When the credits rolled on the last episode Nick got high and drunk, freed the Dark Lord and passed out all while the Pagans were at the gates of the Academy giving the witches a three-day ultimatum to join them or die and leaving the gift of a turned to stone Dorcas and an even more insane Agatha. So needless to say, things aren’t going well when The Devil Within starts, Nick is about to do a one day detox to get all of the stuff he’s taken out of his system so that he can fight and the council shows up at the Academy with the second challenge in the Unholy Regalia which might give to coven a fighting chance at defeating the Pagans.

WHAT WORKED: Theo’s very real talk with Robin about her transitioning and spending time with him and trying to get to know him better, which might actually help them in the long run because he doesn’t seem to believe in their Pagan ways anymore. The Devil playing on Harvey’s insecurities and causing him to make rash decisions which are dangerous because the male ego is one hell of a drug.

THE DEVIL’S DUE:

Hilda realizes she’s been hexed to an arachnid existence.

Ambrose and Prudence think that an underground Stonehenge is the way to Dorcas from her stone life and possibly help the coven.

The Pagans trick a couple of teenage witches into becoming their sacrifice to the old gods.

Sabrina makes a play for Pilates Bowl in Golgotha.

Lucifer is acting like a spoiled brat and proving that The Devil’s Advocate was right, in his current willingness to let the whole coven die and let the old gods take over to spite them, Pride is the greatest sin.

BEST MOMENT: Sabrina realizing that everything isn’t always about what she wants and she has to consider the effects of her actions on others when hell’s council shows up at the Academy to issue their next challenge.

EPISODE’S MVP: Prudence. In order to determine what happened to her sister Agatha, she went into her brain and tried to pull her back from the brink of insanity at great danger to her own mind. If she hadn’t done that, she never would have learned that they were dealing with the actual god Pan and the coven would have been very unprepared for their battle with pagans. For being ride or die for her family and coven, sounding the alarm and stopping a deranged Agatha from seeking “revenge” without killing her, even after she stops them from sending a warning SOS to the fringe witches. Prudence balances strength, determination, and compassion all in under an hour, making her this episodes MVP!

Overall: 7.2
