Critics Consensus

"Protect the Coven" satisfyingly sets the table for the season finale with a suitably gross installment whose extra plot point makes its hard-to-follow storyline even more confusing.

5/5

"Protect the Coven" is not the first episode of Coven to drop a huge unwieldy plot bomb on us, but it's so disappointing this late in the game because it distances us from the characters at what should be a juncture of pivotal emotional understanding.

The latest episode was a relatively slow-paced affair. It briefly reestablished the closest thing this season has ever had to a status quo, before proceeding - once again - to burn it all down.

If we were the types to give out letter grades, this episode - and the season overall, in fact - would get a big, fat F.

After last week's boring, plodding mess of an episode, American Horror Story: Coven returned with some ultra-violence to spice up the final half of the season and make up for Stevie Nicks being Stevie Nicks.

1.5/5

The plot at this point is generally incomprehensible, and character motivations are almost nonexistent.
