In Sister Christian’s room, some random guard comes in to inform her that Lana has gone missing. She was out of Scooby Snacks and ran to the store. Then, THEN Sister Christian gives another beautiful monologue about her childhood. I almost felt sorry for her. Almost. Give her all the Emmy’s!

 

Shut up and take the award! 

Sister Christian packs up her things and heads out. She no longer is a nun. Scenes of her going to a bar are intertwined with Dr. Sleazebag performing a frontal lobotomy on Charlotte while her husband watches. WHAT. He just stood there and watched him hammer into her skull? I can’t even.

Lana and Dr. Thredson arrive at his house. Cue dramatic music. Lana wants to go home but Dr. Thredson says no, that that’s the first place they’ll look. RUN LANA. Dr. Thredson goes to get them some glasses of wine and Lana thinks it’s a good idea to use the phone. She picks it up and then there are fingers on the receiver. Thredson says that’s a no no.

They have a seat on the couch and we see a lamp. It’s made of skin. Thredson got it at Bed bath and body. Homie also needs to head over to AC Moore and take some sewing classes. Get it together.

He then hands her a bowl of mints and I was just appalled. First off, that lamp totally clashes with the rest of the theme of the house. Second, MINTS AND WINE?? One of these things just doesn’t belong here. Keep it classy you two.

Sherlock Lana starts to become suspicious and excuses herself to find the ladies room. Good idea, always split up. She stumbles upon Dr. Thredson’s “craft room” and by craft room, I mean that DR. THREDSON IS BLOODY FACE. I REPEAT, DR. THREDSON IS BLOODY FACE.

Fun Facts and history lesson. I believe that Bloody face is loosely based off of a serial killer Ed Gein. Leatherface is also based off of him. He started in the ’50’s by digging up bodies and using them. When police found his house they found bones and things made out of the bodies.

Dr. Thredson finds Lana in the craft room and becomes really sinister. He drops her through the trap door and I was squealing in my seat. I was really hoping that they’d shout surprise and Beyonce would suddenly appear and perform a riveting musical number complete with choreography. Ryan Murphy writes this show after all. Make it happen. Beyonce and dancing. These are a few of my favorite things.

Lana wakes up in the Saw style bathroom and she discovers Wendy. Ew. Dr. Thredson appears and asks her if she wants to play a game. They’re going to continue their therapy by kissing Wendy’s body. WHAT!

Kitty Kit goes up to Gracie Lou to see if she ever got her sash and crown, but sees that she is bleeding from her hoo ha. She tells him that Alma is still alive just as the PO PO arrive to take him away.

We shoot back to Charlotte and her husband at their house. Charlotte looks like a stepford wife. She has a box of her old Nazi clippings and her husband asks if it is trash. The camera zooms into one clipping left showing Dr. Arden standing behind what I guess is Hitler. And that’s it for this week.

This place is a lot nicer than Auschwitz.

 

So what did everyone think? Was this a totally twisted episode? Was there any doubt about Dr. Thredson being Bloody Face? What’s up with this Charlotte chick?

I love hearing y’all’s comments! Keep it up!

Until next week!

    This was a great ep!!! TOTALLY did not see the Dr. being “Bloody Face” but as soon as they got to his apt, I was like “homeboy is the killer”. He is so freakin’ cuhhhhhhhhreepy. But what I wanna know is: Is he also 2012 Bloody Face, and if not, who is?!?!

    Kinda disappointed the Anne Frank thing might not be real….but I dont want to give up on it yet because it seems the investigator Sister Jude visited found some dirt on him. I also wonder if her lobotomy worked, or if she is just faking it.

    Speaking of Sister Jude, LOVE HER, Love Jessica Lange. She is amazing, and I give total props to her and Ryan Murphy for giving her these amazing roles.

    I was excited to see this show was being recapped…. however this season has more of “make me beyond uncomfortable” factor than the last.

    I think there is some truth to Charlotte’s story, and Arden knew it. He lobotomized her to make her forget, but I think something is going to backfire and we’ll see her again.

    Maybe Thredson will keep Lana alive so she can write his story?

    I normally don’t approve of mints with wine – but when the mints are served in a skull bowl I make an exception.
    Jessica Lange is my spirit animal.

    @ Miss Molly….I DO like the skull mint dish. I wonder if Martha Stewart has some tips on how to make one?
    The nipple lampshade though, ehhhhhhhh….I’ll pass.

    Oh I knew something was up with Skylar. He was just too “normal” for the show…. and when he had Tate (I really should learn his name THIS season) “confess” on tape, it was going to be his undoing.

    Jessica is the only reason I watch.

    This was an awesome episode, probably the best one of the season so far.

    I figured Threadson was Bloody Face when the guard met him at his car and he said something to the guard about never working there to begin with.

    Poor Grace! And Kit!

    I was watching some scenes from between my fingers, too! Particularly the lobotomy and when Lana was in Thredson’s house. I knew he was BF and I knew she was in for it, bad. Poor Lana. Do we know that Wendy is even dead? I really hope so, but I have a horrible feeling she’s not…and Lana is going to be witness to Thredson’s “work”. I think he really does want her to tell his story.

    This is the first time since the possession episode that I watched the show without reading the EW recap first. I usually can’t stand not knowing what’s coming cause I get too scared, but I couldn’t wait to find out. I was not disappointed. This episode definitely put the “horror” in AHS.

    KJN – Threadson basically told Lana that Wendy was dead. He said something about how he kept her body frozen until he could get Lana to his house b/c normally he would’ve skinned her already.

    How did I end up being the delicate flower in this group!!!! I was absolutely horrified . . . I can’t stand the thought of what’s going to happen to Lana . . . and I’ve seen plenty of horror in my day! It’s just women brutalized over and over on this thing . . . ugh!

    I’m with Ya AshSmash on your hating of Dr. T . . . OMG, I hate him so much . . . total transformation from Babe’s Farmer! He probably deserves an award too!

    I dunno, I’m not sure if I missed something or what, but how is it that Kit is being blamed for skinning his wife and being BF!? Was she not taken by aliens? Is she not that horrid, horrid lamp shade? Was she on the UFO? Did they sterilize Grace? I mean, WTF! Good luck making this all make sense, and I’m not even talking about future BF . . . who could be anyone . . . .

    I was also disappointed in Anne’s story . . . but no matter what her story is, Gruber seems to be a fact. I want the sister to nail him so hard!

    Gotta love that shade of lip stick! . . . Go Jude!

    Either way, alive or dead, Lana’s going to be part of something truly horrendous that’s going to happen to Wendy. *shudder*

    @juddfan I agree with you about Lana. It makes me feel sick, too. Especially cause he has someone she loves, which to me is so much worse than if it was just myself (which of course would be bad enough!). But, I have to see how it all ties together and if (I hope) she somehow survives. I hope the end to all this isn’t TOO bleak. I really hope at least some of the nasties get theirs in the end.

    agreed, KJN! Poor Lana . . . in answer to the title, I don’t think Lana is ok . . . nor will she be!

    Kit could be cleared tho, if BF keeps killing, and why arrest him again, isn’t he already arrested!?

    Maybe Alma will come back, that would be nice.

    I’m afraid that it won’t end well for Lana, either. I just hope someone (maybe Jude?), somehow brings down/gets revenge on at least a couple of these heinous men. I like my horror stories to have a hero, lol.

    I’m also holding out hope for Alma. Actually, for Kit and Alma together.

    I really hope Alma is pregnant by Kit, and not an alien.

    The fact that Threadson isn’t a doctor, makes the things he did to Lana in “therapy” that much more creepy…and the fact he is a serial killer that wears a skin mask.

    @Pillania That’s what I was thinking about Anne/Charlotte. Also BF told Lana he wanted her to write his story.

    @Plockness….RIGHT??? I hope Alma’s not pregnant by an alien, but I have a feeling she is! Grace too.

    I thought there was something off about Dr. Thredson this whole time….Kept telling Mr. Yeknom that he was the serial killer and was gonna put Kit in jail/asylum so he could keep killing. Poor, poor Lana.

    And poor Shelly. And those poor kids that saw her!!

    And what was UP with Anne/Charlotte’s husband watching her get a lobotomy?? (Told Mr. Yeknom he’d better not sit there watching me get lobotomized like that ass did!)

    This show is so good. When it’s over I cant wait for the new episode. So. Good.

    And just in case I havent’ said it before…..I love Jessica Lange. Love. Her.
