Traitor

Is how Mallory defeats Michael. It's painfully obvious how this will end. Every episode between now and the finale is just filler. They gave away the ending weeks ago by showing how powerful Mallory is. They might as well just do the finale next week. If you remember Coven and Cult, when there's a battle of the sexes in AHS, the women win.

There was nothing overtly bad here, but nothing good either. This episode was just plain. Seeing the reappearance of Nan was definitely interesting, but on the other hand, Grossman is still the worst and most annoying character ever. Finally, we get an explanation of how Myrtle came back to life, taking way too long to explain. Also why is she vaping? Is that needed? As of this episode, we now have more episodes of flashback than of the present, after the apocalypse, which this season is subtitled. I have a bad feeling that the last episode or two will be dedicated to the events after episode 3 when the flashback started, and will wrap up the season too hastily. We shall see.

This season might run into multiple problems wrapping up the stories. We are reaching the closing episodes of this season, and yet we are still caught up in season 3,1 and some pre-apocalypse adventures. I would really enjoy watching cordelia, zoe, madison, and others roaming about on my screen, but there are also parts like Ms. Venable, Mr Gallant, Emily, Timothy and others in apocalypse that I feel are completely forgotten. There were so many half-baked stories in the first 3 episodes that I feel are going to waste.

What is evident is that we have only 3 episodes to wrap up a story containing 3 very different seasons, and as the past coven/murder house episodes indicate, I highly doubt the writers dedicated enough time to fully appreciate apocalypse. I hope they don't wrap up this season, or leave it for another season. There were extremely interesting possibilities for a post-apocalypse show.

As Cordelia breaks boundaries the show shines again as more and more of the coven show up. I love the ladies showing their awesome skills. Nice to have more of the witches on. I think we will be really jazzed for the next few episodes as I'm on the edge of my favorite eazy sleazy-chair recliner waiting waiting waiting! Great balance in this episode. See ya all in the funny papers!

Definitely a filler episode, as in it filled the blanks and felt natural. Downside is it didn't hold my attention 100% so if you're easily distracted keep that in mind.
