There once was a story about a lying witch and a warden. It was a tale of deception, intrigue, and moral ambiguity. The lying witch was known for her cunning and manipulative ways. She would weave spells and concoct potions to deceive those around her, using her powers for personal gain. Some feared her, others were seduced by her charm and promises of power. One day, the lying witch crossed paths with the warden.
The part with King and Luz at the end of the episode is really cute. But what's with the ominous music?
Seeing no choice, Luz complies and accompanies them to the Conformatorium, where people are imprisoned for being unsuitable and having too much wild creativity for society.

Recap / The Owl House S1E1 "A Lying Witch and a Warden"
Luz Noceda is a self-assured high school girl with a wild imagination and a love of fantasy novels, especially the tales of The Good Witch Azura. Unfortunately, a school project gone awry sees her sentenced to spending the summer at the Reality Check "reform camp". But after her mother drops her off to wait for the bus, Luz is distracted trying to get her book back from a mysterious owl, which she follows through a mystic portal.
On the other side of the portal, Luz encounters Eda the Owl Lady, a powerful witch who also happens to be a dealer in human artifacts. Luz catches Eda's eye when she gets an old portable TV working, and even helps her escape from the authorities who come to shut down Eda's operation.
As they fly back to Eda's home, the Owl House, Eda properly introduces Luz to the Boiling Isles, a world of magic and strange creatures that's apparently inspired a number of human legends. Eda also introduces her room-mate, an adorable but boastful demon named King, and offers Luz a proposition: in exchange for her help in retrieving King's "Crown of Power" from behind a magic-proof barrier, Eda will send Luz home.
Luz and King sneak into the Conformatorium, a prison for outlaws and misfits run by the ruthless Warden Wrath. Luz is surprised to find most of the inmates she meets are locked up just for being "weird", doing things like writing food fan-fiction or swallowing their own eyeballs. Deeper in the Conformatorium, they meet with Eda and find where Warden Wrath keeps his confiscated items. Luz easily bypasses the barrier and finds. a cardboard crown from a fast-food restaurant, which is perfectly ordinary but happens to be the most prized possesion of Eda's only friend King.
Eda: Now let's get out of here before the Warden shows up and loses his head.
Warden Wrath: (looming behind Eda) Too late.
Before they can escape, they are ambushed by Warden Wrath and his men, and Eda is decapitated! Fortunately it's only a nuisance to someone like Eda, but then Warden Wrath makes Eda an offer. to go out with him? It seems Wrath has become infatuated with the one criminal who's evaded capture for so long. Eda naturally rejects him, and after Luz helps reunite her head and body she tells Luz to escape while she still can.
Luz has other plans, however, and manages to free some of the other prisoners in the Conformatorium and rally them to create a timely distraction. With Luz's quick thinking (and some fireworks she conventiently had saved) she, Eda, and King all manage to escape the clutches of Warden Wrath.
Back at the Owl House, Eda prepares to send Luz home, but Luz starts to have second thoughts.
Luz: Okay, I know you got your head cut off, and we started some kind of prison riot, but this was the most fun I've ever had. I don't fit in at home; you don't fit in here. If I stay, we could not-fit-in together!
Luz offers to stay and become Eda's apprentice and servant. Despite the witch's skepticism that a human could ever learn magic, Eda accepts her offer. That night, Luz gets a text message from her mother, and without quite revealing what's happened today Luz replies "I think I'm gonna like it here."
