A father takes his young son on their first hunting trip and reassures him he lost his lunch on his first trip.
They begin tracking their prey. The father circles around to track "her" out. The young boy steadies his rifle with the high-powered sight. The man brings a crying woman out. As she begs for her life, the father urges his son to "put her down." The boy hesitates and the woman spews fire at him. The dad rushes out and shoves the boy to safety, getting burned in the process, then shoots the witch.
"Never forget what they are," he tells his son.
Fiona brings Delphine LaLaurie's head back to Marie Laveau, suggesting they talk. Fiona's looking for an alliance between Laveau's tribe and her coven. Fiona shows her the witch hunter's bullet, but Marie isn't concerned by them, saying they're only after witches. She sees Fiona's hair and identifies it as a wig then guesses about her cancer. She calls Queenie in to dispose of Delphine's head.
Back at the Academy, Cordelia tries to make breakfast, but makes a mess of the eggs. ("Could people please not move things? Some of us are blind!") Myrtle watches. She wants to be sure that Cordelia doesn't think she had anything to do with blinding her. Myrtle urges her to use her second sight to confirm it, but Cordelia already is convinced she had nothing to do with it.

Hank meets with David, a big wig with The Corporation of witch hunters. Hank hoped to be second in command, but David got it, even though Hank's father is the boss.
Hank meets with his father (the man from the opening), who tells him outright they're disappointed with his progress in New Orleans. His dad is displeased he forged an alliance with Marie Laveau. He reminds Hank he's just supposed to gather intelligence. Hank argues he can do more, thinking of the witch that he killed in Baton Rogue. His father knows all about it. Hank used a Company credit card, so David had to clean up Hank's mess and an innocent desk clerk and maid died.
David piles on, admonishing Hank for his recklessness. The Corporation is also a major financial institution and they don't want to draw the government's attention.
Hank's father tells him the Corporation authorized the acid attack on Cordelia so she would need Hank more. He reminds Hank not to have feelings for her because some day she will have to be put down.
Myrtle hosts a sophisticated lunch for Pembe and Quentin, the other members of the Council, including a palette-cleanser of melon balls. They feel just dreadful about the "misunderstanding" of burning her at the stake. They ask about Misty, who Myrtle says embodies "power, compassion and uniqueness."
Pembe raises a glass to toast Myrtle's f-f-f... she's trying to say "forgiveness," but her tongue is paralyzed. Myrtle admits forgiveness would have been the high road, instead she poisoned them with a paralytic. She tells Quentin he's a fool and a drunk, and Pembe is even worse.
She explains she's doing this for the coven. She turns to the palette cleanser and guesses they thought she was being forgetful by leaving the melon baller in the serving dish. Then she scoops out one of Pembe's eyes, and turns to Quentin.
Cut to Cordelia waking up with one brown eye and one blue. She can see.
Fiona comes home as Cordelia is suggesting to Myrtle she could have asked her permission first. Fiona sees what she's done, something outside of Myrtle's previous powers. Myrtle says she found a few answers in the flames.
"The generous donors wish to remain anonymous," Myrtle says, over a flashback of her gleefully hacking up limbs and dropping them in acid.
Myrtle and Fiona hurl accusations at each other over their crimes until Cordelia has had enough. She tells them to behave. She hugs Myrtle and realizes her visions are gone.
Zoe and Madison find Nan at the hospital waiting outside Luke's room. Joan won't let her in, but they barge in. Nan translates Luke's thoughts to his mother, telling her he likes a song she sang to him when he was eight. Joan sings and hugs Nan.
In her room, Queenie has set Delphine's severed head on a table in front of the TV. She comes bearing DVDs.
"Time for some sensitivity training," Queenie says.
"What fresh hell is this?"
"'Roots' the saga of an American family. You are going to watch all eight hours of it, followed by the sequel," Queenie says. Then Mandingo and her personal favorite, BAPS.
Delphine just wants to die, but Queenie is determined to educate her first. She presses play on Roots. Delphine starts singing Dixie to block out the "jungle music."
Hank is alone in his hotel room, eating Chinese food when suddenly his wrist splits open. He's flipped over and bones break. A man comes in and tells him Marie sends her regards. She voodoo doll stabs him from afar, then calls to tell him that if the witches don't die tonight, he does.
In her greenhouse, Cordelia mixes up a magic paste, telling Misty to use it only in case of emergency. Misty tries the incantation and the dead plant they're testing it on comes back to life and flowers. Cordelia wants to make sure there's enough for the whole coven.
When Misty leaves, Hank comes in.
Hank hugs her. "Let go of me," she says. He tells her he's living in a hell of regret.
Misty joins them, he recognizes her from her cabin, where he tried to kill her (but he was hooded so she didn't see his face). Cordelia tells him to get his stuff from the closet and get out.
He runs into their new guard dog in the hall, followed by Fiona. She rubs it in and follows the guard dog to Zoe's door, where the dog is scratching. Fiona opens the door and sees Kyle inside. He pets the dog as Fiona tells him he has to leave. Then there's a snap of bones.
In the hospital, Joan Ramsey is grateful to Nan for communicating with Luke. Then Nan tells her there is a god, and he's judging her for what happened to Luke's father. Joan is surprised, saying he died of anaphylactic shock.
Luke says God has shown him the truth.
Flash back to Luke's father on the phone in his car, telling Joan he's leaving her. Then he notices a bee, then another. Joan crouches outside the car nearby. Luke explains, via Nan, that Joan put the bees in the car and locked it, knowing he was allergic. She caught him with a friend of hers. Luke says God says she'll pay.
Joan is less excited about Nan's gift and throws her out.
Hank arms himself and wipes away tears.
Zoe, Madison and Nan come home from the hospital and find Fiona drinking, smoking and playing cards with Kyle, who is able to communicate. She says she spruced him up, because they need a guard dog who will attack on command.
Queenie comes back to her room, where Delphine proudly boasts she kept her eyes shut through the black movie marathon. Queenie puts on singing from the march in Selma, Alabama, still determined to teach Delphine something. "You're one stubborn old lady head," Queenie says, leaving her.
Queenie goes to the salon to work, sitting at the reception desk. Hank busts in, guns blazing, and starts shooting. He hits Queenie and several other voo doo women as Delphine listens to "Freedom."
Badly wounded, Queenie pulls herself to a gun as Hank catches up with Marie and points a gun at her. Queenie sticks the gun in her mouth and pulls the trigger, killing herself and Hank, before he can hurt Marie.
Upstairs, Delphine sobs over Selma.
Back at the Corporation, Hank's father cries. At the hospital, Luke wakes up from his coma. "You murdered dad," is the first thing he says to his mother. She tells him to go back to sleep, then puts a pillow over his face.
At the Academy, Fiona goes to answer a late knock on the door. It's Marie. Without a word, Fiona lets her in.
