American Horror Story: Freak Show Episode 7, Test of Strength (Precap)

AHS FREAK Dell Stanley top shot

By: Urethra Franklin

Warning Freaktards: MAJOR SPOILERS

WOW tonight’s episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show is going to be good & bad with violence, music, sex, and heartbreaking DEATH!  Really I should just STFU right now, but I need TT to loosen up my damn chain. #SorryNotSorry

Last week Jimmy showed up at the Mott mansion determined to find and rescue the Tattler twins. One thing for sure it will be a strange encounter for Jimmy, but it will also raise suspicions about Dandy.

It’s obvious from the episode trailer that twins return to the Freak Show. This means nothing but trouble for Elsa since her freaks are already looking at her with mistrust and some side eye. Will the twins tell everyone the truth about Elsa & their disappearance? Or do they use it as leverage against Elsa for blackmail? And take a guess which twin has some #BlondeAmbition.

Click through to find out!

AHS FREAK Two heads

In the promo we see Dell at the gay bar again. Too bad his hooker boy toy is not there to blow him anymore because it only fuels his anger management problem. Later we see Stanley talking to Dell back at the camp, and Dell is wearing the same shirt.

Here is MY THEORY on what is happening between these two, and Dell is NOT checking out Stan’s big dick. I think Stanley spotted Dell at the bar, and will blackmail him to do his dirty work to help him kill some freaks. Dell will do anything to hide his “down low” gay secrets, and this makes the Strong Man extremely dangerous to MORE than one freak. Let’s pray our beloved freak fights like a man. #AmazonEve

AHS Dell strangles Eve

Does Paul survive from his knife wound caused by his betrayed lover Elsa? What about his other lover, young Penny? She tells her overprotective father that she is in love with Paul and plans to be with him. What does her creepy father mean when he says “I invited my friend to give you a proper send off?” This friend is another tattooed freak, but scarier than hell and not nearly as handsome as Paul. I would laugh my ass off if he turned out to be some Jesus freak. Remember, in AHS:Freak Show, you can’t judge a book by its cover. #Pray4Penny

Desiree experiences some disappointment when her doctor is unable to follow through with his offer for her tit & clit reduction, and she is gonna be a 100% woman #scorned.

Something that I haven’t been able to confirm, but my spoiler source is teasing that tonight’s the night that some freaky sexy times goes down between Jimmy & _________.  Is it with Maggie? Or is it with Bette’s half of her vagina? Or do they go all the way and do a 3-way like last year’s Coven. If this happens, I can’t wait to see Bette’s #O-Face.

For those of you Freaktards that are open minded enough to appreciate & love the anachronistic musical performances, tonight will please you. Jimmy sings Nirvana’s classic “Come As You Are,” and you can listen to it right here #First.

I know Kurt Cobain is rolling over in his grave about this, but Ryan Murphy explained to EW: “We decided we only were going to highlight musical artists who at some point in their career had identified themselves as feeling like freaks or misfits or outcasts, which our people are going through.”

I hate to end this blog this way but you all might forgive Sarah Paulson more than me with her own words in this tweet:

AHS Tweet Warning

And this top secret picture from episode 7 only confirms that Sarah is telling the truth. My cold heart is broken.

AHS Dell Ma Petite

 

Watch AHS:Freak Show Episode 7 titled “Test of Strength” tonight on FX at 10ET. It runs for 65 minutes so set extra time on your dvr… I expect your freak-outs to be MAJOR tonight. So just get it out of your system in the comments section below. Check back here later for my recap. You can stalk me like TT does at @Urethra_F

    What do you all think of the song & Jimmy’s voice? I’ve listened to Nirvana’s song a thousand times in my life, and I swear when I first heard this I thought it was Kurt Cobain’s voice.

      I was caught off guard. I watch AHS with my hubby. As soon as I heard the rift I pulled off my panties and tossed them at Jimmy’s fine ass on the T.V.

      Of course, I only did this in my mind…

    So glad you do these precaps that I never miss. Besides heightening my anticipation, it prompted me to check my DVR. For some odd reason the show got omitted from my line up. I’d have been devastated!

    No spoilers for me here, my brain is on a different track today, I guess. All to cryptic for me, the show sounds full of surprises with a dreadful ending. Yes, Cobain reincarnated!

      UF when I saw that the guy her father brought in was tattooed, I knew immediately what her “send off” was going to be. It seemed pretty predictable to me. Back in the 50’s only carnies and military people had tattoos. I know Penny has to be devastated by what her father had done to her, but at least she has a lover who will embrace her and love her despite the fact that her father has made her a “freak” to the rest of the world. At least he wasn’t able to accomplish one of the things he wanted which I would imagine would be to destroy her bond with Paul as Paul blames himself.

        Well I didn’t know for sure who Morris was until he said “artist”, and then I knew, but I did not expect that level of “artistry”. I thought Morris might be some born again bible thumper that forces her into marriage or something.

        Oh well I can’t get it right all the time when I have to play detective to try to figure out what is happening. But it was still an American Horror Story.

        Oh no UF. Was not in the least implying that I knew something you didn’t. I bow to my supreme lol. Just after seeing the guy introduced to the scene I figured out what was going to happen to Penny. You are an awesome pre and recapper of AHS. I love your insight and thought provoking blogs. Your spoilers make me look for things I’m know I would miss without them. Please do not think that I of all people who happen to be one of your biggest fans would ever say I had a better grasp of what is happening on AHS than you. If I have given you that impression, feel free to make me bite the head off of a chicken or something equally as gross. I think it was probably the fact that they killed off Ma Petite that caused my lapse in judgement.

      No you didn’t miss anything. There was no kinky sex that we saw, but I suppose it was implied that Maggie & Jimmy had sex. But I’m certainly hoping/expecting something to go down between him & the twins.

      You see I don’t watch the show before I write my precaps. I have to play detective and piece together various pieces of information to get an idea of what is happening so I can tell y’all about it. Sometimes I misinterpret the vague clues that I stumble on.

      I hate it when I’m wrong, but if you read again I wrote— ” Something that I haven’t been able to confirm, but my spoiler source is teasing that tonight’s the night that some freaky sexy times goes down between Jimmy & _________. ” So it was kinda right, but I had to take it to another level because it is a Ryan Murphy production.

    Penny’s Dad used the excuse that her running away with a freak would shame him. After all, he is a respected, trustworthy electrician. I hope Penny and Paul parade themselves through his town and show his customers what he did to her.

    I want REVENGE for Penny and Ma Petite. I hope they make a nearly snuff movie of Dell having a gay old time. I don’t want him to die, unless it is from self loathing. Jimmy was better off not knowing his dad is a murdering coward, he is probably going to be the one to kill Dell.

Can’t imagine what it would be like to have two different parts but not interested enough to do attempt it.

    So over the next few days I’m gonna drop comments in here that I would have used in my recap to keep the discussion & the views active for TT.

    I was very confused by Dell’s fast switching personalities. First he doesn’t claim his son, then he wants to kill his son, then he loves his son, then he wants to kill him again, then he loves him again. WTF kind of novella shit is this?

    Did Ethel’s/Desiree’s Doctor really kill himself or did Dell kill him? We saw that Dell broke his hands. The Doc’s daughter said he killed himself after smashing his own hands. How could he shoot a gun if his hands were smashed? Something is off about that.

    And if he did shoot himself why? All he had to do was never operate on Desiree. I thought he was going to be some sort of savior after the respectful/professional way dealt with his freak patients.

      Maybe he couldn’t live with the idea of never operating on a patient again? It’s a weak theory though as you would think that even with messed up hands he can still diagnose and medicate his patients.

    Do we know for sure it was Jimmy’s real voice, or are we just guessing? I think Evan Peters has really grown as an actor and the scene with him crying/yelling at his dad to admit who he was, almost had me in tears. The show is great. But……. how do you get your juicy spoilers?

      It’s Evan Peters’ voice with some “studio help” too most likely. I also think he has done some other singing stuff for fun in his personal life. But I wouldn’t exactly call growling a Nirvana song singing. It’s just performing. This song is also on iTunes and it lists Evan as the singer.

      How do I get my spoilers? Are you with the Ryan Murphy mafia? Well my answer– weekly Freaktard meetings.

    Then of course he targeted the smallest weakest freak, which really showed what a coward he was.
