American Horror Story: 10 Most Insane Fan Theories

At the start of Apocalypse, we learn that both Timothy and Emily were chosen to be saved from the end of the world because of their unique DNA. At the end of the season, we discover this was because they were Satan’s backup plan to spawn the antichrist should anything happen to Michael - which it did.

However, Michael was the result of the pairing of a human and a ghost; but Timothy and Emily are (as far as we know) both living humans, so what is it about them that makes them so special?

There's a multitude of online speculation debating what makes this Satan-spawning couple so integral to the series. Much has already been said on their metaphorical comparison to Adam and Eve, but some fans have dug deeper into their significance. One Redditor under the name AlfieBoheme proposes that they could be ancestors of Kit Walker’s alien-hybrid children.

On top of the pair sharing a distinct resemblance to Kit’s children, the outpost's radio playing thematically appropriate music is understood as being how the aliens way communicate with the couple, like how they communicated with humans in Asylum.

Perhaps we’ll learn more about the aliens in a future season.
