Warning: Major SPOILERS ahead for Chilling Adventures of Sabrina season 3.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina season 3 took Sabrina (and viewers) to Hell and back, but there were many other dangers in the mortal world as well, among those Faustus Blackwood and his plans, which involved a mysterious egg from Loch Ness. Based on the Archie comic book series of the same name, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was released on Netflix in 2018. The series received positive reviews, and after a Christmas special in December 2018, the second batch of episodes was released in 2019.
It was a long wait for fans of the series, especially because season 2 left many questions waiting to be answered, such as the future of the coven and Nick’s fate after he sacrificed himself as prison for the Dark Lord, but season 3 is finally out – and it left many more mysteries. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina season 3 saw the young witch trying to balance her duties in Hell as well as her mortal life, while also doing her best to keep her family, friends, and what was left of the coven safe from different threats: on the side of Hell, Caliban wanted to invade Earth and turn it into the tenth circle of Hell, and on Earth the coven was being threatened by pagans and their own Gods.
In addition to that, Blackwood was found by Prudence and Ambrose in Scotland, where he spent 15 years inside a temporal church created by him so he could purify himself to wield unimaginable magics, and for that he needed an egg that was given to him by none other than the Loch Ness monster. But what exactly was inside that mysterious egg?
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Time Egg Helped Unleash The Eldritch Terrors
Sensing that there was something important and potentially dangerous in that egg, Ambrose decided to keep it and study it. He later discovered that it had properties that warp and affect time, which came in handy on the season finale when Sabrina needed to go back in time to avoid major catastrophes in Hell and Earth. However, that wasn’t enough to stop Blackwood, who managed to retrieve the egg from the Spellman’s house and finally performed the dark ritual he was supposed to do in Scotland, inviting the eldritch terrors to “tear through the skin of reality”.
The egg held some sort of fetus, surrounded by a clear fluid, and given that it came from Loch Ness, Ambrose preserved it in a fish tank. Eldritch terrors and creatures were popularized by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, and the word “eldritch” is used to describe something that is sinister and weird, sometimes even possessing the power to alter reality. Lovecraft’s most famous eldritch is Cthulhu, who has appeared in Sabrina’s universe in the comics (Sabrina even became the bride of Cthulhu). Now, if the egg was what unleashed the eldritch terrors, it’s very possible the creature inside was an eldritch creature itself, although what exactly it was is unknown – as well as its survival outside the egg, as after Blackwood stabbed the shell, the remnants of the creature were seen at the bottom.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has progressively gotten darker and darker, and now that the eldritch terrors have been released, Sabrina and company (both in Hell and Earth) will have to prepare for the arrival of bigger and more powerful creatures that will surely be more dangerous than Lucifer himself.
