The Sanderson Sisters played by Kathy Najimy , Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker were the witches looking to take over Salem, Massachusetts.

Some of the difficulties the sisters faced are: finding a way to stop the Sanderson Sisters, and trying to stop Poppy from finding out about them. Finding a way to keep them from bringing back their old selves was also hard for everyone.

The antagonist was the Sanderson sisters who wanted to take over Salem, Massachusetts and use their powers to slowly kill all of its inhabitants. The Sanderson Sisters had to deal with not only the sisters putting a stop to them, but also had to deal with their own problems.
The Sanderson Sisters were trying a spell that would take away all of their powers and send them back in time. Their motive was so that they would be able to live a normal life without hurting anyone or anything.
What are the epic scenes ?
The main epic scenes were the ones that took place in the kitchen and how they were trying to get rid of the Sanderson Sisters. The first epic scene was in the kitchen when everyone was trying to get rid of their powers except for Poppy. The main character was Poppy.
