Not a 'terrible' episode

I think the episode delivers a good takeaway message about being condescending and offering help where it's not needed. We all have the ability to live our own lives and make our own choices, and if someone starts meddling, believing we're incapable on our own, terrible things can happen.

The episode feels fun and highlights the playful dynamic between Sabrina and her friends. Harvey and Jenny clearly suffered the consequences of magic, and it was fun to watch. I now understand why people say the magic of the show lies in the fact that Sabrina is just a normal teenager, selfish, clumsy, and clearly imperfect, making her much more relatable.

Magic is coming to life, and we're here for it.

Trivia
In the previous episode, Mr. Pool tells Zelda he is extremely single. In this episode, while Mr. Pool is eating lunch, a wedding ring is visible on his left hand.

Goofs
Jenny comments on the food she is eating in the cafeteria, "This meatloaf really gags". In Jenny's Non-Dream, Sabrina states that Jenny is a vegetarian.

Quotes
Sabrina Spellman: Ah, is it time for Salem to be wormed again?
Salem Saberhagen: No, worse. I have to do community service.
Zelda Spellman: It's part of his punishment for attempting global conquest.
Salem Saberhagen: As if being a cat for a hundred years wasn't enough, Zelda had to put me in a pets for prisoners program.
Zelda Spellman: I gave you a choice, you could have done highway cleanup.
Salem Saberhagen: Yeah, cats do real well on highways.
Zelda Spellman: Stop complaining and get your wormy little butt down stairs in 2 minutes. It's time to pay your debt to society.
Salem Saberhagen: Can't I just write a cheque?
