Madame LaLaurie (Kathy Bates) awakes after taking the "love potion" from Marie Laveau (Angela Bassett), she goes outside to face Laveau with a lynch mob of dozens of the black slaves she's been abusing for years. Her own husband and three daughters are strung up dead. She explains it wasn't a love potion but an immortality potion she gave LaLaurie.
