Once again we’ve been introduced to a whole new set of ghosts on “American Horror Story,” but it seems some of the cast might not be ghosts after all. Which are and which aren’t? I’m still scratching my head.

The opener had the back story with Constance and the maid Moira. Moira slept with Constance’s husband once, he later tried to rape her, but Constance walked in and shot them both. She shot Moira in the head, which gave her the nasty eye. I’m confused that since she died young, why does she appears so old to everyone but men (a detective saw Moira in the house as young and sexy).

There was also some talk between the two in the present. Moira wished Constance was dead . . . so maybe she isn’t dead? But later Moira said she wished she could get out of this world and see her mother again . . . Constance said she too wanted out of this world of death and rot but they were both stuck here. I couldn’t figure out if Constance was dead or not! She does seem to leave the house, where as others definitely don’t. There was a scene of her walking dogs and looking at Tate standing in the window of the house, but while the realtor could see Connie, she didn’t see the boy.

Vivian was determined to sell the house, but Ben revealed their accountant made bad investments, almost all their cash is tied up in the house . . . of course! Vivian was still determined to sell the house, but at the same time wanted to learn about the history. She took the murder house tour bus to learn about it. We got flashbacks to the original owners, a doctor, his wife and their baby. It was an unhappy marriage, they too sunk too much money into the house and were broke. The wife made the husband start performing abortions for Hollywood starlet wannabes. We learned they performed 12 of them before the real tragedy struck.

Later in the show the wife started to show up and haunt Vivian. Vivian thought initially she was coming to look at the house, never realizing the back of her head is blown off! She kept talking about her baby, and later we saw her sitting by Vivian’s bed as she slept and feeling her baby. We don’t know what became of her husband or child yet, but clearly this is what the creepy beginning is all about.

Ben’s tryst from Boston Hayden showed up crazy as ever, and still pregnant. In the end the burned guy, Larry Harvey killed her! He buried the body in the garden area, which Ben kept digging in for some odd reason. Constance told him the soil was dead, he should put in a patio and a gazebo out there. When Larry finished the grave, he found Moira’s body! We watched Ben build the gazebo on top of them both, and Constance told a crying Moira “Now she’s really stuck here for good!”

I can’t decide if Larry is a ghost or not too. I mean clearly the other ghosts in the house have been able to kill people. But bury them? If Constance is still alive, then that explains how she got rid of the home invader bodies.

Confused!
