Answer

Ruling: The unit returns to its owner's hand (not the controller's hand), and the owner channels 1 rune exhausted.

Nuances:

  • The player who cast Hostile Takeover is the controller of the unit, but not the owner
  • Retreat specifically uses the term "owner" which means the original owner of the card, not the current controller

Does this answer look correct?
