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: Apocalypse concludes next Wednesday on FX.
R&B singer Keke Wyatt is bouncing back from her epic meltdown … she’s got a new husband she knows will support her through thick and thin, and one of her children just kicked cancer’s ass! Keke, who once starred on “R&B Divas:…
Wednesday’s season premiere of the Bravo hit started the process of filling in the blanks for fans and set up the season’s big villain: Danielle Staub.
Teresa Giudice, in particular, was all about switching up her look for a bikini fitness competition and that meant doing some exercising and clean eating.
“With Joe being away right now, there is a lot of stress raising four daughters on my own, and working out is a great stress relief for me,” she explained to viewers, adding:
“So I definitely kicked it up a notch and entered a bikini fitness competition.”
Teresa was visibly more toned than she was when we last saw her, so she’s definitely doing something right.
And while many have been quick to claim Teresa’s relationship with Joe is on thin ice, then the premiere may have proven just that.
“I wanted to do this when Joe was home, and he always said to me, ‘You’re not doing that.’ He was like, ‘You’re not going on stage in a bikini,"” she said to her personal trainer.
“It’s another year until he comes home, so I was just like, ‘I’m just doing it. I don’t care what he says."”
“So have we told him yet?” her trainer questioned.
“No,” Teresa responded with a grin.
“Since Joe’s been away, I have gotten used to my independence. I haven’t been independent like this — I don’t think ever, but I am doing this fitness competition for me,” Teresa said in a confessional.
“I don’t care what anybody thinks — my husband or anyone. Sorry, Joe!”
It’s certainly intriguing that Teresa managed to adapt without her husband, and her wording does seem to imply that it’s her way or no way going forward.
Now that we know Joe is facing deportation from the United States, it certainly raises questions about whether Teresa would go to Italy with him.
This is all assuming the appeal is denied, of course, but still, there’s going to be a lot of drama on the new season of this series if it chronicles Teresa continuing to veer away from married life.
Teresa is the woman who is prone to lash out when her buttons are pushed, but this new iteration of her was sober and very empowering.
How long will that last? We give it a handful of episodes.
Elsewhere, we finally got some much-needed insight into Dolores Catania’s relationship with her ex-husband, Frank, who was allegedly disbarred as an attorney.
“Frank broke my trust 20 years ago when he cheated on me, and over the past 20 years, Frank and I have built that trust again,” Dolores dished in a confessional.
“But now it’s gone, because when Frank was disbarred, Frank didn’t tell me about it, and I found out in the most public way possible,” she continued.
“I was embarrassed, and I looked like a liar. And that’s what pissed me off the most.”
“Since Frank lost his law license, I worry. Are we financially okay? Because we have two kids in college,” she added.
And while Dolores is still mad at Frank, they have a new business venture that’s helping them out.
“Our gyms do great, but that’s not stable. So now, Frank and I are flipping houses together. We’ve done this in the past.”
“Frank hires the people to do the construction, and I would sell them. I was the realtor. Right now, we’re on our second flip. The first one sold, and the money’s good!”
Oh, and if you’re wondering, Dolores is still dating her boyfriend, and he’s totally not concerned about Frank.
If the boyfriend were not part of the equation, one would think that Dolores and Frank were still an item. They live together, have a lot of chemistry, and still have the arguments people in love have every other day.
Hell, even someone as wild as Danielle Staub picked up on it last season and used it to her advantage multiple times.
Danielle is the type of person to cling to a storyline for dear life in order to get her face back on the small screen again.
Her antics last season never landed her the regular cast member status, so look for her to amp up the crazy a few notches this year.
The good thing here is that everyone seems to be picking up on Danielle’s stirring. Teresa and Margaret were open and honest with Dolores about Danielle quizzing them about Frank being disbarred.
Dolores seemed like she was going to flip the eff out at Melissa Gorga’s 39th birthday party, but the new house flipper left the situation entirely and stood at another part of the room.
