Hello?
Myrtle?!
Zoe?!
Queenie?!
Hello?!
Get back!
Get back!
Easy, dear.
You're all right. You're with us.
You're safe.
What happened?
- You lost consciousness.
- And you had
a lot to say about it, too.
- I was talking?
- And screaming a lot.
But before that, you were
calling out our names.
Me, Zoe and Queenie.
You left me out though.
Not that I'm surprised.
Did you guys even know I was dead?
We knew.
You are back.
I didn't imagine it.
Well, I might be imagining all of you.
I'm not 100% sure that
any of this is real.
Careful, dear.
Oh, I can't believe it.
Maybe you forgot,
- I'm not much of a hugger.
- Tough shit.
You're alive.
Not if you keep squeezing
my neck like this.
Hi.
I want to see him.
The boy.
Are you all right?
We were so worried.
Perhaps the sudden shock
of sunlight after leaving this dungeon.
I wasn't prepared for that.
For seeing my girls.
But I'm okay now.
That's what's important.
I want to thank you
for bringing them back.
I wanted to get your attention.
I suspect you've got that now.
He certainly does.
And now I'd like
everyone else's attention.
I've been presented something.
A vision.
I believe I saw the future.
A terrifying future.
Cataclysm.
Fire. Death.
I saw a man.
But not a man.
A white face.
Demonic.
He was laughing.
Our academy,
sister, I saw it reduced to cinders.
A warning.
Maybe.
But something in my blood
is telling me that the only
hope we have of surviving
depends on what I do next.
In two weeks time,
at the rise of the Blood Moon,
you will take the test
of the Seven Wonders.
That is, if you still want to.
I do.
- Cordelia, this isn't done!
- That is my decision,
and nothing in the world
will change my mind.
No male has ever made the attempt.
And if you succeed,
you will be the next Supreme,
and it will change everything.
♪ ♪
♪ ♪
I'm apoplectic.
Yes, you mentioned
that on the flight back.
More than once.
And you never furnished
a sufficient answer.
How could you agree to allow a male
to attempt the Seven Wonders?
You know the Alpha is a child's tale,
a lullaby impotent men
tell flaccid little boys
to make them believe one day
they'll be something special.
Time and time again,
history has shown the hubris
of men knows no bounds.
Have we learned nothing
from Attila the Hun,
Herod the Great,
Mark Zuckerberg?
Men make terrible leaders.
I've seen what's ahead.
Carnage.
The end of the world.
My girls...
dead.
I'm scared, Myrtle.
What if it's my hubris,
my inability to cede
my position to this boy
that leads us down this dark path?
I will not put my own selfish
desires before the coven.
I am not my mother.
Let Fiona teach us one thing.
Passing the Seven Wonders
does not inherently mean
one is fit to lead the coven.
There will come a day when
I will have to identify
my successor.
When that day comes, cast your net wide.
You, yourself were overlooked.
No one even imagined that you
would emerge until your power
was undeniable.
There's powerful magic within
these very walls, my child.
Our own Mallory, just one example.
♪ ♪
I was out with some of the girls,
gathering herbs for a ratatouille,
and she evidenced something...
most extraordinary.
Mallory did not just heal the wounds.
She undid them.
It was unlike any magic I had ever seen.
It was Langdon who brought Queenie back.
You cannot deny his power.
Why are you so eager to affirm it?
All I ask is that you delay the test,
give another Delia time to blossom.
There is no time.
I'm fading.
Nonsense.
You've just been overstressed, my dear.
Nothing a little Centrum
Silver couldn't cure.
My powers are leaving me.
I've been growing weaker.
I feel it.
I'm dying.
My poor dear.
My sweet girl.
You've only just reached your prime.
Miss Cordelia?
Yes, Mallory?
I'm sorry to interrupt.
The new girls are...
I guess, the old girls, they're settled.
And your 2:00 is here to see you.
Thank you.
First of all, I want to thank you
for accepting Coco into your academy.
I'm confident it's
the right move for her.
Well, that makes one of us.
Coco doesn't think she needs to be here.
Well, that's a polite way of
saying this totally sucks ass.
Why would you say that?
This is a school for witches, right?
We help young girls
gifted with magical ability
reach their potential.
Well, I'm about as
ungifted as they come.
That's not true.
Tell Ms. Goode what you did.
- I want to know.
- Go on.
Okay, well, the first
time I felt something,
I was at Dean & DeLuca with my brother.
They had these little
samples of biscotti,
so Trevor went to eat one
when I started tingling
and feeling weird.
So I smacked the
biscotti out of his hand,
and we found out that
he has celiac disease,
so... I mean, I basically
saved his life.
Interesting.
Interesting? I'm a gluten detector.
That's my only power.
When word spread of my
superpower in Beverly Hills,
fancy ladies with irritated bowels
showed up in droves,
holding up snacks and baked goods,
just begging me to help
them so they could lose
that last ten pounds once and for all.
The label on this one says gluten-free,
but I ate one last week,
and I had such a gas attack.
You can't trust our
government. They lie.
The FDA in this country
is a fucking fraud.
There's gluten in here.
Yep. Mm-hmm.
It's not much of a
power, but it's all I got.
I have no other skills.
You can sense things that are dangerous,
and that is not a
terrible place to start.
You're just saying that
because my dad donated
a zillion dollars to your school.
I know this is a big change for you.
But I also know
the moment you feel your powers growing,
developing into something meaningful...
There's no feeling on Earth like it.
I just ask that you trust me.
Mallory?
This is Coco, and it's
her first day. Do you think
you could show her around,
help her get settled?
Sure.
Hi.
Welcome to Robichaux.
- Thanks.
- Come with me.
We gather at the cusp of the Blood Moon
to anoint and protect our brother
before he undergoes the
rigors of the Seven Wonders.
Let the blessings begin.
Salt from the Earth.
May all hindrance and malignity
be cast forth hence,
and let all good enter.
Water from the sea.
To cleanse all impurities
and uncleanliness.
Blood from the body.
To protect the soul.
Let the fire illuminate our hearts
and spirits and minds
so that all darkness and cold
retire herein.
I conjure the circle of power
to be a place of protection,
a circle to confer the
blessings of all warlocks.
May you be imbued with
wisdom, perseverance,
strength and courage.
I accept the blessings.
May I be worthy to the test.
To our champion!
Knock, knock.
When was the last time
you had a 26-year-old
come through your door?
Sherry cask. I saved you a glass.
Enough for two, actually.
I thought we'd share.
You're leaving.
Just for a couple of days.
Before the Seven Wonders?
- I need answers now.
- Okay.
John Henry, I know that you've
been skeptical and reluctant.
Quite frankly, you've
been a pain in the ass.
But this disrespect for the process,
for the Alpha,
- it's beneath you.
- Cordelia had a vision.
She saw the apocalypse and
the demon with a white face.
What she saw was the
writing on the wall.
There is something wrong with Michael.
I saw the white face demon.
My God.
You're jealous.
- No.
- You think that Michael's ascendency
somehow diminishes you.
I will not allow your selfish behavior
to jeopardize our chance to
sit at the head of the table!
Stand down, bitch.
You have always bit off
way more than you can chew.
I am going to New
Orleans to see Cordelia.
And I'm not jealous, Behold.
I'm afraid.
♪ ♪
Oh, God. Gosh darn it.
I'm s... Excuse my language.
I can never get the thingy in the hole.
Would you mind?
- My hands are just useless.
- Yeah.
Here, I got it. I got it.
Oh, God bless you.
A good Samaritan is harder to find
than a camel in the eye of a needle.
Do you have a credit card to pay?
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Doesn't seem fair, does it?
You get to a point in your life and...
There are so
many things left to do,
and so little time left in the hourglass.
Well, I guess we all feel like that
when we reach a certain age, right?
Oh, I wasn't talking about me.
Oh, darn it all to heck.
Accio... No more spells.
♪ ♪
Oh, my dear boy.
Oh!
Oh, look at you.
You're skin and bones.
You're wasting away.
Don't these people feed you?
I'm fine. Just tell me you
took care of the problem.
The problem is now a stack of
overcooked country barbecue.
They can bury him in a shoebox.
- If they can find him.
- Good.
These people are the only ones
who could pose a threat to me.
Once I become Supreme,
I can destroy them from within,
eliminate their whole fucking coven.
Then the road will be clear
for me to do what I was born to do.
So stop worrying.
Look how easy it was for
you to win their trust,
to get into their school.
They may be wizards, but
they're not exactly wizzes.
Everything is going beautifully.
I still have to pass the Seven Wonders.
You will own the Seven Wonders,
and then all of their
covens, and then the world.
What would I do without you?
Well, that's something you're
never gonna have to worry about.
And the best part is...
I'm not the only one
who's got your back.
- He knows about John Henry.
- He does?
Yeah, just don't talk about your father.
You think we'd let that
fool blow our chance
to have our own Supreme?
Not in this lifetime.
Ariel was the one who
told me when John Henry
was leaving so I could
intercept him and do the deed.
We couldn't have done this without him.
I for one can't wait
to see those bitches
squirm with a man in charge.
Finally on top, where we belong.

And so we arrive
at the final test...
Descensum.
But today I'm not asking you
to perform this wonder.
Today I am asking you to conquer it.
I'd like you to retrieve
my dear friend Misty Day,
who lost her own battle
with this very task.
That's impossible.
Those who don't return
from Descensum are gone forever,
property of the underworld.
No other Supreme's
been made to do this ever.
This is not only
unfair, this is suicide.
Enough. Cordelia.
I need a word.
You're changing the rules.
Michael should only have
to descend as you did.
You didn't see what I saw.
Our world hangs in the balance.
There is darkness coming.
And if Michael is going
to be the one to lead us,
he needs to be able
to withstand anything.
Bullshit.
Excuse me?
I saw you drop.
I know what's really happening here.
You're fading but
you're afraid to let go.
And you've hit a wall.
Grand Chancellor is as
far as you're going to get.
You and your powers
have reached their limit.
Your kingdom will only just
be this hole in the ground.
Unless, of course,
you use Michael to
extend your influence.
This is pathetic,
accusing me to cover your
blatant attempt at his life.
I won't lose that kid over
some sad, futile cling to power.
You actually believe I'm
trying to get him killed?
What I think, Cordelia, is that you are
your mother's daughter,
who I knew fairly well.
You may come with a kinder
facade, but deep down,
you're nothing more than
a weak, frightened woman,
just like Fiona.
With a flick of my finger
I could crush your larynx
and tear it from your throat.
Do not for one second think I am weak.
I have humored you men, and
coddled your fragile egos,
but in no way does that
mean you actually have a say.
I outrank you.
I can destroy you.
So I suggest you fall in line,
because I am still your Supreme.
It's okay.
I'll get your friend back.
Deduce me in tenebris vita ad extremum,
ut salutaret inferi.

Mr. Kingery, she did it again.
Where is the dissection frog?
It's right there. She brought it
- back to life.
- Just shut up, Bobby.
She snuck a live one
in here to trick you.
But the trick's on her.
Pick up that scalpel.
Please don't make me.
If you won't dissect a dead frog,
then you will dissect a live one.
No. I don't want to kill
a living thing. Please.
- You can't make me.
- You kill it,
or I'll have a talk with your parents.
No.
Mr. Kingery, she did it again.
If you won't dissect a dead
frog, then you will dissect

then you will dissect a...
Are you here to save me?
Well, that's that.
C'est la vie.
This was not a fair test.
What happened?
Where's Misty?
Isn't it obvious, dear?
She's right where she's
been for the last...
Misty. Misty.
My dearest Misty.
Am I...?
Yes.
You're back. You're safe.
Back from perdition.
Can you stand up?
- Okay, come here.
- Okay.
I'm okay.
Hey, girl.
Hi. Hi.
Hi.
Cordelia.
Oh, my God.
What's happening?
What always happens
when a new Supreme rises.
The old one fades away.
We demand what's ours.
You are a pathetic, pompous ass.
I did everything you asked.
I descended into hell
and I did what you couldn't.
I brought her back.
I passed the Seven Wonders.
- Unless you want to add another one.
- No.
No.
There can be no doubt.
You are the next Supreme.
Delia, sit up if you can.
It's not Louisiana mud,
but... it'll have to do.
What is it?
Lipton's.
I knew you for such a short time,
and I've missed you forever.
You should have left me where I was.
What?
Why?
That man you sent to fetch me...
He gives me the heebie-jeebies.
There is something wrong with him.
What do you mean?
Are you here to save me?
I couldn't understand
what they were saying,
but he... listened
while they talked their gibberish
all around the classroom.
I'm not educated,
but I'm no fool.
Evil was speaking to him.
Maybe he had to negotiate
your release from Hell?
Maybe.
And you would know better
than me, Miss Cordelia.
But I've sensed evil
ever since I was a child.
I could smell the sweet rot
of a decaying soul,
but I've never smelled
anything quite like him.
I don't know how to
describe it. To me...
he wore the perfume of death.
Delia, what have we done?
We've anointed that
boy the next Supreme.
He will never be the Supreme.
Then why did you give him the test?
Because I needed to
know how strong he was.
I knew there was something...
dangerous about him,
something dark.
I wanted to keep him close...
so we would be ready.
Something is coming.
I can feel it.
Whatever it is...
Michael Langdon has already given us
an advantage.
He's brought all my girls back to me
for the fight ahead.
I can't fight.
I've lost my footing, Miss Cordelia.
I was in Hell for so
long, I don't know...
I don't know where I am anymore.
You've done enough, Misty.
Yes, you have.
You brought us the first proof.
Now you need to heal.
I'm starving.
They don't serve solid food in Hell.

I'm going there to do what?
Use your powers and all your training
to find out everything
you can about Michael.
- Why?
- Because he's a danger
to all of us.
You know, Michael brought me back.
Don't you think I'd be, like,
loyal to him or something?
You're only loyal to yourself.
When do we leave?
Sorry, ladies.
If eavesdropping paid money,
I'd be richer than Amazon.
- What did you hear?
- All the best parts.
And if you going to dig
up dirt on one of my own,
I'm going with you.
I travel alone.
M'kay.
Maybe I just go to Michael,
see what he thinks about all of this.
Why wouldn't you do that anyway?
Maybe I have my own concerns about him.
Do you know something?
Maybe just a gut feeling.
A bad one.
All right.
You go together.
Great.
I claim the aisle seat.
The destination.
What's so special about this place?
It's where it all began.

- No.
- You think that Michael's ascendency
somehow diminishes you.
I will not allow your selfish behavior
to jeopardize our chance to
sit at the head of the table!
Stand down, bitch.
You have always bit off
way more than you can chew.
I am going to New
Orleans to see Cordelia.
And I'm not jealous, Behold.
I'm afraid.

Oh, God. Gosh darn it.
I'm s... Excuse my language.

Here, I got it. I got it.
Oh, God bless you.
A good Samaritan is harder to find
than a camel in the eye of a needle.
Do you have a credit card to pay?
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Doesn't seem fair, does it?
You get to a point in your life and...
There are so
many things left to do,
and so little time left in the hourglass.
Well, I guess we all feel like that
when we reach a certain age, right?
Oh, I wasn't talking about me.
Oh, darn it all to heck.
Accio... No more spells.

Oh, my dear boy.
Oh!
Oh, look at you.
You're skin and bones.
You're wasting away.
Don't these people feed you?
I'm fine. Just tell me you
took care of the problem.
The problem is now a stack of
overcooked country barbecue.
They can bury him in a shoebox.
- If they can find him.
- Good.
These people are the only ones
who could pose a threat to me.
Once I become Supreme,
I can destroy them from within,
eliminate their whole fucking coven.
Then the road will be clear
for me to do what I was born to do.
So stop worrying.
Look how easy it was for
you to win their trust,
to get into their school.
They may be wizards, but
they're not exactly wizzes.
Everything is going beautifully.
I still have to pass the Seven Wonders.
You will own the Seven Wonders,
and then all of their
covens, and then the world.
What would I do without you?
Well, that's something you're
never gonna have to worry about.
And the best part is...
I'm not the only one
who's got your back.
- He knows about John Henry.
- He does?
Yeah, just don't talk about your father.
You think we'd let that
fool blow our chance
to have our own Supreme?
Not in this lifetime.
Ariel was the one who
told me when John Henry
was leaving so I could
intercept him and do the deed.
We couldn't have done this without him.
I for one can't wait
to see those bitches
squirm with a man in charge.
Finally on top, where we belong.

And so we arrive
at the final test...
Descensum.
But today I'm not asking you
to perform this wonder.
Today I am asking you to conquer it.
I'd like you to retrieve
my dear friend Misty Day,
who lost her own battle
with this very task.
That's impossible.
Those who don't return
from Descensum are gone forever,
property of the underworld.
No other Supreme's
been made to do this ever.
This is not only
unfair, this is suicide.
Enough. Cordelia.
I need a word.
You're changing the rules.
Michael should only have
to descend as you did.
You didn't see what I saw.
Our world hangs in the balance.
There is darkness coming.
And if Michael is going
to be the one to lead us,
he needs to be able
to withstand anything.
Bullshit.
Excuse me?
I saw you drop.
I know what's really happening here.
You're fading but
you're afraid to let go.
And you've hit a wall.
Grand Chancellor is as
far as you're going to get.
You and your powers
have reached their limit.
Your kingdom will only just
be this hole in the ground.
Unless, of course,
you use Michael to
extend your influence.
This is pathetic,
accusing me to cover your
blatant attempt at his life.
I won't lose that kid over
some sad, futile cling to power.
You actually believe I'm
trying to get him killed?
What I think, Cordelia, is that you are
your mother's daughter,
who I knew fairly well.
You may come with a kinder
facade, but deep down,
you're nothing more than
a weak, frightened woman,
just like Fiona.
With a flick of my finger
I could crush your larynx
and tear it from your throat.
Do not for one second think I am weak.
I have humored you men, and
coddled your fragile egos,
but in no way does that
mean you actually have a say.
I outrank you.
I can destroy you.
So I suggest you fall in line,
because I am still your Supreme.
It's okay.
I'll get your friend back.
Deduce me in tenebris vita ad extremum,
ut salutaret inferi.

But the trick's on her.

My dearest Misty.
Am I...?
Yes.
You're back. You're safe.
Back from perdition.
Can you stand up?

- Okay.
I'm okay.
Hey, girl.
Hi. Hi.
Hi.
Cordelia.
Oh, my God.
What's happening?
What always happens
when a new Supreme rises.
The old one fades away.
We demand what's ours.
You are a pathetic, pompous ass.
I did everything you asked.
I descended into hell
and I did what you couldn't.
I brought her back.
I passed the Seven Wonders.
- Unless you want to add another one.
- No.
No.
There can be no doubt.
You are the next Supreme.
Delia, sit up if you can.
It's not Louisiana mud,
but... it'll have to do.
What is it?
Lipton's.
I knew you for such a short time,
and I've missed you forever.
You should have left me where I was.
What?
Why?
That man you sent to fetch me...
He gives me the heebie-jeebies.
There is something wrong with him.
What do you mean?
Are you here to save me?
I couldn't understand
what they were saying,
but he... listened
while they talked their gibberish
all around the classroom.
I'm not educated,
but I'm no fool.
Evil was speaking to him.
Maybe he had to negotiate
your release from Hell?
Maybe.
And you would know better
than me, Miss Cordelia.
But I've sensed evil
ever since I was a child.
I could smell the sweet rot
of a decaying soul,
but I've never smelled
anything quite like him.
I don't know how to
describe it. To me...
he wore the perfume of death.
Delia, what have we done?
We've anointed that
boy the next Supreme.
He will never be the Supreme.
Then why did you give him the test?
Because I needed to
know how strong he was.
I knew there was something...
dangerous about him,
something dark.
I wanted to keep him close...
so we would be ready.
Something is coming.
I can feel it.
Whatever it is...
Michael Langdon has already given us
an advantage.
He's brought all my girls back to me
for the fight ahead.
I can't fight.
I've lost my footing, Miss Cordelia.
I was in Hell for so
long, I don't know...
I don't know where I am anymore.
You've done enough, Misty.
Yes, you have.
You brought us the first proof.
Now you need to heal.
I'm starving.
They don't serve solid food in Hell.

I'm going there to do what?
Use your powers and all your training
to find out everything
you can about Michael.
- Why?
- Because he's a danger
to all of us.
You know, Michael brought me back.
Don't you think I'd be, like,
loyal to him or something?
You're only loyal to yourself.
When do we leave?
Sorry, ladies.
If eavesdropping paid money,
I'd be richer than Amazon.
- What did you hear?
- All the best parts.
And if you going to dig
up dirt on one of my own,
I'm going with you.
I travel alone.
M'kay.
Maybe I just go to Michael,
see what he thinks about all of this.
Why wouldn't you do that anyway?
Maybe I have my own concerns about him.
Do you know something?
Maybe just a gut feeling.
A bad one.
All right.
You go together.
Great.
I claim the aisle seat.
The destination.
What's so special about this place?
It's where it all began.
