The School for Good and Evil ending explained: do Sophie and Agatha beat Rafal?
Sophie and Agatha are in uproar after being sent to the wrong schools and complain to the School Master (Laurence Fishburne), who reassures them that no mistakes have been made and that if Sophie is truly good, she must have a true love's kiss, something a villain never usually achieves.
They work together to find Sophie's Prince Charming while learning at their respective schools, where they also get glimpses of the evil villain Rafal (Kit Young) who has a plan for Sophie's newfound powers.
After believing that Agatha betrayed her in the Trial by Tale, Sophie embraces her villainous side thanks to Rafal's brainwashing and she accepts his blood magic to become truly Evil.
They join forces to destroy the schools and Sophie eventually transforms into a witch.
The Evers (Good) go to The School of Evil to destroy Sophie, but as the heroes attack first, the Nevers (Evil) turn into the Good, while the Evers become Evil.
A huge fight breaks out between the opposing sides and Sophie flies to the School Master's office to end things once and for all.
It's there she discovers that Rafal was posing as his brother the School Master all along and had orchestrated the whole plan.
Rafal tells Sophie that he is her true love and that together they will be unstoppable in ruling Never After, finally allowing Evil to win.
Sophie accepts his proposal and they have their true love's kiss, which condemns both the Good and Evil schools to perish and allowing Rafal's true Evil to overtake the world.
As the schools begin to collapse, Sophie instantly regrets her actions as she only wanted to rule over Evil rather than destroy her friends.
Agatha storms into the office to save Sophie, but Sophie is pierced in the chest by the Storian after jumping in front of Agatha to protect her.
Tedros (Jamie Flatters) attempts to sneak up on Rafal to kill him, but he hears him coming and attacks him.
As Rafal prepares to kill Tedros, a weak Sophie uses the power she has left to command Excalibur to go to Agatha.
Agatha seizes the sword and slices through Rafal, who disappears into a bunch of black feathers, killing him and ending his reign of Evil.
