With Madeline as the strategist, the siblings plot a long-game takeover of Fortunato, which involves killing their father's successor, Rufus Griswold . After burying Rufus alive on New Year's Eve, the Ushers wind up in a strange bar run by the show's mysterious Verna , an immortal entity with ties to death.
Madeline's Wig Reveal In The House Of Usher Explained After the death of Tamerlane , the fifth of Roderick's six children to be killed as a result of his pact with Verna, Madeline and the family advisor, Arthur Pym , talk about next steps.
