So I know Dana confirmed there wouldn’t be any musical episodes (which I get, that’s a LOT of work, I still don’t know how the su crew managed to put it all together as well as they did) but I do hope we get to see Luz sitting with Skara in a bard track class and bonding over types of music they like and Luz teaching Skara about different kinds of music from the Human Realm. Like, I really wanna see Skara go absolutely bonkers over seeing a French horn or an accordion for the first time.

FULL REVIEWS: “Wing It Like Witches”
Damn, that last episode was something. It was so much of something that the hype for this episode didn’t come until after they released a screenshot of Amity in the grudgby uniform. Everyone predicted that this was the episode that had Amity join The Owl House squad and...they were right. 
The Lumity Trilogy ends with a sports balls game.
Tumblr media
The cold open starts with Boscha of all people. 
Tumblr media
It’s grudgby season again and all I can think of is “Wow how lucky is Luz to enroll in Hexside during the semester where shit happens.” Is the first semester the boring one with no holidays and/or events?
Anyway, I grew up in South Texas where high school football was treated like the biggest deal. I get why Boscha is being treated the way she is, and so does she.
Boscha goes to school expecting a hero’s welcome, but gets pissed when the attention is given to Willow.
Tumblr media
Willow tells Luz that ever since she patched things up with Amity, she’s been feeling more confident. That’s really good character development. Without her resentment toward Amity (who was her oldest friend), Willow feels like a weight has been lifted off her shoulders. All that hate and sadness was bringing her down, but without it, she’s free to blossom. 
Tumblr media
I don’t mean to quote Penn & Teller but, “And then there’s this asshole.”
Boscha is so not okay with Willow being happy with herself and just picks on her harder. Especially since it’s grudgby season and she knows she can get away with it. 
Tumblr media
Amity tells her to grow the fuck up, and Boscha lets it slip that ever since grom Amity has been “getting soft.” This does fucking nothing since Boscha literally spends all day following Willow and friends all day picking on them like crazy. Like damn bitch, don’t you have anything else do do? Don’t you have any life outside of Willow’s?
Tumblr media
People ask why I don’t ship Willow and Boscha and this is why. I get enemies to lovers. I get the bully becoming the love interest. Hell, it’s happening with Amity right now. But this is too needlessly cruel for my taste. There’s not way the Defeat Equals Friendship trope is going to work here. Not for me. But hope comes in the form of a useless lesbian.
Tumblr media
Amity literally gay panics after getting ‘nam flashbacks of dancing with the girl she likes in the moonlight. Luz asks Amity for help about Boscha, and based on Amity’s answer, I don’t think Amity has ever liked Boscha. She agrees that Boscha is difficult to tolerate. It’s even worse during grudgby season because it becomes all the thinks about. Luz gets the wrong idea from that.
Tumblr media
After literally pelting Willow with garbage, Luz challenges Boscha to a grudgby match for Willow. Again Luz’s character flaw of overstepping her bounds comes back. She never even considers what Willow might want or the fact that Willow has never even played grudgby before in her life. And that’s when another of Luz’s character flaws comes back hard. This time it’s Luz expecting life to play out like a story, or more specifically, a sports movie.
Tumblr media
Holy crap. Is that the thorn-vault? I’ve never noticed that before.
Luz thinks that if they just try really hard they’ll beat someone who has been excelling at the sport for years. No. That’s not how life works, sweetie. I’m starting to think that maybe Luz’s mom was on to something sending her to camp.
Luz manages to convince Willow and Gus to be on board, but Amity...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She’ll be in her bunk.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile in the B-plot (that should be my t-shirt by now), Eda is talking about her time when she was star player of her grudgby team when Lilith makes an unexpected appearance to arrest Eda. Lilith notices that Eda is wearing her old ass grudgby uniform and Eda’s response made me laugh.
“No reason. It’s laundry day.”
Lilith gives Eda a quick reality check to remind her that while Eda was good...
Tumblr media
Lilith was better.
This photo really confused me and took me a while to realize that that was Eda and Lilith. Lilith gave herself a serious make over after school. Straightened her hair, darkened it, got ride of the glasses. I didn’t even recognize her. 
Since we all got grudgby on the brain, Eda makes a bet. She’ll go with Lilith to The Emperor peacefully if she can beat her in a game of grudgby. Luz is always pulling stuff like this and it works out for her, so why not? Speaking of which.
Tumblr media
Willow and Gus teach Luz about grudgby. Luz teaches Willow and Gus about montages and it does not go well at all. The grudgby, I mean. The montage was great. 
In fact it’s so bad that Willow confronts Luz about the thing I was just talking about earlier. You can’t just shonen hero through all your problems. Willow and Gus give up and just leave.
I hate comparing shows because I believe they should stand on their own, but this really does remind me of when Lotte got mad at Akko in Little Witch Academia: The Enchanted Parade. Being innocently insensitive plus expecting life to play out like a movie is not a good combo. 
Tumblr media
Luz and Amity have a heart to heart. Luz’s character flaws do come from a place love. Willow is one of the best friend’s she’s ever had and it hurts to watch her get picked on. She’s not trying to make things worse but growing up on a diet of movies and cartoons, this is the only thing she can think of.
Tumblr media
Amity reveals that she actually used to be a jock. No joke. She was the captain of the grudgby team before Boscha. But Amity decided to make the game all about her and her teammates got hurt. So felt so bad that she never played again. Amity is rough around the edges, but deep down she’s always cared about people.
Tumblr media
Another gay panic later, and Luz gets the right idea this time. Luz forfeits the game and agrees to take all of Willow’s punishment so that Boscha will stop picking on her.
Tumblr media
Bitch, works for me! Think fast!
Amity senses the obvious and immediate danger and goes for help. She reminds Willow and Gus that Luz always has good intentions and needs help because that’s what friends do.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This isn’t about “friendship” is it?
Gus and Willow show up to save Luz but you need three on a team. And in true sports movie fashion, the hero arrives in the eleventh hour to save the team. I.E. the only player who is actually good at the game gives the good guys a chance to win.
Tumblr media
Let’s get it on!
It’s game on and for a bunch of nerds the game is actually pretty competitive. It’s a magic sport, so Willow focuses on the magic while Amity focuses on the sport. Luz being Luz, even congratulates the other players when they score. Luz discovers every RPG players favorite spell, fire. 
It looks like our heroes pull off the victory in true sports movie fashion when this happens.
Tumblr media
I stand by what I said last time. Someone on The Owl House thinks Harry Potter is really fucking stupid. Boscha catches the rusty smidge which means she automatically wins and Luz let’s out two decades of Harry Potter frustration.
But she has a point. If the golden snitch gives your team 150 points and ends the game then the only way to play would be to play defensively and focus all your efforts on finding the snitch. It means there’s literally only one decent way to play the game if you want to win.
“That just invalidates all our efforts! If catching that thing is so important, why do anything else!? There’s no reason to watch any of the other players! THAT’S SUCH A STUPID RULE!”
You tell them, Luz.
But in a twist that everyone saw coming, all the other players (Skara, Cat, Amelie) all had so much fun playing that they invite Willow to join the team. Willow politely declines because Boscha.
But we can’t have Amity help with the season finale so she hurt her leg. Amity panics at the thought of Luz carrying her, so of course Luz picks her up.
Tumblr media
“Oh. Wow. Sports.”
Speaking of sports.
Tumblr media
It’s game on at The Owl House and Lilith and Eda have a one on one match that’s really close. Eda decides to cheat her way to victory until.
Tumblr media
Dammit, Luz!
Eda wins and Lilith vows to return.
Tumblr media
The episode ends with Amity joining the fam at The Owl House.
FINAL SCORE: 5 - LOVED IT!
This episode was the best of fun episodes combined with the development of Amity episodes and you get probably my favorite episode. This was so fun and touched on most of the major characters. Even the B-plot is important because now Lilith knows the location of The Owl House. The jokes were funny. It was cute. Just everything.
Tumblr media
The Lumity Trilogy ends on a high note. Amity is officially crushing hard on Luz.

Thoughts on “Wing It Like Witches”
This is a really fun episode. I caught myself laughing out loud to many of the moments while watching it. 
It’s good to see the show focus on other characters beside the main cast. I’ve been curious about Boscha since her introduction in “Hooty’s Moving Hassle.”
Tumblr media
Willow is finally getting the attention she deserves from other students. As she should, because Willow is so cute and talented.
I said it once and I’ll say it again: Amity staying true to her word and defending Willow is so good. I’m glad she put Boscha in her place.
“Gory Days”-What are you not telling us, Eda? 😯
King automatically entering Eda’s hair after leaving Luz’s hoodie is so adorable 😚
Tumblr media
Willow’s last name is “Park”-Nice!
“Aww, Willow thinks she’s popular now, how cute?”-Boscha reminds me of so many people in HS OMG 🙃
“Don’t worry, it’s not like she can follow us around all day, right?”-I hope you’re right Luz
Damn, Boscha’s persistent!
Also, “Round Ears” 🤣
Tumblr media
I really want to know who Boscha’s parents are and what type of influence they have on the Boiling Isles. If Principal Bump is letting her get away with a lot of her shenanigans, then they must be really important.
No Luz, don’t put speak for other people and put them in situations they aren’t ready for 😖
Aww, another young Eda pic 😘
Tumblr media
“The Emperor has big plans for the Isles and he wants you to be a part of it all.”
Um? What are these plans? And why does he need Eda? 🤔
It looks like Lilith is not being told the full story and is being set up because of her connection to Eda.
Luz calling the shots, even though she doesn’t how to play Grudgby, is such a funny moment. She’s bold no matter what the circumstances are 😂
Amity’s reaction to being asked to join Luz, Gus and Willow in the Grudgby match had me dying 🤣. She had to get out of there quick. LOL
“Me? On a team with you? Running around in cute uniforms? Sweating?” 😆
That Training Montage tho 😄
“What happens in the montage stays in the montage.”
Oh, I agree Luz. Because I don’t know how to explain this at all:
Tumblr media
I want to see more of him. I appreciate him.
Tumblr media
“Not everything can be solved with a good attitude and a dope music soundtrack”-I hate to admit but she’s right.
King’s cheerleading outfit 🥰
Eda, you are terrible 🤣
Tumblr media
Amity’s backstory about her Grudgby match days really shows her in a different light. She has always been a person who has cared about the well-being of others.
“She can be so stupid, which I love-I mean hate!”-Dang Amity, you’ve got it bad for Luz, huh 😏
Tumblr media
Luz and the lunchbox note-LMAO
Tumblr media
Love how Eda still cares for Lilith despite the tension between them. I’m still worried about what Lilith is going to do next, it looks like she’s on her last leg with Eda.
I did not expect Boscha to win after Amity joined Luz and Willow on their team. But I had a feeling Boscha had something up her sleeve. 🙄
Good to see Boscha’s teammates congratulate Willow and Luz on a good game tho  😄
This moment tho is iconic 💖👌
Tumblr media
Ending montage was great and it looks like Amity is hanging out more with the main trio or Team LAW (Luz, Au(Gus)tus, Willow)
Yep, I’m bringing that name back again.
This is a really entertaining episode. This episode gave us so many comedic moments from the training montage to Amity getting flustered to Gus’ damn flags 😂. This episode gave us a lot to smile about.
This episode looks like it’s also foreshadowing events for the next two episodes and Amity slowly dissociating herself from Boscha, Skara and the rest of the popular kids at Hexside and being more cordial with Team LAW.
Speaking of Amity, she blushed a total of eight times, whenever Luz was involved or brought up in a conversation
We love to see it.😏 Correct me, if I wrong tho.
