Madison and Nan take a liking to the new next door neighbor, Luke Ramsey, but have problems with his overly-religious mother Joan. After an encounter with the Ramseys, Madison develops the power of Pyrokinesis.
A weakened Fiona learns she has terminal cancer and believes it to be caused by one of the students rising to take her place as the Supreme.

Realizing she is the next Supreme, Fiona plans to get rid of her.
Zoe visits Kyle's distraught mother and takes him home, not knowing of her true colors. She sexually abuses him.
Cordelia is told by her doctor that she can never have a baby and goes to Marie Laveau for help.
As punishment for her crimes of torture and abuse of slaves in 1830, Delphine LaLaurie is forced by Fiona to be a maid to the students, causing tension between her and Queenie.
