Chilling Adventures of Sabrina isn’t holding back with many deaths occurring in this episode, along with Sabrina off to find the final Unholy Regalia item.
In the previous episode, Sabrina enlists the help of the hedge witches to take on the pagans and capture Circe so Dorcas and Roz can be returned to flesh. As for Hilda, she transforms into a spider thanks to Circe and Zelda is forced to shoot and bury her in the Cain Pit. Lilith flees Hell with Lucifer after her, but he quickly captures up with her and she asks for Blackwood’s help to ensure their survival as she has been asked to separate them. Caliban tried to help Sabrina with Roz’s situation, but it didn’t go to plan as the spell could only work if Harvey truly loved Roz.
Everything Has Gone To Heaven
Sabrina (Kiernan Shipka) and Ambrose (Chance Perdomo) race out of their rooms and find Zelda (Miranda Otto) on the floor, so Ambrose calls for Mambo Marie (Skye P. Marshall) and Prudence (Tati Gabrielle) to help. Mambo Marie removes the bullet and informs them there is life, but she is lost in Limbo. They hear a scream and Mambo Marie warns them to not let whatever it is into the house. Outside the three of them find a banshee—one or more of the Spellmans will die.
Lucifer (Luke Cook) wakes to find him as himself with Blackwood now gone, who has been given the Mark of Cain by Lilith (Michelle Gomez). In exchange for that, he gave Lucifer’s seed to Lilith, who is now with child. She tells him it’s a boy, which grants Lilith merely a stay of execution and she’s ordered to summon the Infernal Court.
Carcosa (Will Swenson) is angered after four pagans were killed when Blackwood (Richard Coyle) is brought in, showing them the Mark of Cain and seeking an alliance. He tells them about the secret entryways into the Academy, in exchange for retrieving his precious egg.
Meanwhile, Theo (Lachlan Watson) and Robin (Jonathan Whitesell) are holding hands when Robin confesses he is a hobgoblin, which means he can run fast amongst other things. The pair decide to sleep together as they are ready, but also Theo doesn’t want to be sacrificed to the Green Man. Meanwhile, things are getting hot and heavy with Roz (Jaz Sinclair) and Harvey (Ross Lynch), but Roz sees visions of Sabrina and Harvey kissing. She stops and asks him if he still loves Sabrina and he says he loves Roz, while also accidentally mentioning the Pygmalion spell, which she doesn’t know about.
Saved By The Cheerleaders
In Hell, Lucifer asks the demons to kneel and promptly kills one of the Kings when he speaks against him. Beelzebub informs Lucifer of the quest for the Unholy Regalia when Caliban (Sam Corlett) introduces himself, and it seems the quest must be completed.
At the Spellmans, Ambrose talks of a siphoning spell that could take the powers from the hedge witches and replenish the coven. However, it would kill them, but Sabrina gets an idea. Sabrina tells Roz she’s in need of a young, energetic group…the Ravenettes! She asks if they can perform at the Academy to help restore the coven’s powers. The Ravenettes stand in the middle of the stone circle and perform to ‘Hey Mickey’, while the coven performs a spell and takes some of their energies.
After they finish, Blackwood and the pagans arrive, but Sabrina is able to transport the Ravenettes to school and the coven escapes to Hell. However, Sabrina left her aunties effigies behind and returns to retrieve them where she has a brief run-in before escaping again. The pagans find Circe (Lucie Guest) and a dead Dorcas (Abigail Cowen), who was attacked by Agatha (Adeline Rudolph). Blackwood now wants every Spellman dead.
Meanwhile in Limbo, Zelda walks into the Spellman house and Hilda (Lucy Davis) is there also. Zelda is speaking of returning when Edward Spellman (Georgie Daburas) walks in. He says he will help guide Zelda and they must start in the past. They come across a young Zelda and Blackwood at the Academy and look at a spell Blackwood ripped out, which features moons. In another memory, Hilda and Zelda find a baby Sabrina left in their house and Edward prompts his present sisters to look in the basket where they find a blanket with a half-moon.
Back at Baxter High, Ms. Wardwell is angry when she enters the classroom and an announcement is made for Roz, Harvey, and Theo to head to the office. They are approached by Carcosa and Nagaina (Vanessa Rubio), but Robin whisks the three of them away, revealing he has betrayed them. The group of four hope to reach out to Sabrina using her special marker.
The Third and Final Quest
Lucifer and Lilith approach Sabrina to inform her she needs to complete the final challenge and tell her of her baby brother, while Prudence and Ambrose will go back to help the aunties. Lucifer says only Judas knows where the silver is and he speaks to Sabrina in her head telling her to go to a place in the Ninth Circle and she’ll find Judas alongside Cassius and Brutus.
Ambrose informs Marie that the house may be attacked next, so Ambrose will be the first line of defence against the banshee and Blackwood, but Prudence can have the killing blow.
Sabrina finds Judas somewhat entombed and she offers him water in exchange for the location. One of the ways to find it? Betray someone she loves with a kiss. She then heads to school and finds Harvey, and he brings up the issue with Roz briefly and she backs out of kissing him. She returns to Judas and the other option is to go to the Field of Blood where his silver is buried in the crypt with the first vampire, Vlad the Impaler.
Sabrina is about to enter into another painting when Nick (Gavin Leatherwood) comes across her and he realises her priorities have changed. After she leaves, Nick receives an SOS message from Roz and he goes to help Sabrina’s friends. Robin tells them the locals will be filled with a spore and the Green Man will then bloom with the blood of a virgin and everyone will die. That is when Carcosa, Nagaina, and the carnival folk barge in.
After finding the silver, Sabrina begins counting it, however, Vlad (Michael Antonakos) awakens and enchants her with his voice. It appears Vlad is the son of Judas and he says he will drink her blood, but it burns his mouth as she has diluted celestial blood.
The End Is Nigh
Prudence hears Agatha laughing and she learns of Dorcas’s death. Agatha is stabbed by Prudence, who is then stabbed in the back by Blackwood. Ambrose finds Prudence dying by her sister and tells him what Blackwood is after.
Still in Limbo, Edward shows his sisters the future where witches gather to see an old, white-haired Zelda into the afterlife with Sabrina and Hilda by her side. Edward then gestures to drawings of the new moon, half-moon, and full moon, to which Zelda also says maiden, mother and crone—the three phases of a witch’s life. It is then that Zelda wakes up with the knowledge of how they can regain their power. However, when she wakes, she sees the banshee, a dead Mambo Marie, and Blackwood looking on. He then stabs Zelda and the banshee finally stops screaming.
Sabrina returns to Judas who wishes to feel the silver, but Sabrina is tricked as Caliban used a glamour. He traps Sabrina in the stone, and she sees Lucifer and Lilith have also been entombed.
At the end of the episode, Roz and Theo are held captive at the carnival and they see Robin and Nick have been killed. They then see Harvey is trapped, giving the Green Man life. Vines cover Harvey and his neck snaps, with the Green Man releasing spores into the air…
Overall Thoughts?
Well… Zelda survived, only to be killed again and Hilda still remains in the Cain Pit, which means she could likely be dead. This episode really is going Game of Thrones-style and just killing off everyone, but with so many characters killed, something has to happen in the final episode of Season 3, since we know they can’t be that cruel with a Season 4 already in the works! Despite this, things are not looking good for the witches with the Green Man now releasing its spores into the air and bringing death to mortals and witches. Who’s going to stop it all? Will it be Sabrina even though she’s entombed alongside Lucifer and Lilith? Let’s find out…
