Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Recap Season 1, Episode 7

Like Christmas Jews, witches spend a deadly Thanksgiving going to the movies and eating Chinese food. I find this detail so charming. Harvey has to hunt deer, as the Kinkles do. And that ends the charming part of the procedure because the rest of this episode becomes real macabre, starting with the bloody bowels nailed to Spellman's doorway.

A bit of witch tradition: Fourteen women of the night church, once, were expelled from Greendale. The youngest and the strongest witch slit your throat so that his coven can eat his body through the spring. A kind of DIY Give Party. Fun for the whole family! So the church of the night honors the legacy of this queen with this lottery which is, note by note, pretty much the same as the Hunger Games. Look, I know that Hunger Games riff on the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur and so it is technically not possible to be aHunger Games scam "- myths, like the moon, belong to everyone – but if you go there and you do not If you want it to sound like you've just copied and pasted Suzanne Collins, maybe do not call for the potential "tribute" sacrifices.

Sabrina is disgusted by this occasional Shirley Jackson witch population, but like anything awful in the night church, Aunt Zelda assures Sabrina that it's an honor to be named for the Queendom. (Queenship? Queenery?) Zelda will show up because Hilda, an excommunicated, is disqualified. Obviously, Sabrina will do "I VOLUNTEER!" At the last minute, but we can let Zelda fool herself into thinking that she is putting her name in the hat.

When this inevitable moment occurs, Sabrina calls Zelda's bluff in front of the entire coven: "Unless, of course, you want to admit that all this is barbaric, as my father thought." (That's right: when Edward was High Priest, Father Blackwood got a DM from the Dark Lord and restarted them.) Prudence wears this all-white dress with an Elizabethan ruffle collar, as you would for such an event, and she draws the lot of Queen. Sabrina becomes a "maid", so she is Prudence's dog for the next three days.

I like the fact that Sabrina and Prudence quickly overcame the surface rivalry and moved into this zone of mutual trepidation with a fascinating and rancorous respect. Prudence is a true believer – she wants to be transubstantiated and reside in the heart of the Dark Lord until the trumpets of the sound of the apocalypse, which is a way of passing eternity – and Sabrina is the voice of doubt. But besides Harvey, does Sabrina believe in anything?

Later in the night, Prudence takes Sabrina's bed and Sabrina sleeps on the floor (this house is huge! There are really no other options?). Sabrina wakes up to the sound of Fiona Apple's breath; she follows the music and discovers that PRUDENCE LAUNCHES AN ORGY. Yes, Nick is here. Of course, Nick is here! "No plebee can refuse a queen the day before her sacrifice." Nick, always the inclusive guest, is everything: "Join us, Sabrina!" Sabrina grabs her pink Pepto-Bismol pajamas as if they were not keeping her alive and leaving the rest of the witches to her. Teenagers, am I right?

The next day, Sabrina persuades Prudence to come to Baxter High with her, proposing to meet "many mortal boys to torment and seduce, or both," which is also what gets me out of bed in the morning. . Sabrina tells everyone that Prudence is her cousin. Sabrina does not worry about introducing Prudence, whose super-power is the control of the mind, the gentle and fragile Harvey Kinkle? All of Sabrina's mortal friends discover their family history. Prudence confirms that Suzie is the descendant of a "true ally" of witches. Harvey realizes that his ancestors got the lands on which they live in the old-genocide of the aboriginal population-and that Prudence recoils before this curly haired child faster than you can say "hunter of witch".

Wardell takes the girls to Greendale Woods to meet someone who would have "rejected royalty." (Agreed, so is the queenship!) The Weird Sisters are part of this adventure. The situation of each wardrobe is A ++. Where can I buy this merlot bomber jacket that Prudence wears?

The witch in the woods is a bit of a Halloween basics for my taste, I must say. Apparently, the convenient revelation of his high priest was that he had to initiate him; it was a rape, regardless of her age, so she fled to the woods where she has lived since. Sabrina points out that this is possible Father Blackwood, like this fiery priest of the past, acts for his own interests and not at the request of the Dark Lord.

In case it's not enough male violence for you, Harvey has gone hunting for Kinkle Men because there's no more time like Thanksgiving to weakly prove your manhood to your abusive father! A member of their hunting team kills and kills a deer, which is also a familiar, which means that when he dies, this goblin body bursts through the fur of the deer. gross. The witches make this pentagon to hide the deer / goblin from the men, and once they are clear, Sabrina insists that there is no chance that Harvey has killed the familiar. "How is your faith in the mortal boy different from my faith in the Dark Lord?" Prudence asks Sabrina, which at first seemed to me to be a legitimate question, but the more I thought about it, the more I was like, uh, because Harvey is not literally the devil and that Sabrina I met him?

Harvey did not, but Sabrina fears that the Weird Sisters will take revenge on him for the crime he did not commit. Sabrina casts a protective spell on her boyfriend. That's nice, not to mention those height differences that are perfect for hugging, but I'm also wondering about the moral implications of using magic on your deadly boyfriend without his consent or consent. I'll go with … not great.

Back at the Spellman home, Constance Blackwood panics because she thinks she is losing her pregnancy and "Faustus will never forgive me". Men in this world, come together! Zelda says the launch of dangerous spells can disrupt a pregnancy. Constance begins to babble about how she should do it. "They always whisper, plot … those who sluts … considering taking what belongs to my children. Issues: Raised. So, Constance thinks that Blackwood has other children and that one of these children is Prudence! Prudence could claim what she has, the title of her father and, I suppose, other important objects. Constance wants her away. The only solution is a homicide, carefully disguised as a ritual sacrifice.

Sabrina takes this information and the word vomits to Prudence. This seems to be a theme with Sabrina. Even though she is the last at the witches party here, everyone in her life knows more about magic than she does! – She acts as if she thought she was an expert. And as soon as she even has a piece of information, she only scrambles or acts without thinking or consulting anyone who could give him useful advice. It's very teenager, but also – not smart, Sabrina! Anyway, this time it works, but I feel that it will not always be to Sabrina's advantage to be so open with everyone, especially with Witch Wardell.

So, Sabrina invites the Blackwoods and Weird Sisters to Spellman's house for dinner, and Hilda prepares her truth cake. "It's my mother's secret recipe when she thought my dad had an affair." Ambrose is delighted to see Prudence – her line that reads: "body and soul, most body "is perfection – and me too, because that's my dress! Give us all this a moment for the prowess of Prudence! The strange sisters are in their best early-Lorde cosplay. Sabrina still wears her headband.

All the dirt comes out: Yes, Constance cursed the lottery. Yes, Prudence is the daughter of Blackwood. (Her mother died "indirectly", because she was thrown into a river when Blackwood refused to marry her.WOW, what a backpack.) My favorite part is that where the Weird Sisters want to know if his daughters too and Blackwood says, "No, you're just orphans."

Sabrina suggests to Blackwood to get another of these messages from the Dark Lord and to ban the banquet forever, and no one who is not at this table needs to know all their secrets. Oh, and Prudence still wants to sit on the throne of the skulls. I understood. She looks amazing. I would not want to waste that outfit either.

While Blackwood is about to keep his promise, this other witch gets up and SLITS. HER. OWN. THROAT. Everyone pauses for a second then misses "Frea lives! Praise Satan "and they eat it. GROSS! Nobody even cooks it! What is shit. Father Blackwood intervenes. The Weird Sisters do it too.

Sabrina is repulsed. I'm right here with her. At least, Aunt Z did not participate. She even told Sabrina that she would never let them do what they had done to Mildred (winner of the queen of the party). Even if it was the Dark Lord's will, "It would not have mattered." Well! It's a relief.

Mysteries in progress: Wait, are all witches cannibals? They eat mortals and other witches? Will Kinkle Boys survive the Weird Sisters attack? What's Ros's "ruse" to help him see his vision go away?
