Millennium Group offender profilers Frank Black (Lance Henriksen) and Peter Watts (Terry O'Quinn) become embroiled in a growing schism within the Group, prompted by the discovery of the True Cross. "Owls" is a two-part episode, with the story continued in "Roosters".
"Owls" was inspired by the earlier second season episode "The Hand of St. Sebastian", with Morgan wishing to introduce secular beliefs within the Millennium Group. The episode has received positive responses from critics, and was viewed by approximately 5.5 percent of the available audience in its initial broadcast.
