'The Owl House' ending is another blow to LGBTQ people on TV Los Angeles Times

the owl house finale

Truly afraid, the Collector apologizes and shows empathy, causing him to cry for the first time over the chaos he has created and reacts in confusion to the tears he is producing. The Collector tries in vain to brush it off before Belos then slams the three of them with his hand. However, a purple light blasts through it and the three find themselves unharmed. Stringbean awakens and flies to the figure standing in the dust, parting to reveal Luz, who is now imbued with Titan magic, taking on Titan-like features.

Amity and the rest of Luz’s friends are shell-shocked in the moments before they rally. Most heartbreakingly, Luz’s mother Camila — who is still trapped in a frozen puppet form — sheds a tear. Amity Blight (voiced by Mae Whitman) is a student at Hexside; she is an abomination expert and works part-time at the Bonesborough Library. Initially, she appears to be an petty and cold-hearted top student, who bullies those she feels are inferior to her. This leads Luz to challenge her to a witches' duel, which will determine whether Luz will continue witch training. However, when Amity is exposed of cheating on Lilith's part, she runs off and lashes out at Luz, accusing her for humiliating her in front of the Emperor's Coven and embarrassing her at school, while lamenting how much pressure she puts on herself to be the best.

The kids notice other puppet victims, among which include Lilith and Camila, whom Gus attempts to free. However, Amity pauses for a moment, as she realizes Luz is not there with them. Luz activates the glyph and wakes up inside of a galaxy-like pocket dimension filled with toys.

The group travels to the throne room, where Belos is fused with the heart. Luz flies up to him and begins pulling Belos out, but Belos summons moldy tendrils to defend himself. Eda, King, and Raine help keep the mold at bay, while Luz continues her effort.

This makes him realize that Belos will soon have control over his entire body. This prompts him to offer his last bit of life to Luz, so she can defeat Belos. At first, she asks him whether he’s sure he wants to give the power to her, but he calls her a good witch and, with a hand full of glyphs, gifts her the last of his power. As King’s dad is talking over her, trying to tell her things to do or things to tell others, Luz is trying to interrupt him to ask him something.

Eda Clawthorne

He has acquired the ability to empower the glyphs again, creating a new language of glyph magic for Luz to master. In the ruins of the castle, Raine, Eda, and King pop out from the ash unharmed. Nearby, Luz looks on as the remnants of Belos' sludge slowly reconstruct into the form of Philip Wittebane, as he was when he first met Luz. In a last-ditch attempt at deception, "Philip" expresses gratitude, claiming that he was afflicted by a horrible curse from dark magic, attributing his actions to its influence warping his sense of right and wrong. Nonetheless, "Philip" insists that all he wants now is to make peace with her. As he says this, rain clouds form above them and the boiling rain starts melting "Philip" while Luz is unharmed.

There, the Collector notices Matt, Jerbo, and another student are hiding. The Collector flies down to them and offers to play grudgby together, but the students run away in terror. Disappointed, he asks the trio to take him somewhere different, and picks a photo of the Knee. They visit the Knee, which Luz states was where Eda helped Luz make a connection with the Isles. King clarifies Luz didn't force anything, and Luz explains people are complex, but sometimes it takes kindness and forgiveness.

Other characters

This leads The Collector to explain their backstory to the trio. Outside, Belos crash-lands at the entrance to his castle, Raine continuing to struggle against him. Raine musters enough strength to whistle a wave of bard magic that ejects Belos entirely. In the time Raine takes to recover, Belos escapes into the castle. Realizing what Belos plans to do, Raine follows him in and reaches the throne room armed with a violin. Belos' voice then echoes in the room asking Raine what the heart really is; subsequently, Belos emerges from the cracks on the ground and envelopes Raine in sludge as Belos' main body crawls to the heart.

Most of the emotional groundwork has already been laid this season. This episode uses all of that as a launchpad, catapulting Luz back to Eda and King as they save the day. Kikimora (voiced by Mela Lee) is Belos' minion and essentially his secretary, often fighting people or giving out orders.

I love where all the characters ended up after the time skip, especially everything Hunter related, and I love that they managed to get rid of the sigils. Outside of the show itself, I love that they managed to say goodbye to both The Collector and us at the same time. I will certainly be rewatching it, and hoping for more content in the future, whatever form it takes. Instead, we’re back in the Archives with the other kids and Camila, who has finally awoken from her puppet state.

Her answer comes from Amity, who tells her that everything is her fault because she helped Belos meet The Collector, and thus she is the true villain, and that it’s her job to take Luz down. She then pursues Luz, who, not wanting to fight her girlfriend, flees. On April 9th, 2023, “Watching and Dreaming” premiered, concluding the series. I’m sure we all wish it could have lasted longer, and I’m sure there are things we all wish could have been done if there was more time. However, I’m sure also that many, if not all of us, can agree that, despite the limitations Disney placed on the Owl House crew, this was a wonderful finale.

She, Eda, and King tell the Collector about their story, which means revisiting familiar haunts and recounting memories. It’s typical finale fare, giving both the characters and the audience one last romp through memory lane. With depleted powers and one grey eye each, they, Luz, and King are now essentially on the same level, up against a powerful force working on something deeply sinister (it looks like the door to the human world, but there’s a lot more construction occurring around it). It’s a little silly to think that Luz could legitimately re-teach Eda magic, partly because Luz still needs something physical to draw runes on, and partly because, as the show established, the inhabitants of the Boiling Isles function off of magically differently.

"Watching and Dreaming" is the third and final episode of the third season of The Owl House, and the forty-third episode overall, serving as the finale of the series. At the height of his career and powers, Japan’s master fixer, who has guided politicians and business heads through some of Japan’s biggest scandals, discovers that fixing his family is harder than fixing a country. It's time to grab some Apple Blood and Hex Mix and snuggle up with your Palisman, because The Owl House is returning to your crystal ball, just in time for spooky season. TV Guide can exclusively reveal that the series will debut the first of its three finale specials on Oct. 15. Of course, “The Owl House” is more than a collection of representational milestones.
