Headcanon: during the time between the (official) announcement and the release, brawlers are trained and sometimes they just kinda “observe” what the others do to learn
man I keep forgetting I have a tumblr have some chibi grom art I made for grom’s anniversary yesterday (ignore that luz’s outfit is different colors in each one, I made the tiara piece after the first was posted and realized then that we’d seen her grom outfit in regular lighting)
In the morning, Luz is reminded by her phone of some unresolved pain with one of her parents in the human world. Luz tries to deny it, and the discovery of a new spell is only a minor consolation.
Luz keeps trying to avoid her pain and even joins in Amity’s activity as a distraction, but is eventually called out on her problems. Luz can only make it through by accepting Amity’s help.
Eda and King have a subplot with one of Luz’s illusion friends, in which King personally relates to him on appreciating serious attention. The twins’ respective fears are addressed.
Amity has some baggage of her own (but while this and Lumity are seemingly the main focus of the episode, it turns out to really be about Luz and her parent).
This flirty look from behind the glyphs, Amity is spun around by Luz in her dress.
A giant monster forms out of control and needs the might of a strengthened relationship, combining spells into a larger abomination, to take it down.
It’s an annual public event that Eda has been to before, where a winner is crowned and participants train and fight. One of the kids joins to prove themselves to their parent, though things don’t go as planned, due to an angry parent atop a goop monster; Eda comes to the rescue!
The plant glyph plus Amity’s abomination proves integral to the resolution.
The Lumity tree!
We find out what Camila and Vee were up to, as the episode ends!
