So let's get this out of the way. Did anyone really care about Hank? The episode attempted to make us feel sorry for him because his family has been the head of a witch-hunting corporation for centuries and Hank just wasn't up to killing witches, especially his wife Cordelia. The problem is that the episode spent so much time focused on this guy who we barely got to know (and who was kind of an asshole) and then abruptly killed him off. Unless Cordelia wants a second chance at her marriage, I don't think Misty Day will be reviving her attempted murderer.

Also, let's pretend that entire gospel song/montage with Kathy Bates's head crying at the end just didn't happen, because Ryan Murphy was obviously trying to make some sort of statement about race, and AHS needs to just not go there. 

Eye for an eye

Frances Conroy continues to kill it as Myrtle Snow, who was once again the MVP of this episode. It's clear that our redheaded Dior-wearing witch isn't quite stable, but it's a pleasure to see her do her thing. And by "thing," I mean torturing her fellow council members who betrayed her by scooping out their eyes with a melon-baller and then cutting them up into pieces for reasons unknown. 

Myrtle isn't necessarily a good witch, but she proved that those who do her wrong need to watch their backs. The mismatched eyes were meant for Cordelia, who was now able to see but lost The Sight. Oh well. She at least got to bond with Misty Day by reviving plants. Those two are my new favorite pairing.

Suprise! Bees.

So about that crazy-zealot mom played by Patti LuPone (OK, her name is Joan). Her character better have some significance, because this episode spent a lot of time focused on her and how awful she is. We found out that she killed Luke's father by trapping him in a car full of bees that she planted there, because she found out he was cheating on her. Luke basically disowned her after waking up from a coma, so she smothered him with a pillow.

Nan won't be too happy about this, as earlier in the episode she sort of bonded with murder mommy over listening in on Luke's thoughts and God. Or something. The best part about this story line was that Madison and Zoe wore some crazy hats to the hospital. Because they're witches.

A weeping head

So Hank was born into a witch-hunting corporation, his dad runs the show, and they sent someone to blind Cordelia, yadda yadda yadda. I'm guessing the corporation will play a big part in the final four episodes, but I still don't see how they can be a threat with Misty Day around.

The twist of the episode was that Hank, who had allied himself with Marie, decided to take out her own group of voodoo witches. Hank shot all except Marie and Queenie (maybe), who used her voodoo powers to blow Hank's head off. Meanwhile, Delphine's head was crying throughout the whole sequence because Queenie made it (it? Her?) watch a bunch of civil rights footage and listen to gospel.

I did love the bit with Fiona trying to convince Marie to ally herself with the coven, all the while Delphine's head was complaining about being trapped in a box. Speaking of the alliance, Marie has unwillingly moved into the Salem house since all of her voodoo companions are dead.

Charms

- Delphine's body was waving at people in the cage. I died.

- Fiona somehow fixed Kyle to make him more or less normal, and now he's a guard dog. Or something. I think someone should just kill him for good.

- We still have no idea who the next Supreme is, but I just want it to be Misty. She deserves it. 

- "You couldn't find two that matched?"

- "What the head said!"

- "God told me you put the bees in his car."

- "Girl, you ain't got no stomach. What are you gonna do — chew it and sh*t it out of your neck?"

No new episode until Jan. 8, 2014. Until then, beware of crazy people who'll plant bees in your car, and spend your time bringing dead flowers back to life. Practice makes perfect.
