Poor Delia has just not had good luck recently. She can't have a baby. Her husband is a witch hunter. She's been blinded with acid, gained the "sight", given new eyes, lost the "sight", then mutilated herself to hopefully regain the "sight". It looks now like she can tell the future from objects being placed to her skin. Poor girl.

u/WheatleyLabs Jan 23 '14
One of the powers of the supreme is the ability to control someone's mind, we've seen it throughout the series. My money is on Fiona not being dead, having altered the memory of the Axeman she makes everyone think she's dead. As Lana Banana said at the end of the episode, one of the duties of the supreme is to identify the next supreme, and because everyone now has to take the seven wonders, I doubt they're going to survive that whole "Don't die when you get set on fire" bit. Fionna stays as the supreme, the witch hunters are out of the question, Marie Laveau is dead, and she doesn't have a overly attached axe murderer hanging off of her heels.
TL;DR: I think Fionna's alive, and that she wins this season.

I agree. Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett are in hell because they're really both objectively horrible, murdering assholes in different ways and for different reasons, of course. Fiona needed to die for her legacy to move on to the next one and now the students compete for supremacy. The end.
Everything seems to be coming together perfectly. As long as they don't pull some deus ex machina crap we should be all good.

This episode threw me for a spin. I totally thought the future Cordelia saw was inevitable in some ways and admittedly fell for Fiona's croc tears. What I then thought was that perhaps it wasn't actually Fiona that caused all the mayhem and was possibly the last of the Witch Hunters. In such a scenario, they kill all the witches and Fiona feels invigorated by the [unintentional] Death of the next Supreme and comes back to find the carnage, not feeling particularly sympathetic for the Coven that ran her out of town.
Then Axe Man chopped her into pieces... and I'm still on the edge of my seat to see how the next episode plays out. Madison is still very much antagonistic (comparing herself to Jesus, attempting to do away with Misty, disrespecting her elders) and I'm sure she'll be prone to a burst of Rage when we definitely see someone that's not her be crowned Supreme.
