Episode Three: Edward Mordrake Recap and Twitter Craze

The Halloween Episode would be in two parts. Grrr! We just want to know who is going to be taken away by Edward Mordrake! But first, let's do a quick recap and then of course the live Twitter feed.

Quick Rewind

Stanley (Dennis O'Hare) and Maggie Esmerelda (Emma Roberts) are posing as a Professor from Harvard and a student. They are trying to give a museum a fake baby big foot. They got told that it was not authentic and was a baby goat with a cat jaw on it. But the lady that owned the freak museum said if they brought her something real she would take it. So they decided to go to Florida, to Elsa's freak show.

Since it is Halloween they had Twisty dressed as himself trick-or-treating. There is a small girl who is terrified of clowns and spots him, she has a little freak out. The mother was confused about why her daughter was afraid of them because she states, "I find clowns delightful." By the end of the episode Twisty actually steals the little girl's brother. 

Ethel, the bearded lady, finds out she has cirrhosis in her liver and is told not to drink or else it will only speed up her death. She starts drinking as soon as she gets back to the freak show.

Since it is Halloween, the freak show does not practice or have shows. The story of Edward Mordrake keeps the freaks from performing. Ethel, bearded lady, then tells the story of Mordrake. 

The story is that Mordrake had a second face on the back of his head that spoke hellish things to him. He was then taken to a crazy house, escaped though and went to a freak show. Mordrake was still unhappy and then hanged himself. The face on the back of his head was smiling. If freak shows perform on Halloween they summon Mordrake's spirit and he then kills someone. 

Dandy is at home on Halloween when Dora, the maid, brings him his handmade costume. It is of Howdie Doodie, of course Dandy freaks out. He decides to make his own costume. He makes himself a clown for Halloween.

When Dandy decides to leave he attempts to scare Dora. He acts like he is going to kill her. Dora then dares him to kill her. He doesn't. He says he hates her then leaves. 

He ends up at Twisty's trailer and tries to scare the two people that are captured. Dandy hands the boy a treat and then tries stabbing the him. Dandy then gets a stick and add the knife to it making a large spear, he then terrorizes the prisoners.

Maggie Esmerelda then arrives at Elsa's without Stanley they are working together though. She claims to be a clairvoyant, a future teller. Jimmy thinks she is the real deal, Elsa says she is not so easily fooled by a pretty face and wants her to give a reading. Somehow Esmerelda gives her a vague enough reading to convince Elsa that there is a man coming to turn her career around.

The battle between Bette and Dot continues. Dot had a dream that she was having a surgery to kill her conjoined twin. Bette wakes her up and said she was having an awful dream, Dot said she thought it was delightful. The rivalry continues on.

Dell and Ethel have a sentimental conversation about their past together. Ethel really loved him and Dell says he never loved her. She then tells him she is dying and Jimmy can never know that Dell is his father.

Elsa, with the reading from Esmerelda, decides to sing a song for the fan who is going to change her career. She ends up summoning Edward Mordrake. Mordrake finds Ethel and he interviews her about her darkest pains. We find out about her past in previous freak shows, her and Dell, along with the birth of Jimmy being put on display. Fortunately for her, the face on the back of Mordrake's head does not think Ethel is the life to take. 

The search continues. 

Twitter Craze

1. Dora

After Dandy has pissed off everyone that watches the show he also pisses off Dora. The maid to the Mott household has basically had enough of Dandy. She calls Dandy out on killing the cats and tells him she is afraid of him. Everyone on Twitter was so happy that she stood up to him. She is a boss and everyone wants her to stay in the show. People also really wish Dora would kill Dandy, including myself, since Twisty isn't going to now. 

2. Elsa's Lana Del Rey Cover

During the Mordrake summoning, Elsa covered a Lana Del Rey song called Gods and Monsters. I personally love Lana so that was awesome having American Horror Story use that song. Here is the YouTube Video of the song. It was a huge improvement from the last song Elsa sang. Last night on Twitter the tweets reflected the improvement along with the love for Lana Del Rey. 

3. Weird Viking Scene 

So we find out that Stanley is gay. Nothing wrong with that. The way that AHS brought up that fact was a bit strange though. 

Picture from vixenvaristy.com
Stanley was in bed and there is a naked man with a Viking helmet on by the end of bed. Stanley says something about Thor where is your... the other man adds in, hammer, and looks down. Stanley says no and tells the man to come to him and take off his underwear. Stanley then says sword. The Viking man was shocked at what he saw. 

AHS fans on Twitter had some pretty interesting thoughts about what was underneath his whitey tighties. Twitter was excited to share their thoughts, I was dying of laughter as I read their guesses.
