It's Black Sunday, and with it, the very final episode of Salem. To say I am overcome with grief would be an understatement and I had so many feels during this episode. It took me a while to take the courage to play the episode, knowing that it would be over in 48 minutes. But, my fellow witches, I am genuinely happy with how the finale turned out (despite some minor things I will discuss in this review), and more importantly, the entire Salem saga from start to finish.I seem to always struggle with where to start when it comes to Salem these days due to the amount of story and action that occurs within a single episode. The penultimate episode ended with Anne opening the door to Hell, instantly resurrecting the Devil inside the Frankenstein's Monster-like body of little John. I know a lot of people were stunned and that one action of opening the door caused many fans' hearts to palpitate. Fortunately we got to see exactly what happened next, like the second part of a mega-finale where the intensity of the approaching Black Sunday just continues. There are still minutes to spare before midnight, the witching hour where everything happens, so there is still time for things to change.'I believe neither of us ever loved anybody but her our whole lives.'John is still working on stopping the Red Mercury from killing all of Salem, but major problem - Sebastian has switched sides, so he can't even rely on his own complex nemesis to Mary's heart anymore. The fight between John and Sebastian, much like John's fight with the Sentinel, is brutal. I've also noticed that John is getting himself into a lot of physical fights lately, I mean we could almost paint him as some kind of wild, violent man if we didn't know him better. Sebastian probably shouldn't have told him that he failed to change Mary's heart, and should have kept trying to ruin his love for Mary, but I guess his confession also helped get John and Mary back together again. Mixed feelings about Sebastian at the minute. I've always felt fairly sorry for Sebastian to be caught in a love story he was never going to win, so when John fatally stabs him in the neck (surprising moment), and Sebastian reveals his motives that we really knew all along, it did humanise him somewhat. It wasn't to the same impact of the Sentinel though, but still, he died on the cusp of the side of good and evil, where Mary really was his only tie to his humanity.'You have thousands and thousands of years to wish youwould've honoured our marriage and treated me better.'...'I prefer this.'With the Devil being back in Little John's stitched-up body, I did not expect a fully grown man to come out of him. I really enjoyed the performance of the adult Devil, even if it was mainly in relation to getting his mother in bed. The scene in the hallway, after Anne fetches Cotton, was truly a highlight of the episode. I'm going to say it now, but Anne stole the show in this finale. She has been groomed to the dark side for a long time now, but the confrontation with Cotton in the previous episode completely broke her. What a life-changing event to occur as so much could have been avoided had Cotton not seen Gloriana. But, after being trapped in the mirror, Anne releases him and takes him to the Devil. He is given a choice that will save all of the souls in Salem - he willingly sacrifices his soul by stepping through the door into Hell, or Salem will be vaporised. Gloriana was an incentive as Cotton wanted to save her, and Anne taunts him to no end.I can't believe that Cotton would be a casualty pretty early on in the episode. If anything, it revved up the ante to a billion before most of the action could even occur. I expected Cotton, the good soul that he is, to survive and maybe live happily with Gloriana. Oh no. If anything, this finale was definitely true to the tone of the show - that bleak, deliciously-evil tone that made me fall in love with this show in the beginning. Out of everyone who perished or were doomed, Cotton got the best \"end\". His willing sacrifice elevated his status as a hero, staying true to the innate goodness and rejection to kneel before Evil. Fair enough, he gave Anne exactly what she wanted, but he saved everyone in Salem in the process AND he delivered some of the best burns of the series. He went down swinging and got a few punches in, and if anything, he has left a long-lasting effect on Anne.'You will feel like ... well ... a new woman.'Anne. From heroine to villain, I feel like, along with Mary, she has had such a transformation of character over the course of three seasons. The sacrifice of Cotton was only the start of a domino effect of the terror Anne subjects the others to. As much as Mary is always my ultimate bae, she herself sat this one mainly on the sidelines as opposed to the adventuring, sinister Anne. I cannot begin to fathom the complexities of her evil. Poor Mary becomes subjected to a bodily takeover by the Countess Marburg, something that was planted a few episodes before and something Sebastian had been working on all season. Trust Anne to do a man's job in one single day. I've been looking forward to the return of the Countess all season, the addition of Lucy Lawless' voice in various episodes were always a pleasure to listen to.I cannot begin to express how much I loved it when the Countess embodied Mary. I could not get over the moment the Countess began speaking through Mary - Janet Montgomery did a fantastic job in carrying this performance with the mannerisms and even way she delivered her lines. I could just picture Lucy Lawless whenever Mary would talk, and the ways she would smile and throw a look and you'd have to think about what she is thinking. It was beautiful. It gave me life. It was such good timing, too, when John finds Mary in bed, allowing them some time to talk and for Mary to tell him what Anne and the Countess had done to her, just before biting his earlobe off. Ouch. The love between them was definitely felt before the biting incident, and it was very necessary for the switch of bodies due to the Essex tree keeping Mary grounded in Salem - yet with Mary in the Countess' body and vice versa, Anne, surprisingly, gave John and Mary the happy ending they so desperately wanted. They are able to leave Salem, something they've wanted for such a long time. I will discuss this scene more later, first I want to revel in the evil things Anne did.'Maybe, with you, I shall have a happy childhood.'So 'Mary' and the Devil need to consummate if she is going to be his bride, and how weird it was to have Anne walk in and watch and seem, for a moment, to participate, just before bringing the knife down on the Devil. Not just any knife, but the angel-killing knife. It was a very easy death of this new Devil, which surprised me and I didn't think it would be 'over' just like that. Of course, the Countess was not at all pleased, but then she saw the murderous evil glimmering in her daughter's eye, and instantly she knew she made a mistake to question Anne. How quickly every other witch in Salem loses any kind of power or will against Anne - she is legit the ultimate force, no questions asked. Nobody can stand up to her. The poor Countess, finally getting what she wants after such a long, long time, now suffers to death at the hands of her daughter. Anne has had a taste for power and she wants it all. Now she wants to be the Devil's bride - so she's going back to the beginning by birthing him, and then will finally release him from Hell so they can rule the world together. So much effort to get him here to begin with and Anne gets rid of all that hard work in one fell swoop.But at the same time comes Anne's violent reign in Salem. There can be no one to challenge her, no witch left in Salem that could overthrow her. It seemed like she was extending a lifeline to Isaac, another good soul like Cotton who stays true to his self. I am glad Mercy let him go, as much as it pained her, but it allowed him to reunite with Dorcas. But only briefly. Anne reveals herself to him, and Isaac is disappointed. I don't blame him if he h
