"American Horror Story" shocked audiences last night with episode 4, "Fearful Pranks Ensue" by providing fans with an in-depth look at the twisted history of the Coven. The latest episode of the FX miniseries also introduces some witchy politics, considering most of the witches seem to do as they please, the arrival of the Council of Witchcraft at Miss Robichaux's Academy was a shock. So why exactly did the Council of Witchcraft make a surprise visit to New Orleans, well because they heard about the young Madison's death and they suspect that Fiona was the one behind her slit throat. And despite them being completely and totally right, the allegations are still surprising to the other witches of Coven.
Even more surprising and quite fun was the Council's interrogation of Fiona, while I truly adore the Supreme witch and her "baddest witch in town" attitude, she was surely looking for trouble after murdering the young witch in cold blood. And don't forget, this is not the first witch Fiona has eliminated, she is quite the master of slitting throats. In episode 3, "The Replacements" fans were treated to frightfully fun flashback to Fiona in 1971. The young and brash witch knew that she was set to become the next Supreme, but instead of obtaining the coveted title with grace, Fiona took it. She killed the Supreme witch, Anna Lee, at the time in order to secure her title and come into her potent powers earlier. But little Fiona wasn't the only one in the academy at the time of the murder.
Spalding was there, and he saw it all. But this blast for the past wasn't the only thing Fiona had to deal with last night. Myrtle, who is a former classmate of Fiona's sits on the Council, and has long suspected Fiona of multiple wrong doings. How exactly does the witch now that Fiona is guilty? Well she is gifted with the power to know when someone is lying, and she is also on a mission to expose Fiona for what she really is- a ruthless and selfish murderer. Oh and did we mention that if Fiona is found guilty the punishment for "any witch caught harming another witch will be stripped, tied to a wooden stake and set upon fire until she burns to death." But getting the confession they need may be harder than they realized. The only witness to the murders is Spalding and as we've seen in the first three episodes of "American Horror Story" he doesn't talk much, well really not at all.
This isn't the first time Myrtle, Fiona and Spalding have been in a bind together. After Fiona committed her first murder of Anna Lee, Myrtle cast an enchantment that would force Spalding, who saw everything, to tell the Council the truth about the night Anna Lee went missing. But Spalding overheard this plan, and decided to cut off his own tongue to protect Fiona, before committing himself to life of silence, Spalding used his final words to confess his love to Fiona. As if you didn't think "American Horror Story" couldn't get any more twisted, this isn't even the creepy butler's biggest secret. Spalding, who not only keeps Fiona's secrets also disposes of her murdered bodies, well something like that. "Fearful Pranks Ensue" concluded with Spalding hosting a tea party with his porcelain dolls who keep him company and a special guest a very much dead Madison sporting only a bra and underwear.
If Coven has reached its disturbing limit for it, I would advise you to not read on, because Spalding and Madison's relationship has just begun. "American Horror Story" creator Ryan Murphy teased that what Spalding puts the dead witch through is "the most shocking thing we've ever done on the show."
