American Horror Story - Season 6, Episode 09: Chapter 9
Trailer
Season 6 is back without Jessica Lange and is focusing on the physical and psychological fears traumatising the staff and clients at a terrified colony.
With only one episode left, it was about time we finally saw the highly anticipated appearence of another AHS vet, Taissa Farmiga (Murder House, Coven).
Lee's survival makes next week's episode far more interesting than I expected. After all, it was only last week that she confessed to having killed her husband, and the whole reason this Return to Roanoke project exists was to make that confession happen.
This episode pretty much takes everything grisly that has happened (so far) in Season 6 and threw it into the bonfire of one fiery, delirious, and downright ghastly ritual sacrifice that makes Freddie Krueger look like Santa Claus.
We were promised one survivor would emerge from the trenches of the horror house at Roanoke, and lo, that person has been revealed in tonight's penultimate chapter of American Horror Story: Roanoke. It's...not who you thought it would be.
I predicted that Lee would end up being the sole survivor of the second part of this season of American Horror Story, and that - as a suspected murderer already -... Well, I was somewhat right!
"Chapter 9" is a solid episode of American Horror Story's most meaningful and consistent season -- and by "solid," I mean strongly told, startling, and filled with slithering entrails and smoking corpses.
