Previously on FX’s American Horror Story, Ben and Ashley, who survived the plane crash, spend the evening together. Ben learns that she also fears the number 13 as they bond over their past trauma.  Beginning to think they survived for a reason, Ashley is stunned to find a ‘616’ branding on Ben’s lower back. 

The episode begins with James Patrick March picking someone up: Jeffrey Dahmer, who has been brought back from the dead. They head to their Devil’s Night for the evening. 

Next, we see the coven — with Madison Montgomery, Mallory, Queenie, Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt and Cordelia Goode — welcome a new member, Morwenna. Morwenna does magic on a toad, making it go back to its tadpole form. Morwenna tells them that she only got her powers recently and that she felt something different within herself when she became a witch. 

Later, Cordelia tells Queenie and Madison that something dangerous is coming. But she is scared as she can no longer see into the future. Cordelia has the coven contact her mother, Fiona Goode, from the dead. She plans to use her to help with whatever danger is to come. 

Then we see James come to the house, lying to Cordelia about who he is. Cordelia tells him he’s not welcome. He walks inside the house and tries to sell her some items, but she doesn’t budge. She warns him to leave, and he throws a weapon at her. She uses her power, throwing it back at him, and it gashes his head. She realizes he’s dangerous when his wound disappears. 

James gets his entourage — Richard Ramirez, Zodiac, and Jeffrey — to attack them. James throws his weapon at Cordelia’s head and ends up killing her. 

Overall, this was a good episode. This episode has a lot more action than some of the other episodes from this season so far. Evan Peters does an incredible job as James in this episode. It’s exciting to see James Patrick March back. It will be interesting to see how his character will come into play with the coven and Mr. Nas’ plan.
