You can read the official synopsis for the Re:Zero Season 3 finale below:
Just as Otto was about to be devoured by Lye, it was Beatrice—who had awakened—who rescued him in the nick of time. Lye mocks them, weaving together Rem’s words from the “memories” he once consumed. Beatrice and Otto, realizing the danger, vow that they must not let this monster meet Subaru. However, without Subaru present, Beatrice has only five spells left she can cast. She crushes magic stones one after another, unleashing powerful magic, but none land a decisive blow. Meanwhile, Lye’s Authority begins consuming the members of the “White Dragon’s Scales.”

Accepting the invitation, Subaru and his party set off for Priestella, where a variety of reunions awaited them. One unexpected, one unintended, and one to come.
