Five Easy Pieces of Libby

Season 2, Episode 14, Aired
EDIT

Episode Summary

Mrs. Quick assigns Sabrina and Libby to decorate the "Democracy Day" float together, but Libby's obnoxiousness causes Sabrina to cast a spell keeping her a safe distance from Sabrina. The Quizmaster intervenes, blowing the whistle on an illegal use of magic to solve problems, and reverses the spell so that Sabrina must stick to Libby like unwanted glue. When a desperate Sabrina struggles free, the spell has disastrous consequences: Libby is transformed into an incomplete jigsaw puzzle, and Sabrina has only a few hours to locate the missing pieces and put Libby together again. This necessitates a visit to Libby's home, where her cold, controlling mother makes Sabrina understand her nemesis a little better -- as does the discovery that Libby has an ailing grandmother to whom she is devoted. Meanwhile, Zelda tries to find a miracle cure for disease but winds up inventing a miracle cleaning fluid which Salem and Hilda promptly steal and market in the Other Realm, oblivious to the unfortunate side effects of the magical brew.moreless

  • After magically keeping Libby away, Quizmaster informs her that she can't use magic to avoid her problems, so she must stick to Libby like glue. When Sabrina breaks the spell, Libby turns into a puzzle.moreless

    After Sabrina's spell backfires, she is left with a box of puzzle pieces. But even after putting the puzzle together, there are still some pieces missing. The Quizmaster tells Sabrina that she must dig into Libby's life to find the missing pieces. We meet Libby's mother for the first time (talk about the apple not falling far from the tree!).

    This episode has some good character development for the cheerleader we all love to hate. It's nice to learn more about her, and the idea of looking at your foes with compassion is a good one. I also love the subplot about Hilda and Zelda's miracle cleaning formula, which also backfires.

    But if I was in Sabrina's place...I think I would've left Libby as a puzzle.

    In this episode of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," Libby and Sabrina are assigned to both work and design the school's "Democracy Days" float for the town parade. The episode had strong points, about working with others (Sabrina is told to show compassion for Libby, even though Libby may not show compassion for Sabrina), and has an addicting edge to it. This isn't an episode you see once- it's one you would like to watch at least three times. I felt that this was a classic episode, and even if you don't follow all the episodes of "Sabrina" in order, it was written well enough so that any random channel surfer could jump right in and like it well enough. I LOVE SABRINA!!!moreless

    • If the cleaner makes everything turn into mutants because of exposure, shouldn't the house be all green and covered in the things Hilda, Zelda, and Salem were in? Edit
