The final episode of American Horror Story: Coven airs tomorrow! Who do you think will be the next Supreme? Cast your vote!
At the close of American Horror Story: Coven’s penultimate episode, Fiona’s portrait took its place on the wall of the Academy, casting an ominous glare over the six remaining women of the Coven. Only four will submit to the final test, performing the Seven Wonders, under the guidance of Cordelia and Myrtle Snow.
Here is a look at the four women who have the chance to be the next Supreme.
Queenie
From the start, Queenie questions where she belongs. On the one hand, Cordelia and the Coven took her in and offered to provide her a family of support. On the other, the voodoo residence in New Orleans was more inviting, but a hidden agenda nearly took her life. Of all the witches, Queenie is the late bloomer. After shooting herself in the head to save Marie Laveau, Queenie disappeared for an episode, where her powers seem to have blossomed over night. Within two episodes, Queenie rips open a sealed tomb, revives Misty, and visits the underworld to chat with Papa Legba.
Advantages:
• Powers manifest quickly and are strong
• Does not have time for bullsh*t, yet tries to see the best in even the worst people
Seven Wonders: 4*/7
*Executing human Voodoo doll powers: are you really inside someone’s head?
Misty
The moment this swamp-dweller took the screen, Misty was the front-runner for the next Supreme. As a character who did not yet make her way to the Coven, Misty’s ability to revive the dead captured Fiona’s attention. Though impressive at the start, once every single character started bringing people back from the dead, Misty’s supreme ranking fell fast. Compared to the other ladies, Misty’s ability to take a knife off the wall may be the only other advantage she has. Who knows, though! She may prove to be the underdog in the race.
Advantages:
• Great scarves? Misty states early on that she is not interested in the Coven or being the next Supreme. (Besides, if she proves to be the new leader, the house may be filled with swamp mud and cute revived squirrels.)
Seven Wonders: 2/7
Zoe
No longer taking people’s lives with her pelvic region, Zoe’s powers are the least obvious of the group. Zoe’s storyline, especially her scenes with Kyle, were pushed to the outskirts for a majority of the latter half of the season. In her few brief moments of power flaunting, Zoe exhibits a book-smart style of witchcraft. When the Axeman’s spirit begs to be free from the confines of the academy, Zoe’s ability to not only find the book she is looking for, but also execute the spells within, shows a natural gift for following instruction. In another instance, she restores Spalding’s severed tongue with the help of a leather-bound friend.
Advantages:
• Cares about the history and future of the Coven
• Studious, a natural gift for learning spells
Seven Wonders: 3/7
Madison
This starlet is one talented witch. Madison is the only member of the group whose powers gradually arrive. And when they do, you do not want to be in her way. She found her way into the Coven by dismantling a stage light and killing a director. Madison sets Patti LuPone’s curtains on fire and later lights Fiona’s cigarette from across the room. At the fiercest brunch to ever take place on the streets of New Orleans, Madison controls the mind of a pedestrian, forcing her to stand in the middle of a busy street. Madison revives a recently deceased man before tossing Misty into an early grave and transports herself across the room to avoid Cordelia’s sight. Though her powers all appear at the cost of someone else’s livelihood, Madison is the strongest frontrunner in the race for the Supreme. But will she turn out to be a mini Fiona?
Advantages:
• Strength in more areas than the other witches.
• Desires power more than the other candidates, may help her will to survive the task.
Seven Wonders: 5/7
Wildcard
Could AHS be leading us blindly down the wrong path? Cordelia’s visions are no laughing matter, and if this season has proven anything, it is that no one remains dead for long! Maybe Nan is waiting in the afterlife for the perfect moment to come back and prove the Coven wrong!
