Immediate Resignation: The Council, under the direction of Myrtle Snow, demands the immediate resignation of Fiona as the Supreme. Since a new Supreme has not shown herself yet, the Coven is to be led by the council until that time arrives. Even against charges of gross neglect and the new pattern of tragedies that have sprung since Fiona’s return, Fiona finds room to argue. The Coven, she rebuts, is under attack from the inside. A certain member of the Council has been in New Orleans longer than she is willing to admit with the intention to destroy Fiona over a grudge held from childhood.
Fiona’s cool persuasive defense of her rightful position as Supreme strikes discontent in the minds of the council. Myrtle Snow, the face under the hood, is the one willing to do everything in her power to make the Coven her own. Every move in Myrtle’s life, according to Fiona, is carefully executed in order to gain what she did not inherit from birth. The breaking point arrives when Fiona grabs Myrtle’s hand to show the council the burns from sulfuric acid. Caught red handed for crimes against Cordelia, the Council announces there is to be no further discussion; burn the witch.
Set to the soundtrack of Dr. John’s “Right Place, Right Time,” the death march to the stake begins. The Coven, clad in black mourning wear, lead a Purtainly dressed Myrtle to the wooden pole. After being doused in gasoline, Fiona asks if she has any final words, while lighting a cigarette. Myrtle Snow cautions the girls to watch Fiona, she may be burning at the stake today, but she will finally be free from Fiona’s constant boiling. With a flick of the cigarette, the witch burns.
Back inside the school, Queenie requests an audience with Miss Fiona. Queenie admits that she does owe Fiona for saving her life, but her repayment plan is beginning to get to her. Queenie stuck her hand in sulfuric acid to inflict the wound on Myrtle Snow at the inquisition. Did she help frame a bad witch, or did she watch an innocent woman burn? Fiona talks her way out of another jam by convincing Queenie that she is beginning to show strong signs of becoming the next Supreme. With a confidence boost like that what more questioning of your ability do you need?
Umm: It has only been 24-48 hours at most since Zoe lost track of Evan Peters… erm, Kyle. Build-a-Boyfriend is still out on the streets, but Zoe may have a couple of other things on her mind at the moment. Let’s hope they redeem this character with a better story line or leave him out to reunite with Misty Day.
Speaking of Misty, how about that ending? Can you imagine if Myrtle Snow rises and dances with Misty to Stevie Nicks in the forest?
Highlights:
•Madame LaLauire: “I swoon the moment terror registers on a handsome face.” It’s ok to love that quality about her, right?
•Spalding: Though not addressed last week, Spalding has some creepy things going on in that attic space. Surfacing again this week, Spalding dismisses the ladies from entering the attic and interrupting his tea time with Madison. He also douses the room in air fresher and accidentally rips off her arm… Rotting corpses, am I right?
•Fiona and LaLaurie BFF: When LaLaurie confides in Fiona that she now knows what it feels like to understand your children deserved a better mother, she hopes that the two will grow closer. Fiona sets her back a few steps when she reminds her that she is still the maid.
