"The Axeman Cometh" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Jazz

Writing a letter to the people of the city of New Orleans in 1919, the mysterious Axeman vowed to claim his victims, one way or another, during his next passing through. He offered sanctuary, however, saying that he would give mercy and pass over any house playing jazz music in full swing by 10:15pm. If he found a house in the city that did not he would kill anyone inside. At Miss Robichaux's the girls had a plan in mind. Seeking a way to demonstrate their powers and rise against the oppressive male murderer they decided to play opera, luring the Axeman to the academy and working together to stab him and seal his spirit away.

Answer: Zoe

Zoe, searching for answers, looks through Madison's things; she's still missing. Amongst the belongings is a small bottle of booze and it rolls on the floor into the closet. Moving some clothes aside Zoe finds a secret panel in the wall, opening into a crawlspace filled with old items left behind by past witches. Among the belongings here, some put away by the witches who resided in the academy in the 1910s, is a Ouija board.

Answer: Absinthe

Zoe tells the other girls that their numbers have been going down for years and now it's down to the three of them to rebuild the coven. They need to find Madison. All three of them take a shot of absinthe and decide to watch each others' backs before placing a shotglass down as a planchette. Sitting in front of the fire, they begin asking questions.

As it turns out they're not alone; they speak with someone who was murdered in the house...by witches. The spirit reveals itself as the Axeman and Queenie puts the end to the session.

Answer: Get chemotherapy

Fiona, eager to last as long as she can, begins to get her chemotherapy treatment at the hospital and realizes that she now has the power to read thoughts. This, however, causes her to become unnerved as those around her exhibit an overwhelming sense of dread and fear.

She starts to leave but a doctor convinces her to finish her treatment; she admits she's doing it because her daughter needs her now, more than she ever has. She also worries that she may lose her hair and that she may not have one great love affair in her lie.

Answer: Attic

The girls take to the internet to look up the Axeman and Zoe realizes that they forgot to ask him about Madison. Queenie says they shouldn't; a spirit will say anything to get released. Zoe turns out to be the only one who has the spine to do it, so she sets the table up again and asks away, claiming she'll give him what he wants if he says.

When she uses the board, he spells out 'ATTIC'. This takes her up into Spalding's room of dolls where, sure enough, Madison's decaying corpse is hiding in a large chest along the wall. That's when Spalding comes up from behind and grabs her.

Answer: Chrysanthemum

Fiona returns to the Academy before Cordelia makes her arrival with Hank. Cordelia, now blind, acclimates well to walking with a cane though it's clear that she's not in good spirits. When she tries to take a seat, Hank helps her and touches her bare skin, leading to an instant rush of visions in Cordelia's mind.

She chastises him for his infidelities and kicks him out. When Fiona commends her for her amazing, but difficult gift, she also touches Cordelia and reveals to her that Myrtle was burned at the stake. Cordelia doesn't believe that Myrtle could have blinded her.

Answer: Yes

Up in the attic, Spalding is tied up by Zoe, Nan, and Queenie and Nan reads his mind to spur a conversation. The girls threaten him with a hot, metal spatula, urging him to spill the beans; Queenie in particular is able to put this to good use. Nan reveals, based on his thoughts, that he killed her because he wanted her to be his first love.

When he alleges that they can't do anything about it, Queenie burns her face, knocking him out in pain. Zoe says that she doesn't believe him and he's probably keeping the secret in his mind with a trick or two.

Answer: The greenhouse

Out in the bayou, Misty Day tends to her plants, specifically a mound of earth containing Myrtle Snow's regenerating body. That's when Kyle returns, seeking shelter with her. She bathes him but, in a rage spurned by memories of his abusive mother, he destroys her furniture and smashes her Stevie Nicks tapes, prompting her, in utter distress and sadness, to send him home with Zoe. Zoe asks her to come along with her as well; she needs help. Zoe ends up chaining Kyle up in the greenhouse while they try to figure out a way to bring back Madison. Misty says that Madison is likely too far gone, but they'll do their best. Sure enough, Madison is reawakened.

Answer: The heads of all of the witches in the academy

Hank stops in at Cornrow City to speak to Marie Laveau. Apparently, she hired him, a professional witch hunter, to kill all of the Salem descendants, something he admits to be doing (nine in five years); his latest victim was Kaylee, a witch with the power of pyromancy. She visited Miss Robichaux's on Cordelia's invitation but didn't stay. Marie says that he's in love with Cordelia, something he disagrees with. She tells him that she wants all of their heads-- every witch in the academy-- or he will die.

Back at the Academy, the girls decide to hide Madison until the right moment. Misty, meanwhile, says that she needs to go back to her cabin. She also refuses to take Kyle with her.

Madison, meanwhile, starts to regain complexion and finds that she can't stomach any food or drink. She can't remember what happened to her, but she recalls red...and darkness. She did not see a bright light; there is nothing on the other side.

Answer: Fiona

Cordelia feels her way through her bedroom, unable to recall the set-up and unable to see. As she undresses for bed, the Axeman appears and asks her for release. He demands the reward for Zoe's favour and she screams. The girls hear her screaming and Zoe realizes that she now has no choice but to own up.

She heads to the spellbooks downstairs and senses the right incantation, pulling the tome out and turning to the right page. She, Nan, and Queenie gather their powers and are successfully able to send the Axeman on his way.

He strolls down the front steps and out the gate to freedom. His first stop is the local jazz bar where Fiona, stressed, discovers that she's losing her hair. While she contemplates her mortality at the bar, a man sits next to her-- the Axeman-- and he asks what she's drinking.
