'American Horror Story Apocalypse': Episode 4 'It Could Be... Satan' promo explained

Madison Montgomery appears uncharacteristically nice while there's a secret revealed about the mysterious Mallory - episode four promo explained!

'Forbidden Fruit' has definitely set our expectations extremely high so will 'Could It Be... Satan?' bowl us over or let us down? Since 'American Horror Story: Apocalypse' hasn't let us down so far, I don't think it's going to start now - although, this week's promo is probably the most confusing one so far. 

It starts with Madison Montgomery working in what looks like a laundromat - she appears to be a shop assistant, looking completely watered down in a neat cyan uniform. She's polite too, which is so out of character for her. In comes Michael with a pair of really sleek shoes and shorter hair and Madison goes, "Who are you again?" It wouldn't be too strange to assume that this could be Madison's personal hell - a dark place filled with the fear that she would have to let go of her lavish ways. Since Michael has previously said that he reaches out to the darkness within people, is this Madison's darkest place? So pliable, so co-operative - it doesn't look like the movie star witch who made the snooty jab at Mallory in the last episode.
