American Horror Story: 1984 | Season 9 Episode 2 - "Mr. Jingles"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello everybody!
Yes, I am aware that I am so late with this rant, and I could make up a lot of excuses like other stuff to do (which I had but that's not why I didn't post this earlier) but I really didn't like the first episode that much so I wasn't that excited about this one. I still am not that excited for future episodes, to be honest, but this one was a lot more interesting.
What really intrigued me about this episode was how fast everything went. Usually we take a lot of time and build up, sometimes to a point where it's dragging, but right now everything is happening really fast which makes me curious. I am 99% sure that there's a twist coming and I'm looking forward to it. We already got a glimpse that something is up in this episode so... I'm curious. I still can't stand the cheesiness, to be honest, but that's fine, it's just my personal taste.
This episode is called "Mr. Jingles" and, although it does start with 'Mr. Jingles' killing the psychiatrist, I think this is mainly foreshadowing that 'Mr. Jingles' isn't the person that we think it is but, in fact, Margaret. Yes, I said it. I think everyone thinks this right now and this episode really proved that point and showed why people are suspicious - first that talk with Richard Ramirez that was extremely creepy and weird, and then the talk with the guy from 1970 who says that he didn't see Mr. Jingles but he saw Margaret so... Everything points to her.
Apart from that, we got a few flashbacks, which a lot of people also said we were going to have - one about Brooke and her wedding that went wrong (which just didn't make sense and didn't add anything to the story, in my opinion) and another about Richard Ramirez, which didn't add much to the story either.
We also found out who was the person that Xavier got a message on the phone last episode - a man named Blake who made Xavier act in gay porn.
All of this looked way too simple and they basically gave us all this answers, and we're only in episode 2 so there's no way there's a big twist coming. 
The episode ends with the group splitting  into two groups to get the keys of their vehicles but getting trapped inside their cabins with someone banging on the doors.
Like I said before, everything looks way too easy and too complete like, it's only episode 2 and it looks like their going to get killed next episode so... I really want to see what they come up with this season. I hope it is better than the ending of last season. But that's basically it for me. It was, for sure, better than last episode but I'm still on defense.
Let me know what you guys thought of the episode and I'll see you in my next rant.
Love,
Daniela.
