Five Things From: The Owl House 2×14, Reaching Out

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Five Things from. This time we will be looking back at season 2 episode 14 of The Owl House, Reaching Out. Which five things stood out and for what reasons? Let’s take a closer look…

1. What a List

Luz had a to do list at the beginning of the episode and let’s just say it was very adventurous. It contained, “make a new portal to the human realm, learn All the glyphs and essentially what boiled down to defeating the Emperor or at least getting some answers out of him”. A good to do list has at least some quick wins and more manageable goals. You need to be able to cross things off of it pretty regularly to stay motivated. 😅

2. No Beating around the Bush

He didn’t appear in this episode in the flesh, but the short cameo via the wizard messaging app got the Golden Guard a spot in this article. When Luz straight up asked him if he was leaving the Emperor’s Coven and was “good now”, he unsurprisingly did not give her a straight answer. The likelihood of that working was minute surely. She did get a cute picture of his Palismen even if he did send it to her by mistake. And no, that is not a euphemism.

3. Jewels

Both of Amity’s siblings had concealment jewels that created an illusion over them so that they appear more conventionally attractive. Surely this does not help with self-esteem and self-love for the young adult in the Boiling Isles. You have to imagine that so many of the teens use them at school and it is everybody presenting a façade rather than showing people their true self. Either that or it just helps with people who can’t be bothered to groom and dress in the morning.

4. Fighter Names

We didn’t see too much of the Bonesborough Brawl but we did get to see both Luz and Amity compete a little bit. Luz’s opponent has to win the award for best fighter name though as he was referred to as “The Flexecutioner”. What a name, flexing those muscles whilst executing folk.

5. Sweet Ending

The end of the episode was quite poignant as we learnt that it was the anniversary of Luz’s father passing away. Her and Amity shared a sweet moment at the end and we saw Luz’s mum remembering the anniversary too. The episode ended their on a sad note which still left you with a little smile on your face. Unexpected but sweet.

Five Things From: The Owl House 2×12, Elsewhere and Elsewhen

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Five Things From. This time we are looking back at season 2 episode 12 of The Owl House, Elsewhere and Elsewhen. Which five things stood out and for what reasons? Lets take a closer look…

1. Boards

We got a look at a notice board of sorts in Luz’s room which had a selection of various pictures, notes and messages. As well as a thoughtful message from King about remembering to drink water (he put blood first but then crossed it out), we saw that Luz needed to buy Amity a new glove…just one? Can you buy them not in a pair?

2. What’s in a name

Two points combined into one here regarding names. First of all, since when had Lilith gone by the nickname Lulu? I genuinely was sat thinking “who is this woman?” before realising that it was actually Lilith. The second part related to an elder witch known as “Flora D’esplora”. Luz said that she had questions about her name and I’m pretty sure it is the same as mine: did she steal that name from Dora the Explorer?

3. Revel Responsibly

While looking through a time pool (a much better name than a time puddle), Luz spotted a Viking group looking to revel so hard with one mentioning revelling themselves to death…whatever that means. However, later in the episode Luz takes a Viking helmet from  a skeleton. Was it the same guy? Did he actually revel himself to death? It that’s true then we all need to be very careful with ourselves!

4. Philip

Luz and Lilith met the explorer (Philip) and after this episode, he surely has to be either the Emperor or linked to the Titan in some way. He couldn’t contain his villainous betrayal though as he had to write about it immediately in his journal. If he would have kept it to himself for just a little bit longer then Luz would have been none the wiser!

5. Plot Twist

I was very surprised that since the show was doing a time travel episode, they didn’t go down the road of having them get seemingly trapped in the past or at least overtly tease it. They didn’t need to and I’m not saying that they should have but it just surprised me that it didn’t happen.
