In the near future, nuclear missiles destroy the world and start a nuclear winter. Thanks to her family's private plane, billionaire socialite Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt manages to escape the destruction of Los Angeles with her assistant Mallory, her hairdresser Malcolm Gallant, and his grandmother, Evie. Coco's boyfriend Brock tries to meet with the plane but is stranded in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, an organization known as "The Cooperative" selects young adults to save from the apocalypse, based on their genetic makeup. Two of the selected, Timothy and Emily, are sent to Outpost 3, an underground base led by Ms. Wilhemina Venable and her assistant Ms. Mead. There, they are reunited with other survivors, including Coco, Mallory, Malcolm, and Evie. Life at the Outpost includes strict rules and severe punishments. Eighteen months pass and the situation and food supplies are in critical condition at the Outpost. A man from the Cooperative, Michael Langdon, arrives and announces that he will judge who deserves to be truly saved.

Langdon introduces himself to the guests of Outpost 3 and explains his duty. He asks Gallant about his sexual orientation and his hatred towards his grandmother. Later, the Rubber Man approaches Gallant in his bedroom, and Evie catches the two having sex. She reports their insubordination to Ms. Mead. Timothy and Emily discover recent Cooperative e-mails detailing Venable's transgressions against proper Outpost protocol. Gallant refuses to reveal the identity of the Rubber Man to Venable. Gallant assures Langdon that he did not reveal his identity, and Langdon asserts that he is not the Rubber Man and would never have sex with him. Timothy and Emily cast aspersions on the rules of Outpost 3, and they have sex for the first time. The Rubber Man attempts to seduce Gallant once again, and Gallant stabs him with scissors. Langdon appears, and Gallant finds himself looking upon his grandmother's bloody corpse. Timothy and Emily are caught in bed and are sentenced to death. Timothy shoots Mead in the stomach, and her wound reveals internal wiring and white liquid.

Langdon unveils his true demonic form to Mallory, and she makes flames shoot from a fireplace. Venable confides to Mead that she has not been selected to move on to the Sanctuary and Mead suggests they kill everyone. Brock navigates a nuclear wasteland and guns down a cannibalistic tribe. He then beholds a horse-drawn carriage pass by. The carriage delivers apples to Outpost 3, and Venable resolves to inject them with venom. Brock infiltrates Outpost 3 and attends Venable's Halloween masquerade ball. Coco, presuming Brock to be Langdon in costume, seduces him back to her bedroom. Brock then reveals himself to Coco and stabs her in the forehead. The Outpost 3 guests bob for poisonous apples. Venable instructs everyone to wait to eat simultaneously. The guests comply and concurrently succumb to the poison. Venable and Mead confront Langdon, and Venable proclaims that they will be making the selections. Mead attempts to shoot Langdon but finds herself turning the gun on Venable against her will and shooting her, under the order of Langdon. Langdon reveals that he created Mead and that she was modeled after a caregiver from his childhood, which consoles her. Later, Cordelia Goode, Madison Montgomery, and Myrtle Snow descend upon Outpost 3 and Cordelia resurrects Mallory, Dinah, and Coco.

Three years before the nuclear blast, the Hawthorne School for Exceptional Young Men (a school for warlocks and the future Outpost 3) seeks out Michael Langdon, who has been arrested for killing a man who insulted the woman Mead is modeled after, as well as the arresting officer. He is put through several tests and displays tremendous abilities. At Miss Robichaux's Academy, Zoe is impressed by Mallory's skill at witchcraft. The Coven is summoned to Hawthorne for a meeting, and Cordelia scoffs at the Grand Chancellor's suspicion that Michael may be the first male Supreme, known as the Alpha. To prove his power, Michael saves Queenie from eternal damnation at the Hotel Cortez (which Cordelia was previously unable to do) and fetches Madison from her personal hell.

They encounter the ghost of Constance Langdon, who agrees to provide information on her grandson Michael if they banish her old nemesis, Moira O'Hara, from the house. Madison and Behold exhume Moira's bones and bury them with her mother's; Moira is then set free from the house. Constance tells them that she sensed evil in Michael from very early on. In his youth, he began killing animals and then his babysitter. After Michael ages ten years overnight, Constance enlists the help of a Catholic priest, whom Michael kills. Constance, out of hopelessness, commits suicide in the Murder House, where she is reunited with Tate, Beauregard, and her fourth child, a little girl with no eyes.

To learn more about the warlocks and their plans, Madison enlists the help of Myrtle's long-time friend, witch-actress Bubbles McGee, who specializes in reading the thoughts and souls of others. At a dinner party held by Myrtle, Bubbles discovers that Ariel and Baldwin know about the death of John Henry and that they are planning to kill the women of the coven. Zoe suspects Mallory to be the true next Supreme after she saves Coco from choking, and confides in Cordelia. Later, Mallory passes the Seven Wonders after successfully resurrecting John Henry. The coven then captures Ariel, Baldwin, and Mead and burns them at the stake for their betrayals.
928"Sojourn"Bradley BueckerJosh GreenOctober 31, 2018 (2018 -10-31)8ATS081.63[11]
After breaking down over Mead's charred remains, Langdon is confronted by Cordelia, who informs him that a spell hides Mead's soul. Langdon, unable to bring her back, flees into the forest seeking guidance from Satan. Unsuccessfully, Langdon remains strong but confused and is led to an obscure Satanic church in the city. At the church, he meets Madelyn, who takes him to her home and offers him food. At her house, Madelyn tells Langdon that she has secured everything in life by selling her soul. Langdon reveals that he is the Antichrist, and Madelyn takes him back to the church, where the congregation falls at his feet in worship. Langdon tells his followers that he has no ambition or plan now that Mead is dead, despite their willingness to help usher in the end of times. Madelyn takes Langdon to a robotics corporation run by engineers Mutt and Jeff, who have sold their souls the same way the other Satanists have. It is revealed that Ms. Venable worked for the corporation before the nuclear blast and that Mutt and Jeff were responsible for creating Mead's android.

Myrtle tells them of an ancient spell that can undo past events and asks Mallory to travel to Russia in 1918 and save Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna, a witch, from her execution. Mallory's attempt to save Anastasia fails, although Myrtle notes that she is the first witch to travel through time successfully. Because of Mallory's near-success, Cordelia contemplates her own death so Mallory can rise as the new Supreme, but Myrtle discourages her. Cordelia and Myrtle find that Langdon has murdered all the warlocks, including John Henry and Behold, at Hawthorne's School. Mutt and Jeff, who have been controlling Mead the whole time, meet with Langdon and inform him that the Cooperative is the ancient Order of the Illuminati, an organization made up of world elites that have sold their souls to Satan. Langdon meets with the Illuminati, informing them of the Outposts and plans the end of times.
9410"Apocalypse Then"Bradley BueckerRyan Murphy & Brad FalchukNovember 14, 2018 (2018 -11-14)8ATS101.83[13]
After discovering Langdon's plan for the Outposts, the Coven decide to hide Coco and Mallory in Outpost 3 by giving them new identities and making sure they survive the apocalypse while Mallory's powers are growing. After discovering Dinah's involvement with Langdon, Cordelia, Myrtle, and Madison bury themselves in the swamp mud to survive the nuclear blast. After the apocalypse, the Coven faces Langdon. As Dinah pledges allegiance to Langdon, a newly regenerated Marie Laveau kills her for her betrayal. Cordelia then destroys Mead while Madison shoots Langdon to buy Mallory's time travel spell. While Langdon kills Madison, Marie, and Coco, Mallory is stabbed by Brock, prompting Cordelia to sacrifice herself to allow Mallory's rise as the new Supreme. Mallory casts the spell and returns to 2015, where she runs over a younger Langdon multiple times. Michael begs Constance to take him to the Murder House to preserve his spirit, but she refuses, thus preventing the apocalypse. Mallory eventually returns to Miss Robichaux's Academy, saving Queenie and Misty from their future fates. Meanwhile, Timothy and Emily meet in the new present and, years later, have a son together, who later kills his nanny. Anton LaVey, Samantha Crowe, and Mead visit them, claiming they came to help.
