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.

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
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:
And this top secret picture from episode 7 only confirms that Sarah is telling the truth. My cold heart is broken.
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…
What a waste of your panties. I don’t get his appeal at all, but he did a great job singing/performing song.
Wait till you see & hear what Ethel sings in next episode. I don’t know how she’s gonna pull it off.
He sounded good, but more like Eddie Vedder doing Kurt Cobain.
I finally watched last week’s episode and I cannot wait for tonight #freaktard. I waited to read your recap until I had watched and it was perfection #gushing. I also caught the hydra reference. Many of Odysseus’ men died trying to kill the hydra. More foreshadowing? #thingsthatmakeyougohmm
Can’t wait for tonight’s recap! Or did I already mention that? #smokedabowl
OMG you’re da best! #Sparky
This is the best way to watch the show #freaksevenfreakier #itsgoodshit
Jimmy sang really well!!!!
Not Ma Petite
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!
I understand not wanting to read the spoilers, but do come back after the show and read and join our discussion here. I’m glad you caught that dvr mistake in time. Mine does evil things like that too.
dont think of them as spoilers, just things to watch out for. UF thanks for the precap.
Agreed!
Aren’t you in Australia? Is the show available there?
Umm…. I download it. Which is why I’m always behind you guys. Don’t tell anyone though shhh!!!
I saw Michael Chiklis interviewed and he says the show terrifies him. UF, thanks for the precap. Love it. Hope that the pix of Del and LaPetite isn’t one of the fake outs.
Love your recaps and precaps. Elsa’s suff film past was creepier than anything I could have imagined using the SS and Nazis.
I agree. That snuff film idea was the worst thing I’ve ever scene on AHS. It wasn’t supernatural creepy, just people creepy and that is worse.
It’s probably the most creepy as it’s somewhat realistic. Videos like that exist. I’ve seen some through my forensic science studies.
Evil/cruel people creepy. Some way in her own time Madam Elsa will get those men. Does give insight into her need to be the star. Don’t you think Taylor would fit in as the amazing duck lipped woman?Keep up the great work. Write a book on pop culture. Your recaps read like a novel
Is it bad I dont feel sorry for/like Elsa? I didn’t think she was meant to be a sympathetic character.
Thank you Fivecats!
I think I’m gonna do this recap differently and write with less narrative. I have some much stuff to do this week. Thankful that next week I get unchained from the radiator, but the downside is another dysfunctional family holiday.
GIRL POWER!!! Love it lol
Although I love AHS, at this moment in time I HATE RYAN MURPHY! This sucks so much.
Yes! Mad at him:(
I said to my family that if Ma Petite was killed, I would stop watching the show. But I cant. I am a freaktard.
I am shocked by what Penny’s dad did to her. I thought he was too overprotective to harm his daughter in that way. Just shocked I say.
Noooo! I’m so jealous. I can’t wait for the torrent! It sounds so good.
Well considering I didn’t watch the show when I wrote the precap, I’m gonna brag that I was right about most of it except for the lack of sex and the Penny storyline #StillShocked
What did you think about Paul’s reaction?
Well he was visibly disturbed & guilt ridden. I’m still in shock.
I am in shock as well. My head is still spinning.
It will be interesting to see if anything else happen with this story line, I hope something happens to Penny’s dad.
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.
OMG Hannah always I adore you, and none of that crossed my mind. And I certainly don’t mind if others have different opinions, theories, expectations, interpretations, etc…. I welcome them actually. I was agreeing w/ you. I was expecting something less shocking from Morris, but when the dad said he was an artist, I realized uh-oh this chick is in trouble. Good nite all. I have busy day recapping tomorrow. xoxo UF
I liked dell bonding with jimmy and then he ended up killing ma petite…4realz. lol I was hoping it was a fantasy but no such luck. And #daddydearest made penny a freak with a forked tongue! wth? no kinky sex with jimmy that I saw…I saw him with Maggie laying on a bed. Did I miss something??
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.
Well Jimmy was laying in bed with Maggie…just no freaky sex scene.
Since they are engaged in real life, Ryan Murphy gave Emma Roberts a pass from being finger blasted on camera.
I can’t believe the polarity in Dell. At the bar with Jimmy, he was actually endearing. Then his sociopathy takes over with Ma Petite. I hope Twisty comes back from the dead and takes him.
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.
Paul may learn to love Penny’s forked tongue. I actually know someone who had that done and the wife raves about it lol. Hell I can’t even curl mine like most people can. Can’t imagine what it would be like to have two different parts but not interested enough to do attempt it. Wonder if any of the women will make any connection between the attack on Amazon Eve and Ma Petite? Hopefully Ethel will figure it out and give Dell what’s coming to him.
Your prediction of the blackmail was on point! I wasn’t sorry to see Ma Petite die. She aggravated me with her squeaky voice and wrapped up in that fucking water bottle. Yes, I went there 🙂
That’s ok. It’s just fiction …and you have cold black heart. 😛 😛
When she was in that canister and acting like a fucking butterfly I said then “God I hope this creepy little bitch dies soon”. So, thank you Ryan Murphy for not subjecting us to a boring hetero scene. I want to see Dell penetrating Dandy. Now please.
….oh my. I too would enjoy that scene. 😀
Michael, I am almost certain that Dandy would absolutely love a big bear like Dell taking him from behind and just pounding the hell out of him.
Ummm…excuse me for a moment…or 15. 😉
Not Ma Petite!!!!!!!!!!
As far as Jimmy singing, “Come as you are” by Nirvana, I think its perfect for the show. I would have liked to see Jimmy sing “Mother” by Danzig. Glenn Danzig was the founder of the band, “The Misfits”. Glenn has often said he feels like a freak and a misfit. The song
Freaktards, I’m not doing a recap for this episode. Really what’s the point? I covered everything in the pre-cap. I’m not feeling 100%.
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?
You will need to officially put in for a sick day. I will also need to know the nature of your illness, and the name of your primary care physician.

After watching a 2nd time I realized that Penny’s dad tattooed scales into her face and turned her into Snake Girl. That forked tongue was so extra though. She’ll for sure fit in the Freak Show for the long term.
I’ve met people with forked tongues. They talk funny and shouldn’t leave the house. I
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.
Great job, as usual, UF!
I just realized that Jimmy sounds like Weird Al doing Kurt Cobain which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I liked Jimmy’s performance. I think Kurt would have dug it #ripkurt #nirvana
How DUMB was Dell to go attack Amazon Eve, the biggest freak, to kill for Stanley. She gave him a serious ass whoopin’.
Then of course he targeted the smallest weakest freak, which really showed what a coward he was.
I hope I can join in the semi official freaktard musical with one of my all time favorite songs, Anastacia’s FREAK OF NATURE. I wore out one CD from just playing it in the car. Had to get a back up.
