  "account": "In the conclusion of American Horror Story: 13, Satan (Paul Anthony Kelly) unexpectedly changed his plan and released Cordelia (Sarah Paulson) from hell, allowing her to stop the devil permanently. Kelly, asked about his character's ending, believed it was a suitable conclusion, as Satan now remained confined in a painting with his kin watching over him, rather than ruling over humanity. The devil had contemplated ruling the world but ultimately decided against it, finding it less appealing. Instead, Satan offered Cordelia a peace offering - his New York City penthouse as a satellite office for her coven. While the witches triumphed, unknown to them, the Antichrist Ben (Joey Pollari) had been sacrificed, inadvertently trapping Satan's soul inside Leonardo Da Vinci's \"The Last Supper\" painting. The season also featured Jessica Lange returning, playing Constance, alongside Sarah Paulson, who had four Emmy nominations and two wins for her performances in the show. Kelly expressed his enjoyment in portraying a suave, debonair, Old Hollywood-style devil, and stated he would be open to returning for another season if given the chance.",
