'American Horror Story: Coven' Recap: 'The Magical Delights of Stevie Nicks'

Papa Legba wants your soul!
BY KARL PFEIFFER

Where do I even begin with this week's AHS recap? It's almost as if every scene was equally fantastic and seriously underwhelming.

I mean, we start with Fiona making nice and tucking Marie into bed. I love seeing enemies come together, but this one leaves me wondering too much. Sure, Fiona just wants Marie's secret to immortality, and Marie has no coven of her own left, but now they're BFFs forever? I like it, but I'm just not buying it so soon. Like, really? Hank wiped badass Marie off the map and now she needs tucked in by Fiona?

But! We hit a string of ups as we first begin to learn about Marie's backstory and how she gained her immortality, which, as it were, was by selling her soul to a kind of crossroads spirit, Papa Legba of Haitian Vodou lore, who requires an innocent soul every year to ensure her longevity.
