    🙏

    This episode is absolutely stunning. I love the after credit with "Madison Montogamy"

    Loved this episode!

    Such a great episode! I'm really enjoying where the story is going. The characters are brilliant and it's great to see Kathy Bates back this year! 💜

    Overall very disappointed with the lack of plot development and an intriguing story.

    LGBT & feminist heaven.

    So far disappointing plot - wise, but a cool twist in the last minutes of the episode that had me "whoa". I would LOVE more scenes like that instead of all the gay stuff and drama that populated the rest of the screen time.

    Nostalgic Fellings

    This season's giving me a nostalgic feeling so far. Kinda feeling like I'm watching a perfect mix up of Asylum and Coven. This episode was brilliantly written and put up together. Praise for Evan Peters and Joan Collins for this one.

      While reading the email about Venable, there is a line that reads "she has deviated from operating protocols and insinuated her own rules [...]." But when Emily reads the line aloud, she uses the word "instituted" not "insinuated".
    • Quotes

      Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt: I have a rule against eating things with no legs or too many legs.

      Andre Stevens: Oh, right, but you're fine eating something with two legs.

      Mr. Gallant: For the last time, we didn't eat your boyfriend.

      Ms. Miriam Mead: Eat it or don't. No one's gonna force it down you.

      Dinah Stevens: Adversity makes strange bedfellows and worse dinner companions. It's food, and we're starving. We should be grateful for the fruits of the earth.

      Evie Gallant: Well, steamed snake soup is actually quite delicious. It was the centerpiece of a dinner that I attended at the Royal Court in Kuala Lumpur with Gina Lollobrigida.
