Roz and Harvey get closer while his dad strikes up a relationship with the carnivals snake charmer, Nick is dealing with his Lucifer body sharing trauma by drinking and sexing his days away. Sabrina’s aunts find out that she’s the queen of hell and send her and Ambrose to get their covens power back. Theo, Roz, and Harvey sneak off to the carnival to figure out what is going on but, with Robyn working as a double agent feeding intel back to his pagan family the residents of Greendale might be in over their heads.

WHAT WORKED: The realness of Nick’s pain was well written and superbly acted. The way that he dealt with his trauma, lack of body and soul autonomy and violation felt real and watching him go on his journey to heal or burn away /forget the pain felt genuine.

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES: A visit to the seers’ tent at the carnival gives Roz some kind of magical flu, complete with shivers and a chill and she is going to need Sabrina’s help to get squared away, except with the covens powers waning, she might not be able to help in time.

While trying to do a celestial bath and restore their powers, the coven comes face to face with the pagans who are celebrating a feast day of their own and it gets hella awkward when their traditions combine.

Dorian might be low key addicted to angel blood which might cause problems for everyone in Greendale and the Academy with the Carnival Pagans in town. 

Agatha and Dorcas get lost in the wood while trying to make peace with the pagans and since this episode is the halfway point of the season, we know it’s only a matter of time before things go bad, before getting worse.

The Pagans SWALLOWED the moon, broke into the academy and left bread baskets by the bed and snakes IN the beds and are keeping a clay Roz in one of the carnival tents and that’s not half of it!

BEST MOMENT: The Spellman family witches try a spell to conjure rain to get rid of the pagan interlopers but the Carnival Pagan leader sees them and stops their plan. Watching the Spellman family try and work together and failing was nice and added a familiar element to a tense situation.

EPISODE’S MVP: Hilda. Aunt Hilda is always the MVP, she’s kind, thoughtful and the low key voice of reason in the coven. In this episode, she finally starts to get her voice and I am super happy for her, she’s newly engaged to her bookstore boss and she’s got her whole groove back!

Overall: 7.6
