American Horror Story delivered its season 13 finale on Thursday, resolving the central conflict between the Coven and the character young Mr. Nas, portrayed as Satan by Paul Anthony Kelly. The episode built on previous revelations that Ben is Satan’s son and that Constance Langdon and Fiona Goode are twin sisters and daughters of Satan and Sister Jude, all played by Jessica Lange.
The finale featured several significant plot developments. Young Mr. Nas killed his medical specialist Mr. Phibes, portrayed by John Waters, as well as an older version of himself. Ben and Madison’s relationship progressed unexpectedly when Madison became pregnant and gave birth immediately after intimacy, with the newborn appearing dead before young Mr. Nas revived the child. Fiona introduced Constance to witchcraft basics, suggesting a potential place for her within the Coven. The climactic sequence involved Mallory traveling through time, after which she and Cordelia determined that Ben must sacrifice himself to save the world. Ben agreed and stabbed himself with a sword, turning to ashes and defeating Satan.
In an interview, Kelly discussed his experience portraying the season’s central villain. He indicated that the script was developed during filming, with only five episodes written when he began work on the 13-episode season. Kelly stated he had not yet watched the finale but acknowledged he has been occupied with other projects and family responsibilities. He characterized his character’s ultimate plan for Ben as positioning him as second in command to continue the family enterprise.
Kelly described the tango dancing scene with Lange as a memorable highlight and noted that the death scenes required extensive prosthetic work and special effects. He mentioned that black goo from one scene unexpectedly sprayed him during filming. Young Mr. Nas’s final fate involves being trapped inside The Last Supper painting for eternity under the Coven’s watch, though Kelly suggested this could constitute purgatory rather than permanent imprisonment, leaving open the possibility of the character’s return in future seasons.
