Wednesday's American Horror Story Season 4 Episode 10 served as the (Freak) show's fall finale, and "Orphans" ran over an hour to deliver its climactic scenes.
What questions did it pose, and answer, heading into 2015?
Of course, the American Horror Story Season 4 Episode 10 overrun didn't reveal much in terms of advancing the story, so if your DVR cut it off, you're good!
In reality, Desiree spotting Jimmy's claws at the Museum of Morbidity was pretty much the clincher in terms of plot, while the extra time was ... extra.
Great stuff for fans, but far from essential for continuity's sake.
The last 10 minutes revealed the fate of Pepper years after Elsa took her back to her sister, and how she didn't really kill or maim her own brother after all.
It was a one-off American Horror Story short, in a sense.
The Life magazine cover featuring Elsa as a TV star was intriguing, too. Does this mean she survives, and thrives, in a future timeline beyond Freak Show?
Was her intense, visceral need to rise beyond the monsters she had cared for something that propelled this rise to fame, or did this happen in spite of it?
Questions for another time.
Maggie also occupied a whole lot of screen time this week, and if you watch American Horror Story online, you know she isn't its strongest character.
She's drinking now, and the idea of Desiree being happy with her new man caused her to eventually break down and admit that she's a con artist.
Elsewhere, we saw ...
- Flashbacks to Stanley and Maggie's origins
- Elsa recounting how she reared Pepper
- The utter shock of seeing Jimmy's hands
- Pepper being committed to Briarcliff
- Lily Rabe's Sister Mary returning
What remains to be seen is what, if anything, will carry over from Briarcliff into next season, or whether the door is closed on this crazy carny chapter.
With Asylum and Freak Show now having a direct connection in the form of the aforementioned character, this could go in any number of directions.
