Then there's Cordelia, the headmistress who faces her own bewitching battles, teaching the girls to embrace their inner strength – all while dealing with her own mother, the Supreme witch with more ambition than empathy in her veins. Oh, and let's not forget about our dark history lesson with Madame Lalaurie, whose murky past with her slaves sends chills down the greenest of witches' spines.
