    Each season of FX's anthology series American Horror Story stands on its own, but when the final episode of Coven, the third season, aired on Wednesday, it was hard not to notice the throwbacks to the Asylum finale last season. Lana Banana and 'Delia and Sistah Jude and Fiona had more in common than we thought!

    (Seriously though, SPOILER ALERT!)
