Stevie Nicks guest stars as herself at the beginning of the episode, singing "Seven Wonders" as the girls prepare. This episode is rated TV-14.
Series composer James S. Levine received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for his work on the episode.
The witches prepare their powers to compete in the Seven Wonders, as Stevie Nicks sings "Seven Wonders" on the first floor of the Academy to wish the girls good luck. The witches begin their trials with Telekinesis, and all four witches pass the trial. The next trial is Concilium – mind control; Misty (Lily Rabe) and Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe) succeed on each other. Madison (Emma Roberts), instead of demonstrating her power on Zoe (Taissa Farmiga), makes Kyle (Evan Peters), now the new caretaker, drop his tray of beverages and walk over to Madison to kiss her. Zoe responds by making Kyle do the same thing. Furious, Madison makes him choke Zoe. The altercation is broken up by Cordelia (Sarah Paulson), who flings Kyle across the room.
