The Owl House: Once Upon a Swap (2020)
Simple concept, solid execution
Can anyone really be upset with a good body swap episode? Either way, 'Once Upon a Swap' is a decent example of what Owl House "filler episodes" should be.
It provides a small bit of insight into the relationship between Eda and Lilith while also exploring the latter's motives. This small bit is still enough to be both interesting and engaging - encouraging further viewing for the rest of the season to get the eventual pay-off of Eda's and Lilith's confrontations.
The other two plot lines following King in Luz' body and Eda's in King's body are entertaining on their own too, without the need for lore and story like mentioned above.
The Owl House: Something Ventured, Someone Framed (2020)
Another Hexside classic!
Hexside is a very fun environment to explore in the Owl House universe, and 'Something Ventured, Someone Framed' helps expand on that to an even greater extent.
Learning more about Eda's "mysterious past" and teenage antics is also very enjoyable, along with the fact that she's willing to atone for those actions in order to help her apprentice Luz with something that Eda herself disagrees with.
This helps to set up Eda's close bond with Luz that follows, which provides massively entertaining dilemmas and plot points later in the show. It also gives us more content from Gus, which I will NEVER complain about.
The Owl House: Escape of the Palisman (2020)
Fun and unique!
I'm always a fan of a Hexside episode featuring Gus and Willow, and 'Escape of the Palisman' is another pretty solid example!
The secondary plot, however, is very unmemorable, which is unfortunate since it sets up a pretty important plot point, the fact that the elixirs are beginning to have less of an effect on Eda's curse.
The main plot is pretty good, it helps to establish Owlbert's character for the first time, as well as their new-found care and respect for Luz. It also builds on both the character of the Bat Queen as well as the incredibly interesting lore of the Boiling Isles and the Owl House universe as a whole.
Establishing the concept of a Palisman is not only fun and interesting, but it also helps set up episodes and plot points in later seasons that are extremely memorable!
The Owl House: Sense and Insensitivity (2020)
Decent filler episode!
As a filler episode, it works fine! It's got good jokes, a fun plot, interesting characters, but I personally don't find it too enjoyable to watch.
While fun, the plot itself is still rather boring. Luz enters a writing competition, King becomes a famous author, Eda tries to steal a magic flower, there's nothing too interesting or engaging that really grabs you like the later episodes of The Owl House do. Watching it the first time was mildly enjoyable, but re-watching it recently was simply uninteresting.
However, it is really nice to see Luz develop her 'magic' more! The light spell to stun the publisher - while it was a bit of a push - was definitely the beginning of the wide array of extremely interesting abilities she learns later.
In terms of character development, the best part is probably the interactions between Eda and Lilith. It's nice to see their intricate relationship be expanded upon more, as well as opening up a kinder side of Lilith that wasn't seen before!
