Warning: Spoilers & Spoiler pictures below
Thank you Freaktards for all the well wishes & health tips you gave me last week. I’m feeling better, but I really need some sunshine. It’s been ELEVEN days without it, and NO I’m not in prison. It’s just a gloomy winter, and I need the sun to raise my energy level instead of eating boxes of age inappropriate sugary cereal. I think I’m in the early stages of some seasonal affective disorder because I’m not excited about AHS:FreakShow anymore, though I’m committed to watch until next weeks END, but I’m so over t. These last 2 episodes better bring it!
The synopsis for tonight’s episode “Show Stoppers”: Dandy gives the Twins troubling information about Chester. Maggie vows to prove her loyalty to Jimmy. The Freaks enforce their harsh code of justice.
Last week Desiree grilled Dell about killing his own kind which goes against the code within the freak community. That led Elsa to swiftly enforce justice for Ma Petite by killing Dell. What happens when the rest of the freaks find out the truth about Stanley & Dell? Do the freaks seek out justice by killing Stanley for what he did to Jimmy? Remember how they butchered that cop in episode 2 when he tried to arrest the Twins? Will they cut off his big dick & sell it to the Morbidity Museum? Are we gonna see it submerged in a jar next to Jimmy’s claws? I doubt it though it’s fun to speculate, but Stanley’s demise could happen soon.
My spoiler source has posted some pics & videos that I will share with you. I saw a short clip of Amazon Eve ominously telling Jimmy that “Elsa’s next, tonight.” I think Jimmy & the freaks find out that Elsa killed Dell, and now they have to enforce justice for him. This only makes sense if the freaks do not know that Dell killed Ma Petite, or unless some other heinous revelation about Elsa comes to light.
Now that Maggie told Elsa the truth about Stanley’s murder plots & plans, what about her Hollywood prospects? In a flash forward we saw Elsa on the cover of Time magazine, but surely Stanley is not responsible for that since he was scamming her. I suspect that Elsa will leave for Hollywood to chase her dreams & find happiness, but I don’t think she’ll go alone.
I saw a spoiler scene with Massimo Dolcefino, the Italian prop master that crafted Elsa’s prosthetics after he saved her life. He arrives to the Freak Show camp with soft romantic music playing. Elsa is emotional as she slowly approaches him. Maybe they fall in love and run away to Hollywood together and live somewhere happily, but without knotty pines like their hellish fate in Coven.
I don’t know if Massimo’s visit is a coincidence or whether Elsa summoned him to help Jimmy since his hands have been cut off. In the promo we saw a scene of Massimo carrying a small axe, or is that a hammer? I can’t really tell, but the obvious nod to his Axeman character in Coven annoys me. It could be a flashback scene in Germany. According to the cast list on the AHS IDMB page, there is an actor listed as Watcher #1. In episode 4, the Watchers were Elsa’s voyeuristic dominatrix clients and the ones responsible for buzzing off her legs in the snuff film.
Here is a spoiler photo of Jimmy with new lobster claws that appear to have an artificial texture to them. Fantasy sequence or real? If real, it’s interesting that Jimmy did not replace them with the forms of healthy hands. I suppose it makes sense since lobster claws were his identity, plus they were his money maker in his finger banging business. So what about his girlfriend Maggie? Maggie tries to prove her to loyalty to Jimmy after the revelations about her past.
Chester has been ordered by Marjorie, the puppet that he hallucinates to life, to saw the Twins in half. His psychosis & twisted parallel reality can only be bad news for Maggie who ends up in his magic box of terror. This is the 2nd time this season that Maggie has been in that situation. In episode 4 Dandy tried to saw her in half in the woods. Chester’s saw trick scene seems all too complicated to predict without seeing it in full because of all the crazy in his head.
Could this mean that Maggie will die after trying to make amends with Jimmy? If so does that mean we can add Chester to the list of characters that could be on the receiving end of justice from the freaks? So tonight Stanley, Maggie, or Chester could possibly DIE. Below is a gruesome spoiler pic of the magic box with a freshly sawed body in it. Fantasy or real?
Dandy knows the truth that Chester is on the run for murdering his wife & her lover. After he found out that the Twins had sex with Chester, Dandy is determined to turn them against him by telling them “Your Chester is an absolutely beastly sicko.” With proof in hand he tries to win the Twins’ back, but in the promo it seems they don’t believe him. Here’s another spoiler pic of the Twins topless & riding some dick. The backdrop is the same scene where Dandy was talking with them, but I don’t think they would fuck Dandy. To me it looks like Doogie Howser’s bony hands grabbing their ass, unless the Twins have gone full on nymphomania and are screwing some else.
Watch episode 12 of AHS:FreakShow tonight on FX at 10 ET, and it is 65 minutes long so make sure your dvr is set for extra time. I will not be recapping this episode, so I will be dropping all my thoughts in the comments below. See ya’ll there. You can stalk me like Chester looking for his doll @Urethra_F .
Well that was a lot of stuff resolved in just one episode. So the only point in Chester coming to the Freak Show was to get Maggie killed? What other purpose did he serve? Oh yeah he took the Twins’ V-card & we got to see their “double O” face.
since both the actors NPH and SP were gay….it wasn’t believable but still fun to watch!! I so wanted that two headed freak laid!!
Hilarious!
I was shocked to see that the Freaks Meepified Stanley. That was ironic justice to turn him into a Freak.
I LOVE it when I don’t see something coming. That was sweet sweet revenge with extra honey on the side. He totally had that coming. It was also give me nightmares.
That made me laugh so hard. The best part of the episode.
What a great word: Meepified. Not sure where I can use it in conversation though.
Did anyone think that Dr. Grouper, one of the Watchers that Massimo killed, looked very much like a young Dr. Arden, the Nazi doctor from AHS:Asylum? For a moment I thought it was another AHS connection between S2 & S4.
HonNay, you must really be over Freakshow cuz yes, that was a MAJOR connection between season 2 and this one. That was John Cromwell, James Crowell’s son, as a young Dr. Gruber in GERMANY who becomes Dr. Arden in the U.S. Years later. You knew there had to be a Nazi connection somewhere.
OMFG really that was his son? WOW he looks exactly like his father.
OK I just read somewhere that is stating as fact that the Dr. Gruper character is Dr. Arden from Asylum. He just changed his name when he fled Germany. WOW OH WOW OH WOW. That is so wild. Now that’s a great connection of AHS worlds.
But I need to be sure that this is true and not just speculation because James Cromwell’s son played the part of a young Dr. Gruper. I wonder if this will be elaborated on further in next weeks finale?
It has to all connect because Ryan Murphy confirmed that they were all connected in some way..what I want to know is how season one connected with all these people??! I get this season 4 and season 2…..I don’t get coven or the haunted house season connection…I would love to see how he “mooches” them all together and you know aliens and witchcraft come in there somewhere!!
I just did some research and Dr. Arden from AHS:Asylum’s real name in Germany when he was a Nazi soldier was Hans Gruper. So YESSSS this is the same character and it is a crossover/connection with Season 4 FreakShow. Well slap me for being so surprised.
UF, as my son and I were watching last night, Blake noticed the doctor connection immediately. I haven’t seen Asylum (hangs head sheepishly). I know, I know. I’m going to watch it on Netflix soon. Then he noticed that Nan from Coven was the Ventriloquist dummy in human form. They had her so made up that I didn’t notice right away but then I saw it. Did anyone else notice?
Hey HKR! It was publicized that Jaime Brewer (Nan/Marjorie) would be guest starring on Freak Show…. Asylum is a very good, deep, layered, crazy scary show. It has elements of so many genres of horror. To me it is the the creepiest/scariest of series. I can’t wait to hear how much you love/hate it after you watch it.
OMG at all of Maggie’s dripping blood & guts when Chester pulled apart the box after he sawed it. Maggie sure did meet a gruesome end. Did her character deserve that? So far at least Stanley lived even though his life is the equivalent of caged fowl.
I never completely owned the label “freaktard” until watching this episode…buh bye Maggie…oh dayum. lol That was funny though!! I know I said I would never watch again because of Pepper because Pepper brought heart…this was funny. I still have 15 minutes left..
Those Freaks do not play when it comes to their enforcement of justice. They really stuck together with that mob mentality to brutalize whom ever has hurt their kind. Elsa got lucky high-tailing her ass out of there.
They r gonna kial u!! (twins to elsa)
Neil Patrick Harris has an awesome accent…sarah..ehhh….i’m from ky though.
BIG REVEAL!!!! NPH killed his PUPPET!!! ROFL oh dayum, i’m a freaktard…I own…it’s who I am….
I am SHOCKED that Desiree would kill & behead the curator from the Morbidity Museum. She is brutal in her justice when Freaks are harmed. Don’t y’all think that Desiree would make an excellent Mother Monster to the Freaks in the end to replace Elsa?
I love Desiree…that lady at the museum was more freakish than anybody she had in those jars!
FUCK. Still in moderation. will keep trying.
Jesus. It looks like I blocked you by name. weird. THIS SHOULD WORK I SWEAR. #Apologies.
It’s ok tt!!! I still LOVE you!! I can live in moderation for you!
oh this should help!! I defended Porsha by the name of TIM because…well, it’s not important but it has to do with nancy drew…anyhoo I said she had graves disease for going off on nene because in an episode I saw she had high BP and HR and I have graves disease but you were right as always…there is never an excuse for violence…
fuck! I meant Porsha going off on Kenya and I thought Porsha had graves disease.
JIMMY GETS THE SAME CLAW HANDS??? well, as a lady I kind of get it?!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! um not about your comment. But I think I figured out why all your comments go to moderation. THanks for not bitching at me about it. I’m always working to look to fix the issues. FINALLY found it. xoxo. Um, I think.
I never even thought about moderation…I thought it was par for course?? lol well, I love your site tt….sometimes i’m serious and sometimes i’m drunk…
oh xoxoxoxo I would love to be your friend but would HATE to be on your baaaad side….I’ve read it bitch!!
It was a brutal episode. Don’t forget about the Morbidity Museum lady’s head in the jar.
Desiree is a wicked bad ass. Don’t mess with no freak or she will get ya! I guess all her years of being rejected by family & society have really given her the strength to not put up with any shit.
There’s one episode left. We could still see Desiree’s third tit in a glass jar before the season ends.
that lady deserved it!! she didn’t care who got in the jar or how….she never thought it would be her though I bet?? lol I was hoping it would be Stanley but he has a much more brutal fate.
Why do always feel dirty when I watch this show??
A favorite line by Desiree regarding Maggie:
“Steal her jewelry. Then bury the bitch.”
I loved that one too. Why did Jimmy get lobster hands? The drawing showed hands that most people had. Also the movie “The sign of the cross that Elsa wanted to show, isn’t that the same movie Sister Jude made the patients watch on Asylum?
I think Jimmy wanted to stay in his comfort zone & remain a Freak. Maybe he was honoring his Toledo family lineage by keeping his claw hands?
Anyway by the time his hands got cut off, he had written off his relationship with Maggie. He probably hoped to get back into the G-spot locating business, and wanted to his money maker back.
And yes “Sign of the Cross” was the same movie that Sister Jude showed the patients in Asylum.
So what do you think the connection between Elsa and Sister Jude is? Sister Jude did not have a German accent.
I didn’t know that there was a connection between Elsa & Sister Jude? Did I miss something?
But I will add to the theory of the possibility of a connection between them.
Elsa did tell Ethel that she had an older sister that died before she was born. So Elsa had a sister that she never met. Could it be Jude????
Also Elsa mentioned that when she first came to the US from Germany, she worked in a Circus as a chorus girl. I can’t remember if she said Baltimore or Boston, but either way its a hop skip and a jump away from Briarcliff Manor, the Asylum. That’s all I got about any possible connection between the two.
UF, I didn’t say there was a connection between the two; only asked what YOU thought there might be; since you have plenty of “connections.” Pepper ending up there, the Nazi Doctor, the nun taking in Pepper and anything else I missed. The connection that I made was the movie Elsa and Sister Jude made their charges watch.
Good morning, TT. I’ve finally caught up with all posts and most comments
I haven’t watched last nights epi of Freak Show so I’m holding off on reading UFs precap. I need some laughs which he always provides along with insight so I need to watch soon. Dangerous wireless/internet conditions looming..
I’ll be moving today and tomorrow and ATT and Directv better not fuck up transferring my connections.
Hope you’ve fully recovered. As for your new language course, good luck

GAWD dealing with cable/internet providers is the real American Horror Story. Good luck with all the changes & hope you get connected soon.
Ms. Urethra, have you ever watched the HBO series Carnivale? It was on for two seasons in 2003-2005. It has lots of elements that you love: traveling carnival, freaks, unexplained happenings, mysticism, sex, some real history, the battle between good and evil and religious overtones. I just rewatched the whole series and think that you would love it. It’s on HBO GO and OnDemand.
@Barbara R, I was a fan of Carnivale too. I hated when they cancelled that show. I think UF would like it. Not as gruesome as AHS but still with the same nuances.
I will check it out to see if its available for free On Demand.. I’ve heard about it, but never watched it. TY
OMG my IPad has been having issues for the last week and I’ve been unable to get on Tamara Tattles very much. I have been in serious withdrawal. Watching AHS last night without being able to read UF’s precap about had my eyes bleeding. My son who had his leg amputated from an accident on December 1st and I watched together. Now that was interesting lol. He wasn’t bothered at all. Said we had seen the real thing. Wow we really are true freaktards. Loved seeing some real freak justice being served last night. Stanley looked like one of those chicks you used to buy your kid at Easter. The curator from the museum sure had a shocked look on her face. I wonder if she ever thought about where Or how Stanley obtained his “freak contributions”.
Hannah, your son sounds awesome. So do you. Healing thoughts to you and yours.
Thanks @khaleesi. My son definitely is awesome. All he’s been through and he’s still a Freaktard. He’s already decided he wants a real wooden leg so he can be a pirate next Halloween. I’m going to have to ask the girl we gave our Macaw parrot to several years ago to let him use the parrot to finish out his costume.
I’m so relieved to hear that your son is handling things as well as possible.
Khaleesi,
Have you any dragons?
Hannah,
Sorry to hear about your son’s accident but it’s nice to hear that the two of you have adapted so well.
I wanted to tell you that I too have been having problems with my iPad , particularly on Tamara Tattles. It is very slow to load and it doesn’t seem to want to follow links when tapped. For instance, when tapping on a recent comment or ‘go to comments’ the beast ignores me completely.
I read a lot but do not comment nearly as often as you and others. This is a good thing because it doesn’t like to complete a comment if I back up to correct.
I hope your son continues to heal swiftly.
Hannah I am so glad you & your son can watch the show together with such a positive attitude. I have to say whenever the scenes regarding amputation come up, I always think about you, and how the show might upset you. You & your son seem to be adapting so well, especially in the humor department. Humor really is the best therapy/medicine….Speaking of humor, I LOL at your comment about Stanley looking like a Easter chick.
Hannah, I don’t comment often, but I remembered you telling us about the accident and was wondering how you guys were doing. I didn’t have the right to ask you something so personal, so thank you for sharing that. For me, the scenes of Elsa and that snuff film was the worst part of the whole thing. That is the one thing I could not take. I am scared to death of clowns, (I punched one once),and I didnt think anything could scare me worse.Your son is something else! His bravery and attitude humbles me. You did good, Mom.
Deco, yes I am the mother of dragons. They’re all grown and gone and way too big. Nice dragons they are. “Well, they killed the neighbor, but the bitch had it coming.”
I know this is off topic you guys but I’m sorry/not sorry lol. I want UF, TT and all the rest of my freaktard friends in here to know how much you guys mean to me. None of you really know me except on here yet you always ask or comment to me about my son. It was a really tough thing that he and I had to go through and we’re not finished. Blake hasn’t even healed enough to be fitted for his first leg prosthesis but he’s working on it. We’ve finally found a doctor who cared enough to help us get him out of constant pain. The doctors and surgeons couldn’t have cared any less than they did about helping us. They were so cruel to him. Took him back to his regular doctor and she couldn’t believe how he had been treated. With the right meds, he’s doing so much better which makes me so much better. My disability CRPS and all the other things wrong with me have improved since he has improved. Don’t hesitate to ask anything you want to know about me or Blake. The fact that you care enough to want to know warms my heart. Love you all. You have to know this site and the people on it helped me get through some of my darkest days. But my freaktards are my favorites. Shhhh don’t tell anyone else. I’m off my sentimental soapbox and now for your regular programming. I CAN’T BELIEVE THERE IS ONLY ONE MORE EPISODE LEFT OF AHS. THAT JUST BLOWS!
Hannah it hurts my soul to know that some of the doctors & their policies that your son encountered only added more hurt to his physical & emotional well being. I just shake my head in heartbreaking disbelief at your personal experience at the way y’all been treated. Unfortunately I’ve heard similar horror stories about the medical system in our great country of USA. Sometimes I wonder how great it really is if this kind of treatment or lack thereof exists so commonly.
This would have been the perfect finale episode. I’m not sure I even want to watch next week.
Don’t you want to know what happens to Elsa?
I agree Bendy, only because it mostly resolved all the story lines with the exception of Dandy & Elsa. This would have been an OK place to end with Elsa, but we know from the flash forward in Pepper’s episode that Elsa gets her own TV show.
I am curious to see how a washed up broad like Elsa got to the top. There’s gotta be some German connection from her past. Maybe she blackmails a former client from Berlin that is now the head of an American TV studio?
The only other thing I am looking forward too for the finale is the return of Edward Mordrake along with Twisty. Either Dandy or Elsa is gonna die and join Twisty in Hell forever.
I love that Dandy is the new owner of the freaks!
Freaks love Freaks! Feel sorry for the twins, actually all of them except the new Meep Stanley.
Did I miss an episode? What did happen to Twisty?
In episode 4 Edward Mordrake (the man with 2 faces) killed Twisty & claimed his soul. We have not seen either Mordrake or Twisty since then, but their ghosts will return in the season finale next week. #SPOILER
I didn’t quite get the last scene shot. Was that Staley in the cage and if so what did they do to him?
I’m watching the last DVD of Murder House this weekend. I always plan on watching one episode at a time but get so hooked I wind up watching all four episodes as a marathon. Next up, Asylum.
The Freaks sought vigilante justice against Stanley by cutting off his legs & arms and dressing him up in Meep’s costume and caging him with the fowl.
Sorry I would have responded to this sooner, but I just got my internet, TV, DVR, & phone reconnected after a 42 hour technology blackout because my U-Verse system at home FRIED & DIED while I was watching the Whitney Houston movie after a power surge in the neighborhood.
