Some shows find increasingly subtle ways to lace clues and hints towards a highly-anticipated reveal over the course of each incoming chunk of narrative drama. Whereas the likes of American Horror Story: Coven actually decided to cheekily throw you the answer to its series-long big reveal in its opening credits from the get-go!

With pretty much the entire third season of AHS being dedicated to figuring out who would go on to become the next "Supreme" witch, those who lingered a little too long on the show's opening credits could soon find themselves stumbling upon the answer to that question before its conclusion. With Sarah Paulson's name being accompanied by the Mexican female deity Santa Muerte, also know as the Lady of the Seven Powers, fans soon joined the dots upon it being made known that a witch must pull off the Seven Wonders before becoming the next "Supreme".

And what do you know? That's exactly what Paulson's Cordelia Goode is able to do in the series finale by the name of The Seven Wonders before stepping up to the "Supreme" plate.
