The Owl House/Awesome

Note: This page contains unmarked spoilers. Read at your risk.

General
 * Luz is a walking moment of this. She's confirmed to have ADHD and identifies as bisexual, but is a human. She thus lacks the bile sac that would allow her to do magic the normal way. What does Luz do? Find a new way to cast spells. It becomes a game-changer in season 2 when Eda and Lilith discover what combining glyphs can do, Amity learns to use them in a pinch, and even Hunter casts them at a crucial time.

Season 1
 * "A Lying Witch And A Warden:
 * When it seems Eda is cornered, beheaded, and coerced into going in a date with Warden Wrath, she distracts him by giving him a refusal while her body and Luz team up to handle the guards. Luz grabs Owlbert and the staff, experimentally trying spells to fly out of there. Eda sighs and says, "Can it, magic staff." Owlbert speeds up, and Eda helps Luz free all the prisoners.
 * Eda and King shoo Luz away on Owlbert, saying that it's more important for the powerless human to get away than for the two to sacrifice an innocent person. King cheerfully says that Eda's last "boyfriend" was much worse than this one.
 * Luz then rallies the escaped prisoners that they need to standup to those that want to stamp out their weirdness. She says, "Us weirdoes need to stick together!" and that they can stop the Warden. Cue one of the coolest jailbreaks ever, with Luz firing her book report fireworks into Wrath's mouth.

Season 2


 * "Yesterday's Lie"
 * Vee and Luz call a truce when Luz covers for the shapeshifter and then calmly asks for an explanation of why this mysterious girl took over her life. Since Luz doesn't have a way home, and Vee doesn't have anywhere to go, they agree to keep each other's secrets.
 * When Jacob captures Vee and forces her to reveal her true form, Vee tells Luz not to get Dr. Noceda. She says that Camila wouldn't understand, and Luz would be busted. Luz says nuts to that: she alerts Camila to the situation because rescuing an innocent person is more important than maintaining the lie.
 * We see where Luz inherited her strong sense of justice to help the helpless. When Camila realizes that Luz is not playing a game and that this is a real magical situation, she registers that Jacob is about to dissect a scared girl as a gagged Vee gives pleading eyes. Camila takes off her chancla, beats Jacob soundly, and leaves him in his own cage. She quickly makes sure that Vee gets the cards needed to revive her magic. Only then does she start berating Luz for lying to her and escaping from Earth to pursue a "witch fantasy".
 * "Hollow Mind"
 * Credit to Hunter, despite being furious that Luz got him trapped in Belos's mind, he agrees to a truce when Flapjack via walkie-talkie reveals that he went to Eda and King for help. And he whispers to Flapjack, "I love you" after Eda explains they're creating a counter-potion. "Aww!" as Luz and Eda put it.
 * It didn't work out the way that Luz intended, and Hunter laughs that she intended to interview him to get dirt on his uncle considering he is loyal to the bitter end, but she convinced at least one important person that Belos is evil. Namely, Hunter when he sees the truth firsthand. More importantly, she got the proof about the Day of Unity and what exactly it entails.
 * Raine, Eberwolf, and Darius escaped from Hunter's arrest thanks to Luz getting trapped instead within the Emperor's mind. When Hooty puts the Owl House under lockdown, Raine gets an idea: they disguise the right potion as a bouquet of flowers and a card, with instructions on how to use it. Eda might not have accepted the gift, but Hooty does because he's a romantic, letting it into the Owl House. And to top it off, Raine risked blowing their cover to Eda about being brainwashed.
 * One thing about Belos; you have to admire that despite being a few hundred years old, he remembered "Luzura" and recognized her as Luz the human in the Boiling Isles when she appears as the Owl Lady's apprentice. Belos decided to keep her alive until the Stable Time Loop happened. When Luz tells Belos that she's going to reveal to everyone he's a human witch hunter and she can't believe they followed a liar, he reveals his former self to her. To prove it, he shows memories of their past encounter and addresses her by her "Luzura" moniker before switching to Luz. It's the only time in the series that Belos had called her "Luz" rather than "human".
 * It seems to be the end of the line. Belos has cornered Luz, who lacks glyphs, and breaks her spirit by revealing that he used to be Philip Wittenbane. He then reveals casually that he is human, and it is his intention to rid the world of "evil" -- that is, all the residents in the Boiling Isles. Staring death in the face, and realizing that she enabled a man about to perpetuate genocide, Luz responds: "No, you're evil." Brave kid.
 * Hunter has been buried alive in Belos's mindscape, after learning that Belos isn't his uncle, lied to him about everything, and didn't actually love him. He was also holding onto Luz's Grudgby jacket, packed to the brim with glyphs. What does he do? Use them to create a wall of vines to protect Luz, lift himself up from the mindscape before he can suffocate, and helps clear a path to the walkie-talkie, where Eda creates the exit portal. It's not until they're safe in the Owl House that he panics when all of the implications settle into his mind.
