American Horror Story: Apocalypse - What Does The Ending Really Mean?

Cordelia and her fellow witches worked their asses off to ensure that Michael Langdon did not bring about the end of the world. When they were unable to do so, they decided to let Michael initiate the apocalypse, knowing that they would then be able to go back in time and undo what he did.

However, what they didn't plan for was the possibility that the apocalypse will happen anyway - regardless of what they do. Apocalypse Then culminates with scenes reminiscent of those seen in Murder House, as Emily and Timothy - the two young lovers who were together at the outpost in the previous timeline - come home to find their three-year-old son has murdered the babysitter - just like Michael Langdon did in front of Constance at the end of the first season.

Satan clearly plans on carrying out the end of the world no matter what, and we're assuming that it's because Emily and Timothy were part of the previous attempt to bring about the apocalypse that their baby has been chosen as the son of Satan.

With the apocalypse once again set in motion - this time in 2020 - this will likely have huge ramifications on the shared American Horror Story universe once more. If the series is to have any further seasons set in the present day - or in the future - then Cordelia and her sister witches are going to once again have to stop the end of the world from coming about.

But if they do manage to do so, will Satan just try again with another unsuspecting child? Is the Apocalypse set in stone? If so, is Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk building towards the ultimate conclusion to end American Horror Story once and for all? It's very possible.
