Sometime after Escaping Expulsion,
Amity: I defied our mother and let her know she’ll never control me or my friends again.
Amity: Jealous?
Emira: You know, Mittens, you can just say our mom is a bitch.
Edric: Yeah, we say it all the time.
Amity, smugly: Yeah, you’re jealous.

Amity defending Alador in COTH and insisting he would not side with the Emperor if he knew the truth, while the twins said nothing......suggests they see him in more negative light than she does, and are far more distant and estranged from him than she is.

Love that when faced with the same problem Amity tried to talk to and reason with their parents, while the twins went straight for arson and grand theft auto

Don't think about
don't think about Alador not knowing where any of his kids are
don't think about Edric and Emira gripping onto each other as their world falls apart around them with no idea where the rest of their family is, if they're even safe
don't think about the fact they might not even be together
don't think about Darius feeling the pain of the draining spell but all he can think about is the sixteen-year-old kid he cares about despite himself feeling the same pain
don't think about all the other children with coven sigils, in so so much pain as the man everyone trusts betrays them
don't think of Gus' dad learning no one knows where his twelve-year-old son is
don't think of people running for cover as their world falls apart and rebuilds around them
don't think about the ones who couldn't get away in time
don't think of King, so young and so scared, alone with the collector
don't think about Willow's dads patiently waiting for their daughter to come home and their bone-deep grief when she doesn't
don't think about the twins screaming and wailing when Alador tells them he doesn't know where Amity is and the last time he saw her, she was going to fight Belos, the most dangerous man on the Isle
don't think about Eda realizing that despite her best efforts in the end she couldn't protect either of her kids
don't think about Eda reuniting with Lilith and both of their faces falling realizing the other doesn't have the kids
don't think about Camila opening the doors and being so relieved to see her daughter but so worried when she sees how tired and sad all the kids huddled together at her front door are
don't think about the kids quietly but surely patching each other up, older and much more exhausted than they should be
don't think about the fact none of them are going to be to get a good night's sleep for a while
don't think about the kids huddled together mourning people that may be alive because they just don't know

This scene is so important, actually.
The Blight kids really have grown so much since their initial dynamic in Lost in Language, which was... unhealthy to say the least. Here, Amity is obviously freaking out. She’s scared and her last option to contact Luz is gone, she’s clearly working herself into a panic. The twins, on the other hand, aren’t exactly okay, but they’re better off right now than she is, because they’ve always had each other to lean on.
So they ask themselves, what’s capable of cheering Amity up even now? And the answer, of course, is Luz. What would Luz think? What would she say, if she were here right now? They know how much of a calming effect Luz can have on Amity, and that’s how they’re able to try and have her take a breath.
And it works.
Amity is able to bring herself back from the panic and focus on what Luz would say to her. How she’d comfort her. Look how happy the twins are, and they’re happy because Amity is calming down. She’s always been one to whip herself into a frenzy, but they’ve found a countermeasure that works.
(And then, of course, Edric and Emira see that Luz herself is now here, so they peace out like good older siblings and let their baby sister have her first kiss.)

God this episode really was such a good critique of capitalism and how it's literally destroying our planet, but those with power don't care so long as they turn a profit. When Amity said this line, it hit so hard for me and the metaphor only kept going from there.
This right here is a feeling that I think a lot of gen z and millennials feel. We’ve been protesting for years and of course we shouldn’t stop raising our voices, but it seems like no matter how much we do, even the world leaders who pretend to care won’t lift a finger if it means they don’t continue to get the political donations and profits they want.
In terms of the capitalism critique as well we have Odalia shown to exploit her workers (as well as abuse her husband) and threaten to force their children into child labor as well if he does not comply with her demands (and tbh we've already seen towards the start of season 2 that she forces Amity already to demonstrate for Blight Industries).
The shipment imagery of a tired Kikimora picking things up draws comparisons in my mind to Amazon warehouses and the haste in which things must be shipped to people, always to the harm of the workers in the factory.
Also, to drive the point home further, we have Odalia using the word ‘business’ constantly, even when not literally talking about Blight Industries.
And of course, we can’t forget the way companies wipe their hands of any responsibility for how their products might be used, drawing a huge comparison in my mind to the U.S. military industrial complex, for instance how the U.S. companies (Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, etc.) and the U.S. government itself routinely sell arms weapons to other countries, frequently in support of genocides like what is occurring in the show (Bangladesh is one example off the top of my head, but there are many others).
The U.S. military also happens to be one of the biggest carbon emitters in the world (see here and here), bringing the climate crisis metaphor full circle.
This episode was so fucking good and I really appreciate everything the team did here-- they really went all out this episode to criticize capitalism and on the platform of Disney, a notoriously capitalistic and monopolizing company no less? Fucking iconic.

Okay, but the way Odalia is "ugh, making that face again" to Alador, to the same face her daughter makes when angry. The way she makes Amity colour her hair, that's the same as Alador's. The way Odalia thinks it's Amity responsible for twins acting out. She literally dislikes her daughter for being too similar to her father.

the biggest plot twist for the show really is the fact that THIS has a decent likelihood of actually happening now.
