⛧ #ahs13 finale predictions: mr nas’s penthouse & the gallery of souls this theory goes beyond simple plot twists or the usual battle between good and evil. instead, it explores cosmic mysteries, art history, and horror that connects the story to the real world and the show itself. the apollyon may be more than just a penthouse where the devil himself lives, it could be satan’s personal archive, an endless library filled with paintings that cover every wall, hallway, and ceiling, holding all of human history, sin, and suffering, with every figure on the canvas representing a real soul trapped inside. it creates the opposite effect of the ‘picture of dorian gray’, where instead of a portrait reflecting a sinner’s true nature, the painting itself becomes an eternal prison for the soul within it. during the final battle with the witches, satan, having won his bet with god, may bring the figures in these paintings back to life. they would return to the physical world, with real bodies made of flesh and bone. this could explain the strange scene in apollyon’s living room, where several men lie completely still, with a white liquid on their lips that looks like paint. this also connects to the stolen remains of historical dictators and cruel leaders, such as benito mussolini and francisco franco, mentioned in the early episodes. it may be a parallel to the jezebel ball’s ritual, when satan burned 13 historical women to complete his biomarkers and gain more power. now, he could bring 13 historical male tyrants and dark figures back from his paintings. one dark-haired man looks very much like richard ramirez himself. together, they could form an army of darkness to fight the witches and help create the new world order. another interesting detail is that the scene with the two men who look like they belong to another time strongly resembles william-adolphe bouguereau’s painting ‘dante and virgil’ which was hinted at in the season’s opening titles. the shot of a hand rising from the water also seems to reference john everett millais’ painting ‘ophelia’

#ahs13 finale predictions #1 the scene of the witches walking through new york city will probably be the finale's opening, giving us a fake happy ending where it feels like they won and ushered in a bright new era. but it's all just cordelia's false vision, setting up her final confrontation with satan. #2 cordelia's monologue about facing the darkness with fear in the past while the coven always survives acts as her final reflection, turning into a dying vision of a better world where she defeats the evil as the supreme and lets her coven walk into the future without her.
