In the Emperor's Castle, Lilith is having a conversation with Kikimora. She promises with Kikimora that she will capture Eda soon.
The next day, the Emperor's Coven, led by Lilith, attempts a raid on the Owl House to capture Eda; they are utterly beaten and humiliated by Hooty. Eda laughs at their attempt and brags about how nothing and no one can get the better of her, except maybe her curse. As if on cue, the curse suddenly begins taking over Eda's body. While Luz and King deal with the Owl Beast, Eda finds herself in a dreamscape recreation of the night she was cursed. When she sees the shadowy figure, she voices annoyance with the continued mystery and demands that the shadow reveal its face. Before she could get a good look at the unknown individual who cursed her, she awakes to Luz and King with numerous empty bottles of elixir covering the floor. The curse, having continued to become stronger, partially darkened Eda's gem. Luz worries for her, but Eda reassures Luz to not be so worried and sends Luz off to school.
The students of Hexside are being taken on a field trip to the Emperor's Castle. At first, Luz doesn't intend to go, given how much trouble the Emperor's Coven had caused Eda, but she changes her mind when Willow and Gus reveal to her that the Emperor is in possession of a magical hat that can cure any curse.
Upon arrival at the castle, the students are led on a tour by Kikimora, who educates them about Emperor Belos and how he and the Boiling Isles came to be where they are today, as well as showing them many of the rooms in the castle and many priceless objects that belong to the emperor. Luz notices Lilith is about to meet the emperor, so she breaks from the group and follows Lilith. She sees Lilith enter the emperor's throne room and peeks in through the keyhole. She sees Lilith promise to him that she would capture Eda as soon as possible, or she'll be kicked out of the Emperor's Coven.
As the Hexside field trip group is leaving, Luz stays behind so that she could get the hat. As she is about to make her way to the relic room, she is met with Willow and Gus who reveal that they had found out about Eda�s curse from notes that Luz had left unattended and wanted to help Luz get the hat. Together, they pass the guards and enter the relic room. While trying to steal the hat, they are discovered by Lilith and Luz is captured. Lilith sees this as just the weakness she needed that she could exploit against Eda. Lilith orders Willow and Gus to notify Eda about Luz being captured.
Once Eda receives the message that Lilith captured Luz and is challenging her to a witches duel, she immediately thunders into the castle in a more extreme display of magic than she has ever displayed in the known past.
During a trade of insults in the midst of the duel, Lilith accidentally reveals that she was the one who cursed Eda. While Eda and Lilith are fighting, Luz manages to break free from the magic bubble put around her by Lilith. Lilith laughs as she points out to Luz that the bubble was for her protection, and then proceeds to knock Luz off the bridge and down into the pit of spikes below. Eda saves Luz, at the cost of her using up all her magic and transforming into the Owl Beast. Before succumbing to the curse, she gives Luz her last words and sends Owlbert to save Luz.
Eda, now transformed into the Owl Beast, is captured by Lilith. Lilith captures Owlbert as well and tells Luz "Go back to your world. This one's ours." Luz returns to the Owl House, where she is then happily greeted by Hooty and King, the latter asking what happened to Eda. Luz then bursts into tears, with both Hooty and King comforting her, as the episode ends with "To be continued. ".
" As Luz becomes more entrenched in the magical world, she finds herself at odds with the Emperor's oppressive regime and becomes determined to challenge his authority. Throughout the series, Luz and her friends encounter various adventures and face numerous dangers as they navigate the treacherous world of magic and attempt to overthrow the Emperor.
