WARNING! Season 3 spoilers!
Every season ends with the 3 main characters in a bad position that they need to get out of. In the past, they've been able to rely on each other for help. But this time, things are different. This time, they have to rely on themselves and everything they've learned.
And if they even get out, I think Season 4 will be the final season. So much has changed that the status quo can't last. So, here's how I think the characters may get out of their distress on their own, and how the series could end.
Bean. She had not had an easy time throughout Season 3. Coming to terms that Zog may never recover from his trauma, dealing with heartbreak, betrayal, losing Luci, and even though she's now Queen, it seems that few trust her. And now she's trapped in Hell about to be forced to marry some demon to pay off Maru's debt to Hell. And I suspect this has connections to Maru's and Dreamland's hidden history. I suspect that she's going to have to rely on that power that we've only seen small glimpses of. I don't know if Dagmar is aware of this magic, but as if right now, it's her best bet.
Elfo. It's not easy being the small prisoner of Ogres, who are huge. But he has shown himself to be resourceful, clever, and easy to underestimate. So now he'll need to put it all to use. But I suspect he may get some unexpected help. As we all know, he's only half elf. We don't know what species his mother was, or maybe is, since I don't know if Pop's claim about her being deceased is reliable. But after what that female Ogre said as Bean and Elfo escaped from the Ogre's in Season 2, I have a hunch that Elfo's other half, is Ogre. If the Ogre who helped them escape is his mother, or knew his mother, she'd be sympathetic towards her son. So she could be of help to get him out.
Luci: Luci is in the hardest situation of all, because his sacrifice of his immortality has caught up to him, and he's off the mortal coil. Ironically, thanks to his loyalty, friendship, and heroism, he's earned a rest in peace in Heaven. Worst of all, he's body has been decapitated, I don't think that is as easy to repair as Elfo's body. Going back to Hell isn't an option either, as Satan won't let him rejoin him after the trip to Hell. No, I think Luci's spirit is going to need a new body, and I have a theory of how it could be done, but it could require more sacrifice. First off, as he's in Heaven, Luci has more aid then he thinks. And as a demon, it's possible that he's related to angels. So, I think that in order to get back in action, he's going to need to sacrifice his status as a demon, and become the other side of that coin, an angel. An angel of darkness maybe, but you get the idea. But the next question is, how is this done? He may have to swallow what's left of his pride and implore God Himself to help him, and show God that a demon can show empathy, compassion, and true friendship.
And even if all three of them get out of their problems, their not out of trouble yet. Dreamland is still in danger. Steamland, and possibly other enemies are on their way. And Dreamland is now disorganized. Organization must be restored, and I can see 2 possible scenarios play out.
In the last 2 seasons, there's been mention of a revolution. In the past, I thought it was a joke. But perhaps Bean could end the monarchy without a revolution. But that could cause an even bigger power vacuum to open, especially since the Elves might try and take Dreamland by force. So I think this is the less likely to happen.
Bean finds some way to consolidate her power, and take care of all enemies in court, Odval, Sorcerio, the cult, etc. Maybe in a subversion of the above scenario, the series could lampshade that a democracy in a fantasy world could "lessen the fantasy". And Groaning's done this before, in the Simpsons episode "The Surfsons". So it could work again. Bean also needs to try and find ways to make everyone happy, or at least content.
And once that's been taken care of, it's time for the grand finale. The final battle. And I don't think Steamland will be alone. I think it's going to come full circle with Dreamland's other enemies showing up. Bentwood, Bozac's, Ogres, Dankmire, Vikings, Maru, Big Jo, Trolls, and even Hell, and other enemies.
But Dreamland won't face them alone, because I think friends are going to show up. Elves, Merpeople, Gnomes, Giants, Oona's pirates, Walruses, whatever those underground creatures were called, Heaven, and other allies and friends show up for one last hurrah.
