American Horror Story: Revelation of the Apocalypse: Season 8, Episode 6

The title of the episode is "Return to Murder House" and are you ready? Because a homecoming that started everything is exactly what you do AHS this week – IMMEDIATELY.

At the beginning of the most anticipated episode of the season (raise your hand if you're more impatient to see Jessica Lange come back than Jesus himself!), Madison and Chablis stop in front of the iconic Gothic mansion of Los Angeles. of which they are the proud new owners. And all they had to do to get it, it was to degrade completely, pretending to be a married couple who are dying to make their haunted house their home for always. Madison is not satisfied with the charade, but Chablis has it so much worse, clearly.

"I had to put persimmons! It is a difficult day for all of us! "Cree there. (Side note: If Jessica Lange's comeback is the number one priority this season, Billy Porter and Emma Roberts anchor an episode together, which is very close, give these two people their own spin-offs, s & # 39; please.)

The title credits begin and the door of Murder House opens, Chablis announcing that the place is filled with spirits and bad vibrations. Unwinding potions, knives, etc., they cast a spell to reveal the ghosts. Chablis, although he is an accomplished demon and a generally intelligent dude, nevertheless draws the mute idea of ​​cutting the palm of his hand to seal the transaction in the blood (yes, that's cool, but that would put your hand of aside for WEEKS.) They sing, blood boils and ghosts come out! Dead nurses! Burn children! Teenagers troubled and their therapists in masturbation! Because yes, right now, we see familiar faces: Ben Harmon, who continues to heal Tate, who is still trying to recover Violet. (The more things change, huh people?)

Madison tries to ask for answers about Michael Langdon, but ghosts are not intimidated.

"What are you going to do, make us MORE DEAD?" Said Ben, before apologizing and leaving – "I have to look out the window and cry while I'm masturbating, that's my daily life", which made Chablis call him "larcorer". that time, your friendly neighborhood rapper missed several extra lines of dialogue because I too was briefly deceased.What ever, this (and the appearance of Sarah Paulson in the role of Billie Dean Howard) only revives the sight of this great moment:

"Who do you think come here, swing, vomit vulgarities?" Whispered a voice. And when Madison asks to know the identity of the newcomer, she's there. Blonde puff, cigarette in hand, hoarse voice in point.

"I'm Constance Langdon," says Constance Langdon, "and it's my birthplace.

The show skilfully goes on publicity here, lest YASSS KWEEN's cries bother the dead.

From there, the episode offers insider information about Michael Langdon's origins, but honestly, it's about fan service. Constance says she will only talk about Michael if the witches ban Moira from the house – which is good for Moira, who no longer wants to be with her mother. Gathered as spirits in a common cemetery plot, the two embrace and walk hand in hand in the mist, in a totally sweet and surprising, always happy atmosphere. (The writers, knowing that this is the last thing to expect from the fans American horror storyclearly took the opportunity to drag us here; Moira's mother exclaims, shouting, "I wanted to choke you … with kisses!" Well done, show. Good game.)

The story promised by Constance is no longer an obstacle, it is both an illuminating story for Michael and an epic monologue for Jessica Lange. Michael has always been in a good mood, she says, even when he was committing murder, which he has done almost continuously since his earliest childhood – starting with small animals and ending with the unfortunate babysitter we saw seven years ago during the first season. But it was very good. until Michael had a decade from one day to the next, Constance realized that absolutely wrong and tried to call a priest – that he also killed, which led him to realize that he would also eventually go. Rather than wait for that to happen, she went to Murder House and performed the act herself, reuniting her various ghost children (after making sure her lipstick was perfect, of course.)

"I was born to be a mother, why not die to be one too?" She concluded.

But Constance is not the only ghost of the house to have interacted with Michael, so the story is more important. Ben, for example, tried to engage the demon in a therapy ("He wanted to be good!"), But alas, it did not take. Michael started dismembering the ghosts and then the new tenants, a lesbian couple who did not have to unpack a single box before putting on the rubber suit and stabbing them to death. Even more bizarre: after murdering women, he reduced their ghosts to nothing. What! How!? Only one resident of Murder House knows the answer: hellooooo, Vivien Harmon. (And damn it, another well-programmed commercial break so fans can scream or faint or wank and cry in front of a window, we all celebrate Connie Britton's return in different ways, all right ?)

And here's the final verdict: Michael Langdon lived in the house until three Satanists, including Mead, came to help him fulfill his destiny. A black mass was celebrated. Michael eats it raw – presented with the still-living heart of a sacrificial virgin – and meets his creator while a winged, winged shadow blossoms on the wall behind him.

"Father," he said. Vivien did not realize then that she had to kill him, but she could not; he is too mean and too powerful. In his words: "Ben is not his father, any more than Tate. The source of darkness is his true father and he is there to destroy the world. "

Obviously, Vivien does not tell us anything we do not already know – but Chablis and Madison needed to hear it. United in the realization that Michael Langdon is the Antichrist, they make their way out … oh, but not until Madison performs a final act of fan service. That's right, kids: it took seven seasons, countless prayers and thousands of ghostly fanfiction pages about ghosts, but Tate Langdon and Violet Harmon are together, finally, forever. And while Madison and Chablis are moving away towards an uncertain future, let the sight of these two dead and crazy children kiss at the window supporting you. At least they will still live happy after the end of the world.
