series recap : 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐬 !
with a successful show behind us it’s time to recap everything that happened on 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇 and finally find out which of our angels will spread their wings and fly with the flock.
disclaimer: all votes from ep 3 onwards are based off of one set of votes that we conducted. we moved around the rankings week to week as a way to spice up the plot so that votes and storylines do not become repetitive. the final 6 is determined by those original votes and as some ocs have been discontinued we removed them and added in a “producers pick” for the final member.

this was the first week of challenges and the girls were given 2 performances to work on. the first being a solo performance of another angels iconic comeback and the other being group performances.
group 1 = mimi ˒ haeju ˒ winter ˒ ame ˒ jay & eden !group 2 = baebi ˒ chloe ˒ dahlia ˒ yuri ˒ jade & ricky !
despite the initial tension in group 1 as winter , jay and eden fought for this weeks centre position the girls all learnt to recognize each others talents and decide remove the center position entirely making their team work the focal point and created an amazing performance!
unfortunately for group 2 their main vocalist of the week chloe fell ill and lost her voice so they needed to pick a replacement fast. the girls took turns singing and when ricky’s turn rolled around her voice cracked . tension rose between the girls as chloe picked ricky despite this error , making jade and dahlia feel done in as it was clear she did not get the part because she was the best but rather because of her preexisting friendship with chloe.
group 1 end up winning this week !

this weeks challenge was team focused and lead by the two main dancers of the show : baebi and mimi who both choreographed their individual group dances.
group 1 = mimi ˒ ame ˒ ricky ˒ winter & yuri ! group 2 = baebi ˒ haeju ˒ chloe ˒ jade & eden !
tensions kept rising between contestants as team two allow their egos to get the best of them and become full of it. they’re attitude becomes an issue with the other team and they have had enough. in their confessionals group 1 express this annoyance with everyone choosing to be indirect except for yui and ricky. ricky publicly voiced her dislike for jade calling her a princess and her general skepticism towards haeju as she felt disingenuous and washed up. whilst yui accused eden of being “ too reliant on rigging , can't half ass her way to number 1 ” like she did on honeypot.
group 2 aimed to “make group 1 cry” by adding in an acrobatic trick. when chloe drops jade at the interim check and an almost dangerous accident happens the angels scrap the trick and although the performance is safer it does not wow as much as they intended.
all of this tension comes to a head at the interim check when ricky snaps on jade and the two engage in a heated yelling match that gets broken up by their fellow angels.
group 1 end up winning this week !

this week was the semi finals and stakes were high. the challenge focus for the week was positions in the group with the angels splitting off into 3 groups of 3 , each focusing on the 3 core aspects of idol performances : vocals ˒ rap & dance ! winning this week was extra valuable as the team that won got immunity and would immediately be sent through to the finals.
rap team = eden ˒ winter & ricky ! ⇢ ˗ˏˋ stage ! vocal team = yuri ˒ chloe & jade ! ⇢ ˗ˏˋ stage ! dance team = ame ˒ baebi & mimi ! ⇢ ˗ˏˋ stage !
after a month of seraph the girls deserved a break and so each team split off and had exclusive off days which they could decide to do whatever they wanted. rap team went on an overnight trip to the beach, vocal team had a spa day and performance team went to an amusement park.
winter and eden were in the same team for the first time since their group disbanded and since yui’s comment about the rigging. the reunion was highly anticipated and the awkward tension between them at first was palpable. but when their team had their trip to the sea the girls had a lot of down time to talk. through their heart to heart conversation the girls made up and despite facing slight difficulties as none of the girls had ever written a rap they managed to create a fun filled rap performance in the end.
the vocal team decided to go on a relaxing spa day with each other to bond and write. they all agreed that they needed to release their stress and felt like being pampered at a spa. on the trip the girls spoke about their lives and careers and took videos and photos which they used to create a feel good vcr that played in the background of their performance.
performance team took a trip to an amusement park and the clips from their trip were so fun and mimi’s screams on the rollercoasters were memed and spread all over stan twt. seeing the girls have so much fun and let loose was so refreshing and it allowed for them to work well to create such a memorable dance performance.
as we know as this point seraph consisted of already debute idols and aimed to find the best of the best in the kpop industry. this episode truly showcased the level of excellence amongst the girls. so of course this week was especially tough competition with all the angels stunning audiences with their self created performances.
in the end vocal team won the round and gained immunity. no one knew who wad going home that week and in a shock reveal yuri placed last but because of her immunity eden was sent home instead.

this episode was the finale of the entire show and it was livestreamed to millions viewers world wide on the 23rd of april 2021 it was the girls last chance to prove why they deserve to be in the fic communities first super group. the stakes were high. this week had 4 performances : wings seraph intro song , solo stages , group performances of iconic kpop songs and finally a group performance of the first original song made for the angels nun nu nan na !
crazy = yuri ˒ winter ˒ jade & baebi ! ⇢ ˗ˏˋ stage ! rollin’ = ricky ˒ chloe ˒ mimi & ame ! ⇢ ˗ˏˋ stage ! nun nu nan na ⇢ ˗ˏˋ stage ! wings ⇢ ˗ˏˋ stage !
the way voting worked this week was done different. originally viewers would vote for their fav flock as well as their favourite angel and both votes would be totaled together to determine rankings. however this week they did not vote for groups and those performances were not judged. instead the votes were all done live and focused on individual angels. so although group performances technically did not count people were still voting throughout the show with it only closing after their final performance of nun nu nan na. angels had to perform to their best abilities to try prove why they should debut in the group.
the show opened with the angels performing their intro song wings for the first time ! the track that was played before every episode was produced by judge j-hope of bts and blu ﹙ @irisblu3 ﹚ who sang the song. the angels performed and sang the track which was entertaining and focused on them having fun on their final stage. during the stage all the former angels came on stage and performed with them making it a massive reunion stage with all of the original 12 angels.
before the stage a vcr played of all the former angels surprising the others as they came to practice for the stage. it was a heartwarming and sweet video that set the perfect sweet scene for the performance. voting opened as soon as this stage ended.
their solo performances then followed. each solo performance highlighted each of the angels unique charms just like their audition videos in their first week. all the former angels sat in the audience and cheered for the other girls as they performed. the angels group performances of crazy and rollin’ followed their solos , and they closed off with nun nu nan na.
the final lineup was announced from bottom to top with winter being the first confirmed member of seraph after placing 6th ! chloe , mimi and jade were announced afterwards with each of the now official members taking their place on the podium. the final 4 left on stage were baebi , yuri , ricky and ame. yuri and baebi stood hand in hand as they anxiously awaited the results. nova and yen built up anticipation by explaining each of the angels remaining’s journeys on seraph.
ricky started the show strong and was consistent throughout ranking high every week. baebi and yuri had been fan favourites since they sent in their auditions and shon every week until their shock dip the week prior. ame had at first been towards the bottom and narrowly missed elimination multiple times but as week progressed so did her skills , every week she climbed up the ranks and proved that there was a reason she was there.
nova and yen both gasped as they saw the result : yuri and baebi had tied for first shooting up the ranks hugely following their previous week. yuri couldn’t help but cry as she as baebi walked hand in hand onto their shared first place podium.
the final angel was decided by the judges: j-hope , sunmi and hyuna. they analyzed both ricky and ames time on seraph before deciding that ame would debut in seraph as the final member. ricky was thought to be for sure a member of the final lineup as she never left the top 7 every week unlike ame. but the judges explained that she had begun to plateau, no longer showing anything new or special but ame was constantly working on improving and it unlocked all of her unseen potential.
and just like that the ultimate fic community super group 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇 was made !
