Major spoilers follow for Doctor Strange 2

Major spoilers follow for Doctor Strange 2. You have been warned.
Despite its two-hour runtime, Doctor Strange 2's plot gets through a lot. So let's break down what actually occurs during its finale, plus any important events leading up to it.
Ahead of the film's third act, Doctor Strange, America Chavez, and Earth-838's version of Christine Palmer go in search of the Book of Vishanti, a supremely powerful and magical tome that has the power to gift sorcerers whatever abilities, spells, and other magic that they require. This is the same book that Defender Strange and Chavez tried to reach in the movie's opening sequence as they attempted to defeat Gargantos.
With Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch consumed by the Darkhold – the book of unspeakably evil power – it seems that the Book of Vishanti is the only way that the trio can stop her from tearing the multiverse apart. Their quest, though, is in vain. Just as they reach the Book of Vishanti, Scarlet Witch catches up with them. You know, after she's brutally murdered the Illuminati. You can read more about them in our separate cameos article, which is linked above.
She destroys the Book of Vishanti, captures Chavez, and sends Doctor Strange and Christine through one of Chavez's multiverse portals into a different dimension. All Scarlet Witch needs to do now is steal Chavez's multiverse-traversing powers (killing Chavez in the process), track down her kids Billy and Tommy in an alternate universe, and be reunited with them forever. Oh, and hold dominion over the multiverse, just in case she needs to escape with them to another reality if her children are ever in danger.
Meanwhile, Strange and Christine land in one of the universes that Supreme Strange – Earth-838's version of Doctor Strange – inadvertently destroyed during his Incursion Event. As a reminder, Incursion Events occur when someone uses the Darkhold to travel between two universes, causing them to collide with one another, and destroying both (and killing trillions) in the process. Supreme Strange had used the Darkhold at some point, which led to an Incursion Event between two universes that he had visited. After The Illuminati defeat their universe's version of Thanos, the rest of the superhero group's members vote to kill Supreme Strange as he's considered a threat to the multiverse. Reluctantly, Black Bolt terminates Supreme Strange with his quasi-sonic scream.
Here, Doctor Strange meets Sinister Strange (another of his variants) to try and convince the latter to let the former use Sinister Strange's version of the Darkhold (a copy exists in every universe) so he can stop Scarlet Witch. Sinister Strange had turned to the Darkhold to try and save his universe, but his efforts were in vain. Instead, the Darkhold exacted a heavy toll on him, leaving Strange with a third eye and more, well, sinister abilities than his MCU counterpart.
The first Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' post-credits scene is a delightful and comic book fan service-y one.
After the first lot of credits roll, we see Stephen Strange walking down a street in New York. Someone calls out to him and, after he turns around, we see none other than Charlize Theron (Mad Max: Fury Road, Fast and Furious) – in a purple and black ensemble – standing a few yards away.
Theron's character – Clea – tells Strange that she tracked him down as he's caused an Incursion Event and says the pair are going to fix it. She conjures a purple-colored magical weapon to tear a hole in the fabric of reality, which leads to Dormammu's domain, aka the Dark Dimension. Remember, Doctor Strange traveled to Dormammu's realm to bargain with him in Strange's first solo Marvel movie.
Clea tells Doctor Strange that he needs to follow her to overturn the effects of the Incursion, which he agrees to. Strange's third eye appears on his forehead again and the pair enter Clea's portal before the screen cuts to black.
So, who is Clea? In short, she's a fellow sorcerer who has major ties to Dormammu. In the comics, Clea is the daughter of Prince Orini (the son of the Dark Dimension's former ruler) and Umar, Dormammu's sister. So we guess you can say she has personal reasons for traveling to the MCU's Dark Dimension and discussing matters with Strange and her interdimensional, universe-consuming uncle.
In Marvel's source material, Clea is initially a disciple of Doctor Strange's, who trains her in the Mystic Arts. The pair become lovers and eventually marry. Later on in the comics, Clea returns to the Dark Dimension to become its Sorceress Supreme. And, after Strange dies fighting the Three Mothers, Clea even assumes the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme in the comics' main universe, aka Earth-616.
Unlike its end-credits stinger cousin, Doctor Strange 2's second post-credits scene isn't much to write home about.
In it, we're reunited with Bruce Campbell's Pizza Poppa, the street vendor who encountered Doctor Strange and America Chavez after they arrive on Earth-838.
The scene is only a brief one, and it simply shows Pizza Poppa continuing to punch himself in the face after Strange cast a spell on him to do so. Remember, Pizza Poppa was rude to the pair earlier in the film so, in a humorous form of retaliation, Doctor Strange cast a spell that made Pizza Poppa punch himself repeatedly in the face for, according to Strange, "about three weeks".
After a couple of final hits, the spell finally wears off. Relieved, Pizza Poppa laughs before, in a fourth wall breaking moment, stares directly at the camera (a clear nod to director Sam Raimi's Evil Dead film series) and makes a quip. Unfortunately for Evil Dead fans, though, Campbell doesn't say "groovy" – a move that would've gone down far better with us than what Campbell actually says. Still, it's a funny scene nonetheless, even if we're unlikely to see Pizza Poppa again in the MCU.
