American Horror Story: Cult | Season 7 Episode 6 - "Mid-Western Assassin"


Spoiler Alert!

And here I am with the final rant of the day.
I know I'm super late with this rant (just like I am with all the others) and that there's going to be a new episode tomorrow (which I probably won't be able to cover tomorrow so expect the rant later this week) but yeah, here it is!
Overall, I don't think this episode was major but I think it gave us a lot more information that we needed and plus it had a big plot twist in the end, which I kind of didn't see coming.
We start the episode with a flashforward for a shooting which, at first, we believe it came from Ally. (Also, just a side note, it was said that this shooting was going to be a lot more graphic but because of everything that have been happening they toned it down which, in my opinion, is a downside since I like everything gory and stuff but yeah, just a little curiosity).
After the credits, when then see how everything happened, starting with finding out that Meadow is still alive and that Ally went back and rescued her. Meadow then tells Ally that she fell in love with Kai and that she then decided to leave the cult because her love wasn't reciprocated.
Ally then decides to use Meadow as a 'witness' and use her testimony to expose Kai, going for one of his opposing candidates, Sally Keffler, for help.
In the middle of their conversation, the cult breaks in and Kai kills Sally making it look like a suicide.
While this was happening, Meadow was with Dr. Vincent who then lets Meadow leave and, when Ally comes back, she gets really upset because she basically lost all her leverage.
The next day we see the political rally that we saw in the very beginning of the episode and we see that the actual shooter is in fact Meadow, who tries to kill Kai and other people. Ally attempts to wrestle the gun out of Meadow's hands but Meadow ends up shooting herself in the mouth.
Ally then is arrested when a SWAT team arrives at the scene and finds her with the gun in her hands.
After that, we see some flashbacks of what really happened when Meadow tried to leave the cult. 
Turns out Kai planned all this thing, from Ally finding Meadow, Meadow telling her everything about the cult and even the shooting, making Ally the witness of everything but at the same time the guilty one of everything, as well as him being shot so he would be 'famous' in a national level.
The episode basically ended like that but I need to mention something that we saw in the beginning of the episode, which was basically how Ivy got introduced to the cult and why she 'hated' Ally. Turns out she hates her because Ally was the one to give birth to Ozzy and Ivy wanted to be the one but she just couldn't because of some medical issue and yeah, everything started there.
It was a nice touch because we have been wondering about that.
And yeah, not that's basically it.
I just have one question... Does Dr. Vincent know about the cult? I mean, we assume he does just because he's Kai's brother but it doesn't necessarily means he does so, I just wonder about that.
Anyway, let me know what you think and I'll see you (hopefully) tomorrow with new rant(s).
Love,
Daniela.
