American Horror Story: Cult | Season 7 Episode 8 - " Winter of Our Discontent"


Spoiler Alert!

WTF was this episode?!
Hello people so here I am with the AHS promised rant and what an hell of an episode!
For sure this was so much better than the previous one (it wasn't hard, to be honest, since I didn't really like that episode), but this was so messed up. When I already thought I was understand were this was going, Ryan Murphy shakes things up and basically changes everything.
Well, this episode was all centered on Winter (that's why the name of the episode) and, right in the beginning, we learn how Kai and Winter got so close. Of course they are brothers and all, but we've seen before that they weren't really 'friends' and, somehow, that changed - that's what we see in this episode. We see that they started messing around on the deep web and that got them in some kind of trouble, were Kai got into that state of mind where he is right now. We learn that they went to a some creepy house with a really creepy pastor (played by Rick Springfield who was also on Supernatural last season) that have been punishing people. They realized all the messed up things he was doing and both Kai and Winter saved the people that were there and Kai killed the Pastor in the end, and that's when he changed.
At this point, the girl are all mad at Kai but, after telling this story, both Ivy and Beverly agree that Winter should talk to Kai and try to work things out that way but, if she doesn't, Beverly will do something about it because she just can't take it anymore.
Winter goes to talk to Kai and that's when the really creepy stuff starts happening. Not creepy in a scary or bloody way, but just in a messed up way because Kai wants Winter to be impregnated with the 'messiah' by Samuels.
What's more f*cked up about all this is that she actually agreed! Luckily, things didn't really go as planned but, later, Samuels tries to rape Winter and she just gets like really mad and just kills him.
Meanwhile, we also see more of Dr. Vincent and we get an answer to the question that I've been asking in both my last AHS rants. So no, Vincent didn't know anything about what Kai as been doing, which is nice! Kai isn't really happy about the fact that Vincent haven't really reached out to him and that's when Vincent realises how messed up Kai is. Then, he goes to Ally and says that he wants to help her and everything but she basically just back stabs him (metaphorically) and tells Kai everything that Dr. Vincent has been planning.
In the very end of the episode we see Vincent and Beverly brought to Kai for punishment (which is basically a synonym to death). Vincent because of what Ally told Kai and Beverly because Winter ended up blamming Beverly for Samuels' death. And yeah, in the very end Kai kills Dr. Vincent, which was pretty sad because he was basically the only good character and sends Beverly off to be tortured.
The last thing that we see in this episode is the introduction to the new cult member: Ally (which wasn't really a surprise in my opinion).
Next episode seems even more messed up, involving Ozzy and all so, let's see what happens.
This season is almost coming to an end (which is pretty sad) so let me know all your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you in my next rant (probably tomorrow).
Love,
Daniela.
