Warning: Spoilers below, but I don’t name names.
Welcome back Freaktards! Though it was only a one week break from AHS, it felt longer to me. That’s probably due to the fact that I didn’t recap episode 7, which is the first time I hadn’t recapped an episode for y’all since I started. I am truly sorry about that, but aside from it being the most boring episode to date, my real life has been hectic… But don’t worry because TT upgraded her intern control system, and my new shock collar is really not that bad after I got used to the pain. #911
In the last episode, the twins returned to the Freak Show and blackmailed the shit out of Fiona. It was great watching them assert themselves for money, makeovers, & surgery. Stanley also blackmailed Dell to provide him with some dead freaks. It was satisfying the way Amazon Eve opened up a big can of whoop-ass on Dell after he stupidly tried to kill her first. The drunken bonding scenes with Dell & Lobster boy bored me so much that I used the fast forward button which is something I NEVER do when I watch AHS. Is there anything more delicious than watching an angry Desiree in her morning robe, head scarf, and dark sunglasses yelling at Dell & Jimmy? There has been some criticism that Freak Show is lacking horror after Twisty died. Well I think Penny’s dad drugging her, forking her tongue, and tattooing her face into the Lizard Lady is horrific beyond comprehension. Ethel overhead Stanley & Elsa talk about the twins and options about their fate. At the end our hearts broke when Dell lured Ma Petite with a pretty princess dress, and then crushed her head as she embraced him for a thank you. #Recap
What’s going to happen in tonight’s American Horror Story: Freak Show episode? I am really holding back with specifics, but I’ve discovered some spoilers, and IF they are true tonight is going to be a freaking crazy show with a high death count. Regina Ross (Gabourey Sidibe) arrives at the Mott mansion looking for her mother. Gloria is so frazzled she needs to smoke. Gloria smokes? It ends up with Gloria going full on gangsta when she pulls a gun out on Regina. What happens next is not good, and you may be screaming out to the heavens when the show is over. #Balenciaga
Penny confronts her father with some freaky back up. What happens with her dad is so freaking good. Hell hath no fury like women scorned, AND birds of a feather flock together. #GirlPower
Tonight a new freak is introduced, Ima the fat lady. I would LMAO if her last name is Hogg. Jimmy goes off searching the woods after finding out that Dandy claimed he killed Twisty. What does he find? Also there will be another funeral tonight, but for whom? Does Paul finally die from Elsa’s knife wound? Or is it one of tonight’s victims?
Ethel confronts Elsa about the disappearing freaks, and nothing good comes out of that. People will die tonight, for REAL! A MAJOR character or two will end up dead. Dandy might kill again tonight, but he is not the only killer in tonight’s show. If my sources are correct, others commit murders that are NOT named Dell or Stanley. Also my source tweeted and then deleted that Danny Huston (the Axeman from Coven) might appear in this episode as well. I don’t think this will happen, but if it’s true you read it here #First.
The biggest teaser of the night is that Finn Wittrock said in interview that Dandy is part of a big twist at the end of tonight’s show. When I see the word “twist” about a twist on a show like AHS, how can I not think about Twisty? My imagination is running wild right now. Just sayin’.
Tonight’s American Horror Story: Freak Show Episode 8 is titled Blood Bath, and it is 66 minutes long on FX at 10 ET. I’m telling you tonight’s episode will be EPIC, and I want to talk with y’all in the comments below. Check back here later for my recap. You can stalk me on twitter like Penny seeking revenge @Urethra_F
Haven’t read your spoilers UF but can not wait for tonight’s episode…it seems ages since the last!
How can you resist reading my spoilers that I worked so hard to get? I have been cyber-stalking my sources for 3 days. Just promise to come back here once you’ve seen the show. It is going to be EPIC tonight.
Oh I most certainly read your spoilers. I live for them. It’s much more fun to read and discuss with the freaktards than to do my own cybersluthing #lazyashell #smoked a bowl #poppedaklonie #readyforthemadness
Feeling good huh?
Oh my fuck that was good.
I’ll wait for the recap to discuss, but wow. That made up for the last episode.
I know a lot of people were supposed to die in this episode. But did UF?

No TT, I’m not dead!
Thank Goodness… I am not used to the new shock restraints and still working on your levels. 🙂

I HATE having to get in the DVR controls to make sure that it records the extra six minutes (I set it to record an extra 30 mins so I can catch next weeks previews). It means doing a balancing act with other recordings!
The struggle is real! Honestly all these hour plus shows are just padded with commercials anyway. It is so frustrating. Enjoy the show!
Also Jacque the previews that you see at the end of each episode are always posted on YouTube.
I will be watching with you, Ms. Franklin!
What happened to Dot and Bette?
Ethel told Elsa that she took them somewhere safe so that Elsa wouldn’t harm them.
That was a great episode.
Two dead characters is NOT a high body count. I’m tired of Ryan Murphy’s exaggerations. I suppose I should expect it and be used to it by now.
I am annoyed by the previews for episode 8 that aired after episode 7 two weeks ago. Clearly it showed Gloria holding a gun aimed at Regina with her right hand while carrying a bowl of berries in her left.
That scene was NO where in this episode. Another fake out with “faux-loirs”, and this aggravates the hell out of me because it makes me feel stupid to write about a scene that never was. Unless that scene is used next week for some fantasy sequence. Who knows, but DAYUM Dandy for what you did to your mama! Is that suppose to be the big twist that involved Dandy? That doesn’t seem like a twist to me, just a plot development.
I liked this episode, too.
I was trying to keep the secret about Hannah’s son, but I knew y’all would want to support her and she needs us right now.
Sorry for the major interruption in the comments UF, but I knew you would wonder where she was.

Oh no…I missed this news, TT. If there is any way I can help, please let me know.
Thanks for keeping me & us Freaktards in the loop about Hannah. She is a favorite here to many. My heart is heavy for Hannah & her son, and I hate the uncomfortable coincidence that I have to recap Elsa’s flashback from this episode.
Did they have to name the fat lady Barbara? Thanks alot!!!
That fat lady, Ima Wiggles, wasn’t even that fat. I could tell she was in a fat suit for her side way shots.
And surprise surprise…. Danny Huston (the Axeman) was indeed in this episode after all. I don’t know why his appearance wasn’t promoted in advance for being on the show. But YAY I love that my source for spoilers is right!
Who do you think was/is playing the doctor?
You mean the psychiatrist?
I wonder that too. They shot the scenes anonymously like Charlie in Charlie’s Angels. He’s just a voice. But I have a feeling that there will be some big reveal about the shrink. At first I thought it might be Danny Huston (the Axeman), but instead we saw him as Fiona’s doctors that made her prosthetics. Is it possible he became a psychiatrist too?
I’m just gonna keep talking to myself….
It was a literal blood bath and not a metaphorical one. #Hmmm
U-rethra! I was waiting for the other freaktards to watch before discussing that very thing.
I am rather impressed with Ryan Murphy’s attention to the geographic details of S FL – you would have had to drive through the Gables to get to Homestead.
Yes well the writers can be a hit or miss with the details. But they were pretty specific about the area. It was funny how Elsa compared being in Tampa to being dead. Florida gets no respect, even in 1952. #LOL
I’d tell you not to bag on Florida but well, Florida.
I certainly did not mean I haven’t read ur spoilers UF, I just had not read tonight’s (intentionally)…and for good reason!!! Just watched the ep and loved (loved, loved) the dandy/momma thing! Gabourey coming back for her momma, and Ma Petite/Elsa mommy thing…Oy! thematic much?
love it!
Yes there was a lot of the mommie theme thing going on tonight.
So um, y’all know I am too squeamish for this show, and I should probably not mention anything at all…
But a fellow Freaktard, Hannah, has been going through a very difficult thing lately and if y’all have any sort of spirituality sort of prayers or positive energy or whatever to spare… she could use them.
I’m not really down with God that much anymore, but I do like to ask for people who are to keep my friends in mind. Especially Hannah. Thanks.
I absolutely adore Hannah, and I have nothing but love, positive thoughts, and prayers for her.
prayers and positive energy to Hannah
Since I don’t post as much as Hannah, I’m sure she has no idea who I am, but I am sending my love and all the positvity I can. From reading her comments she’s a standout to me and she seems amazing. Praying for the best for her.
I tried to reply and I don’t know what happened to it. Anyway I’ll try again. Thanks TT, UF and any other of my Freaktard buddies who send well wishes, prayers or positive thoughts to my family and me. It’s been a couple of horrible days for us. I think this is rather an appropriate place to discuss what happened actually. On Monday, my son Blake was injured in a freakish accident by his best friend. He was in front of his friend’s car and it started rolling. Blake’s friend jumped back into the car to hit the brake. His foot slipped off and hit the gas. The car crushed Blake’s leg between the car and the convenience store building. The car hit so hard it actually cracked the outside wall. He had surgery that night to try to repair it but it didn’t work so today they had to amputate my son’s leg above the knee. He’s in a tremendous amount of pain and I’m having to stay strong for him but my heart is breaking. I am angry and mad as Hell and want to break things and hurt something and make it feel as bad as he and I do. I know that’s not the correct attitude to have but I can’t help it. I want all my freaktards to know that I do feel comfortable telling you about my baby and for that I am grateful. Thank you for making me feel good that you care and especially TT for going Off Topic. She’s a good friend. I know, I know Tamara. I blew your cover. Sorry/Not Sorry. If the other post shows up, can you delete it?
oh Hannah. I’m so sorry.
Go break shit. Scream. Be mad. There is no right or wrong attitude to have when something chaotic and catostrophic and life changing happens. Come here. Fall apart. We’ll catch you.
I could be trite and cliched and say the shit people say when they don’t know what to say, but I wont. It’s heart wrenching and it sucks and I hope for the best for you and your son.
Life is so unfair and shitty. I am praying for you and your family.
Oh Hannah I thought TT was trying to tell us that you had a health setback. I did not realize it was about your son. Yes of course its understandable if you want to lash out. No mother wants to see her child suffer and experience such a life changing trauma. Love & well wishes, or get better wishes to your son & family from me and all your buddies here. xoxo UF
Prayed just now for healing and comfort. I can’t imagine.
Hannah, I’m so very sorry for all the pain you are feeling & for what your family is going through.
I understand what you are going through, my husband is an amputee, not my child of course…different, but if you need ANY support feel free to ask because I know how it feels. Be strong for him. VERY STRONG. He will need that…all the support & strength you can find inside and just when you think you are cracking, dig deep and find some more. It takes a while to transition back to “life” & he will need as much “normal” as possible. If I can offer some insight from all the research & help I received-these things can leave psychological wounds once the physical wounds heal. Look out for those & be as loving as possible…again if you ever have any questions or need support, please feel free to ask.
Oh my Hannah, my heart breaks for you and your son. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your son.
Hannah,
My heart is breaking for you and your family. You will make it through this. Feel what you need to feel, and break what you need to break. Your family will survive and will be stronger because of it.
Many hugs to you.
b.
P.S. – Urethra and Tamara, I’ve lurked for a long time and really enjoy your insight and wit. I only came out of the shadows for Hannah. Thanks for the entertainment. *crawling back into my corner*
Thank you Bsmith for the compliments. A new AHS recap was just posted so please crawl out and join the freaktard discussion.
Oh no. Of course, love and prayers. Hannah, you have my email address, feel free to write to me if you need to talk. I’m here for you, hon.
will do
Oh ya, the Axeman played Dr. Mossimo! Am I right?
Yes it Massimo!
OMG you must tell us the inspiration for your name…. Is it RHOBH inspired?
Yes a little, I am a Lisa fan and love her last name. However my zip code is 90212 so clearly I can’t compete with them ladies. Only mentioning that because of Taylor’s tag line “I fought too hard to get into this zip code”.!
Dear Hannah..If I could take the pain away…I most certainly would. Life deals us some ugly shit sometimes. Hang in there girl. Some wounds can’t be healed with time, But it will become more bearable. I promise.
UF, life made me miss this episode so i am REALLY looking forward to your recap later to stay caught up.
I will start writing my recap in a few minutes. Just check back here. It was a great episode. Hope you can record it when it repeats.
I am a hardcore fan of this show but I feel that something is amiss at the Circle K regarding this episode. I’m ticked that Ethel literally hit the dust AND by Elsa’s hand.
And what about that last scene of Dandy bathed in blood? It looked liked strawberry kool aid to me. I am just not happy with the amount of actors, number of story lines, and weak excuses for a high body count. The show to me right now is unorganized and unfocused. Is there a hero? The only one to root for is Ma Petite but oh yeah, Dell crushed her and the show jumped the shark.
I’ll watch to the end because I need a conclusion but now I understand why people around me and on other sites say this season is too much and have stopped watching.
What a waste of Danny Houston…he needs to come back. He and Jessica Lange have serious on screen chemistry.
Is there really only one more episode? It feels like there are too many loose ends or possible story lines to wrap up satisfactorily in 1 hour. It would be different if this were the normal kind of series that has a format of continuation.
No. There are more shows airing until the end of January with a Christmas break in between. There are 13 shows in total, but only 8 have aired so far. More freaks are coming. Stay tuned.
Oh, crap. No AHS OR Walking Dead for a few months? How will I survive?
I thought that the voice of the psychiatrist could have been the actor who played Twisty the clown? Hope I got that name right. Good episode and great pre-cap. Did not see one of the two deaths coming though.
I expect that there will be some big reveal about identity of the therapist. On twitter someone said it sounded like the guy who played Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs. That’s crazy right?
Thanks for reading and check back here tomorrow for my recap if you want.
Hey there UF just wanted to say thanks for all your awesome AHS recaps! I’m a long time lurking freaktard and totally enjoy your posts every week, and your Twitter love how detailed you are and quite funny too. Just love this show! Thanks for tolerating those chains and the radiator and all! Lol!
Thank you Melza… I’m always pleased when a long time lurker finally comes out of the shadows to be nice to me. I need the love after being slapped around all day by TT. Thanks for reading, and a NEW AHS recap was just posted for Bloodbath. Enjoy!
Hannah I am so sorry your family is going through this. It’s completely understandable to feel the way you do. Being strong doesn’t mean you never break down (or break things) it means you get back up after and get back in the fight. I will keep your family in my prayers.
Sorry for being off topic..but I find it hard to wrap my head around the same guy who does AHS is also the one who created Glee ( don’t judge..ahem..my kids love Glee)
I still think Ryan Murphy’s Nip/Tuck series is the wildest show he’s done. That show jumped the shark weekly. It was crazy….
