Dr. Strange

An evil entity tells Morgan le Fay that she has three days to defeat the great wizard and win over his successor to her master's side. This urgent deadline sets the race against time that drives the story forward. It signals that Clea Lake, Lindmer, Strange, and Wong are pulled into a conflict that transcends ordinary power.

Le Fay seizes Lake's body and uses her as a weapon against Thomas Lindmer, the Sorcerer Supreme. She pushes Lindmer off a bridge to his death, though he miraculously heals himself. The possession marks a direct assault on the heroes and escalates the danger facing Strange and his allies.

Wong locates Clea Lake and brings her under medical watch, while Lake remains tormented by nightmares tied to le Fay. Dr. Stephen Strange, a psychiatrist at the hospital, senses something more than a mental illness at work and becomes deeply involved in her case. The uneasy overlap between medicine and magic begins to unfold.

Lindmer contacts Strange at the hospital and explains that Lake's condition cannot be solved by science alone and that other realms exist. He reveals that Strange's own parents' deaths hint at a magical lineage and that Lake is trapped between worlds. Strange accepts Lindmer's card, noting the symbol matches his own ring.

Le Fay tries to enter Lindmer's house using a possessed cat, but magical barriers repel her attempt. The wards surrounding Lindmer's residence demonstrate that her influence has limits in the physical world. The thwarted entry heightens the sense that the battle will require more than conventional force.

At Lindmer's behest, Strange is dispatched to the astral plane and confronts Balzaroth, the demon sent by le Fay. The astral confrontation tests his powers beyond medical wisdom and foreshadows his potential as a true sorcerer. He and Lake return to the physical world afterward.

In the demon realm, the evil entity questions Le Fay about sparing Strange, and Le Fay confesses an attraction to him. The demon warns that her feelings could bring consequences, even threatening to turn her into an elderly woman. The scene deepens the moral complexity of Le Fay's choices.

Back on Earth, Strange tries to enjoy a normal moment with Lake but cannot remove his father's ring. A possessed cat slips in, allowing Le Fay to overpower Wong. Lindmer is defeated, and Le Fay summons Asmodeus to take him to the demon realms.

Strange follows Le Fay into the demon realm, where she attempts to seduce him into removing the ring. He resists and defeats her, rescuing Lindmer and returning them to the earthly realm. Wong is revived, and Le Fay is transformed into an old hag.

Lindmer explains that Strange must choose between mortality and becoming the Sorcerer Supreme, with the price including knowledge, offspring, and a painless death. Strange chooses to protect humanity, and Lindmer's power is transferred to him. Wong warns that he now has power but may lack the wisdom to wield it safely.

Back on Earth, the hospital reports many patients discharged as Strange begins his new role. Lake appears to have no memory of the ordeal, suggesting psychological or magical amnesia. Le Fay is later shown on television, appearing as a youthful self-help guru, hinting at her continued influence.

In the final moments, Strange demonstrates his growing command of magic by turning a street magician's flowers into a dove. Le Fay's return to the public eye as a seemingly benevolent guru signals that danger lingers beneath the surface. The film closes on Strange stepping into a cautious, vigilant future as protector of reality.
