[Open on the Owl House as Hooty uses the typewriter.]

Hooty: Dearest Lulu, I hope this letter finds you well, and that you're enjoying your time with your parents. I'm writing to let you know, that I am a genius! Whenst I wrote you last, I was in the throes of a malaise. That's when I got your letter!

[Flashback to Hooty reading Lilith's letter at night.]

Lilith: [Narrating.] Hello, Hootsifer. Your letter concerned me. You write of feeling unimportant while Luz, Lena, Eda, and King are off on adventures.

[Hooty looks up to see his friends' silhouettes in Eda's room, Lena looking up at the stars, Luz leaving with King in her arms before Eda turns off the light.]

Lilith: But, Hooty, you are the Owl House. You take care of everyone inside you. If that isn't a worthy purpose, then what is?

[Hooty coos softly and enters the living room, where everyone is situated on the couches.]

Hooty: How we doin', Hoot House?

King: Can you keep it [His voice cracks.] down? [Adjusts his voice.] Down! [Does it again.] Down! Why does this keep happening?

Hooty: [Approaches King.] Sounds like our little demon is becoming a "de-man"!

King: [Pushes Hooty away.] Ugh! Why does that sound so wrong coming from [Voice cracks again.] you? You! [Unintelligible angry noise.] I am done with this!

[King runs off.]

Hooty: Hahaha! [To Eda.] Those teens, eh? Their moods change like the wind.

[Eda lowers the paper she's holding up, revealing the shadows under her eyes, which are being kept open with clothespins.]

Hooty: [Taken aback.] Whoa!

Eda: I'm freaking out, Hooty. Belos is planning something big, and I'm weaker than a newborn . If I wanna protect you guys, I have to train as hard as I can to get strong! No rest!

Hooty: But every time you overwork yourself, you turn into the Owl Beast!

Eda: I said no rest!

[Eda blows an air horn and leaves, irritating Luz who's lying on the other couch with the echo mouse's terrarium in front of her and Lena who's lying on her sleeping bag.]

Luz: Can you please be quiet? You're scaring the echo mouse. And if he's not happy, I'll never make my way into Amity's heart. [Realizes what she just said, a flush spreads across her face.] I mean make a portal back home. Uh, we have to go.

[Luz picks up the terrarium and runs out of the room.]

Lena: I wanted to ask Hunter to go out with me while at the airship. How can I ask him out now?

[Lena turns out her light and sleeps for the night.]

Hooty: You were right, Lulu. These four needed my help. So I devised the plan of plans.

-Theme Song-

[Open back up to Hooty moving through the halls to the kitchen.]

Hooty: [Narrating.] Your words inspired me to help everyone, Lulu. So I'll start with King!

[King is shown on the table surrounded by several books.]

King: Maybe if I figure out what kind of demon I am, I'll know what's going on. [Swaps one book for another.] But nothing in here looks like me!
