The episode was noted by several critics for its reveal that secondary character Amity Blight has a crush on Luz Noceda, with many seeing it as a major step for LGBT representation in Disney media.

Luz panics, as her mother believes that she's in a summer camp and is unaware that she's in another world learning how to be a witch, and responds that she is fine.

Upon returning to the Owl House, Luz learns that her mentor, Eda, will be a chaperone at the Grom, while their roommate, King, will be the dance's emcee with Gus.

The next day, Amity and her siblings, Edric and Emira, help Luz prepare to fight Grometheus by creating illusions of her worst fears.

Later, Luz's duel starts, and initially manages to hold off against Grometheus, until it takes the form of her greatest fear: Her mother learning of her witch training.

Terrified, Luz runs from the school, causing everyone to panic, until King overcomes his stage fright and calms them down, directing the students towards the fight.

Back in the Owl House, Luz finally sends a text to her mother about her experiences, albeit keeping it vague enough for her to remain unaware of the Boiling Isles.

Several news outlets, such as Variety[5] and NY Post[6] said that the episode "made history" for including Disney's first main bisexual character.

Marcelo Garcia of CBR said that the episode was "a tremendous step in the right direction for Disney, a company that has struggled with LGBTQ+ representation in recent years.

"[11] At the same time, some argued that the show's LGBTQ representation falls on the shoulders of the writers and creators of The Owl House instead of Disney[12] while Michele Kirichanskaya of The Mary Sue wrote that shows like The Owl House, in tandem with She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and The Prom, it breaks down "old heteronormative traditions" of prom itself.
