Forbidden Fruit

Langdon continues to interview the dwellers of the Outpost, and confronts Mallory, exposing a demoniac face, but Mallory shows strength. Then he submits himself to a ritual to his demon "father". Meanwhile, the carriage brings fresh apples sent by the Corporation to the Outpost. Ms. Venable and Ms. Mead plot a scheme to kill all the residents of the Outpost, poisoning the apples, including Langdon. Below the carriage, a deformed man named Brock is hidden and stabs the Fist and enters the shelter. Coco meets a masked man and believes he is Langdon. She brings him to her room, but he is her former fiancé Brock that stabs her forehead. The residents are happy with the Halloween party and eat the poisoned apples but Langdon and Coco, and all of them die. Ms. Venable and Ms. Mead look for Langdon to kill him, but they have a surprise.

"Forbidden Fruit" is the best episode of the Eighth Season of the "American Horror Story" so far. There are several revelations and character development, entwining with The Coven in a good mess. The sequel of this episode is unpredictable, and it is impossible to foresee what will happen. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Forbidden Fruit"

In this episode of AHS: Apocalypse, we really see the true plot of this story start to unravel. From start to finish the episode keeps you on the edge of your seat with that looming question that I, like most fans of the series have. That question is, how the hell do the witches come into play?!? I've made several theories and it's all starting to make sense. Original fans of the first and third season will be as delighted as I am of how this one is shaping out to be.

I can see this is the episode of Season 8 where people started getting back into the show; personally, for me, the first two episodes involving all of those irritated people sitting around doing nothing are the best of the season... it's something about the end of the world and having nothing to do but learn as you go, that kind of thing...

This is a good episode, however, and it's also the time when things start to narrow into a destination of where the season is going... however, one "connection" must be noted because it seems this website won't allow it, but...

When Kathy Bates's character is having her memory of fighting inside the kitchen into the living room, it's right out of Kill Bill Volume 1 when The Bride is fighting Copperhead in the kitchen... it's not only homage but practically shot-by-shot, but... not everyone can see everything like some of us who have seen enough movies to know... anyhow...

Of course there are only 2 seasons of this show that I have not seen and Coven happens to be one of them. Leave it to that season to get the crossover event. Guess I have to binge an entire season before the next episode. Good episode though.

This episode is THE episode that will bring back a huge chunk of the fan base from previous seasons. There is a lot of character development from Mallory, Langdon, Dinah, Ms. Mead, Venable, and Brock. Coco is sadly still stale as a character and still very much annoying BUT something tells me she might pull a 180 soon.

Langdon easily feels as threatening as Frances Conroy's Angel of Death character in Asylum and not like a Twilight vampire like I previously reviewed. We also get some action going on this episode with a faux flashback sequence by one of the characters which gave me Kill Bill vibes. Copperhead vs Black Mamba anyone?

Be warned though everything is changing this episode. Something wicked this way comes.

After giving the first episode an abysmal review and a 3 rating followed by a 6 for the second episode it feels like this season will continue getting better.
