Chilling Adventures of Sabrina | Season 1

"Chapter One: October Country"

Sabrina Spellman is about to turn 16—on Halloween no less. She spends her days hanging with her boyfriend Harvey, and best friends Roz and Susie. However, on her 16th birthday she must fully embrace her witch half through a dark baptism, where she will pledge loyalty to the Dark Lord Satan. But Sabrina is torn, as she must choose between her friends and her family. Sabrina spends the days leading up to her birthday finding answers to her questions about the ritual. Meanwhile, Sabrina's mortal teacher Mary Wardwell is killed by Madam Satan who then transforms to impersonate her, seeking to bring Sabrina over to the Dark Lord's side. Sabrina must also deal with three sister witches known as the Weird Sisters, who look down on her for being a "half-breed".

"Chapter Two: The Dark Baptism"

Sabrina and her family are visited by Father Blackwood, the High Priest of the Church of Night. Blackwood seeks to reassure Sabrina and answer her questions about her baptism to sway her. Meanwhile, Ambrose deals with a corpse for the Spellman funeral home who he believes was a warlock —and possibly killed by a witch hunter. Sabrina's friend, Susie, is being bullied by four football players, causing Sabrina to take matters into her own hands. She teams up with the Weird Sisters to teach the boys a lesson by scaring them. However, she is still racked with the choice. Sabrina's birthday arrives, and she decides to spend her last night with her friends at a Halloween party. As midnight approaches, Sabrina heads toward her dark baptism with unease. The ritual is completely different from what Blackwood described and at the last minute Sabrina denies the Dark Lord and flees. She is attacked in the woods but arrives at her house. There, she proclaims her refusal to sign the Book of the Beast, ending the baptism.

"Chapter Three: The Trial of Sabrina Spellman"

Sabrina must deal with the aftermath of her decision to leave her dark baptism. She is summoned by the coven and Blackwood, who are suing her for breaking her promise. Zelda and Hilda are also affected and lose their powers during the trial. Sabrina hires a mortal lawyer who specializes in witch law to help her win the trial. Madam Satan does everything in her power to manipulate Sabrina. As the trial continues, Blackwood is adamant that Sabrina must sign her name in the Book of the Beast as her father promised she would days after she was born. However, Hilda provides evidence that Sabrina had received a Catholic baptism prior to her father's agreement, which shocks Blackwood and the council. In the end, they offer Sabrina a deal: to remain in the mortal world while also attending The Academy of the Unseen Arts. Hilda is ex-communicated for her role as a witness in Sabrina's Christian baptism. Meanwhile, Ambrose seeks to learn more about the warlock he thinks was killed by witch hunters.

 

"Chapter Four: Witch Academy"

Sabrina prepares to attend The Academy of Unseen Arts, and plans to find a way to stop Satan. Sabrina is met with contempt by some students and staff, but makes a friend in Nick Scratch. Blackwood tasks Sabrina with solving an arcane puzzle known as the Acheron Configuration, and he agrees she may join conjuring class upon solving the puzzle. The Weird Sisters haze Sabrina with a ritual known as harrowing. Sabrina discovers the history of student deaths due to harrowing, and enlists ghosts to help her against the Weird Sisters. It is revealed that Blackwood is behind their attack. Hilda aids Ambrose in astral projection so he may go on a date with Luke, which almost goes horribly wrong. During this time, Madam Satan arrives and searches the Spellman house for items to aid her in her quest and spy on Sabrina. Meanwhile, Sabrina's friends deal with visions of a monster in the mines. Later, Sabrina discovers her father created the Acheron Configuration. With help from one of his journals given to her by Nick, Sabrina solves the arcane puzzle and unknowingly unleashes a demon.

 

"Chapter Five: Dreams in a Witch House"

The sleep demon, known as Batibat, places Sabrina, Ambrose, Zelda, and Hilda into a deep sleep where they are tortured in their dream-turned-nightmares in order for one of them to release Batibat from the house. Madam Satan roams their dreams in search of Sabrina in order to wake her. When she awakens, she attempts to banish Batibat but fails. Sabrina enlists Salem's help to distract Batibat while she lucid dreams to get help from Hilda and Ambrose. Hilda informs Sabrina that Batibat must be lured into a trap. With the help of Hilda's familiars, the spiders, Sabrina successfully traps Batibat, waking Hilda, Zelda, and Ambrose. After Batibat is placed back into containment, Sabrina visits Madam Satan after realizing she is not mortal.

"Chapter Six: An Exorcism in Greendale"

Madam Satan lies to Sabrina and claims she was her father's secretary when he was a High Priest of the Church of Night, and that he asked her to watch over Sabrina. Susie, Roz, and Harvey all experience frightening apparitions of Susie's Uncle Jesse and they confide in Sabrina. Sabrina astral projects to Uncle Jesse's room and discovers he is possessed by a parasitic demon, which she later identifies as Apophis. Sabrina, with the help of Madam Satan and her aunts, successfully performs an exorcism that expels Apophis from Uncle Jesse. The next day Uncle Jesse dies after suffering a heart attack. However, it is later shown that Madam Satan was responsible, and she thanks Jesse for playing his part in the Dark Lord's plan.

 

"Chapter Seven: Feast of Feasts"

The Spellmans are selected to host the annual Feast of Feasts and Zelda volunteers to represent their family in the lottery for Queen of the Feast, who is sacrificed and eaten at the feast. During the selection, Sabrina replaces Zelda, and becomes handmaiden to Prudence who is selected as Queen. Sabrina spends the week trying to convince Prudence to reject her selection, and brings her to Baxter High, where she claims Harvey's family are witch hunters. As a precaution, Sabrina casts a protection spell on Harvey. Later, Sabrina discovers that Lady Blackwood was responsible for selecting Prudence as Queen, as Father Blackwood is her biological father. At the feast, Father Blackwood announces that Prudence cannot fulfill her duties as Queen, but before he can cancel the feast, Mildred sacrifices herself and is declared Queen of Feasts. The next day, Agatha and Dorcas perform a ritual to kill Harvey and his brother in the mines.

 

"Chapter Eight: The Burial"

Harvey survives the mine collapse thanks to Sabrina's protection spell; however, his brother is killed along with four other humans. During Tommy's funeral, Harvey and his father have an argument which gets physical and Tommy's casket falls over. Roz picks up Tommy's helmet and has a vision of Dorcas and Agatha in the mines crushing puppets of Harvey and Tommy with rocks. Roz confides in Sabrina about the vision, called the cunning by her Nana Ruth, after her family was cursed for crossing a witch generations ago. Sabrina tells Prudence, and they, along with Nick and Dorcas, assist in resurrecting Tommy and replacing his soul with Agatha's. However, they use the Cain Pit in the cemetery at the Spellman Sister's Mortuary to bring her back to life. Meanwhile, Father Blackwood consults with Ambrose about his house arrest, and informs him the deal of immunity still stands if he names his co-conspirators in the plot to blow up the Vatican but Ambrose refuses. Zelda sleeps with Father Blackwood. While Harvey and his father are having dinner, Tommy returns home.

"Chapter Nine: The Returned Man"

Father Blackwood allows Ambrose to attend the academy despite his sentence, and he obtains his own familiar, a mouse called Leviathan. Agatha becomes sick and begins coughing up dirt. Hilda advises Ambrose that Agatha was never meant to be brought back to life. Roz has another vision, of dogs tearing Tommy apart. Sabrina discovers that Tommy's soul is in limbo. Harvey worries for his brother as he is not what he was before the mine collapse. Sabrina travels to mortal limbo with the help of Madam Satan where she briefly encounters her mother's soul before finding Tommy. However, she is unsuccessful at bringing him back as he is eaten by the Soul-eater. Meanwhile, Susie has been communicating in secret with their ancestor, Dorothea, who asks if the Spellmans are still witches. Later, Sabrina finally tells Harvey that she is a witch and that she needs to kill Tommy, but Harvey chooses to do it and ends his relationship with Sabrina.

 

"Chapter Ten: The Witching Hour"

Roz and Susie confront Sabrina about being a witch and she tells them everything. Madam Satan sacrifices a student at the Hanging Tree to conjure the Greendale Thirteen, witches sacrificed by the coven and hanged by mortals centuries earlier. The Thirteen summon the Red Angel of Death and send Ambrose to warn everyone. Father Blackwood orders all witches to the Academy for their safety. To protect the mortals, the Spellmans conjure a tornado for them to congregate in the storm shelter at Baxter High. The Spellmans cast a protection spell on Baxter High, but Ambrose and Zelda are summoned to the Academy. Madam Satan takes Sabrina to the woods and convinces her to sign the Book of the Beast to gain the power to defeat them. Sabrina unleashes Hellfire on the Hanging Tree and the Thirteen, burning their souls and banishing the Red Angel of Death. During the events, Lady Blackwood dies while giving birth.

Later, Madam Satan reveals her plan of becoming the Dark Lord's Queen to Hawthorne, before killing him and her familiar.

 

"Chapter Eleven: A Midwinter's Tale"  

Leading up to Christmas, the Spellman family prepares to celebrate the Winter Solstice, lighting a Yule log to prevent spirits from entering their home. Zelda is taking care of Lady Blackwood's daughter, Leticia. Sabrina has distanced herself from Harvey and her friends, planning a séance to contact her mother. She asks Madam Satan to lend her the Book of the Dead, but she plots to sabotage the ritual. Susie, working as an elf, is kidnapped after learning that the mall Santa, Bartel, has been trapping souls of children in wax sculptures. The Spellmans discover a group of ghosts, the Yule Lads, are haunting their household, and must call the children's mother, Gryla, to rid them. Gryla hears Leticia in the basement and demands the Spellmans hand her over. Sabrina and her mother's spirit trick Gryla into taking Ambrose's teddy bear instead.
