taken away from Eda.
- Ignored Epiphany: Implied. Even though Luz admits she needs to learn not to act without thinking, King believes that lesson will fall into this because of her one track mind.
- "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: With her arm scratched and the elixir blocked from her reach, Luz talks to the Owl Beast in hopes of reaching her mother and keeping her from hurting Luz.
- Internal Reveal: Luz finally learns Eda left her under King's care when she was a baby.
- Luminescent Blush: The Snagglebeast after Luz kisses his cheek for finding the elixir supply.
- Multi-Part Episode: The first of the series, it covers the second half of "The Intruder".
- No More for Me: Frank, the guy Eda got her baby toys from in Philadelphia, decides to lay off the scotch he's drinking after seeing Eda disappear through the portal.
- Oh, Crap!: Luz and King have this reaction when the Owl Beast bursts through the wall that had the Light glyph on it.
- Point of Divergence: Odalia vocally debuts at the end of "The Intruder" rather than the flashback appearance in "Understanding Willow".
- The Voice: As said in Early-Bird Cameo, Odalia just speaks. She isn't physically seen.
