However, there are times when one did more crazy things than the other.

Sabrina: Cannibalism
Sabrina: Cannibalism |
The Feast of Feasts is the witch equivalent to mortal's Thanksgiving. But, there is one drastic difference. While humans lean via turkey, stuffing, and gravy, witches enjoy themselves by devouring human flesh. It is an honor to be named "Queen of the Feast," at least that is what they have been taught to believe. Sabrina is one of the rare people that sees this aspect of the tradition to be monumentally unappetizing.

They just sang. After the end of the musical episode, no one talked about when they broke into the song and dance on a regular day.
Sabrina: Massive Magic Mistakes

Tommy's revival was supposed to be for Harvey.
However, not returning Tommy's soul to his body made things worse, and Harvey had to kill his older brother. The end of the third part showed a future that happened due to Sabrina distracting while searching for the third piece of Unholy Regalia.

While one of them lives with her family and friends, the other gets the nickname "Queen of Hell".
