"The Sacred Taking" Trivia Quiz

Answer: A human heart

Queenie, now a member of Marie Laveau's voodoo cult, descends a staircase and heads under an overpass to find a scummy underbelly of New Orleans teeming with rats and homeless people. One of the men under the bridge gets up to attack her, but she uses her voodoo powers to hold him back, knocking him out as Madison and Zoe locate her and ask her to rejoin the coven.

They watch as she takes out a knife and cuts into the man's chest, tearing out his dark heart to bring to Marie for a special potion. Queenie says that war is coming, and the Salem witches are likely to lose.

Answer: Luke

Fiona realizes over the next days that she's suffering worse than ever-- the cancer continues to wreak havoc on her body in the most painful way. She dreads telling Cordelia that she has cancer. Fiona thinks that love may be the best medicine-- the Axeman claims that they can spend a month traveling together but she's worried of decaying before his very eyes. She tells him that she'll stay alive to spite the others. One of the girls in the coven is coming into her own; she just needs to figure out which and stop them.

Next door to the academy, Joan tells Luke, still wounded, that he had no business going to the witch house for any reason. Now he's impure and he has to be cleansed. She forces him into the bathtub and, with bleach and cleaning products, cleanses him from the inside out.

Answer: An assassin tried to kill her

In the academy, the girls, despite all distraction, discuss the plan at hand-- they need to end Fiona once and for all. They've lost Queenie but they all have to stand true. The doorbell rings and, with no servants in the house, Zoe answers the door to find Misty Day. Someone found her in the swamp.
The previous night, she was awakened by a newly-regenerated Myrtle Snow who, having been stepped on by an assassin outside, warned her of the possibility of a murderer in their midst. This gave them the chance to flee through the swamp when the coast was clear.
Cordelia hears the conversation in the hall and discovers that the witch is none other than Misty Day; she's welcome to stay in the academy. Misty also asks if her friend can stay...she's in the greenhouse.

Answer: Misty

When the witches head into the greenhouse to meet Misty's friend they discover that it's none other than Myrtle Snow who was burned at the stake before their very eyes no more than a short time ago. She and Cordelia reunite and discuss the hard times that have befallen the coven but Myrtle is optimistic. Since resurrection is a feat more difficult than the Seven Wonders, Misty may very well be their new Supreme. Upstairs, Zoe sets Kyle up with a laptop so that he can learn some basic English. Madison tries to seduce Kyle and thinks that the reeducation is useless. Either way, they leave him to it to deal with the coven matters; they have a ritual to perform.

Answer: Three

Myrtle and Cordelia lead the others to set up the Sacred Taking in the parlor. This ritual is meant to prime a witch for the ultimate sacrifice-- a Supreme must willingly give up her own powers and her life to pass the torch to the next possible candidate who, as Myrtle presumes, should be Misty Day.

They will perform the ritual and, somehow, convince Fiona to end it all. Misty is worried about the role because she doesn't want the burden on her life, but Cordelia says that it is not her choice. Whoever is Supreme will need to rule, but first, Fiona needs to die.

The Sacred Taking has only been performed three times in the coven's history, the first time in the Salem witch trials.

Answer: Madison

Fiona, struggling with her cancer, throws up in the toilet before hearing music in her room. She enters to find none other than Madison, who she killed, dancing around and planning the set-up of her future room, claiming to be the Supreme. She brought herself back, she claims, and says that there's nothing for Fiona to do except either burn at the stake or spend the night overdosing on pills in a less-noble fashion.

When Madison leaves, Fiona packs a bag. Of course, that's not enough to push Fiona-- Myrtle appears next, claiming that the new Supreme, Madison, has brought her back.

When Fiona claims to have someone willing to look out for her, Cordelia clues her in to the fact that she will still die alone and disappointed by everyone. The Axeman will leave her, disgusted, on her deathbed, and she will struggle in her last days.

Answer: Yes

Out in the hallway the girls wait for something to happen. When Nan asks the others if they think she should be the Supreme, no one responds, spurring her to head next door to spend time with Luke instead. She lets herself into the Ramsey home while Hank watches from the car outside.

When Nan heads upstairs he finds Luke locked away in a closet. Fiona, considering the possibilities, decides to confide in Myrtle about her life and final choice. She asks Myrtle to pass her fur from the closet while she does her makeup.

She takes a handful of pills and lays on the bed while Myrtle steals some jewelery and leaves.

Answer: Her hand

As Fiona closes her eyes and begins to wait for death she's awakened by the only person in the academy on her side-- Spalding, a ghost haunting the halls. He explains that he can speak because he was murdered, and now he can properly help her. He gives her ipecac, urging her to get up and fight back since the others tricked her. Madison, he says, was brought back by a swamp witch. She takes the spoonful, throwing up the pills, and thanks him.

Across the city, Queenie visits Delphine's cage to give her a burger. Delphine tries to persuade Queenie to let her out, but Marie Laveau comes in to hear the conversation. She sends Queenie on her way before the two talk about the issue at hand; Delphine can't be killed, so she might as well go back in the box. Marie decides that it's perfectly suitable to grab a machete and lop off her hand in one fell swoop. They've only just begun, she says.

Answer: Joan Ramsey

Next door to the academy, Nan tries to smuggle Luke out the front door to save him from his mother. Unfortunately, Joan knows that Nan is trespassing and she's on the phone with the cops. She insists that she brought Luke into the world, so she can take him out, but this is moments before a laser sight appears on her chest and she's shot several times, killing her instantly. Luke jumps in the way to protect Nan from the same fate, taking a gunshot and being critically wounded.
At the academy, Myrtle plays Schubert's last sonata on the piano while the girls wait for Fiona to die. Unfortunately, there's not a chance-- she emerges from the other room looking for the 'swamp witch'.
Unfortunately she's wandered next door. Fiona follows to find the paramedics already there, and she ends up using mind control to let the police let them stay. Fiona asks her to bring Joan back from the dead to demonstrate her power, which she promptly does.
Outside in the street, Cordelia senses an item of importance on the ground-- a bullet-- and realizes that they may all be in danger.

Answer: A head

The next morning, Fiona comes down for breakfast to find Cordelia at the table having some coffee. Fiona commends her daughter for what she tried to orchestrate-- it showed grip and acted as a sign of hope for the coven's future. She says she's proud that she's her daughter.
Cordelia reveals to Fiona that the bullet is a silver one blessed with holy water, indicating that witch hunters are after them. They need Fiona.
The doorbell rings and, with no servants around, Fiona answers it to find nothing but a cardboard box on the front step. When she brings it inside and opens it, she finds Delphine's decapitated head, animated inside, a gift in the vein of Bastien's head, only this time it's sent from Marie Laveau, and not to her.
