American Horror Story: 1984 | Season 9 Episode 7 - "The Lady in White"


Spoiler Alert!

Hey!
As promised, here I am with the new AHS rant!
Unfortunately, this wasn't my favorite episode this season. It was interesting, it provided a few answers and it also had a special guest that it's really adored by AHS fans but... I don't know, I feel like something was missing.
The episode begins with a flashback to 1948 where we meet young Richter and learn about what happened to him in his childhood. Well, more like what happened to his brother Bobby, who was accidentally killed by a boat propeller. We also see that his mother Lavinia, played by none other than Lily Rabe, blames him for Bobby's death, since it was supposed for him to be looking out for his brother.
Back in 1989, Ritcher is back at Camp Redwood and bumps into all the ghosts that are trapped there. In the beginning, basically all of them want to kill Ritcher, but they then tell him about another unknown ghost that is tormenting them and that's when Richter let's them know what it's probably his mother because, before the massacre that they knew, there was another massacre, led by Richter's mother and who he killed back in 1948. Post that, Richter goes looking for his mother's ghost and that's when she lets him know that she manipulated Margaret into killing all those kids to make Richter suffer for Bobby's death. 
At the same time, we see what is going on with Brooke and Donna. It takes a bit for Brooke to trust Donna, but she does eventually and after a few days we see them in a skating ring, where then they meet a guy, Bruce, who helps them fix the car and they decide to give him a ride. Obviously this wasn't a good idea and turns out he's a murderer or something so they are able to get away from him when they're approached by the police. But, of course, it can't end there and Bruce (played by Dylan McDermott, by the way) kills the cop and goes after the girls.
Bruce tracks them down and threatens to kill them but, for once, this girls are smart and they are able to overpower him and just leave him on the road for dead. 
And well, the episode ends with everyone heading to Camp Redwood (to kill Margaret) and with Ramirez already in the camp and killing a bunch of musicians. Also, Richter ends up killing himself in the Camp in order to turn into a ghost and exact his revenge.
As I said, this had a few things that added to the story but I felt like this wasn't as strong as the previous episodes, which I was liking.
We have two more episodes to go so I hope this ends well. It looks like it's going to be an epic battle so... I'm excited.
Let me know what you thought of this episode and what do you think is going to happen in the last two episodes and I'll see you next week with new rants!
Love,
Daniela.
