Ambrose. Sabrina, Prudence, and Mambo Marie remove the bullet from Zelda

The gunshot fired by Mary Wardwell echoes throughout Spellman Mortuary. Sabrina and Ambrose find Zelda bleeding out on the floor. Ambrose runs for help as Sabrina stays by Zelda’s side. He returns with Prudence and Mambo Marie. They take Zelda downstairs into the embalming room and remove the bullet. They’re going to need great strength if they are going to save her. While Zelda remains alive, she is stuck in limbo, Mambo Marie explains. All they can do is burn the violet candles and wait to see if Zelda can find her way back. They are startled by sudden loud wailing.

Sabrina, Ambrose, and Prudence find a banshee, otherwise known as the wailing woman, lurking outside the mortuary. It’s an omen, meaning at least one member of the Spellman family is going to die soon.

Lucifer awakens in his body, free of the flesh Acheron. He confronts Lilith, who he plans to kill for the part she played in usurping him. However, Lilith reveals that she gave Blackwood the Mark of Cain before he left, which means no one can hurt him. And in exchange, he gave Lilith the Dark Lord’s seed. She is pregnant with his child. A male heir to his throne. He tells Lilith that she has not been pardoned, rather a stay of execution. He then orders her to summon the Infernal Court and tell them that "Daddy’s back, and he’s very, very angry."

He reveals that he cannot be killed as he bears the Mark of Cain. He’s come seeking an alliance. He wishes to see the Church of Night dead, same as them. They can kill the witches in their beds as they sleep. There are secret tunnels and a secret door that he can lead them in through. Pan agrees to lend Faustus some of his men to raid the Academy of Unseen Arts. They stole something from Faustus, and he wants to use the pagans to get it back.

Theo and Robin kiss after Robin reveals that he's a hobgoblin

At the Putnam house, Theo and Robin sit at the edge of the bed. Theo is admittedly nervous. He never thought he’d meet anyone who would accept him as he is. Not until he met Robin, who removes his hat and shirt to reveal his pointed ears. Robin is a hobgoblin. He possesses the ability of super speed. He then takes a seat next to Theo at the edge of the bed and asks if he’s ready to take the next step in their relationship. Theo and Robin proceed to have sex as only virgins can be sacrificed to the Green Man.

As Harvey and Roz make out on his bed, Roz has visions of Sabrina and Harvey together. She asks if he still has feelings for Sabrina, and he says that he doesn’t, though she keeps seeing glimpses of them together. Harvey assures Roz that he’s all in with her.

Sabrina comes up with a plan

Sabrina, Prudence, and Ambrose recount the current obstacles they are up against, including the encroaching pagans, Zelda trapped in limbo, and Hilda buried in the Cain Pit. Ambrose thinks that he knows of a way to gain power, though it won’t be easy. Ambrose found a siphoning spell. If they can get the hedge witches into the center of the stone circle, they can take their energy and replenish their coven. Unfortunately, with the hedge witches being older and few in numbers, the siphoning would likely kill them. Sabrina suggests that they find another way. Unless Sabrina knows of a more nubile coven to bring into the circle, they don’t have any other options. Sabrina claims that while it may be the very definition of an unholy Magdalene, she believes that she already belongs to another "coven." The Baxter High Ravenettes.

Mambo Marie prays to Baron-yo, leaders of the Gede for mercy as it is not yet Zelda’s time.

Sabrina then asks Roz what it was that she wanted to talk about, but Roz tells her it can wait. As for how Sabrina plans to get them to the Academy, she’ll use a spell of persuasion.

Ambrose and Prudence tell Sabrina that they'll deliver the effigies to Hilda and Zelda and protect them from Blackwood until they recover.

With the Academy under the control of Father Blackwood and the pagans, Ambrose fears that they’ll be coming to the house next. He asks Mambo Marie to watch over Zelda as they protect the house.

He tells Sabrina there is any easy way, in which the silver simply appears to her and a harder way, in which she must seek it out. Sabrina chooses the easy way. She must betray someone with a single kiss, as Judas did. Sabrina reluctantly agrees.

Judas tells Sabrina where to find the silver

Sabrina portals to Harvey at Baxter High. He asks if Roz talked to her, causing Sabrina to wonder if something happened between the two of them. Harvey’s no longer sure where they stand.

She then portals back to Judas to inquire about the hard way. He tells her about the Field of Blood. A burial ground where his silver is buried in a crypt with the first vampire, Vlad the Impaler.

They tell Nick that the great flowering is upon them. The pagans have been trying to resurrect the Green Man for centuries, and the time has finally come. "All flesh fails when he flowers", Robin says. He explains that first the locals are "seeded." They're implanted with a spore, something they eat that can grow inside them. Theo believes that’ll be through the caramel apples they're going to give away. And then, when the Green Man is ready, when he's ripe with the blood of a local virgin, that is when he will bloom. And then comes the pollination. It'll be the end of everyone in Greendale. Pan, Nagaina, Circe, and the pagans barge into the garage and capture them. Nagaina reminds Harvey of what she told him when they first met, that once she has a virgin’s scent, they can’t hide from her.

Edward then gestures towards the framed photos on the wall of the new moon, half-moon, and full-moon. Maiden, Mother, Crone. She realizes what Edward has been attempting to show her. It’s the three phases of the moon and the three phases of a witch’s life.

Zelda returns to her body and awakens with the answers to the coven regaining power and defeating the pagans. However, she’s too late. Before her stands a banshee. She looks over to her left to see Faustus standing over Mambo Marie’s body. He then stabs Zelda in the chest, killing her.

He then does a spell that frees him and embeds Sabrina into the stone wall. He asks why Sabrina didn’t take the easy way and betray someone with a kiss. Sabrina replies that she’s not a betrayer. However, Caliban begs to differ considering Sabrina chose the quest over her family. While Sabrina was dashing off, collecting trinkets, Caliban was arranging a coup. Caliban then reveals to Sabrina that Lucifer and Lilith have been embedded into the stone walls as well. He encases Sabrina in stone completely and leaves as he has a mortal world to conquer and a tenth circle to create.

Meanwhile Nick, Harvey, Roz, Theo, and Robin have been taken to the carnival by the pagans. They pull the blindfold off of Theo and Roz, who are tied up on the dunk tank.

The pagans also reveal that have entrapped Harvey inside the Green Man as his virgin sacrifice. Theo and Roz scream helplessly with their hands bound and mouths gagged. Harvey pleads out for help, but his prayers go unanswered. Harvey is killed as the vines of the Green Man stab into his chest. And with that, the pollination begins. Roz and Theo scream for Sabrina to come and save them, unaware that she is encased in stone.
