POV Youre Belos And You Just Walked Back Through The Portal

POV you’re Belos and you just walked back through the portal

*Hunter going through unimaginable trauma*

His shirt:

Thanks to Them last minute theories! Put it under the cut because it got long and it mentions a few of the leaks

General character/thematic theories:

-Hunter and Luz won't reveal their secrets this episode

-Dealing with guilt and protecting loved ones by keeping secrets will be a big theme

-Hunter will be accepted by the Noceda family (well this one's pretty much confirmed by the review lol but still)

-Halloween/Scooby Doo vibes

-This episode will be largely focused on exploring the Wittebane brothers and their backstory

-We won't get any scenes on the Boiling Isles/the gang won't return there this episode

Part 1:

-So we know that the episode opens right after King's Tide, with the gang catching Camila up on what's happened and getting ready for bed

-Then the montage!!

-Luz goes to school, struggles to adjust to human school again, misses Eda and King, maybe gets teased/bullied by the kids there

-Meanwhile, the others are working on the portal back at the old house. The first part of the episode jumps back and forth between school and the witches. Flapjack makes a hole in the boards, where they find the box thing that Amity holds in the trailer.

After a while they figure it out, revealing this clue to the Wittebane brothers' past that we see in this promo pic:

Could this paper be the one we see with the grimwalker hand and a few other symbols? My guess is this paper was something left behind by either the Wittebanes or Caleb's wife before Belos lost the portal.

It looks about the same color and shape, and we see Amity, Gus's, and either Hunter or Willow's hands here- all people who are in the above scene. They're also pointing at the hand, which could be the grimwalker hand reach??

Just to continue this train of thought, we also see Hunter with a rake in the old house with a bandaged finger:

Perhaps grimwalker blood could be used to open a portal?

-Anyways, moving on with the plot. We see Vee's friends, maybe Luz meets them, Vee flirts with someone (!?!?)

-Then we have some fluff and angst slice of life stuff. We get some costume/human clothing stuff:

Over the evening and next day we get some character-focused scenes that Jade King mentioned:

Hopefully we'll get some information on Luz's dad! And halloween stuff here!

Part 2:

-I think in the second half of the episode the Hexsquad will split up. To continue the theme of keeping secrets, Luz and Hunter decide to investigate the old house and test the grimwalker theory without telling the others. Meanwhile, the others take a trip to the library and zoo to do research on Gravesfield's history and giraffes to see if either could help.

-I also believe it will be in this part of the episode that we get Wittebane flashbacks, due to that creepy witch hunter promo. These flashbacks could be just plain old flashbacks, an illusion Gus conjures up (after seeing Belos's memories in King's Tide), or done in a hand-drawn narrated story sort of way based on what the characters discover

-Fire might be involved in opening the portal, because of the fire in the witch hunter promo and what could be smoke in this crew art:

-As Luz and Hunter investigate, they stumble upon Goop Belos (which is why they have their trusty bat, rake, and masks!)

-While Luz and Hunter find and fight Belos, the others find out some important piece of information while doing human stuff and rush back. Camila joins them as they find Luz and Hunter to help get rid of Belos

-During the climactic battle they manage to open the portal. Just a wild theory here- maybe the opening of the portal is connected to Halloween night/full moon/something spooky like that, and Belos confronts them then not only to get revenge, but to get back to his human form (with help from the energy of that night) or return to the demon realm.

-The gang manages to capture/scare off Belos as the portal opens, and the last shot of the episode is them staring at the opened portal. Cliffhanger!

Questions I have

-not quite sure how Hunter saying "did you know that he was here?" fits in. I think he's either talking about the statues or Belos goop

-why didn't Hunter bring Flapjack to the mission??

-unsure of what will happen to Belos at the end of the episode. I doubt they'll kill him off this soon though

-Luz's Azura cosplay- where does that fit in?

-That leak with Hunter and Belos. Idk if it's real or how it will play out for sure

i think luz “it would be better if [character in a book that parallels her] LITERALLY didnt exist” and hunter “tries to drown himself to defeat belos” noceda should go to therapy

“did you hate living with me that much?”

He has captured me with his cringe-fail looks and complete lack of swag
