Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson and the ‘Coven’ on What Brought Them Back to ‘American Horror Story’ — and If This Is the End

The recent season of American Horror Story 13 reunited the coven of witches, led by the return of Supreme Fiona Goode (Jessica Lange), after their devastating loss. The witches, including Madison Montgomery (Emma Roberts), Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe), and Coco (Leslie Grossman), had suffered a major setback when Supreme Cordelia Goode (Sarah Paulson) was killed by a group of historical serial killers. The witches were desperate, needing Fiona's powerful return to overcome their enemies and save the world.

In the first episode, Fiona's return was met with a shock as she confronted James Patrick March (Evan Peters), the Zodiac killer who had been orchestrating the murders. Fiona, brought back to life by her mother Cordelia's spell, turned James' conspirators against him and used her powers to revive Cordelia. The witches immediately set out to defeat the remaining evil forces.

In the second episode, Fiona reunited with her daughter Cordelia (Sarah Paulson), who was reminiscing about their past together. Fiona revealed her experiences in hell and used this knowledge to help Cordelia develop the strength to become a Supreme for the ages. Together, they worked to uncover the devil's role in the attacks and descended to hell to seek Papa Legba's (Orlando Jones) help, in exchange for Fiona's escape from Cordelia's spell.

Cordelia made the ultimate sacrifice by letting Fiona enter hell, with Queenie making the final sacrifice to reunite with Delphine LaLaurie (Kathy Bates) down there.
