He doesn't understand why the room has a strong magical pull to it and it is revealed that his friend that died there, Abbi Nichols haunts his room. She is revealed to be a witch and Dylan promises to come back after he becomes the Supreme, a while after, Dylan takes the test of the Seven Wonders and passes and comes to retrieve Abbi, but Micheal Langdon has already brought her and Elizabeth Patrick back from the dead. Dylan sees this and faints, feeling that his powers are already leaving him.

While he is passed out, Dylan sees a vision of the future, where his home is destroyed and he is eaten by zombies while a white faced man watches from the porch of his home. Dylan then wakes up and is reunited with Abbi and Liz and requests to see Micheal Langdon. Micheal is relieved to see that he is okay and Dylan tells him that he wishes for Micheal to take the test of the Seven Wonders. He does so, bringing back Olyvia Masterson. He then calls for Nichole and Elizabeth Patrick to go where this all started, the Murder House.

After Abbi & Behold Return from the Murder House, Dylan finally knows what he is dealing with, the Anti-Christ. He sees voodoo queen, Bubbles McGee who tells him that he must get a meeting with Papa Legba. He does so and is reunited with Loretta May, who sold her soul to Legba in School.
