You still have a way with people.

Well, well, well.

So, the disturbing rumors are true.

You are back.

Which is more than I can say for you.

Didn't you already make this movie?

Before they had sound?

When was the last time that you were on a movie set, missy?

I mean other than the ones in which the actors

don't have to wear protection.

You were one of the reasons why I left the coven.

As the only witch who was also an actress...

- Says you.
- I repeat,

as the only witch who was also an actress,

I decided that I didn't want to be living like a nun

and herding all those spoiled brats

when I could be out honing my craft.

[COUGHING LOUDLY]

- Your craft?
- Yes.

Witchcraft is a talent that I was born with.

But acting, I had to work for.

I had to struggle.

You and your generation think that you can get

whatever you want with the click of a mouse

or the uttering of a spell.

But, let me tell you,

to achieve something,

that's magic of the highest order.

- Oh.
- Oh.

Well, I didn't come here to visit.

You've been summoned.

Summoned?

[SIGHS] We are facing a situation.

Like, a world situation.

Like "everything we know hangs in the balance" kind of thing.

So it's all hands on deck.

Even the ones with age spots.

Get your broom.

I wonder what kind of panties she's got on.

Yesterday was silk.

I'm sorry?

But I prefer to wear nothing.

[CHUCKLES]

Wait, that's your power?

What you are witnessing, my dear,

is my human wiles.

MYRTLE: Bubbles has the power of lectio animo.

The ability to listen to someone's very soul.

So the bitch reads minds.

Bubbles knows exactly how

to extract the truth in any situation,

which is precisely why we need her.

I'm presuming the two of you go way back

to the very dawn of time.

We were young witches at the academy

and we became instant friends.

MYRTLE: To this day,

my mastery of the art of fellatio is unparalleled,

thanks to this special teacher here at the table.

MADISON: Okay, let me be the adult here

and redirect this trip down memory lane.

We have a real f*cking problem.

Our next Supreme has us barreling towards annihilation.

The issue here is not only Michael, it's the warlocks.

They're protecting him. Ariel Augustus...

You think he's dangerous, impatient.

Hell-bent on clearing a path for Michael...

yet with nary a detail of what you heard,

you expect me to read his mind.

Did you just read hers?

Like a Sidney Sheldon novel, darling.

Then you must know the gravity of the situation.

That Michael is the spawn of Satan?

Yes, that thought has been traipsing through Madison's mind

ever since she first sat down here.

I know that a male Supreme is a tough pill to swallow,

but it won't be the literal end of the world.

Just come with us to Hawthorne.

I'll arrange a dinner; I'll even steer the conversation.

But we need you to find out what Ariel knows

and what he's planning.

If you won't do it for the future of the planet,

perhaps you'll do it to repay me for my decades of loyalty.

Out of all the people currently in your life,

I'd wager there's only one who's come close enough

to learn your actual age.

Ha. Hmm.

Cheers.

PAPA LEGBA: You've outdone yourself, Mambo.

Hell no.

You charge more for immortality

than a little Cuban contraband.

And I told you, I'm not about snatching newborns

from the maternity ward.

I'm here because she paid me.

So let's get to it.

The Witch Queen.

I've been looking forward to this meeting.

You come with an intriguing request.

You know why I'm here?

The Antichrist.

Michael Langdon, bringer of the End of Days.

But what makes you think I can help?

I am merely a gatekeeper between humanity and the underworld.

Open the gates.

I will lure him inside

and he will be condemned to roam the underworld.

Betray Satan's spawn... Ouf.

I would be putting myself at great risk.

Name your price.

The last time a conspiring Mambo and Witch Queen summoned me...

...they brought me the greatest offering.

Come out, child.

Oh, my God.

It's okay.

And I really like Hell, it's fun.

What do you do down there?

I make trouble.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Nan is my favorite little helper.

I could use more like her.

You want me to give you a soul.

And you want me to perform a coup.

An order so tall demands a steep price.

Not one soul, but all of them.

Your girls.

No.

I won't give you my girls.

You want a soul, take mine.

You are not enough.

I'm the most powerful witch on Earth.

[LAUGHS]

I've made my offer.

Turn it down and you will not get another.

Don't be a fool, Cordelia.

NAN: Please? I want to see my friends again. I miss them.

I'm sorry, Nan.

I can't.

[SNIFFS] Mmm.

Then we have no deal.

Come, child.

Dinah, what do I have to do?

There must be something else I can offer,

something else that I can do.

It doesn't work like that.

Papa made you an offer and he only makes one.

And you refused him.

So that's it. You blew it.

Now, not only will your girls die,

but six billion other people will, too.

MALLORY: So what's the new Supreme like? Is he nice?

- Girl, he ain't nobody's Supreme yet.
- MALLORY: I don't get it.

So, when does he become Supreme?

Um...

The new Supreme rises only when the old one dies.
