"The Magical Delights of Stevie Nicks" is the tenth episode of the third season of the anthology television series American Horror Story, which premiered on January 8, 2014, on the cable network FX. The episode was written by James Wong and directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon.
In this episode, Fiona (Jessica Lange) tries to out the next Supreme with a visit by Stevie Nicks and Madison (Emma Roberts) tries to eliminate her competition for the Supremacy. The episode is inspired by real-life rumors about Stevie Nicks' alleged involvement with witchcraft. This is also her acting debut. Angela Bassett, Danny Huston and Patti LuPone also guest star as Marie Laveau, the Axeman, and Joan Ramsey, respectively. This episode is rated TV-MA (LV).
Shortly after being sheltered in the Coven, Marie Laveau (Angela Bassett) steals a newborn baby from a hospital in the middle of the night—after being reminded of an old agreement with dark forces in the form of Papa Legba (Lance Reddick). The next day, Fiona (Jessica Lange), finding out Hank (Josh Hamilton) was hired by Laveau, is furious that Cordelia (Sarah Paulson) allowed witch hunters into the Coven and plans a scheme against them before they strike again.
