Plot[]
Luz, King, and Hooty have returned to the Boiling Isles. They discover they are now wanted by the Emperor's Coven and the Owl House has been seized, with everything inside confiscated by the Coven Scouts. However, they learn that Eda and Lilith managed to escape, and left a map to where they are hiding; the Knee. There, they find Eda and Lilith in a cave, telling them about the Titan Trappers and King being a Titan. During the trio's absence, Eda and Lilith have been trying to come up with a plan to stop Belos and the Day of Unity, but have had no success, especially since they have no magic or allies. Eda continues to worry for Luz and King's safety and feels she needs to send them somewhere where they will be safe. She also opts not to tell Luz that they do not have a plan for the Day of Unity.
Eda asks what Luz and King would like to do with the time they have left, and Luz wishes to steal back King's favorite toy, Francois, from the possession of the Emperor's Coven. King, on the other hand, wishes to be left alone with his thoughts, as he is still processing everything that happened with the Titan Trappers. Luz and Eda fly to Bonesborough, and discover the whole town is busy preparing for the Day of Unity. Even the Coven Scouts are overly busy, which allows Luz and Eda to sneak past them, crudely disguised as scouts themselves. Completely deceived, the two get the key to the warehouse and split up. Suddenly, Eda overhears a Coven Scout speaking to Raine by crystal ball.
Meanwhile, King has wandered away from Lilith and Hooty, eventually bumping into Steve, who is is no longer a Coven Scout and has defected from the Emperor's Coven. Now he spends his days riding the Isles on his bike. King eagerly accepts his offer of a ride, and Steve drives him around the Isles, enjoying the sights and helping passersby. By evening, King and Steve settle by a burger restaurant with some food. As they eat, King recalls how he always wanted to have power and be feared by all, but now, he does not want to be seen as a monster, which Steve can relate to.
Back at the warehouse, Eda manages to contact Raine, and begs for them to take Luz and King to a safe place. However, Luz overhears and becomes upset, thinking that Eda is abandoning her. She tries to head back to the camp, but Eda, transformed into her harpy form, stands in her way. She tells Luz that she and King need to be taken to a safe place, but refusing to listen, Luz runs away in sheer fury. Eda easily catches up with her, but their cover is blown, and the Coven Scouts capture them. At this point, Eda, in tears, confesses the truth to Luz - they never had a plan to stop Belos or the Day of Unity.
Soon, it becomes apparent that Luz is to be taken to the Emperor, while Eda is to be taken to the Conformatorium for petrification. Luz tries to tell the Coven Scouts that Belos is a witch hunter and begs for Eda to fight back, but her cries are ignored. Luz is taken in a separate carriage, and when it stops, she jumps out and instantly prepares for a fight, only to discover she and Eda have been rescued by by Raine, Darius, and Eberwolf, along with Amber, Katya, Morton, Lilith, King, Hooty, and Steve. Luz learns that Darius was also suspicious about the Day of Unity, and when he heard Raine causing trouble, he had a feeling they were getting up to something. If it were not for him and Eberwolf, Raine would have been locked away, and now that they are not captured, they have a plan to impede the draining spell and the Day of Unity.
At the groups hideout, Eda presents Luz the palisman wood she and King stole for her, and encourages her to start carving her Palisman. Luz is hesitant at first, but starts carving with Eda's help.

- This episode aired on the same date as the series finale of Amphibia.
- When Eda suggests a safer, more fun heist, Luz tells her that they would if they had time for twenty more adventures; a humorous in-joke at the fact that each season is roughly 20 episodes.
- Said in-joke also provides a reference to the fact Season 3 is the final season and has been cut down to three hourlong specials.
- There are two days left till the Day of Unity.
- Luz begins carving her own Palisman.
- Steve is seen without his mask for the first time.
- Steve is also no longer a Coven Scout.
- Luz was going to be send to Belos if she was caught, meaning that Belos might have plans for her.
- Eda and Lilith learn King is a Titan.
- The Collector's prison resembles a Beast Ball, a type of Poké Ball from the Pokémon franchise.
- It is revealed the reason Darius and Eberwolf are rebelling against Belos is because they are suspicious on the Day of Unity.
- The secret code appears on one of the crates that Luz runs across while being chased by Eda. When translated, it says 'His'.
- In the flashback to the last episode, when Luz tells King that he's a Titan, a new line is added - "You're the son of the Boiling Isles".
- The full intro is played in this episode.
- Raine has renamed the Bards Against the Throne to the Covens Against the Throne (aka the CATs).
- Though Eda claims that she, Luz, King, Hooty, and Lilith have no allies, she forgot about Amity, Willow, and Gus who are friends of Luz and should be considered allies. Also, this happens around the time Hunter was warning Amity, Willow, Gus, and Hexside about the Draining spell.
