A lot changes in this season of the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. This is the third part of the story, which follows the character as she heads to Hell in order to find her love. I’m going to be explaining the ending while covering key elements of the story. Keep in mind that these are spoilers, and I’m not covering every plot point of the season to focus on the end. So, to start Sabrina has a main quest this season. She needs to find three ancient and long lost relics.
This is due to their being a challenge for her mantle of being the Queen of Hell. There’s a charming prince of clay named Caliban, she battles against him for these relics. On the mortal side of things she has to help her coven as they’re losing their powers and a scary group of carnival folk have arrived. Except, those folks are actually Pagans and don’t like the witches all that much. They want to bring back their ancient ones.
This leads to a clashing between the two, and Sabrina in the middle. That sets up the just of the key points, and now to hit a big point. The final episode is rather shocking as it sends Sabrina into the future, being awakened by a future version of herself. She is then sent off on a quest to continue the loop, to battle back against the pagans where she meets a very disoriented Ambrose that’s faced eighty years alone. Together they’re obviously able to correct things to a degree as those Pagans killed everyone, and Sabrina goes back to keep that time loop going. Except, she decides not to and helps her past self stop Caliban from imprisoning her in the first place.
That’s right, Sabrina did get tricked and frozen in Hell with her Morningstar family. That set these events in motion, creating some sort of strange time issue that I’d perhaps call a paradox. Doesn’t matter, and the Sabrinas don’t care either. They make an important decision now that there’s two of them, they can have it all. The Sabrina that hadn’t been imprisoned yet decides to become the Queen of Hell officially as a full time job. You even get to see her coronation, which is quite a show. On the other hand, the Sabrina from the future that stopped the loop decided to become a teenager for awhile.
That’s about it, there are some dangling story lines and characters left for the season to come. Nick and Prudence find each other while lost, with the latter leaving Ambrose. The other Spellmans are generally alright, with Hilda being engaged. You don’t see much of Salem, the cat is chilling around though. The coven is being run by Zelda as she gets closer to a different sort of magical individual. That being Mambo Marie, a Voodoo priestess and the two are more than friends by the end. Oh, Faustus Blackwood is out there too and that sets up an interesting tease at the end of everything. Always a new threat, and whatever he’s awakened I’m not personally sure what it is.
I believe that about sums everything up, at least the key points and explains things. You have a Sabrina running things down in Hell, there’s another up on Earth chilling with her friends that are about the same. I went over the state of the rest of Spellmans including their cat pal. Finally, the tease of whatever Faustus Blackwood is bringing to the table. I look forward to the next part, I have always enjoyed this show and thought this was the best one yet.
