"Apocalypse Then" is the tenth and final episode of the eighth season of the anthology television series American Horror Story. It aired on November 14, 2018, on the cable network FX. The episode was written by Ryan Murphy & Brad Falchuk, and directed by Bradley Buecker.[1]
Myrtle infiltrates Jeff and Mutt's lab, secures placements for Coco and her family at Outpost 3 after the Apocalypse, and kills both men. Cordelia casts spells on Coco and Mallory so they can stay at the Outpost undetected by Michael until the point where Mallory's powers resurface, and she is ready to perform Tempus infinitum to travel back in time and incapacitate Michael. Witches learn that the voodoo queen Dinah Stevens defected to Michael's side and swore revenge.
After the apocalypse; following the events of the witches' arrival at the Outpost, Dinah asserts her loyalty to Michael, but the former voodoo queen, Marie Laveau, released from Hell by Papa Legba in exchange for Dinah's more corrupted soul, kills Dinah in a fit of rage as a punishment for her betrayal. Cordelia destroys the android Miriam Mead which distracts Michael and enables Madison to shoot him dead.
Before Michael can resurrect, Cordelia and Myrtle take Mallory to a safe place to begin the spell, but Mallory is stabbed by Brock leaving her too weak to perform magic. Michael resurrects and goes on a killing spree, murdering Madison, Marie, and Coco. Realizing the gravity of their situation, Cordelia faces Michael and kills herself to let Mallory ascend as the Supreme and initiate the Tempus infinitum spell.
Mallory arrives in 2015 and kills Michael by running him over with a car multiple times. Constance Langdon watches and leaves him to die on the street, erasing the timeline of the Antichrist's rise to power. Mallory arrives at the Robichaux's Academy and meets the other witches for the first time from their perspective. With the timeline altered, Myrtle remains dead and Madison remains in Hell (although Mallory says she will bring her back). Mallory also prevents Queenie from visiting Hotel Cortez, saving her life. Out of gratitude for dispatching Michael, Nan appears to escort Misty Day from Hell.
In 2020, Timothy and Emily, previously selected for their genetic potential in the erased timeline, meet and eventually have a child named Devon, who kills his nanny similar to Michael's first murder. Soon after that, Anton LaVey, Samantha Crowe, and Miriam Mead, who is working for the cult known as the Delicates, arrive to meet the new Antichrist in order to breed an army of demonic children to kill all mankind.
