American Horror Story Coven - Episode 7: The Dead

SPOILERS


What kind of tattoo parlor plays Toto?  I guess the kind that a bunch of douchy fratboys go to and get lame Chinese tattoos.  Or a shamrock that winds up on Kyle because he's got his friend's arm.  And that lame Chinese tattoo.  I'd cry, too.  Even reanimated monsters deserve better ink.  Or... a bullet to the brain.  Damn, Zoey.  That's cold.  I mean... yeah, she shouldn't have brought him back in the first place, but he's like her puppy now.  That's what happens when you decide to listen to the Linsday Lohan of this universe and piece together a boy you met at a party for like an hour.

And, we go to Madison - another person that Zoey fucked up by bringing back from the dead.  She can't feel anything, not pain or hunger.  She can't feel anything that made her human, and it's making her go crazy.

Queenie and Delphine decide to hit a burger joint in the middle of the night.  As a not-so-skinny girl myself, I definitely can sympathize with wanting a Quarter Pounder in the middle of the night.  While Delphine is chowing down, Cordelia gets a phone call from her loving Witch-Hunter husband, who Just Calllleeedd To Sayyyy... I Love You!  And I'm bringing a fucking arsenal to your house to kill you and salt the earth.

Cordelia goes searching for her wayward immortal racist, she runs into Madison, and she sees how she died.  Whoops to Fiona.  That would be the worst thing that happened to Fiona tonight... if she weren't on a date with an undead serial killer, and his bathtub o' carnage.  He does a very good job at seduction for a guy who's been dead for a hundred years.  Charm is charm.  Once you go undead, you don't go back.  It's lightbulb exploding good.

Zoey is trying to teach Kyle to communicate, but he's obviously frustrated.  Madison and Kyle bond about both being dead then alive.  Hey, join the club.  That's kind of going around in this show.  Other bonding is happening when Queenie goes to visit Marie.  God, I could stare at Angela Bassett's face for hours.  Marie sows the seeds that the others aren't welcoming of Queenie because she's black, and Marie offers her a home.  The price?  LaLaurie.

Cordelia calls Zoey to her room, and warns her that she saw the truth of Madison's death.  She knows that Zoey has a target on her back if word gets out that she's the next Supreme, so Cordelia comes up with the plan to kill her mother.  Sheeeeeeet.

Fiona wakes up with the Axe-Man, and she knows about his dead body, and he knows oh so more, because he's been watching her since she was 8.  So he's a ghost serial killer and a total Creepy McCreeper, watching her undress all the time.  Which apparently turns Fiona on for a second.  Then she realizes how fucking *creepy* it really is.

And we visit the other Creeper.  I don't know who is creepier, Spalding or the Axe-Man.  Probably Spalding.  Hey, Spalding can talk.  Thanks to Zoey.  Of course, now that he has his tongue, he can't lie.  Bad for Fiona.  Maybe she shouldn't have thrown away her ghost boyfriend so quickly - enemies are coming out of the woodwork.  Zoey kills him after he gives everything up.  Okay, she's rivaling Fiona in the ruthless category.  She may have been a little pissed about Madison and Kyle.

Queenie goes to visit Delphine, Marie's words on her mind.  She asks Delphine what the worst thing she's ever done is, and it's pretty terrible.  One of her slaves had a baby that turned out to be her husband's bastard, and she used the baby for her blood facial.  The mother threw herself from a balcony in grief (so Delphine says...)  I'm pretty sure that this means Delphine will be taking a trip to a Ninth Ward hair salon.  It's actually kind of sad when Queenie brings her down there.  She's so *horrible*, but Kathy Bates is so fucking good that you can't help but want someone to come and save her.

Zoey's in the shower washing Spalding's blood off, and Madison comes all up on her in the shower like she thinks she's Kyle's mom or something.  And it seems forgotten that she was mad about Madison fucking her Frankenstein's creature, because they wind up in a reanimated threesome, Mother Frankenstein and her babies.  WHY did it cut away??????????????????????  Damn you and your cock-blocking, FX!!

Fiona considers shaving her head because her hair's just falling out anyway, but the ghostly wail of a sax stops her.  And she winds up going to meet up with her stalker again.  He's so damn creepy, but charming at the same time, thanks to Danny Huston.  There isn't really a weak link as far as actors go on this show.

And the show ends with Marie painting her face with blood, saying 'beautiful'.  Really Angela, you're one of the most beautiful women I've ever SEEN.  Blood is wholly unnecessary.  We're led to believe it's LaLaurie's blood, but... I don't trust this show.  In my gut, I actually wonder if it's Queenie's.
