Episode 5 of Willow commences with our intrepid group fleeing the relentless pursuit of the Crone's minions. Willow, wielding flames from his wand, valiantly attempts to fend them off, but they are quickly surrounded, leaving them with no choice but to venture into the forbidding Wildwood. This mysterious forest, haunted by unseen spirits, acts as a barrier, keeping the Crone's minions at bay.
Once they've gained sufficient distance, Willow encourages Elora to harness her latent powers and delve deeper into the art of magic. But alas, her attempts yield no results. Meanwhile, Graydon and Boorman engage in a banal discussion about women, only to be interrupted by Princess Kit's sharp tongue, as is her wont.
Boorman's sharp eyes catch a glimpse of a nearby skull, and he manages to warn the group before they are ambushed by a swarm of soldiers—Bone Reavers, it turns out.
Kit, stepping forward with resolve, addresses Scorpia, the chieftess of this tribe, pleading for their release. She offers to spare Boorman, deeming him "the worst" among them. But Scorpia dismisses this suggestion and decides to detain them all.
While imprisoned, Kit continues her barrage of insults, this time targeting Elora, and grows increasingly concerned about Jade, who is not among them. Convinced that Jade has fallen, she lambasts Elora for attempting to offer solace. Yet, Elora reveals a wand, a potential means of escape.
With Elora's assistance, they manage to escape, but are soon surrounded by Bone Reavers. Kit demands Jade's release, who is tied to a tree. Tragically, no one comes to Jade's aid, but she manages to break free and confronts Scorpia in a fierce duel. Just as she's about to deliver the finishing blow, Scorpia notices a tattoo on Jade's neck—the same mark as hers. It is the symbol of General Kael, the first Bone Reaver and the father of their 15 siblings. This revelation prompts Scorpia to release Jade and the others.
A jubilant celebration erupts, with Kit engaging in a drinking game against a Bone Reaver and emerging victorious. Graydon enjoys a shave as the dance floor slows down. Scorpia and Boorman share a tender moment on the dance floor, while Kit and Jade's teenage angst simmers beneath the surface.
Finally, a breakthrough occurs. Kit and Jade seem poised for a kiss... until Trolls descend upon them, abducting Kit in a sudden attack.
