Could It Be... Satan?

Michael Langdon reminisces about his earlier life with a caretaker, Miriam Mead, a Satan-worshipper that had poisoned her last three husbands. Langdon says Mead made him feel happy and protected and tells the robot Mead that he asked for her to have his caretaker's memories in order to guide him.

Elsewhere in the Outpost, Myrtle Snow and Madison Montgomery explain to a resurrected Mallory and Coco that they had identity spells placed on them to protect them, blocking their memories of who they were. Cordelia Goode tells Mallory that she is special and that the witches need her to defeat Langdon. Langdon appears before the witches and gloats that he has already won.

Students at the Hawthorne School for Exceptional Young Men (that would later become Outpost 3) study magic with their instructor, Behold Chablis. Baldwin Pennypacker, John Henry Moore, and Ariel Augustus, the Grand Chancellor, await Behold with a video featuring a young Langdon's execution of a Los Angeles Police detective during an interrogation. Ariel believes that Langdon is a warlock, while Moore thinks it is a case of demonic possession. They consider a prophecy of an "Alpha Warlock" who could supplant the Supreme Witch, Cordelia. Ariel visits and frees Langdon and they leave for the school.

One month later, the instructors evaluate Langdon's power level. They hope he will rate as a "level four", putting him on par with the Supreme Witch. Langdon exceeds expectations on the first test by not only locating a book hidden within a mirror, but retrieving it as well. Most are impressed, but Moore is troubled that Langdon did not follow instructions. He similarly aces the second examination by effortlessly teleporting throughout the room. Langdon then passes the third test by producing falling snow inside the room, but he nearly kills the examination board by freezing the room.

At Miss Robichaux's Academy in New Orleans, Zoe Benson teaches students to change the color of a rose. Cordelia observes Mallory change the rose color to blue, then making the petals fall off and transform into butterflies. Myrtle enters, shaken, and announces that the Hawthorne School has called an emergency council session. Cordelia, Zoe and Myrtle travel to the Hawthorne School.

At the meeting, Ariel explains that they wish Langdon to challenge Cordelia for Supremacy. While the women scoff at the idea of a male Supreme, Ariel insists that Cordelia administer the Seven Wonders to test Langdon. Cordelia refuses, saying that it would surely condemn the boy to death, as it did to witch Misty Day. Behold chastises her for abandoning coven member Queenie after her disappearance in Los Angeles, but Cordelia responds that she found Queenie's ghost in the Hotel Cortez, playing cards with the ghost of the hotel's founder James Patrick March. Unable to extract Queenie past the doors of the hotel, Cordelia realized that the Hotel Cortez was a demonic portal that she was unable to overcome. Meanwhile, Langdon has a scrying vision of the Hotel Cortez. He travels to Los Angeles and successfully emerges from the hotel with Queenie.

In the underworld, Madison experiences her own personal hell — processing endless returns and complaints from a never-ending line of customers at a department store. Langdon arrives and is surprised to see that Madison is self-aware of her afterlife existence. Queenie appears and explains to Madison that Langdon has travelled to the underworld to retrieve Madison. Langdon says he needs the two to prove a point. At the Hawthorne School, as Cordelia and the trio make plans to return to New Orleans, Cordelia experiences a strange feeling. As the witches go outside, Langdon greets them with Queenie and Madison. Upon seeing the returned witches, Cordelia faints.
