New Orleans, 1833 Madame LaLaurie welcomes the governor and his wife to an All Hallow's Eve ball. She introduces her daughter Borquita to their son and asks if Jacques is brave enough to visit her "chamber of horrors."

She has him stick his hand in covered bowls. The first he guesses is peeled grapes -- but it's actually eyeballs, plucked from her slaves. Likewise for the bowl of intestines, which is actually a bowl of intestines.

Borquita watches, crestfallen, as her potential suitor runs away from her mother in horror. She conferences with her sisters, suggesting they'll never be married with their mother around. They're about to discuss what to do about it when Madame LaLaurie interrupts.

She summons them downstairs then tells her husband Louis to send Bastian (the eventual minotaur) and two strong slaves.

She has her daughters dragged out of their beds at night and taken to her torture chamber and locked up. She tells them if they're good, she might let them out in a year.

Flash to the present, Madam LaLaurie opens the door to her zombie daughters.

Back in the bar, Fiona hears Cordelia from the bathroom where someone has just thrown acid in her face. Fiona screams, calling for an ambulance. In the hospital waiting room, the doctor tells Fiona that it seems like sulfuric acid and they couldn't save Cordelia's eyesight.

Back at the house, from inside they watch the zombies approach. Nan is sure they're dead -- she can't hear them.

Zoe goes into shutdown mode, telling everyone to shut off the lights and close the drapes. Luke thinks they're over-reacting to a bunch of neighborhood kids. He goes outside to shoo them away, but they just stand there.

In her spell trace, Marie Leveau levitates off the ground. When she says begin, the zombies start attacking. Nan wants to go help Luke, but Zoe pulls her inside.

Zoe gathers everyone and tells them to head for the attic, though Spaulding doesn't want them in his room.

Nan goes outside to get Luke and drags him to safety in a car.

In the hospital, Cordelia's face is badly scarred. She sleeps while Fiona goes looking for pills to pop. She raids the pharmacy and washes them down with booze.

The hospital is a depressing, dingy place. Fiona thinks she sees the hooded figure who scarred Cordelia, and a man in a diaper whispers to her that she might as well have thrown the acid herself.

Fiona stumbles into a room where a woman has just given birth to a stillborn baby, which is still in the room. Fiona brings the dead infant to the woman, telling her to hold her and talk to her. She tells the woman what to say to her, including that she's beautiful and she loves her and she'll be her mother until she dies. Fiona brushes her hand over her and the baby starts breathing.

The zombies break into the car where Nan and Luke have taken refuge. They're through the windows and swarming when Zoe gets their attention by banging pots and pans. She goes to hide in a nearby crypt.

LaLaurie gets Queenie settled back in bed, then goes downstairs for ice. She grabs a knife when she hears a noise in the kitchen. She sees the zombie of her daughter Borquita. LaLaurie opens the door to talk to her, telling her she wants to make amends. Her zombie daughter grabs her around the neck and lifts her off the ground.

The zombies pound on the crypt door where Zoe is hiding. She runs deeper inside until she finds something.

Queenie sends Spaulding to find LaLaurie, but he meets a zombie with a candlestick in the hallway. Queenie tries to voodoo the zombie by hurting herself, but nothing works. Suddenly, LaLaurie fells her with a poker through her back. "She had a monster for a mother. This last act is the only kindness I did for her," LaLaurie says of her dead again zombie daughter.

In the car, Luke worries he's bleeding out. Nan tries to drag him to the house, but the zombies gain ground. They're catching up, when there's a whirring of an engine and Nan comes up wielding a chainsaw. She mows her way through them until the chainsaw stops working. One advances on her as she's on the ground and it's about to get her when she raises her hand and casts a spell and the zombie drops.

Back at her place, Marie Laveau comes crashing to the ground, saying they've got serious power at the witch house.

Hank finally makes it to Cordelia's bedside from his "job" out of town. He and Fiona start in on each other. When a nurse threatens to calls security, Fiona leaves to give him 15 minutes with Cordelia before she throws him out.

Hank kneels by Cordelia's bedside and promises her he'll never leave. He takes her hand, and she wakes up and sees him having sex with the other woman in his hotel room.

Back at the house, they pile the zombie bodies in the back and burn them. Luke is resting in Nan's bed.

"I like a witch who knows how to fight. You've done this coven a great service, Zoe. I won't forget it," Fiona tells her.

LaLaurie comes out to watch her dead daughters burn. "They deserved a better mother than I could ever be," LaLaurie says. "I know the feeling," say Fiona. "Perhaps our shared tragedy will bring us closer together," LaLaurie says. "I doubt it. You are, after all, the maid."

The council returns and reviews Fiona's transgressions. They order that Fiona abdicate her Supremacy. The council will rule until the new Supreme reveals herself.

Fiona refuses, then accuses Myrtle of the acid attack on Cordelia. Fiona sees Myrtle under the black hood in the hospital under woozy flashback. Then she accuses Myrtle of killing Madison saying she was in town when it happened, which is news to the council.

Flash to Fiona and Spaulding tracking down Myrtle under an alias in a hotel and finding pictures of Fiona taped up all over the walls with pentagrams drawn on them. Fiona shows the council the photos.

Myrtle objects that Fiona has to be stopped and they think that sounds like a confession.

Fiona pulls off Myrtle's gloves to reveal her acid-burned hands. The council votes to "burn the witch."

Myrtle says she won't resist.

The coven and the council, dressed all in black, walk out to a quarry where Myrtle, dressed all in white, is roped to a stake. Zoe thinks it must be a joke, they're not really going to burn her. "You don't mess with a Supreme," Queenie says.

Myrtle is doused in gasoline and Fiona asks for her last words.

"You're all a bunch of little toads that Fiona is slowly bringing to a boil. You won't even feel it until it's too late. I'd rather burn than boil," Myrtle says.

Fiona flicks her cigarette at Myrtle and ignites her. Zoe watches with horror as Myrtle goes up in flames.

Back at the house, Queenie asks Fiona a question: "Today, did I help you frame a guilty woman or an innocent one?"

Flash back to Queenie standing around the corner as Fiona presents the case against Myrtle to the council. At the key moment, Queenie dips her hand in a glass of acid, which appears on Myrtle.

"None of us are innocent," Fiona tells Queenie.

Queenie thought they were going to oust Myrtle, not roast her. She can't get the smell out of her nose. Queenie isn't sure she can live with it. But Fiona butters her up, telling her she can teach her and help Queenie build her powers, maybe even to become the next Supreme.

Up in his creepy attic, Spauling prances around in his nightie and dress boots and douses the room with air freshener to mask the smell of the rotting Madison in his trunk. He tries to pull her out, but comes away with just her arm instead.

Misty Day finds Myrtle's charred corpse in the rock quarry. She takes Myrtle's head in her hands and uses her powers. Myrtle's eyes open.
