Spoiler Alert!
Hello again people!
Second to last episode of American Horror Story: 1984. I have to say, I was expecting more.
I always thought this episode would be like 'the final battle' and then the last episode would be either a plot twist or a flash-forward to see where people ended up and, perhaps, also give us a plot twist, but I guess that's not happening anymore. This was another 'lead up' episode and next one is when the final battle is going to go down.
However, what this episode gave us was an entanglement of all our characters. This was interesting, but at the same time pretty confusing so... I'm still on defense with this episode.
The first characters that get mixed up are Bruce, Ramirez and Jingles. That's right, Bruce didn't die nor was found by the police. Instead, someone found him, a woman, and what did he do? Kill her, obviously. He steals her car and drives to Camp Redwood hunting Brooke and Donna. That's when he hits Mr. Jingles with the car as he's 'running away' from Ramirez. Bruce meets Ramirez and, as expected, he's totally a 'weird' fan girl and, in true AHS form, the both basically team up to hunt not only Jingles but also some other random people, since Bruce is looking for his body count to increase.
Meanwhile, Brooke and Donna are approached by a tabloid writer that knows who they are. In exchange for for the writer to keep her mouth shut, they agree to give her the true story about Camp Redwood and so they take her on a 'tour' through the places where things happened that night. Turns out, Brooke's real plan is to kill Stacy but luckily Donna prevents that and the writer runs away, just to be killed later by Ramirez, Bruce and Margaret. Yes, Margaret came into the mix as she enlists Bruce and Ramirez to kill the rest of the bands (except Billy Idol) at her festival.
Somewhere else in the Camp, we see Trevor and Montana who had just hooked up. They talk about how it is to be a ghost and how Montana is kind of bored and later Trevor declares his love to Montana and suggests that he should die in the Camp in order to stay with Montana forever. However, Montana pushes him away, feeling guilty about her relationship with Ramirez.
And, if this entangled of characters wasn't enough, we see the dead counselors, enraged at Richter's past killing, tie him up and refusing to let him go to kill Ramirez. That's when they decide to stab Richter, put him on a boat in the lake, and let him bleed to death. And, in true slasher style, Bobby's ghost appears (Richter's brother not his son) and drags him into the lake - just like in Friday the 13th. I don't know about you but I've been waiting for that scene throughout the whole season so it was nice to see it the way they did it.
Anyway, in the end, Richter awakens next to Bobby and Lavinia, and the latter convinces him to stay with them.
As I said before, the episode was interesting, but I felt like there was too much going on and nothing at all at the same time, so I'm conflicted. But no matter what, I'm liking this season a lot more than I thought I would and I'm pretty excited about the season finale.
In the meantime, let me know what you thought of this episode and tell which are your expectations for the finale.
Love,
Daniela.
