[1] Having made a deal with the Antichrist, Dinah Stevens breaks a protective spell that Cordelia placed on Miss Robichaux's Academy, letting Michael and Mead in.
Michael meets with Jeff and Mutt who present him with the Cooperative, an organization of elites who sold their souls to Satan in exchange for worldly gifts – formerly known as the Illuminati.
Myrtle reveals that there might be a way to bring the dead witches back via a time-travel spell known as Tempus infinitum, but mentions that every attempt to perform such a feat resulted in death.
The witches travel to California to seek aid from Behold and John Henry, only to find them and their students murdered (presumably by Michael and Mead).
The critical consensus reads: "Not even a pitch-perfect reference to Omen III could keep Apocalypse's penultimate episode from succumbing to the franchise's penchant for uneven pacing and meandering character arcs.
She was also disappointed by many story elements like the reason why Dinah chose to help Michael and Mead; the easy explanation given for the apocalypse; and the fact that time travel might be the solution to stop the Antichrist.
She disliked the cliffhanger of the episode, commenting that it was just "people in very silly hats flipping to Page 6 of their End of Days marketing binders."
