"Boy Wonder" is the fifth episode of the eighth season of the anthology television series American Horror Story. It aired on October 10, 2018, on the cable network FX. The episode was written by John J. Gray, and directed by Gwyneth Horder-Payton.[1]
After passing out, Cordelia Goode experiences a nightmarish vision of a hellish and desolate world. Upon awakening, she agrees to administer the Seven Wonders for Michael Langdon so that he may rise to Supreme.
Returning to New Orleans, Myrtle Snow chides Cordelia for allowing a man to take the position of Supreme, claiming that men make terrible leaders. Cordelia confesses to Myrtle that her powers are beginning to fade, the sign that her reign as Supreme is coming to an end. Cordelia welcomes new student Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt and her father.
At the Hawthorne School, Ariel, Behold, John Henry and Baldwin cast a protection spell for Langdon in preparation for the Seven Wonders. Langdon shows Moore a glimpse of his true form. Miriam Mead kills Moore before he can warn anyone. Langdon successfully passes six of the Seven Wonders. For the seventh, Langdon must descend into Hell and return with fellow witch Misty Day. Langdon passes the seventh challenge and Cordelia proclaims Langdon the next Supreme.
Misty tells Cordelia that the evil within Hell appeared to speak to Langdon, which Cordelia assumes was negotiation for Misty's release. Misty describes Langdon as wearing "the perfume of death." Cordelia realizes that she now has proof of Langdon's capacity for evil and rejoices that she now has all of her original sisters returned so that they may fight against Langdon in the upcoming apocalypse. Cordelia pulls Madison aside and instructs her to gather information about Langdon. Behold, eavesdropping on the conversation, says that he will be joining Madison as he now has concerns of his own about Langdon. Cordelia asks Madison to travel to the place "where it all began": the Murder House.
