Ep 4. Fearful Pranks Ensue

Fearful Pranks Ensue is the fourth episode of the third season of the American Horror Story. The episode starts with a flashback to 1961, where Fiona, the Supreme of the coven, is a young witch living in New Orleans. She goes to the Halloween party at a frat house, where she meets a man named Spalding. After a heated argument, she kills him with her powers.

Back in the present day, Madison is still missing. Zoe and Nan are worried, but Queenie is indifferent. Meanwhile, Fiona is dealing with the guilt of killing Madison. She tries to protect the coven by using her powers to make sure the police don't suspect them. Cordelia, Fiona's daughter and the headmistress of the coven's training school, is still recovering from the acid attack by throwing away everything that reminds her of her mother.

Meanwhile, Kyle, Zoe's undead boyfriend, is back, and he's not exactly the same person he used to be. He's now more aggressive and has an uncontrollable sexual urge. He tries to have sex with Zoe, but she refuses. The two decide to take him to his mother's house, but they soon realize that she is not going to take him back.

As Halloween approaches, the coven prepares for their celebration. Nan has a crush on Luke, a boy from the neighborhood, who has recently lost his mother. She tries to reach out to him, but his religious mother doesn't allow him to socialize with "devil worshipers." Fiona enlists the help of Marie, a voodoo queen, to help with the coven's ritual.

The episode ends with a series of pranks played by unknown assailants on the residents of the coven. The pranks start off harmless but soon turn deadly. Nobody knows who is behind the pranks, leaving everyone feeling vulnerable and scared.

Fearful Pranks Ensue is a tense and dramatic episode with a lot of plot twists and turns. It explores the themes of guilt, power, and revenge. The characters are well-developed, and their respective storylines are interesting and engaging. The episode also sets up some mystery and suspense that keeps the audience on edge.
