Goode Bye

Queenie's got her big trial for the Seven Wonders coming up on Saturday, because why not? Instead of cramming, however, she spends her time trying to find out what happened to Marie. When she does so -- with an assist from Papa Legba (who first visits her in her own personal Hell and then shows her some footage of Delphine dismembering Marie in Cordelia's greenhouse) -- she sets out to kill Delphine, who is now a tour guide in the museum that used to be her house, busily whitewashing her own history. Before striking the blow, Queenie offers Delphine a chance for redemption, which Delphine mockingly spurns… earning her a stab in the heart in her own attic.

Cordelia manages to have a tender moment with Fiona, who is feeling maudlin in her final weeks. That is, until Fiona touches her and Cordelia receives a vision of the academy littered with corpses -- including her own -- with Fiona the last woman standing. Looks like the re-blinding worked after all. So Cordelia pays a visit to the Axeman to inform him that Fiona is going to ditch him too after she kills gets her power back by wiping out the coven. After that, Cordelia's move is to go back to rooting through Misty's stuff in order to supernaturally triangulate her whereabouts. Cordelia succeeds, but when she takes Queenie to the cemetery in the dead of night it's the latter who magically exhumes Misty and resurgences her back to life.

Also back? Zoe and Kyle, after Kyle killed a drifter in Florida and Zoe brought him back, which of course makes Zoe think she's the Supreme… because she's the only one who hasn't yet. When Misty returns to the Academy and commences kicking the crap out of Madison in front of the rest of the coven, the fight is interrupted by the Axeman, who makes an abortive attempt to kill them all. Just like he killed Fiona, after finding a single plane ticket in her purse and hearing that indeed, Fiona 2.0 would not feature Axeman compatibility. Cordelia sees it all in a vision, which means so do we and then the surviving members of the coven kill the hell out of the Axeman.

Meanwhile, in Hell, Papa Legba has Marie in breach of contract, given how she's in pieces all over the city and will no longer be able to keep up with her payment. With Marie mortal, so is Delphine. And thus Marie will spend all of eternity being forced to torture Delphine and her daughters. Yes, I just started a paragraph with the words "Meanwhile, in Hell," but the point is that all three former queen bees appear to be out of the picture for the duration.

So finally, there's nothing left to resolve but the identity of the Supreme, which will supposedly be determined week. Given all the new power manifestations we've been seeing lately, it's anyone's game. But it'll doubtless be the last person we expect, so… congratulations, Myrtle?
