Rules Question Y'shtola (archidekt.com)

So I was playing around with this random deck on Archidekt, and I ended up with [[Y'shtola Rhul]] on the field with [[Watcher for Tomorrow]]. If Y'shtola puts Watcher in exile, does Watcher's ability get triggered before Y'shtola brings it back to the battlefield? Thanks in advance!

Y'shtola triggers.

Y'shtola's effect resolves.

As part of the resolution, Watcher leaves, then enters again.

Both Watcher abilities go on the stack, you decide the order.

a) The "leaves ability" returns the card that was previously exiled to your hand.

b) The Hideaway ability exiles a new card.

No matter the order of the abilities, the newly exiled card does not return to your hand and if nothing else happens, the end result is the same.

Thank you! I think I understand now :)
