The spellcasters of Miss Robichaux’s Academy just got a massive power boost. The latest double-header of *American Horror Story: 13* delivered the ultimate fan-service twist by bringing back former Supreme Fiona Goode, played by franchise icon Jessica Lange. Her shocking comeback arrives right when the surviving witches need an unstoppable force in their corner. The magical squad took a devastating hit right before Fiona’s dramatic entrance. Current Supreme Cordelia Goode, portrayed by Sarah Paulson, met a tragic end at the hands of *Hotel* villain James Patrick March (Evan Peters) and his gruesome crew of historical serial killers. The murderous rampage was orchestrated by the mysterious Mr. Nas, played by Paul Anthony Kelly, who is revealed to be Satan aiming to collect souls for world domination.

While the former Supreme’s return gives the group a fighting chance, the witches still face massive odds against the devilish Mr. Nas and his undead forces. Viewers can expect even more chaos as the fight for survival reaches a boiling point.
