Every moment of that episode was a tribute to all the secondary characters in the Owl House. Every person in Hexside had a epic moment (except professor Homunculus oddly enough) and I am living for it.
I have always loved secondary characters more than the main characters in shows and the Owl House came closest to me breaking that streak. But this episode blew me out of the water.
Dana loves these characters, from Luz and Eda to Bump and Gus. Gus might have been only added on since he doesnt show up in the Beta designs (only Luz, Amity and Willow show up) but I believe Dana cares as much for Gus as the others.
(Though he might not have the time or charater development. Honestly, I feel Dana and the other Owl House creators don’t have the timeline they want to accurately tell this story. Season 3, right now, is 3 hour long episodes. the last 3 episodes to show have traumatized three or four of the main characters and I honestly believe if season three was longer they would space all the lore out more.)
