American Horror Story: Only One Episode Left!

American Horror Story: Only One Episode Left!

Posted by Dustin on 12.17.2011 at 5:11 pm

So there is only one more “American Horror Story” left in this season. How will it end? After this week’s episode . . . who the hell knows! I am expecting some seriously huge cliff hanger. But really, how can they top all the shocks they’ve delivered so far?

The show opened with a young Tate playing in the basement and being attacked by the demon ghost down there. Nora, the original owner, saved him and explained he could always tell the ghost to go away, and he would. She said it’s name (I forgot it) and it made me suspect that the ghost is
the re-assembled baby of Nora and the Doctor. However it’s a tad big for what was a small infant? With this show, what you think you know NEVER turns out to be reality. Could there have been a deeper history to the land? We know Nora and the Doctor had the house built themselves, so there really can’t be a previous owner/ghost in it. But SOMETHING had to make them both go a little crazy, yes?

As Ben went to get Vivian out of the hospital, Violet found Chad and Patrick (the gays) were decorating a baby room and planning to raise them. She doesn’t know all the other ghosts in the house want the babies too. She called Constance and her psychic friend Billie into help.

Billie immediately realized Violet was dead, but did not spill that secret to a clueless Constance. Billie told them how to do a vanquishing spell, using the old story of the lost colony of Roanoke as inspiration (we’ll ignore that most scientists agree that mystery has been solved). She also told Violet that this house traps spirits within, and seeks to use them. There is an evil here trying to get back into the world of the living . . . . What or who is this evil? Could it predate the house? Again . . . it would make a richer history for Season 2!

Violet and Tate worked to do the spell to banish the gays from the house. When Chad caught on, he told Violet the spell was basically crap and would do nothing. However he would not lay claim to the babies, as he realized his lover Patrick was planning to leave him right before he was killed. He had met someone else. Chad also told her the truth about Tate, that not only did he kill them both, he rapped her mother and is the father of one of her kids.

Violet confronted Tate, screaming and yelling at him. He claimed innocence, why would he do that? She told him because he’s evil, just like how he killed all the kids at school who confronted him on Halloween. He acted as if he had no memory of doing anything wrong, and claimed she was changing him, making him better . . . . I’m beginning to think whatever the evil is, it used Tate all along, possibly possessing him. All the other ghosts clearly remember what they did, but not Tate.

At this point Ben arrived with Vivian. She refused to go into the house, she wanted to get Violet and just leave. Unfortunately she then went into labor, and Constance DRAGGED her into the house because there was no time. As Violet was trying to explain to her father that she’s dead and can never leave, Vivian went into labor. The doctor’s ghosts and the dead nurses showed up to deliver the babies, as both Ben and Vivian were horrified. Everything sunk into Ben, that everyone in the house is dead, even his daughter.

Vivian began to bleed out. Her first baby, we presume Ben’s, was stillborn. When the second one came, Constance grabbed it and whisked it off. Vivian then died, and we saw her join Violet with her unborn child. They had a bonding moment, as they realized their unfortunate fates in this house.

Jeeeeeezzzzzzzzeeeeee! What more can this show do to us? Ben known knows his daughter, wife and unborn child are dead and stuck in this house, while the demon child lives. Will he stay? Will he go? Will he DIE? I suspect the cliff hanger will have us wondering whether Ben is alive or dead, or will leave him on the brink of death.

I’m not sure where Season 2 will go. I had originally suspected the only way to do a Season 2 would be to kill this family, make them ghosts, and have new people move in. I mean why would they want to stay in this house? However Violet’s death made me think that’s why they wouldn’t leave . . . but now Vivian and one of the kids are dead too. I just don’t know. I expect to be shocked, shaken, and probably pissed come the end of next week.
