"Protect the Coven" is the eleventh episode of the third season of the anthology television series American Horror Story, which premiered on January 15, 2014, on the cable network FX. The episode was written by Jennifer Salt and directed by Bradley Buecker.
In this episode, Fiona (Jessica Lange) and Marie Laveau (Angela Bassett) face off with The Corporation while Cordelia (Sarah Paulson) makes a desperate sacrifice to protect the coven. Angela Bassett, Gabourey Sidibe, and Danny Huston guest star as Marie Laveau, Queenie and the Axeman, respectively. This episode is rated TV-MA (LV).
Newly arrived in New Orleans from Paris, Delphine LaLaurie (Kathy Bates) is worried she will be bored and intellectually unfulfilled. She beheads a chicken for dinner and is entranced by the blood. She later finds a slave in the attic with a badly injured leg, spurting blood from his wound. She pretends to help but instead renders him unconscious and ties him up, and comments that she's going to like it in New Orleans.
In the cemetery, Fiona (Jessica Lange) delivers a eulogy for Nan (Jamie Brewer), who "fell in the tub", which includes a mention of the new union with Marie (Angela Bassett). Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe) arrives with a leashed Delphine, to Marie and Fiona's dismay. David (Mike Colter) reports to Hank's father, Harrison Renard (Michael Cristofer), that Hank will be identified by NOPD as a homeless veteran with PTSD. Harrison wants a reprieve from the witches, and calls to set up a meeting with Fiona.
