We might actually have an answer for you, and it’s tied to another of the big mysteries this season: Mallory (Billie Lourd).
American Horror Story: Apocalypse airs Wednesdays at 10/9c on FX.
Mallory has been clearly marked as Important since her run-in with Michael during the interview process in Episode 3.
2017: Michael arrives at the Hawthorne School, performs the Seven Wonders, and Madison (Emma Roberts) and Behold (Billy Porter) visit the Murder House.
