American Horror Story Recap: Is The Coven Doomed?
The body count continued to rise on Wednesday’s penultimate installment of American Horror Story: Apocalypse.
Before we get to the batch of deaths, let’s speak about The Cooperative aka the elusive company we’ve heard so much about throughout the current season.
In an unsurprising twist, we learned that the company had 100 people who were controlling the world and that they would shut the whole thing down if they got the order.
Vladimir Putin, Warren Buffet and Bill Clinton were just some of the names supposedly attached, and we also learned that it was all a mere code name for the Illuminati.
But how did we get to that ludicrous revelation?
The episode kicked off with Dinah Stevens doing the work of the devil to get her talk show picked up for 13 episodes.
The lengths voodoo witches will go to in order to get their voices heard is pretty darn crazy. In any case, Michael and Mead made their way into Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies and wasted no time in killing the witches.
Cordelia, Myrtle, Mallory, Madison, and Dinah all escaped unscathed, but both Queenie, Zoe, and some other unidentified witches perished.
They met up in Misty’s shack determined to find a way to bring their sisters back from the dead. But Cordelia was blindsided when she tried to save her girls and learned that they had been wiped from existence.
Remember Madison learned Michael had that ability during her trip to the Murder House? Well, she only told her Supreme about it after Michael obliterated the coven.
In all honesty, Cordelia’s reaction by slapping Madison was ridiculous. What else would the witches have done to stop all of this?
They’re fighting a losing battle, and Mallory might be the key to finding a way to save the world and everyone who is still alive.
Mallory used her abilities to return to Siberia in 1918 with the aim of changing time and saving the Romanoff family from being murdered.
Anastasia was a witch and tried to build a wall to save her family from being murdered, but she got sidetracked and couldn’t complete the spell in time.
Mallory showed up to try and reverse what happened, but the power of the two was not strong enough to save the family.
So Mallory returned to the land of the living without being able to complete the mission. The witches are seriously getting their asses whooped right about now.
The episode closed with Michael confirming to The Cooperative that he was the Antichrist and that they would be following his order from that point on.
Okay then.

American Horror Story Recap: The Rise of Satan
Michael Langdon is all about bringing the world to an end.
On Wednesday’s episode of American Horror Story, the spawn of Satan continued to try and come to terms with the path set out for him,
At the top of the hour, Cordelia wasted no time in telling Michael that Miriam was burnt at the stake.
Not one to mince his words, Michael claimed that he would be taking all of the witches down the moment he managed to bring his mentor back into the land of the living.
“It’s over,” said Cordelia. “We know who you are. Your allies are all dead. You’ve failed.”
Just when it seemed like Michael hit rock bottom, he decided to spend several days in a pentagram circle, waiting for his father to tell him what to do next.
When nothing much of not happened, the villain started roaming the streets and found himself inside a gathering in the Church of Satan because there’s apparently one on every street.
“I’ve seen bad facelifts that are more evil than you!” shrieked the leader of the building to some of her minions.
But the people who attended the church had decided to embrace an evil lifestyle and were somehow being rewarded by getting dates with the likes of Ryan Reynolds.
Michael revealed he was the person they were all waiting for, and everyone inside the church wanted to be as close to him as they possibly could be.
It still wasn’t enough for Michael. He didn’t know what was expected of him, so he continued to take his anguish out on his new allies.
One of his new allies, however, knew the full extent of Michael’s pain after he revealed what happened to Miriam.
The woman then took him on a ride to Northern California to a compound which is all about making the latest sex robots.
The two men running things were coke addicted and had bowl cuts. It was all a little too much, but the saving grace of this installment was learning that Venable was working as the assistant.
Both men complained that Michael was lying about being the Antichrist … until the villain set a woman on fire!
Michael managed to get them to craft a robotic version of Miriam, and all seemed right in the world of Michael Langdon for a hot minute.
What comes next?
We have no clue, but we’ll find out next Wednesday on the next episode.

American Horror Story Recap: The Traitor
Wednesday’s episode found our favorite coven of witches desperately trying to find some allies as the war against Michael Langdon aka The Antichrist loomed.
Cordelia turned to Dinah Stevens, the witch who we know is in Outpost 3 in the present in this time jumping series, and asked her for a meeting.
The meeting was with Papa Legba, but Dinah was not about to set that up until she got some cold hard cash for the inconvenience of summoning the voodoo devil.
Cordelia parted with $ 100,000 and got a lot more than she bargained for when she realized that Nan was working with the elusive villain in hell.
“I really like hell,” she admitted to Cordelia. “It’s fun! … I make trouble.”
Cordelia’s plan sounded rather simple: She wanted Papa Legba to open the gates of hell long enough to trap Michael in there for the rest of eternity.
While Papa Legba seemed to like the idea of Michael being all locked up in his realm, he said she would need to give him something in return.
All of her girls would have to make their way to the dimension, presumably so he could harness their powers. But that was not enough for Cordelia to agree to the offer.
Instead, she pleaded with Dinah after Papa Legba exited the scene, but Dinah was open about that being the only way out for them.
While Cordelia’s plan fizzled out, we got to witness a whole new plan thanks to the addition of Bubbles McGee, Joan Collins’ second character this season.
The washed-up movie star could tell what people were thinking, so Madison reached out to her in a blatant attempt to make the first strike against the men of Michael’s school.
Myrtle and Bubbles indulged in a dinner party with the warlocks, and that’s when Bubbles learned the frightening truth about John Henry:
He was murdered, and both men knew all about it.
John Henry was brought back to life courtesy of Mallory and Zoe harnessing their magical abilities, and John Henry had a revenge plan in mind.
Cordelia intercepted Ariel and Baldwin’s plan to send powder through the air to kill her and her girls and noted that the idea was stolen from a woman.
Those warlocks switched the gender and set out to steal the idea for themselves. In any case, they were burned at the stake alongside Miss Mead.
John Henry returned to do the lightning, but it didn’t seem to faze Miss Mead who was chanting that it was a rebirth of sorts for her.
This episode was transitional more than anything. It set the tone for what’s to come in the coming weeks as the battle against the Antichrist gets underway.

American Horror Story Recap: Return to Murder House
American Horror Story was all about giving fans what they wanted on Wednesday night.
By that, we mean there was a return trip to the Murder House from American Horror Story Season 1 as Madison and Behold continued their mission to find out everything they could about Michael Langdon.
Posing as the most fabulous married couple of them all, they had to fool the realtor into proving they were seriously interested in buying the house.
As such a wire transfer was made, taking the house off the market and allowing the two to enter the walls of the home that housed 36 ghosts.
Behold, and Madison had to do a spell to allow them to see the ghosts because the souls were able to decide when they could be seen by mortals.
We quickly learned that Constance Langdon, Michael’s grandmother, was dead, and there was a huge hint that she took “the coward’s way out,” courtesy of Moira.
“I’m Constance Langdon, and this is my f–ing house!” shrieked Constance, marking Jessica Lange’s first episode with the series in four years.
The mother of Tate went on to say that if they wanted the goods on Michael, they had to do something for her:
Get rid “that insufferable, cloudy-eyed ginger.”
And that they did. The dug up her bones and planted them in the same plot of land as her mother’s corpse. It brought Moira’s storyline full-circle and allowed her to pass on to what came next with someone who was actually happy to see her.
As for Constance’s end of the bargain, she spilled all the beans, and much of it was to be expected. She tried her best to keep Michael’s murderous instincts at bay.
In fact, she went as far as planting a rose bush above every single animal he skewered, but that got difficult when he graduated to the big leagues and started offing humans.
He even had a decade-length growth spurt one night, allowing him to become stronger. But Constance realized he was going to wind up killing her, so she headed over to the Murder House with some pills and a bottle of whiskey.
“That’s what I call a bon voyage!” Constance laughed as she told the two witches the chilling tale. Constance decided against revealing her spirit to her grandson because she was too damaged following everything.
However, Ben Harmon was on hand try and make a connection with the child who didn’t exactly have the best start in life.
What followed were heartwarming scenes of Ben trying to make Michael be the best man he could be, but he drew the line for good when Michael opted to slice and dice two women who moved into the house.
As if that was not bad enough, he sent their souls away from the world, thus ousting their lives in both places.
That’s when Viven showed up to continue the trip down memory lane revealing that there was always something amiss with the child and that she believed he was the Antichrist.
“I never stopped loving you,” Ben said after we learned Vivien has been steering clear of him.
“I know, but I never stopped hating him,” Vivien responded.
Everything changed for the worse when a cult showed up at the house to worship Michael, confirming all of their worst fears.
Micheal feasted on the heart of a girl Miriam kidnapped after offering her a ride. That’s when a mysterious shadow appeared behind him, confirming he was indeed the villain of this story.
Vivan decided enough was enough and tried to kill him, but he turned the tables and attempted to take the women who birthed him out of the equation.
In a truly surprising scene, Tate showed up and saved her. We also learned that Tate was not taking anything to do with the child despite him being his father.
“You didn’t spring from my nut sack! Not even I could create something as monstrous, as evil, as you!” he yelled at Michael when he showed up in his room.
Speaking of Tate, he and Violet’s relationship was essentially over. Violet couldn’t look at Tate after everything he did, but Madison managed to talk to her.
She said that Tate was possessed by the evil inside the house. Could that be the case? Maybe, but it all felt a little too convenient.

Former American Idol Star Busted for Heroin Distribution
Antonella Barba was maybe the most controversial contestant in American Idol history.
And not much has changed for the former singer many years later.
According to TMZ and other outlets, the Season 6 near- finalist was arrested on Thursday morning and charged with a felony.
She is being held in jail without bond because she allegedly tried to sell over 100 grams of heroin.
Yes, heroin.
Not many other details are available at the moment, but Barba is looking at significant jail time if this really is the crime she is accused of committing and if she is found guilty.
Here is her mug shot, courtesy of the Norfolk Sheriff’s Department;
Despite finishing just outside the Top 12 on Season 6, Barba made numerous headlines in 2007 for a very different kind of scandal in which she found herself.
She gained notoriety for posing in a wet t-shirt in the fountain of the World War II Memorial in D.C. — and also for allegedly having photos taken of her while she gave someone oral sex.
Barba continued to be voted on to subsequent rounds during her run on Idol, stirring up quite a debate over whether she was earning the favor of viewers for her singing talent…
… or for these more lewd and explicit exploits.
We’ve blurred out the most private part of this photo, but here’s one of the pictures that got Barba in trouble back in the day:
She was also arrested for shoplifting in New York City in 2011.
She was charged with two misdemeanors at the time.
Still, the following year, Barba appeared on an episode of Fear Factor.
She has also acted in a number of short films since… had a small role in 2017’s All About the Money… and, earlier this year, she appeared on a “Where Are They Now?” segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
No one from Barba’s camp has commented on her arrest just yet.
In related news…
Fellow American Idol alum Haley Reinhart, – who also appeared on this same Jimmy Kimmel Live! segment- was arrested on one count of battery after getting into a bar fight in Chicago last year.
Reinhart was found guilty in February.
However, the judge agreed to strike the conviction from her record if she has no run-ins with the law in the next two years.
We’ll update this story with more news as it breaks.
As far as we know, Barba remains behind bars right now, pending an upcoming hearing.
Let’s hope she turns her life around.

American Horror Story Recap: Who Returned from the Dead?
The battle to become the new Supreme continued on Wednesdays American Horror Story, and it resulted in a fan-favorite character returning from the dead, a big death, and the return to the Murder House we’ve been waiting for.
Picking up right where last week’s installment closed off, Cordelia was unconscious following Queenie and Madison returning from the dead.
Hey, it’s not every day someone can do the thing the Supreme could not, but before Cordelia returned to the land of the living, she had a vivid dream of the apocalypse.
Miss Robichaux’s Academy was a pile of rubble, the winter fog was everywhere, and there were people feasting on Cordelia’s intestines.
It turns out; there’s not a lot of protein going around during the end of the world. The biggest shocker was a white-faced man laughing about the destruction he caused.
When Cordelia woke up, she agreed to administer the Seven Wonders for Michael, much to the chagrin of Myrtle. The women have had the power for so long that Myrtle felt like it would be a travesty to give it up.
Once back home, Cordelia admitted that her power was fading, and by being dismissive of Michael, she was going to make the dark future become a reality.
John Henry, who has been jealous of Michael since he learned of his power, worried that there was something more going on here.
That’s why he decided to make his way to New Orleans to hash out his concerns with the witches, but Miriam was hot on his tail, and sliced him up, before setting him on fire.
As expected, Michael passed the Seven Wonders without so much as breaking a sweat. But Cordelia decided to switch things up by asking Michael to do something she could not do:
Bring Misty back from the dead. Michael brought her back, and the Stevie Nicks fanatic wasted no time in telling Cordelia the villain was talking to evil in hell, and that there’s something dark about him.
Cordelia wanted Misty to work with the coven to help save the world, but Misty had been gone too long and didn’t know how to use her magic.
That’s when the White Witch (Nicks) appeared and started singing at Misty about rising up to be the person everyone already knows she is.
With Cordelia’s coven now intact, she should be able to fight Michael. As you may recall, if you watch American Horror Story online, Cordelia was adamant about winning the war in the present.
Misty failed at bringing herself back from the dead during her test of the Seven Wonders, but technically she’s returned from the dead.
That, in theory, could mean that she’s passed the test after all. There was no confirmation of it, but there’s no getting away from it.
As for Madison, she was sent on a mission to the Murder House to round up all the information she could about the spawn of Satan that was going by the name Michael Langdon.
Behold went along for the ride. Yes, that’s his name. Despite advocating for Michael to complete the Seven Wonders, he was concerned about his abilities.
We got a blink, and you’ll miss it glimpse of the Murder House.
This is going to be fun!

American Horror Story Recap: Who Survived the Outpost 3 Bloodbath?
American Horror Story: Apocalypse got off to one of the best starts in franchise history, but it all fell apart with a weak second episode.
American Horror Story Season 8 Episode 3 picked up the pace with Michael trying to establish who would be making their way to the elusive Sanctuary.
During a conversation with Mallory, she opened up about feeling like there’s something inside of her trying to claw its way out.
That’s when she unleashed some sort of power that could have brought a fiery end to Michael if he was a human.
What this revealed was that Mallory could be a witch and that Michael was scared of her. He quickly got to work to plead for answers to the person who controls him.
Things got downright weird when we learned that Miriam was having memories of raising a young blonde boy, but she had no idea why.
Desperate for a place in this safe haven, Miriam and Venable made a plan to kill everyone in Outpost 3 meaning they would absolutely have to go to this new place.
Their plan picked up steam when a bunch of flawless apples was delivered by The Cooperative, and the duo got to work in putting snake venom into them.
Unbeknownst to the pair, Coco’s ex actually survived the end of the world and was hiding under the carriage.
He later murdered one of their henchmen to make his way inside to find Coco to get revenge on her.
In a surprising twist, Brock murdered Coco at a Halloween party while posing as Michael.
Venable’s plan worked, and everyone else died as a result of the poisonous apple, but not all of them stayed dead.
Venable and Miriam went on a mission to take down Michael for good, but we learned that Miriam was actually crafted as Constance Langdon, and he gave her the memories she was looking for.
Miriam/Constance then turned the gun on Venable, ending her reign of terror once and for all.
Downstairs, Cordelia, Myrtle, and Madison appeared and saved Coco, Mallory, and Dinah from a certain death.
Oh yes, the witches are back, and it seems like there are more of them than ever, you guys.
“Surprise bitch, bet you thought you’d seen the last of me,” Madison said to Mallory, confirming they had a history.
What the heck is going on?
So. Many. Twists.
And we have to wait another week to find out how all of this is going to play out.

American Horror Story Recap: Where Are the Witches?!
The latest installment of American Horror Story: Apocalypse was heavy on the rubber, but light on the witches.
We kicked things off with Michael Langdon parading around Outpost 3 with hair that looks very similar to his mother, Vivien’s.
He wasted no time in asserting his power in the lair, and Venable was livid. If you watch American Horror Story online, you know that Venable had a lot of rules about sleeping arrangements.
Primarily, she did not want anyone in the Outpost sleeping with each other. For those at home yelling about how it won’t be possible to repopulate the Earth, we hear you.
Timothy and Emily decided they wanted to have fun, and by that, they wanted to sleep with each other. It’s the end of the world, so why not?
They weren’t buying what Venable was selling about abstinence, so they broke into Michael’s room and found a conveniently placed laptop.
There, they found emails between Michael and The Cooperative. That’s when they found out that Venable was lying about not having sexual contact.
Venable was furious when the two teenagers went forward and had sex with each other. Venable ordered their deaths, but Timothy and Ash fought back.
Miriam wound up shot, but there was something amiss with her flesh. Is she even a real person?
As for Michael, he had a lot of sexual chemistry with Mr. Gallant, so much so that it seemed he was dressing up as the Rubber Man from Murder House and having sex with him.
But Michael was adamant he was not the one dressing up, and that he should try to find out the truth on his own.
Evie, Mr. Gallant’s mother, witnessed the sex between him and the Rubber Man and took the news to Miriam and Venable.
The pair tried to whip him to get the answers, but they realized when they looked down that he was getting off on the pain.
In a truly stunning shock, the Rubber Man showed up again, but Mr. Gallant opted to stab him because he was done with the mind games.
That’s when we learned that Evie had been body-swapped and was dead at the hands of her grandson. Well, at least she won’t be ratting on him any longer.
Elsewhere, Michael confronted Venable for lying to everyone about the rules, but Venable was not ready to back down.
She said that she was sent the rules, and she was following them. However, she did not have a copy of them at hand for Michael to cast his eye on.
Michael said that he was the one who sent the rules, calling her bluff. Oh, yes, there’s a power struggle between these two, and we’re all in for it.
While the episode had a lot of action, the preview for it claimed the witches would make their entrance into Outpost 3.
That did not happen, and the only excuse for that is that FX was trying to stop the typical week two drop the franchise has been known for.

American Horror Story Season 8: Chilling First Details Revealed!
If you’re liking the revival craze that’s taking over Hollywood right now, then we have some good news for you.
For the others, we’re very sorry.
We’ve known for a while now that American Horror Story Season 8 would be a crossover between American Horry Story: Murder House and American Horror Story: Coven, arguably the best two seasons of the FX hit.
Fans at a late-night event at San Diego Comic-Con were given an eerie first look at the new season, and that consisted of the title being revealed, as well as the poster.
Drum roll please…The title of the eighth iteration of the series is…
American Horror Story: Apocalypse
As if the title alone was not spooky enough, the official poster is enough to freak just about anyone out.
Yes, that does appear to be Satan’s hand comforting a newborn child. If you watch American Horror Story online, you know that Michael was revealed to be the Antichrist on American Horror Story Season 1 Episode 12.
With the Harmons dead, he moved in with his grandmother, Constance (Jessica Lange), but his violent tendencies could not be left behind.
He murdered his nanny, leading Constance to utter the following:
“Now what am I gonna do with you?”
Most fans were unimpressed when it ended that way, but now we will get to find out what happened next.
“Apocalypse,” seems to suggest that Michael’s presence in the world is going to create an imbalance, one that will need to be resolved before the world can return to peace.
Despite the poster being light on the specifics about how Coven comes into things, we do know that Emma Roberts is returning as Madison Montgomery aka the chainsmoking washed-up actress who was killed twice.
Alongside Roberts, Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Evan Peters, Joan Collins, Adina Porter, Cheyenne Jackson, Billy Eichner, Leslie Grossman, Billie Lourd, Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman, and Kyle Allen will all return.
In a Twitter Q&A in June, Ryan Murphy confirmed that all the witches have been asked back.
That’s good news for the fans who are actually looking forward to this revival with a twist.
For the others, well, you could just live with the fact that you’ve been swindled into watching the first part of the story.
