Time Pools EXPLAINED & Puppet Strings REVEALED!| The Owl House S2E12 Elsewhere & Elsewhen Breakdown 

I find it very interesting that Phillip said it "felt like the Isles were trying to hide" the glyphs from him, since it seems like the Isles kind of volunteered them to Luz (especially the light glyph).

Seeing how easy Belos is willing to sacrifice people just for his own gain has me worried for Hunter’s fate

Lilith: Stay mad. Narrator: And stay mad he did.

Their is something else important with this episode. Philip says that the island is trying to hide glyphs from him where as Luz found all of them in only a few months at most. I think this shows that Belos can’t actually communicate with the titan and that it is just propaganda.

I starting to think the Day of Unity is Belos' second attempt at this plan; the first one having been foiled by his brother and/or the mystery witch who "lured" them to the Isles stealing the completed portal door. After this episode, I looked back at the drawing we saw in 'Yesterday's Lie', and noticed that Philip was depicted standing back from the witch, with what seemed to be a glyph in one hand and a torch in the other (similar to a torch and pitchfork). His brother on the other hand was shaking hands with them, with what seemed to be Little Rascal/Flapjack on his shoulder. If that is the case, it seems like his brother is being set up as more friendly and open-minded towards witches and magic, which would set the stage for Phillip betraying/killing him.

Since Belos only knew plant, fire and ice and we saw he used glyphs on himself it would make sense for for it to take a mud form. Water+earth=mud, mud+fire=boiling mud and Belos has a weird bubbly mud thing with his curse. Then glyphs don't work in the human realm, so maybe part of Belos plan is by going to the human realm so it'll cancel the glyph magic he used on himself.

"A curse of feathers and mud" The curse of feathers of course refers to the Clawthorne sisters. While the instances we've seen of Belos' deteriorating body must indicate 'the mud'. "A betrayal of blood." We all assumed the betrayal refered to Eda and Lilith. What if it refered to Philip and his brother? Lilith had no idea how the curse would react. She thought it would be a temporary hex. And was too ashamed to do anything after it was committed. While we don't know for sure what happened to Philip's brother, he has shown to be a manipulative back-stabber. Exactly the kind to betray his blood.

So ultimately tink the Collector is the mind behind the Titan and the one that really calls all the shots.

So something I love pointing out is that Lilith is back to wearing glasses (which we already knew) and her hair is starting to curl/poof out again. I love that. She's becoming who she really was again. And glad you pointed out the white robes. Not to many people seem to notice that. Also, the mark of Philip's nose grew while he was talking to the Collector

the ribcage thingy in Philip's lair is an unfinished grimwalker. In _Eclipse Lake,_ we saw that a grimwalker requires a galdorstone as the heart, palistrom wood as keratin, and selkidomus scales as something (among other things). In the diagram in Philip's lair, the cube, which resembles a galdorstone, points to the heart. two triangles that kind of look like scales point to the skin, and we see an image of a selkidomus on the same wall just off to the right. The final clue is that the book from _Eclipse Lake_ and the diagram in Philip's lair both have the same image of a disembodied pair of eyes around the other images.

Another interesting theory I've seen is that he's keeping Hunter as a "gift" to the Collector (personally I still think it's the sacrifice theory, but both have interesting edges to them)

I really hope hunter retains some of his base components' quirks. Like, Does he have a ticklish spot on his ear? Does he vomit the ambergris stuff? If you sed a plant glyph, would you be able to control his body since it's partially wood?

About Azura, I'm pretty sure Luz is going to write it in the past to make her love it in the present, thus matching Belos' ploy. After all, they're not all that different.

Flora does seem like the type to value the thrill of a story over its truth (being a celebrity adventurer introduces a couple of biases since she would rely on keeping an audience to maintain her popularity), which might explain a reason for her being willing to reinvent history n such for Belos. Cool idea

I literally love how Lilith punches Phillip in the nose and he heals it and in the first reveal of belos we got he has a bump on his nose where the palisman magic healed Liliths punch

Lilith is an awesome lady and her glasses and new wardrobe...yes! Also Eda reuniting with her pa, needed! Also time travel and Phllip is Bellos confirmed.

I never thought of all characters that Phillip would turn out to be selfish and cruel. I wonder if he was always this way or being stuck in the boiling isles made him go mad

But why would Phillip/Belos need to steal the portal if he was the one who built it? Could this have something to do with Eda and her owl beast? The mural on Edas ceiling does depict some kind of owl deity, and the design of the door matches the design of the Owl House. Also I wonder what would have happened to Phillip if he made his glyph tattoo with all four symbols? It makes me wonder if Luz ever tried the same thing she might become the true voice of the Titan.

‘Wild magic’ is just magic, and magic seems to come from two main sources: the bile sac in witches and nature (a.k.a. glyphs). Belos likely created the term to scare witches and get them to join a coven as part of his rise to power. Witches have access to all kinds of magic, but the coven seal cuts off their access to all except the magic their seal represents. He brought back Basilisks so he could study how they absorbed magic from living things, which could include witches. So knowing all this, my theory is on the Day of Unity, Belos will gather all the coven witches inside the Titan’s head, then paralyze them and absorb all their magic for himself, whether it’s to make the portal powerful enough to bring the Titan to Earth (if that vision proves true), allow him to fully control his Beast form, or to just gain more power. That would leave only Covenless witches and glyphs to fight him, and we know he said there’s a dark fate for any witch who doesn’t join a coven. So the final battle could be Belos harnessing all that magic (which could involve him going full Beast mode) versus the Bad Girl Coven (Luz, the Owl House team, and all covenless witches) using their magic and glyphs. Glyphs only work in the Isles, getting their magic from the Titan, so if the Titan were brought to Earth then glyphs would likely work on Earth so long as they stay on the Titan.

I've been theorizing about glyph-based technology being used for Belos' staff since his battle against Luz in season 1. It's seeming a lot more likely now!

11:33 It also means that.. He was planning to let them go during eda's petrification cause he knew they both had yet to go back in time since she still had the same colored eyes. He also knew lilith was going to betray him later on. If not he probably would have petrified them all as examples.

Maby when Terra said Belos looked forward to meeting her He meant his past self meeting her because he knew they were going to travel back in time.

I never noticed that when Phillip activates the collector's disk thingy at the end of the episode, the injury on his nose from Lilith grows bigger. I feel like this is clearly indicating that that small scar will eventually grow into the face-wide scar that Belos has in the present day.

It's amazing how much lore and story the show fits in one episode. Your breakdowns are always much appreciated

Yay WhitneyVision time again! I loved episode 12, especially since it confirmed once and for all that Philip Wittebane was Belos all along, and not his brother so to those who theorized that Belos was Philip's brother i'm afraid i must say "So much for that theory" anyway i also loved the moments with Luz and Lilith i adored her new outfit Lilith looked gorgeous with glasses!

Cool Aunt Lilith is here baby and she's so cute yet silly!

On the thought of Belos putting Lilith and Eda against each other; I have noted several times how the 'enlistment' list was blank. Yet for some reason, they had to fight each other. Plus, Philip is working with *The Collector.* And it's *The Collector* that created the Owl Beast curse. I'm not really sure it's an 'Owl Beast' curse. Eda's father Dell carved Owlbert because the owl is Eda's spirit totem (in theory). Lilith shares the curse, but she doesn't become an owl beast. She's a... Umm... (I'm not sure *what* she is). But it isn't an owl beast. So then, what *is* the curse? Does it cause your spirit totem to take monstrous physical form? Just a few inane questions to get tongues wagging.

the glyph patters belos were making resembles so much as atoms and the fire glyhps are whats holding the spells together by being the main source of "power" to make sure nothing bad happens to them

I think that the day of unity is really just the day we’re he gets to reunite with his dead brother. It seemed apathetic when ever the subject of going to back to the human realm came up both in the past and present. He even said he needed the collector for something else, but was willing to give them info in exchange for a sacrifice. Glyph magic doesn’t work in the human realm so he is planning to transport the titans skull into the human realm so there he can use magic. With that he can use whatever spell the collector told him to revive his brother. Since it might be that he needs to revive him in the dimension his soul was born in. The collector could be like a scale of life and death that needs multiple sacrifices just to bring back one person. Which could be why he is gathering everyone on the day of unity he plans on sacrificing all of the people on the isles. The reason he could have also been so interested in basilisk is because he was planning on draining all the people of their magic to power is portal and revival machine. Finally hunter will be the new vessel for belos brother.

I can't help but feel as if there would be some repercussions coming towards Luz. Afterall it wasn't a coincidence that she would end up in the boiling isles in the first place. And even after seeing this latest episode, Luz will soon find out in time that because of her interfering in the past to find out about Phillip Wittebane, she maybe be the cause for the current events that's happening in the future/present such as wild magic,Eda being curse and attacking her father and so on.

Okay so clearly Belos has messed with the history books, and he took 400 years for his plans despite already seeming to be pretty far along back in the 1600s. WHAT IF... he used the time pools to get several hundred years into the future? He could have planted seeds for whatever historical progression of society he needed, to then just skip to the good part. My guess is that he orchestrated the downfall of wild magic, then came back into the timeline by the time the savage ages were truly savage, creating a much easier palette to apply his coven system. It also explains where he disappeared to in the time period between Philip's disappearance and Belos' rise to power

philips scar on his nose starts to grow across closer to his cheek thats totally how belos go that scar right? im not sure why it became all nasty but lilith gave it to him.

Time travel is funny. I saw the same events and came away with the opposite conclusion. The future will sort is out, but it's fun to speculate. 1) While I'm sure the guy turns into Belos, I'm unsure it's Phillip. The man who would be emperor didn't answer to Phillip. He recognized the name, but didn't confirm. 2) While planting the book may be a long game play. It is exceedingly risky. Especially since, if he can rewrite the district approved version of history he could have just added Phillip to the school's curriculum. Phillip's journal is knowledge he has no control over and handing it to a presumed enemy is like giving Luz a loaded gun. (This is also why S1 should have had Belos bend the rules for Luz to attend Hexside instead of a little Mary Sue obstacle clearance.) 3) My guess this is Alastair Witterbane. He joined his brother Phillip on this journey. Phil fell in love with the Boiling Isles. Al hated it. Phil started a life, but continued working on a way back to Earth for his brother. Al started fearful, but then grew hateful of the Boiling Isles. He wanted to destroy the place, but didn't have the power, so enter Emperor Belos. With some subterfuge and glyphs he climbs his way to power. Creates the coven system to keep the powers in check and build toward the day of Unity.

there are a LOT of spells that can come in to play and I wonder what ones we'll see again before the series ends. What are your thoughts on Time Travel Body Swap Memory alteration Memory visitation Spying on people seeing the future shape shifter decoy shrinking living walking owl house teleportation transformation in to an other form combing two spells invisibility death by music I feel like any of these could cause a lot of drama , end the series or even instantly change the relationship between two characters. and they can be used by any one. they may have already been used by some one. I would love to hear what you think could come in to play, by who , when and how

I wonder if anyone's realized the possibility that they can just go back in time to get more titan blood.

It would be sooooo cool if Luz learn that teleport spell.

for time travel you forgot the fourth small things change, reversed back to normal, no changes, dramatic changes or time-travel in the past to explain some history or future. but someone parts can't never change.

If Belos has been pulling the strings this entire time my mind will be blown

Seething seas and puppet strings he no longer dreams of kings as things

Okay but like, has nobody noticed Dells palisman looks similar to flapjack?

I wonder why Phillip tattooed glyphs on his arm in the first place considering it's causing him pain, my guess is that he was in a tight spot and he felt like he had no choice

i like that recent animations (The owl house, infinity train), is taking a different aprouch to different universes and actually showing how humans have a tendancy to destroy everything.

Yay 🙌 another Whitney gem. ❤❤❤

I like that belos uses magic like batteries and parts. Belos eats the palismen made of trees, uses creature parts to create hunter, and is pushing a narrative that there’s an idea of ‘magic and wild magic’, thus a necessity to organize and control. Belos has no understanding of a scale of time it has been hundreds of years and has been planning so often that he’s only had to act in the moment once luz and eda started being harassed by him and reacting. Luz understands magic as pieces of an entire whole and to work with it. Magic is made of elements that work together and work just enough in the moment to succeed the task. She’s a kid with some understanding of both human and witch tragedies is a heavy reader of intense understanding action and drama and the depth of actions consequences etc. Belos is also turning into palistrum wood/magicgoop because he’s been eating them for centuries like how you turn orange from eating tons of carrots. But also think of tolerance and body toxicity with foods, small amounts for only a little while vs palistrum wood being rare now and all the ones alive are in a forest hiding. And the sigils activate and are powered by some of the palistum wood he’s digested that’s why he looks so worn out after spells and reacting

I have a potential theory for "The Owl House," could Luz (and humans in general) possibly be something of an amplifier for magic cast by witches? The reason I bring this up is because some of the most impressive feats (outside of Eda's) were performed with Luz either being directly involved or in close proximity to the spell being cast. Do you find this theory plausible or am I just finding something where there is nothing?

This wells super helpful! Me and my friends have been making theory’s on what’s happening for a while and we never really thought of it on this deep of a level. This was super cool to watch and it made me think a lot!

Also what's with the palisman remains? The one he chugs on screen just dissolves into idk.. magic? But why are there others just laying around, broken?

when you talked about the time travel part it reminded me of 'butterfly effect' from the disastrous life of saiki and that traveling back from time and changing a bit of something has a huge effect on the future

As Severus Snape said to Dumbledore, “You’ve been raising him like a pig for slaughter”.

Dark Implications was my high school’s nickname about 4 years ago. I graduated 10 years ago

Its been my theory for a while that the way Belos's techno magic works, is with a complex display of all glyphs that could work together, overlaid, and then only activates the parts needed to form a particular glyph, to cast that spell. This must however necessitate that there is some other magic at play (possibly more glyphs) casting a magic capable of reading his intentions and directing the glyph circuitry in his staff, otherwise for every individual action of it, he'd have to do something to manipulate what glyphs are actually active.

Ohhh I like the Luz being the inspiration for The Good Witch series. I’m glad your channel was recommend again, I’ve seen a couple of your videos a long time ago but apparently I never subscribed, so I hit the subscribe button this time!

She could honestly just go back in time before the door was broken and sneaky use it and yeah she’d be stuck back in that time but like it was only a few months ago (not really that bad), and it’s not like all she did there has been undone or anything like how time altering stuff usually goes, it just hasn’t happened yet. Or do tricky shenanigans with taking the door back to the future, use it, get her home, then get third parties to take it back to the correct time. But the second option sounds like it’s more susceptible to King mucking it up

This show is actually scary. There is no way of stopping the day of unity. This is and has been in motion for years from belos. Belos is an actual scary freakin villian

luz can make a staff (if she makes a palsiman) she can use glyths to power it up makeing her able to use stronger and premade combines or a menu basically to make combines like a chart

Luz and co would only be in danger if Belos were to know they actually went back and did what he needed him to. It’s all in his past anyway, so it’s not like he’d just instinctively know when it happened. He totally could have been watching or tracking them, for sure, but I think (I HOPE) they’re probably safe for a while

I always think that Belos’ arm glyphs are probably self-inflicted wounds/scars he did to himself so that he could inherit magic inside him despite him not really knowing how Bile sacks work. Also it would be awesome if The Collector was like a Boba Fett neutral character,not evil but also not good,maybe doing it for the money or something else.

I felt the glyphs on the arm was keeping something suppressed like the Owl Beast but a “Mud Beast”

Classic ‘hero creates their villain and villain creates the hero’ type deal. “I made you, you me first”. Batman, 1989

I think it's seething seas and puppet strings, he no longer dreams of kings as magical beings or endings things its more likely to be magical beings

In Hollow Mind, one of the memories of Belos preaching to a crowd from a stage with a wood mask, peculiarly different yellow eyes that never got explained, and a prototype of his tech staff, while Hunter stages an attack from wild witches back stage. In it, he says he’s seen the human light. In Elsewhere and Elsewhen, Luz showed him the previously undiscovered light glyph. Let me say that again. He’s seen the human light. HUMAN LIGHT. LUZ THE HUMAN. Light the human. The human light shines in in 9 hues-which Luz also dresses in at Hexide due to taking all 9 tracks-, which the covens in the coven system were color coordinated after the human light, unintentionally causing him to get the idea for The Coven System. The coloration of The Emperor’s Coven takes on a whole new, well, light. The other covens can only perform one kind of magick and are symbolized by one color. Taking what we know about all the rainbow colors coming from white light, and combine together all the other colors make up white light, of course this symbolism fits perfectly to the preplanned ideal and intent that only The Emperor’s Coven could use all kinds of magick. Furthermore, white is typically used to symbolize good and purity, so Belos may use this psychological symbolism habit to trigger people to automatically subconsciously associate him and The Emperor’s Coven as good and pure, disguising his evil intentions with his cover story of a Titan guided emperor that destroyed the dangerous savage witches practicing wild magick, created the peaceful and orderly paradise of the modern day coven system, and works towards the great and wonderful day of Unity that will grant his worthy subjects a paradise safe from the dangers of wild magick. Or maybe he truly believes that what he’s doing as his ultimate goal is good-for humans at least. And he firmly believes that all witches and demons and wild magick are evil. Y’know typical witch hunter stuff. The Day of Unity will combine the drained magick from all Covens to achieve what looked to be the merging of the human and demon realm. Remember color symbolism and the covens? Luz’s Hexide uniform is a rainbow pretty much since she is taking all coven tracks at once. She’ll be a counter to this in some way, utilizing all tracks of magick. Since she’s not a witch, Luz, and anyone practicing glyph magick, won’t be drained of magick, as was established when the basilisk tried and failed to eat her glyph magick at the school. With the demon and human realms merging, Luz and anyone practicing glyphs will still be able to draw upon the magick from The Titan. That’s really all I have for this sudden theory mess.

All of this is really interesting with the final episode

you know, the "A" on Philip's coat also resembles the golden guard/Gravesfield symbol

16:22 you mean... Like a bone of ortet ? DUN DUN DUN!!!

I wanted to add a few things to this amazing breakdown of the time travel implications of Belos/Phillip. I love how you pointed out causing a rift between the sisters: it’s a perfect plan! Put the sisters against each other, then guilt trap the target sister and dangle a relief “I’ll cure her” and torment them for decades because she... punched him in the nose once... which didn’t stop him as he got what he wanted... he’s a jerk, lol. Torments someone for decades before they even punch you. Anyways 1. Phillip holds an incredible similarity to Edas father. It could be that Eda is the great great... granddaughter of the brother. This would make Eda and her sister mixed blood, like I bet Hunter and Hunters parent was. 2. It could be that Phillip physically changed his appearance to have pointed ears and that of his children (both him and Hunter have a notch of ear missing from their left ear). Kinda like a grafting of flesh. Then say “oh, we don’t have natural magic because of WILD witches. Here, use this techno-mage staff but not glyphs.” But that would get in the way of my first theory with Clawthorns being mixed blood 3. Alternatively, Phillip/Beros could have kidnapped a branching lineage of his brother, splitting the two families of clawthornes and Hunters, and removing the wild magic from Hunters side

Time travel will absolutely be used in season 3. There was a scene (I think at the tail end of season 1), where all the coven heads put their magic into a McGuffin that revealed a portal to the human realm, but the visuals indicated that time was passing, suggesting the human realm and the demon realm are one and the same, just separated by time, not space. Edit: also I can't believe I NEVER noticed Lilith kicked her own head when she stuck her head through the time pool. I thought it was just a random person.

Another theory confirmed

Can't wait to see what she says about hollow mind. Omg

I do love how the books azura are def going to be a crazy twist at the end it has to it just connects too much

I don't know why it makes me so happy when she says "Alright, my little sweet potatoes"

ooooooh, it make sense, keep your enemy closer, cause they can be a potential tool

He waited CENTURIES to get back at Lilith and everyone else

0:55 Something I noticed.. Look that the wound lilith left on him.. It GROWS when connecting to the collector.. Compare that the belos' green face scar.

this deserved so much more than 2 seasons

While it is true that Belos could now off them because the time loop is closed, she does not really have too much to go on to know when exactly Luz went back in time. He will leave them alone until the very last moment, to make sure that they had enough time to go back in time.

Am I the only one who thinks the gold icon on Philip’s coat resembles an Among Us character. Is that because he is Sus, or is he an imposter.

A cartoon analysis channel with a STEM leaning? Where has this been all my life! Insta-subbed

A theory I have is the "big plans the titan" has for hunter is really sacrificing him to bring back his brother.

Part of me wonders if that 'sludge' is actually made of the same palasmen stuff he has been feeding off of... sort of a temporary stop gap of turning him into a 'living' version to extend his lifespan, but obviously there were side effects/errors involved. Also got to love/hate how he openly admitted he wasn't going to share knowledge and throw their lives away at the next trial he was going to face. He must really hate witches if he told them that outright instead of trying to bargin.

I wonder if Phillip needed the collector for the Day Of Unity. Or even to make the Owl Beast Curse

Nha for me they are still safe for now. You mentioned the star wars theory of storm troopers aim, but didn't mention that, in the later films, everyone, including vader, is obedient to that rule because Luke is seen as the emperor's possession because he wants to corrupt him. For me below is trying to pull a Palpatine on luz

Did anyone else notice that the collector looks suspiciously like the person who captured the Owl Beast in Knock, Knock, Knocking on Hooty's Door?

Best video take I've seen on this 🙌

The body in his lair is either an ortet or an unfinished grimwalker. And Hunter is the ortet for his new grimwalker. In the page opposite the grimwalker recipe, it tells you how to identify one, red eyes, the checkmark is by the teen age figure. An ortet is the original genetic specimen a set of clones are made from. And to take it further ...I think the body belos is in is already a grimwalker, he was dying then, I'm thinking he made a new body but messed up somehow, which is why he's disfigured....you see the similar diagram and the body parts in his lair. He needed a galderstone, stone sleeper lungs and selkidomus scale, palisman wood...and bone of the ortet....I think he's done the grimwalker spell before to prolong his own life. Just a theory.....that would explain why he and hunter look so similar, down to the notch in the ear and the hair color. The only issue with that is the galderstone.... supposedly no one has ever gotten one but we learn the coven scouts are looking for them. But what did he pull from the sand? Looked like a galderstone to me, it reminded me of when gus saw his reflection in it, same as when belos/whittebane saw his reflection in it. That's my theory anyway. Also explains how he had all the palisman wood (aside from him needing them to not die) and the body parts. Also....he says he found hunter and he would be so much trouble to replace.....yeah, he's part of his spell

I just can't get over how they added a dora the explorer cameo and then she just disappears right after that's so funny to me lol

What if the body pieces are the bones of his brother that he can use to make a Grimwalker

Lol i love how they put Dora into this ep XD

dayum the creators really put alot of effort for this HAHAHA

i respect time travel being in a loop in loop form, so there is a possibility that Belos starting to knew that Lillith was time traveling or atleast no yet in that timeline during her being a coven head. Although belos might not knew Luz as luzura was a human, he might have noticed it after seeing her in the present timeline. he may have donated his diary which may have been spreaded with lies, But for the fact i'm pretty sure it took a while for belos to recognise Lillith over her 1 grey eye, 1 blue eye and the glasses. Belos maybe be aware for luz to end up recognising him as to who he really is, which is why sent a message to luz for another meeting.

omg i just noticed that! 9:05 like wow that just shocked me

Thanks to this episode i now think that Eda's dad carved rascal, i mean look at his paliman and then look at rascal

10:32 Well he might not have needed that actually. Remember we already saw, thanks to Ol Tibbles. There are shrinking potions, and humans can make potions if done correctly. Ergo he possibly learned to make the same potion, and since he made it.. His hands to cheek can reverse it. Ergo pours potion on self, shrinks, makes tiny glyph circles, etc.

Glad I am not the only one to notice Whittabane's colonists undertones.

your soo smartttt this makes so much sense

I think it's gonna be like, "he no longer dreams of kings as gods" or something

food for thought: the A on philip’s jacket could also be a sideways D. now, if the theory of him having stolen the jacket from his brother is true, then that could be another link to Eda’s father Del. seeing as hunter is a grimwalker and therefore a clone of belos, and hunter and del having matching scars and palisman tying them to one another, it could be another clue that Del is philip’s brother.

You mentioned Philip manipulating Luz and Luz inspiring the Azura series as separate points, but I think they could be the same. We've seen how often Luz uses the Azura books as inspiration for plans so what if Philip wrote those stories to control all of Luz's plans? He could use them to push her towards the boiling Isles, and also manipulate her in a really sneaky way once she gets there.

The main issue I have with 16:27 's theory is that. Hunter doesn't have a bile sac. At least I don't think he does, he said he can't perform magic naturally in ep 6 season 2 and that's why he uses the staff. If Belos had a magic bile sac just for Hunter, then why wouldn't he have used it for the door right then and there? If he just wanted to go the despicable route then why not kill Lilith when she betrayed him? He had already met her and Luz and Lilith didn't have any connection at that point in the timeline so there was really no reason for that. So while I do think Hunter will most likely be a sacrifice it's probably for the day of unity and not the door

Hear this theory out. The Owl House looks through theory videos on RU-vid to get inspiration for new ideas.

two witches torn apart now alone,...feather and mud! could it be that Philip didn't write the mud curse but his brother did to stop him...
