A lot happened, but nothing happened? It was one of those episodes. Hank began haphazardly hunting all the Salem descendants -- beginning with Misty (surprise!) of all people -- but she was saved by a newly revived Myrtle, who is now convinced that Misty is the Supreme. Myrtle must read the Internet! They escape Hank’s attack and head to Miss Robichaux’s, where Cordelia takes them in with open arms.
Delia also brings them into her elaborate plan to kill Fiona, which amounted to less of a murder scheme and more of an oh-just-kill-yourself one. The crazy thing is that it works, and after a little persuasion by the ghost of Madison and some bitchy comments by Myrtle, Fiona dolls herself up, puts on her finest fur and swallows a bottle of pills -- resigned to death. But, Zoe’s brash decision to murder Spalding in the house has left him confined there as a ghost a la the Axeman, and he appears before Fiona, serves her some ipecac and she is resolved anew to stay alive just to spite them all. So much for that.
The Coven is stung by Queenie’s defection, but they get over it. Also, no one notices that Delphine is actually missing, not just sleeping in or being lazy about her chores for almost the entire episode. Speaking of Delphine, Angela Bassett shows up for one short scene this week in order to chop off her hand -- before she can even finish enjoying the Frostop burger Queenie brought her! That’s cold. Offscreen, she also cuts off Delphine’s head, places it in a box and messengers it to Miss Robichaux’s, where I guess it’s intended to be payback for Bastian, as if Fiona even cares about Delphine. When Fiona and Delia open it, Delphine’s head is disembodied but awake and trying to talk on account of that whole immortality thing.
Patti Lupone showed up again, as we got a glimpse into Luke’s home life, which turns out to be quite a gross and abusive one. It is the season of horrible mothers, after all. Nan hears his thoughts and runs over to save him, drawing Hank’s crosshairs, which Patti Lupone and Luke end up the victims of. Nan’s fine. Oh, and so is Patti Lupone, as Fiona forces Misty to bring her back to life, which should be fun. As suspected, Hank never opens fire on Miss Robichaux’s or any of the witches when they’re outside and in the open, because he’s the most inept assassin in New Orleans. This will be easy.
Kyle spends the episode up in a bedroom playing with a children’s learning app provided by Zoe, but he does end up telling Zoe he loves her, which, of course, Madison overhears and is devastated by. The undead love triangle lives!
Mindy Monez’s only goal in life is STILL to someday hit the Frostop drive-thru with Gabourey Sidibe and Kathy Bates at three a.m. This episode did not change that. You can tweet with her @garnisheater.
