This episode is incredible- plot, music, emotion. It's up there as one of my favorites of Owl House, the cast and crew all giving heart-stopping performances.

Uh. Where do I begin. No spoilers. This episode may be the Owl House at its best yet. The interactions between every character in this episode are amazing. The side plot continues to fuel the fire. The consequences of this episode? I can't even begin to imagine. The next few episodes are certainly going to continue the roller coaster.
literally perfection

This episode is genuinely on a similar level of quality and anxiety as Arcane's final episode, which I do NOT say lightly. I cannot believe they make this for "ages six to eleven," if I saw this as a kid I'd cry. It's horror. It's incredible.
I needed this, after the frog shows mediocrity this week...

Warning: Spoilers
After last weeks episode, I was worried that The Owl House would stop it's upward trend. After all, how is every and any episode from here on out, going to top Reaching Out? Well, Reaching Out wasn't a perfect episode, though it was near perfection. But correct me if I'm wrong...I don't see a single problem with this episode! It is the most emotional, hard to watch, and artistic episode of the Owl House we've gotten, ever. The only complaint I can give is in the midst of Hunters emotional fake-out death, Hooty had a line that made me burst into laughter, giving me a bit of emotional whiplash. But it felt less like whiplash, and more like a nice blend of tears and laughter that very few shows can make me feel. In comparison, Reaching Out interrupted its emotional scene by pushing Amity and Luz back into the fray of the plot. Afterwards, they returned to that emotional scene at the end of Reaching Out, but did not really let either moment rest for long enough to actually feel the full potential weight of their emotions.
Meanwhile, the last 5 minutes of this episode were completely dedicated to Hunter dealing with his family trauma, aside from the brief interruption of Eda, King, and Hooty helping him out of the Hollow Mind. Because of this, the turmoil could be felt in a way that reminded me of the way I felt when Aang lost Appa in ATLA. My point? Although it may be subjective, I truly believe that no episode dealt with the weight of character choices better then this one. I predict that Hunter will either be joining the Owl crew, or Raines rebellion, very soon. And I'm excited for either one.
