- It'll involve witches. Clues about season three are hidden in "The Name Game". The song "I Put A Spell On You" plays, so season three will be about witches. Maybe even Salem or New Orleans.
- I myself thought maybe a Circus, given that it'll be filmed in multiple cities.
- It's apparently gonna be called "Coven" so it's possible
- Confirmed!
- The third season will focus on or feature creepy child Jenny, who had a one-shot appearance in "The Origins of Monstrosity", now a full-fledged serial killer played by an adult actress.
- She seems to have pretty powerfull necromancer powers, and she felt Zoe's magic from afar. Plus, a supreme is supposed to have a glowing health.... she survived from being burned alive!
- Has been brought up as a possibility in show. Right now it seems like a toss-up between her and Zoe.
- She seems to have pretty powerfull necromancer powers, and she felt Zoe's magic from afar. Plus, a supreme is supposed to have a glowing health.... she survived from being burned alive!
- She's seeking to prolong her reign as Supreme. If there's a new Supreme in every generation, and her own daughter is a grown woman teaching the newest batch of witches, she's already far overstaying her welcome. Perhaps the new Supreme can only emerge in the fullness of her powers after the last one's died or ceased to be vital, and rather than kill the candidates as they appear she's opted to knuckle down and either actually maintain her status as Supreme by prolonging her life and vitality, or discourage candidates who might be tempted to off her (or to perceive her as old and useless, close to death) by looking young and vital.
- Possibly Jossed, at least in regards to Fiona not killing other Supreme candidates. In an interview, Ryan Murphy mentions that in the third episode Fiona kills one of the girls, under suspicion of her being the next Supreme.
- And this Jossing is now itself Jossed — Fiona does suspect her of being the new Supreme but rather tries to be killed by her, having herself killed the previous Supreme of her age. Who knows what killing a developing Supreme will do for the negative effects that's had on her health (sending her immune system into freefall) but a quest to kill all potential Supremes isn't out of the question.
- Possibly Jossed, at least in regards to Fiona not killing other Supreme candidates. In an interview, Ryan Murphy mentions that in the third episode Fiona kills one of the girls, under suspicion of her being the next Supreme.
- Misty is a huge fan of her, and Stevie's supposedly a witch. Maybe she'll show up later in the season to help out or something.
- Confirmed by Ryan Murphy.
- I don't think it was Madison. Fiona's probably still going to be dying and then it'll be revealed Nan's next in line to be the Supreme.
- Nan has Down's Syndrome...Does that count as her not being in perfect health? I'm honestly not sure if the whole perfect health thing includes chromosomes.
- Jossed either way; Nan gets killed by Fiona and Marie.
- Because he's a warlock.
- Jossed, he's a witch hunter
- Because why not? After all, they must have some relation to the plot; something more than Luke as a love interest and his mom hating all the girls. Not to mention, how does a single mother afford such a nice (and probably historical) house in New Orleans? And they did show up at a convenient time, didn't they? Right after a mysterious bus crashing and the sudden, inexplicable death of a hospital patient. Also, Luke seems plenty old enough to live on his own (though I suppose it could be Dawson Casting). Why is he living with his mom? If they hunt witches together, it would make perfect sense.
- Well, now that they're both dead, we'll probably never know.
- Anna-Leigh, the previous Supreme, said that skilled witches could have up to five powers. Madison's blossoming pyrokinesis was just her growing more powerful and not a sign that she was the next Supreme. Fiona killed her for nothing.
- *spooky voice* Then who is the next supreme? DUN DUN DUN! I'd go with Zoe because she is the main character and if she's not the next supreme, then why is she even in this story? But there's always Misty Day. After all, we know zombies are a major part of this and Misty is a necromancer...
- Confirmed. She had a heart murmur, and budding Supremes have perfect health.
- He confessed to Fiona that he was in love with her and cut out his tongue to keep her secret so it makes sense.
- Still it is worth listing the reasons:
- She is a main actress/character with her own story arc.
- It is implied that she has some control over fire.
- This enters in Unfortunate Implications territory, but it is said that the next supreme shows signs of great health. With Maddison dead, this makes Zoe healthier among the candidates.
- Her powers might be blossoming and growing strong and no one would be aware since she spends most of her time dealing with Franken Kyle shenanigans.
- It's also implied that Supremes are ruthless and do anything to protect their own. The fact that she would rape Madison's rapist to death and took the lead when the zombies attacked are the most reckless/bravest things anyone besides Fiona has done on the show. Like Fiona, she has a clear head and takes action when necessary (even if that action is fucked up or hurts more people in the long run.)
- Whatever Zoe did to stop Marie Laveau's zombie ritual is a pretty strong indication of some kind of power we haven't really seen or labeled yet. Even Marie herself says whoever did it was very powerful.
- Jossed; Hank's father claimed responsibility for the attack.
He was possessed by a demon during his fertility ritual with Cordelia in 3x02 and the demon is using his body to carry out some kind of misogynist murder spree.
- He's working a deep cover assignment with Cordelia
- Possibly slipping her something to prevent her from conceiving.
- He also travels about seducing and killing other Witches, like the woman he was shown cheating with.
- To add to this, being Cordelia's husband puts him in the perfect position to get to Fiona. Taking out a supreme would be quite the win for a witch hunter community. And Fiona is clearly suspicious of him; could be some foreshadowing.
- Confirmed in "The Axeman Cometh"
- While Hank travels a lot, he really uses his so called job as a cover to travel from place to place to kill people and his mistress that he shot was really a contract kill that he seduced to let her guard down.
- Also, the treatment he was giving Fiona seemed to mess with her powers.
- Madison apparently believes she still has a chance at being Supreme, according to a preview, so it's possible.
- Apparently coming back from the dead has cured Madison's heart murmur; this is why she thinks she still has a shot at being the next Supreme. Who knows?
- Surprise bitch, she's still very much a contender.
- Well, her competition keeps dying, so it's looking more and more possible.
- Why?
- It'd mean that Misty saving Luke's mom was pretty noble in hindsight. But I assume you meant Joan and not Myrtle?
- Confirmed.
- Jossed: Nan kills Joan and Fiona and Marie kill Nan.
- Jossed; Queenie is just alive... because.
And the heartbreaking task she will have to do is kill her mother so she can rise as the new Supreme.
- Half Jossed, Half Confirmed. Cordelia IS the new Supreme, but the heartbreaking act is burning Myrtle at the stake.
Fiona created a false memory or vision for Cordelia to read from the Axe-Man so that way the Supreme candidates can be narrowed down during the Seven Wonders and she can kill whoever passes all the tests and is determined as the next Supreme.
- Confirmed, however by the time it's discovered Cordelia is the new Supreme, Fiona is already too weak to kill her and shortly after confronting Cordelia, Fiona dies from her disease.
But they couldn't get him back for whatever reason. It would make sense, as McDermott was in the previous two series while Josh Hamilton is only a newcomer. Also: all the meta-level Squick of having McDermott going from playing Sarah Paulson's son to her husband.
- This Troper's boyfriend actually thought that Hank was being played by Dylan McDermott the first time he saw him, and the resemblance is pretty strong. Plus, many of the characters somehow reference their actors' earlier roles within the show, and since Ben was having an affair and Johnny was a fanatical serial murderer of women, an adulterous witch-hunter would have been an obvious next place to go with McDermott. I can't help but feel that the resemblance to McDermott was deliberately played up, even if he was never really expected to play the role himself.
In the episode 'Go To Hell' there's a reference to the movie The Skeleton Key and maybe Fiona took a page from that movie and swapped bodies with Myrtle and is planning to watch the Seven Wonders test and then swap bodies with the next Supreme, whoever she turns out to be. The idea that it's Myrtle she swapped bodies with comes from the fact that Fiona was taken by surprise by the Axeman when he killed her as if she had just been there, and spoke her last sentence in a Myrtle-like way. Also, Myrtle is the only one who isn't dead in Cordelia's vision and isn't seen, so maybe when Cordelia sees Fiona as the killer she's seeing her actual face, not the body she hides in.
It's a reach, but what if?
Maybe she wasn't killed when Hank shot her, or at least, she didn't stay dead. She had pyrokinesis, maybe she gained the ability to resurrect herself, like a Phoenix?
- Jossed.
Everybody says that 'nobody will expect the new Supreme' but so far everyone is expecting it to be one of the main female characters, even including Myrtle. The Supreme being a male character would definitely be unexpected, and it's not like this season didn't show us that RM isn't above using Twist Endings to storylines.
- Jossed.
- Her particular hell involves the continuous using of her reviving power, maybe the fact that she is channeling over and over can build up a effect over time?
Lastly, Cordelia represents an idealized feminism, where they are not kept secret and have allied themselves with the rest of the world. They opened themselves up and got much in return. And she leads with kindness and love, rather than wrath and force. Sure, there could be problems down the line. But in the long run, she made everything better for the entire world.
- Not really, since she only concerned herself with witches, ie women. Warlocks are still kept secret and hidden, like it's a shame, which makes the point that even an idealized feminism is still about helping women at the expense of men.
- Cordelia never stated that nor did she imply such a thing. Considering there is only one warlock ever seen in the show it's very likely that there are warlocks but very few compared to witches. Aside from that due to the murkiness of the rules of the universe it's not really stated if witch refers to only women with powers exclusively or can refer to anyone with powers and there just happens to be a larger female demographic.
- Both Nan and Marie, two very different witches from very different backgrounds, take swift and brutal vengeance on women who abuse men. Also, Fiona's cynical declaration that Witches are innately better than non-witches doesn't sit well with Zoe, who coddles Kyle.
- The witches who trap and kill the Axe Man openly identify as Suffragists who think it's unjust for women and the men in their lives to live in fear. It's played for scares, but seems ideologically justified within the context of the story.
- Not really, since she only concerned herself with witches, ie women. Warlocks are still kept secret and hidden, like it's a shame, which makes the point that even an idealized feminism is still about helping women at the expense of men.
- The Montgomery baby was said to have been brought back in a similar way to Kyle, meaning that the family might be genetically predisposed to Necromancy.
- Jossed in Apocalypse. They even had their own school.
