"Sojourn" is the eighth episode of the eighth season of the anthology television series American Horror Story. It aired on October 31, 2018, on the cable network FX. The episode was written by Josh Green, and directed by Bradley Buecker. Plot Michael Langdon realizes Ariel Augustus, Baldwin Pennypacker, and Miriam Mead have been executed. He is then confronted by Cordelia Goode, who tells him that she has prevented Michael from resurrecting Mead, but also insists that Michael still has capacity for good. Michael dismisses her, threatening to kill every witch. Wandering into a forest, the distressed Michael draws a pentagram on the ground with a rock. Pleading to his Father for guidance, he threatens to remain in the forest until he has received a message. Four days pass; a weak and starving Michael sees visions of a cherubic little girl offering him an apple and a beautiful young man with angel's wings, who tells him that God loves him. It is ambiguous as to whether these are angelic messengers or hallucinations. Eventually Michael is confronted by a black goat. Asking if the animal is his father, Michael stabs the goat to death, and a snake emerges from its severed head. Weakened, Michael stumbles across a Satanic church. The High Priestess, Hannah, berates her fellow worshippers for their relatively unimpressive feats of sin, believing that the world must become significantly wicked in order to encourage the arrival of the Antichrist. A member of the congregation, Madelyn, takes pity on Michael, observing that he is undernourished and lost. After Church she takes him home with her to recover. At Madelyn's home, Madelyn claims to have everything she wants because she sold her soul to Satan. Michael mocks her for her views and she attempts to kill him until he presents the mark of the beast on the back of his neck, proving himself as the Antichrist. Back at the church, Hannah presents two people for sacrifice when Madelyn interrupts and presents Michael, who confirms his identity and is hailed by the congregation. Michael proceeds to kill the two people offered up for sacrifice. The congregation hosts a dinner for Michael, who admits that he has no plan for bringing about the apocalypse. Madelyn offers her services to him, but Michael tells her he only desires Mead's resurrection. Madelyn takes Michael to a robotics company run by two cocaine-addicted Satanists, Jeff and Mutt.
