WOMAN (distantly): Fiona.

Fiona!

I thought you had gone with the other girls

down to Jackson Square

to burn your bra.

Why?

So I can gag on the toxic fumes coming off

all that burning Playtex?

No, thanks.

Fiona, you're wicked.

When did you first know you were destined

to become the next Supreme?

I was just 29 years old

when the reigning Supreme at the time,

MiMi DeLongpre,

called a Council and I performed the Seven Wonders

and was unanimously proclaimed to be the true born heir

of the Supremacy.

I wasn't talking about the Council.

When did you know? In your bones?

Well, I will tell you.

By the time I was your age,

I had already been

manifesting multiple powers.

It's not unusual for a talented witch

to manifest four,

even five innate gifts

once she starts to flower.

But that does not make you the Supreme.

Only the mastery of the Seven Wonders could prove that.

So let me prove it. (scoffs)

Don't be a fool. You're still a child.

Even if you are next in line.

I am ready.

And I say you're not.

Because you don't want

to be replaced... by me.

Careful, girl.

Don't test my wrath.

They say when a new Supreme starts to flower,

the old Supreme begins to fade.

You've been fading Anna Leigh.

Shall I show you my power?

You're weak, Anna Leigh.

We both know why.

Diabetes, heart trouble, liver failure.

God knows what else.

As I get stronger, you get weaker.

You vicious little gash.

I've seen the ruin you will bring this coven

if you are allowed to take power now.

You're a selfish, craven little child, Fiona.

And I will make it my mission

to ensure that you will never take the throne.

I'll see you burn in hell first.

Fine, save me a spot.

What's the matter?

Cat got your tongue?

FIONA: It's a dance, a dance no one ever had to teach me.

(jazz music playing)

A dance I've known since I first saw

my reflection in my father's eyes.

My partners have been princes

and starving artists,

Greek gods and clowns.

And everyone of them certain they lead.

But it's always my dance.

I make the first move,

which is no move at all.

I've always just understood

that they will eventually find themselves

in front of me.

Primitive, beautiful animals.

Their bodies responding

to the inevitability of it all.

It's my dance

and I have performed it

with finesse and abandon

with countless partners.

Only the faces change.

And all this time,

I never suspected

the night would come when the dance would end.

FIONA: I always respect a good hard slap.

Just don't make me look like a goddamn trout

when I walk out of here.

Is that the video?

Yes, as we discussed.

But please let me underline

that this is an instructional video

shot for surgeons.

If I am going to commit to butchery,

I want to see exactly

how the sausage is made.

As you can see,

the human face isn't attached to the skull at all.

After I make the initial incision... here,

then I'll have the freedom

to stretch and tighten the skin.

Then fat cells harvested through liposuction

are packed in the cheekbones

to create fullness.

WOMAN: So, what made you come to see me?

No one else has bothered.

ZOE: I've been feeling so haunted.

It all seemed so unfair, so random.

You know, a truly decent person like him.

I can't even imagine what it must be like for you.

Losing your son.

He had a stash in his room.

I've been sleeping in there.

I'm driving.

(exhales)

They didn't tell me he had a girl.

It wasn't romantic,

Mrs. Spencer.

I see.

Well, you're a good friend.

That's what matters.

God bless him.

When his father left,

he became the man of this house.

He worked part-time

as an SAT tutor.

He did repairs.

People said that's a lot of pressure to put on a boy.

He was just a...

he was a natural gentleman in his bones.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He was like that.

Can I share something with you?

I don't want to burden you.

Of course.

That's why I came.

(phone ringing)

I almost didn't answer.

(ringing continues)

But something told me I should.

You were a saint to make that call, you sweet girl.

I wish I was as sweet as you think.

(crying): I wish I could hold him again.

And kiss him.

If only to say good-bye.

You'll see him again.

I envy you believers.

I don't know how it works either.

But I'm telling you, Mrs. Spencer.

I'm not a virgin.

(Queenie chuckles)

I'm not.

I get it on all the time.

And guys find me hot.

So what's your story, Queenie?

Who popped your chocolate-covered cherry?

No one yet. She's a virgin.

Shut up, Nan.

I'm saving myself.

You the bitch that blindsided me with that candlestick.

How dare you open your foul mouth to me, Negress.

Excuse me?

Welcome to the neighborhood.

We're from next door.

My name is Nan. Madison.

Thanks.

I'm Luke. Come in.

This looks amazing.

Homemade? I bake.

The cake's just an excuse.

I saw you moving in.

You looked pretty good without a shirt.

Made me interested in the rest of the package.

Is this lemon? It's yellow cake

with butter frosting. I knew it'd be your favorite.

It's the one thing I can't resist.

W... Are you seriously ignoring me for dessert?

I get the feeling you're used to being

the center of attention. This is Madison Montgomery.

She's famous.

Well, we don't have TV.

Or Internet.

LUKE: Sweet.

Well, is this the welcoming committee?

And you brought baked goods.

Aren't you darling?

Well, we'd love to visit, but we're running late

for church. We'll take the cake to share.

Church? It's not even

Sunday. Bible study.

It's how we maintain our personal relationship

with our Lord Jesus Christ.

You know that's all a crock of shit, right?

I mean, why wait for some

phony happily-ever-after

when you can have your piece now, I say.

What about you, Luke?

I forbid you to talk to my son

or to set foot in this house again.

I didn't say anything. Both of you!

Get out of my house!

We'll pray for you.

I didn't know you could do that.

Neither did I until now.

Hank doesn't know I'm here.

He's out of town bidding on a construction project.

We tried alternative methods, but...

they didn't take.

So here I am.

I'm glad you came.

I was actually gonna call you.

Oh? Your, uh, blood work came back.

Ms. Foxx, we have a problem.

What kind of problem?

The kind that rules out you having any sort

of elective surgery.

Now or for the foreseeable future.

I'll find another doctor.

I can assure you no reputable surgeon's gonna take you on.

Your blood work is alarming, and your immune system seems

to be in some kind of... free fall.

You simply can't have a baby.

There's got to be something you can do.

I know how disappointing this must be.

How devout of you.

May I offer you a drink?

No, I don't imbibe.

I don't know if this is a school or...

a rehab facility or what it is,

but two of your girls invaded my property.

One of them was dressed so scandalously

I'm-I'm worried about the long-term effect

it might have on Luke. You know, I've never

understood you Bible-thumpers and your hypocrisy towards sex.

I know, behind closed doors,

you are the biggest perverts of all.

Your student threw a knife at me.

It missed my head by three inches.

Yeah. She has to work on her aim.

I didn't come here to listen to your drunken mocking.

Those girls had better not come around my placain.

I will call the police and I will

press charges.

Assault with a deadly weapon, arson.

Arson?

The trashy one lit my curtains on fire.

I don't know how she did it, but she did it.

I conjured the Devil.

That's her.

You stay away from my boy.

Hmm, good luck keeping him away from me.

He's so backed up all I'd have to say is "panties"

and he'd jizz his jeans.

Stay away from my family.

In Jesus' name.

Have you got a light?

Well done.

Right? Who knew

I could do that? (chuckles)

Yeah, l-like crazy.

No. I've lived a disreputable life, but I've done it in style,

and I'll die likewise.

I don't belong on these walls.

I took my inheritance too soon and

squandered it.

All that... power, all those gifts.

I just took it and poured it back into myself

and dressed it up in Chanel.

I was a shitty Supreme.

(laughs)

But, now, my mentor,

Anna Leigh Leighton--

now there was a Supreme.

She was majestic

and powerful.

She taught me everything I know.

You know how I thanked her?

By cutting her throat.

Right where I'm standing.

With this.

I've kept it all these years.

(laughs)

And now, I give it to you.

Why? I don't want that. Yeah.

Come on, here. No.

Don't be afraid. Use it.

Kill me for the sake of the coven.

No. No. Yes. Come on.

Don't be afraid. Do it!

Come on, now, do it! I can't!

No! Yes, you can, you stupid girl!

No! Do it!

And feel my power flow into you!

I know, because I was standing where you're standing!

Stop yelling at me!

Do it! Do it! No!

Do it! (gasps)

Bury her deep.

God knows what all that shit

This coven doesn't need a new Supreme.

It needs a new rug.
