That doesn't seem to be how her powers work. Or at least she is able to use them at the moment. She can do unto others, but not prevent what others do to her. She most likely got gored.

From what they've shown, it seems it has to be self inflicted to have that effect.
She can still get hurt if something attacks her.
Why are we spoilering shit from an aired episode?
She got violently raped by a demonic minotaur. Her powers are worthless. It was pretty much the bull version of

Am I the only one who thought that right after Kathy Bates shut that door and the camera zoomed out to the front of the walkway, that the music that started playing was going to turn in Michael Jackson's Thriller after the the first few beats?
That would have been amazing.

God's had his chance.
So glad I stuck around for this season cause it is LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than the craptastic 2nd season.
Head Voodoo witch is fucking seeeeeeeeeexy... just like she should be. And scary at the same time. i fucking love her.
Same for Fiona .. Baddest Witch In Town style... very fuckin well done.
I'm a little iffy on the acid attack. It seems incredibly mundane for a show about witches... like the best thing these practitioners of the darkest arts could come up with is the same bullshit fucking coward tactic you see on the streets in London and shit? Just kind of dumb for me... still crazy tho.. eye gore hits a nerve...
And I have to echo what has been said a few times already (I fucking hate stupid people in smart shows) but Zoe is the dumbest dumbo dummy i've ever fuckin seen on TV. It's like all these people live in a capsule where common knowledge is just fuckin completely absent. Her stupid facial expressions and terrible acting do not help the godawful plotline the show has her one right now.
"Oh my god we are witches we killed all those boys but we're so sorry please don't get us in trouble!!!??"
"Oh my god I miss this boy i met for one night so bad... i want to bring him back soooo bad! Lets make a fucking FRANKENSTEIN monster out of him. Surely nothing bad will come of this!!"
"Oh Shit! His wounds are ... like almost totally healed! Still can't talk or think or stand on his own but.. ya know what? FUCK IT! Droppin you off at your moms K? I got fucking Social Studies at 1."
"Oh snap the crazy monster I created is fuckin out of his gord and killed his mom! I KNOW! I'll feed him rat poison! Surely that will work on a magically summoned FLESH BEAST... woops left the door unlocked. Party Foul."
Just kill this dumb fuck already.

As someone who grew up with that kinda stuff around, I gotta say this is the best mythological representation of voodoo I've yet seen in a show or movie.
the words, the curses/spells, the" veve" designs, the ceremonies, feel right, pretty reminiscent.

I do wonder if this is a hint as to who did it - or if it is a hint as to what the person who did it wants it to look like.

They released a feature on studying voodoo before the series started. Said they wanted to make it more authentic rather than the hollywood version. There is a link in the op and it's a really interesting watch
If the Minotaur is still blinking that means the immortality stuff isn't just an ageless potion then? Like you literally cannot die?
I'm concerned about your obsession for Evan Peters.
I love this season so far. It definitely brings the crazy.

It could've just been a twitch for effect, but I would not be surprised if Marie attached the head to another body and the Minotaur came back for revenge.

HAHAHA LMFAO
seriously, everything with her so far has been pretty stupid. She better shape up, or i hope there is a Directors cut that removes her completely from the show, because she hasn't added anything at this point except for a few good lines from Fiona directed at her dumb ass.

Fiona dug up Kathy Bates then set her shop on fire
Then voodoo queen sent the minotaur after Bates which ended up fucking up Queenie so Fiona went HAM against it and sent it's head back to her.
That and the fact Fiona has only just come back after being absent for like ten years and she clearly isn't one for peace talks

If they ever did a spinoff I'd love a salem witch trials type of show. They could have Tibuta as a slave/voodoo witch. Have a few white witches of varying ages and the town goes crazy trying to figure out who the witches are meanwhile tibuta and the white witches also have a feud.
She was good for the first episode. She shouldve been the one raped in the first episode which kills the guys which freak the others out and she gets burnt at the stake instead of Misty or Madison dying.

To add to this, it's worse because a truce was signed decades ago between Anna Lee (the supreme before Fiona) and Marie Laveau that they wouldn't get in between each other.
Fiona (and I suppose to a lesser extent, Cordelia) violated that truce by visiting Marie. Fiona in particular because she threatened Marie and then proceeded to behead Bastien.

Don't get all the Zoe hate. The scene where she blurted out all that shit to the police or whatever was pretty stupid, but other than that she's ok. Also, they can't kill her off when she's the next supreme ;]

I just find her arc boring. The police blurt scene wasn't nearly as bad as her dropping Kyle off at his mom's. She dropped off a ticking time bomb back to his unsuspecting mother. After her dealing with a number of times where she almost got caught for witchcraft and she's aware of the danger she still makes dumb choices. Maybe if she was with someone to talk to so we knew what she was thinking it'd be different.

Same. I think her hanging out with Madison for some misadventures might have had some potential, but they went full retard with the Frankenkyle story line and then bumped off Madison. So now she's just dumb and has no real point in the show....well, except I guess she'll be the hunter of frankenkyle for awhile. Thankfully this episode really ramped up the other storylines.

I thought that too. Maybe the demon baby will spring from her corpse or something?

That was the best line of the episode. Queenie is awesome.
Please send help. I'm dying.

Ok, so I wasn't able to do a live recap tonight, which is unfortunate as my live recaps are the only way in which I can process this show adequately.
Um... from memory:
QUEENIE, THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRY TO HAVE SEX WITH A BULL-MAN.
The Council is fabulous.
Myrtle is hilarious.
70s Fiona is crazy hot.
What the fuck, Spaulding. Dude's a massive creep on almost every conceivable level. I shouldn't have been surprised that Madison is all bundled up in his room, yet I was.
WHERE THE FUCK IS MY MISTY, YOU STUPID BASTARDS, ARGH. NOT COOL. YOU WASTE MORE SCREEN TIME WITH ZOE AND KYLE AND NOTHING WITH MISTY, GOD.
Angela Basset continues to be awesome. Raising zombies to take down racist murderers? Nice. That bit at the beginning was quite affecting.
Poor Kathy Bates. But uh... her daughters should have been skeletons, not zombies. Though, they're doing a decent job humanizing Bates' character.
I like Nan. She's so sweet.
I knew Hank was bad news. The second Hot Redhead showed up, I clocked him as a serial killer, cause what is this show without a deranged murderer.
Oh fuck, Delia got acid thrown in her face. That is fucked up. Man, shit is fucking going to get nuts now.
Ratsky's right, Queenie had the best lines this episode.
Fiona's comeuppance will involve immortality, I'm sure of it.
Fucking lol. Oh Spaulding.

I mean I think she'll come around and be much better in later episodes. It just feels like everyone elses plot is going really fast while hers is going slow.
I think the other problem is you have so many strong empowered women(and actresses) on the show with a lot of different plotlines tangled together meanwhile you have Zoe who is a weaker more introverted character in a slow moving arc which has yet to really connect with anything else going on in the show. It will I'm sure ramp up and tie into everything but so far yoy have 4-5 really strong characters all connected in a way meanwhile this character is weaker and is disconnected from the rest of the show.

Frankenkyle + what's her name is easily the worst part of the show. Why couldn't her dumb ass play Spaulding's doll? She'd probably fuck that up too
Speaking of Evan Peters, I'm surprised there has been no MAN ASS shot this season yet. I remember them being fairly frequent last season.
What is Murphy thinking!?

I said it too last night: For now, Zoe's plot is the weakest.
While Young Fiona is smokin', Young Myrtle is hawt. Dem glasses.

I bought and finished up Asylum over last weekend. I really liked i! Pleasantly surprised by it and the current season after being completely put off by Season 1.
I have a thing for Jessica Lange. Yeah she's old but fuck she's still a complete dish. Especially as Fiona his season.

Zoe would probably have to admit to raising her would be boyfriend from the dead if she did. Did Madison ever find out? I thought she was off doing her own thing when Misty approached Zoe.

Madison has no clue that she's alive and if Zoe reveals she is she's gonna get questioned about everything and I assume Frankenkyle is supposed to be a secret.
Episode 5 synopsis:
1832: Madame LaLauries daughters cant bear much more of their terrifying mother
and make the mistake of saying so within earshot.
Today: Fiona is devastated when Cordelia suffers a crippling attack, and, at the hospital, breaks down with guilt over all the love she never gave her daughter a guilt she manifests in unnerving ways. At the Academy, the girls, LaLaurie, Spalding and Luke find themselves besieged by Marie Laveaus zombie army and LaLaurie finds herself confronted by old ghosts. Luke is trapped outside, and Nan tends to him while others attempt to barricade themselves in an upstairs room. As Queenie and LaLaurie find themselves unexpected allies, Zoe turns the tide of the advancing zombie horde when she suddenly unleashes a new power. Back at the hospital, Hank comes to see Cordelia, only to be faced with Fionas fury and things may never be the same between him and Cordelia, who has been changed in more ways than one. The next day, the Council, led by Myrtle, return to demand that Fiona step down as the Supreme of her Coven and turn over control to the Council until such time as the new Supreme manifests. Fionas struggle with Myrtle to retain control of the Coven involves many secrets some of them Myrtles, some of them Fionas and another member of the Coven finds herself with a disturbing new secret of her own. But the results of this power struggle may not be as clear-cut as they seem, as another witch makes a return appearance.

I love these, they're not too detailed so there's still a lot of stuff revealed when you watch the episode but there is just enough to get your interest piqued.
I'm interested to see if Cordelia will be left disfigured and what the consequences of that will be.
Oh, and I just read this.
Connie Britton want's to return to Coven, but she acknowledges it might be too late to happen.
They are still filming though - so never say never, I guess.

My god this show is amazing. I'm far more engrossed in this season than either 1 or 2, and originally I thought a season about witches might turn me off.
I thought the same thing. When I heard it was witches I thought it would be lame af, but boy was I wrong.
