Voodoo queen Dinah Stevens is seen performing a ritual on a man who is guilty of having extramarital sex. Dinah gets paid by the cheated wife and surprises her with the woman's ripped-out heart which she puts in a blender, together with some other concoctions. After forcing the husband to swallow the potion, Dinah leaves and is confronted outside by Cordelia. The witch reveals she needs Dinah's help with summoning Papa Legba in order to stop Michael.
On the set of a slasher movie, witch actress Bubbles McGee is visited by Madison. The ex-coven member is needed back within the circle in order to use her exceptional telepathic powers on Ariel Augustus and Baldwin Pennypacker. Meanwhile, Cordelia and Dinah summon Papa Legba who is accompanied by the soul of dead witch Nan. Cordelia tells Legba about preparing a trap for Michael: banishing him to Hell forever. Legba demands the souls of all the witches in return but the Supreme refuses and Legba disappears.
At Miss Robichaux's, Coco discovers a new power – she can divine calorie content of meals. While eating a snowball, Coco begins to choke and dies, but Mallory telekinetically opens Coco's throat, removing the snowball and saving her life. Such a feat makes Zoe think it's rather Mallory than Michael who is responsible for Cordelia's powers waning. Bubbles and Myrtle have dinner with Ariel and Baldwin and Bubbles uses her powers to learn about the warlocks' plans to assassinate their fellow John Henry Moore as well all the witches of Robichaux's.
Coco and the coven's bodyguards kidnap the satanist Mead who murdered John Henry. Meanwhile, witches have Mallory go through the trials of the Seven Wonders. Mallory passes all of them, most notably the final one by bringing Moore back to life. Cordelia and Myrtle expose and capture Baldwin and Ariel who were planning to kill the coven with a poisonous chemical. Both warlocks along with Mead are burned at the stake for their crimes.
