We’re wrapping up our Season 2 break with a globe-trotting detour in “Sabrina Goes to Rome.” When Sabrina travels to Italy to unlock a mysterious locket tied to a long-lost aunt, she finds herself juggling ancient magic, a centuries-old love story, and a very messy mortal crush. Along the way, she meets Gwen, an enthusiastic but wildly underqualified witch, gets tangled up with suspicious photographers, and spends an alarming amount of time kissing pigeons (or watching someone else do it).
We break down the episode’s ambitious Rome-on-a-soundstage energy, questionable magical decisions, statue-based mishaps, and the surprisingly emotional choice at the heart of Sabrina’s story. It’s a chaotic way to close out our Season 2 break before we head back to Westbridge.
