Chilling Adventures of Sabrina - Piece 2

One of the more disturbing aspects of Sabrina (and there are many) involves a friend of hers with short hair who is defiant against a foursome of alpha male, homophobic, misogynistic douchebags in lettermen jackets who represent privilege and entitlement. Their leader literally punches her right in the face when she charges him, but the principal (himself, played by Bronson Pinchot, often taking these repulsive human scum parts for their villainous value, similar to them) does nothing about it, nor does anyone else. So Sabrina, with help from three witches from the Satanic girls’ school who want her to not “enroll”, enlists the aid of fellow witches to get even with them. They lure these cretins to a cave after seductively offering them potential sexy fun time, but cast a spell that has them making out with each other as Sabrina snaps Polaroids compromising them.

A fellow warlock, Ambrose (Chance Perdomo), is seemingly her only true ally in terms of the supernatural, serving as an ear and heart when Sabrina has questions about forgoing everything for the Lord of the Dark. Told by Satan’s emissary, Faustus Blackwood (Richard Coyle), that she wouldn’t give up her freedom if she signed the sacred book, it is only revealed when it is time for her to give her blood and name that what he said wasn’t entirely true. And then later Satan himself, speaking through Pinchot’s principal as time stops, proclaims to Sabrina that he would have her. And later, when appearing to Mary Wardwell (Michelle Gomez), whose mission has been enigmatic at best, in black goat form, is assured by her that she would not fail him again. So it would seem that Sabrina’s efforts to maintain a sort of middle position between both worlds will be under atta
