![]() Since the beginning of the season, I wasn't really a fan of the modern- day story, and when it came full circle with a 7. Lana Winters prepping for an interview, I was ready to dislike it. However, and although it wasn't nearly are great as the first season's, this finale was surprisingly heartfelt and satisfying. Excuse me for a lack of details as I only got a chance to watch the episode once the night of, so this recap is purely based from memory. But at least I had a chance to sleep on it and I feel better about the episode. I just needed the time to think about it and mull over what happened. So, present- day Lana has six bestsellers under her belt and is about to be honored at the Kennedy Center for her prolific journalistic work. This interview is the foundation for the episode, as it's told mostly through flashbacks. Lana asks for a glass of sparkling water and who hands it to her but her own son, Johnny. We learn that after Alma died, Kit started visiting Jude at Briarcliff and brought her back to life, so to speak. Seeing how he helped her was heartwarming, especially the shot with him putting his arm around her. He ended up taking her home with him and she helped raise his alien kids, who are blessed with some sort of power that brings sanity to those who are crazy. When Jude was becoming delusional, thinking she was back at Briarcliff, Kit's children took her by the hand into the woods, where they probably smoked some pot. I'm guessing that's what brought Jude back to her senses. Yeah, that's totally it. Everything was great at the Walker residence. The children loved Jude and she loved them in return. ![]() Unfortunately, after six months of bliss and swing dancing, she got sick and passed away. The scene with The Angel of Death (Frances Conroy) was beautifully shot, and I just sat there watching with my eyes wide open, filling up with tears. I know she's a fictional character, but I'm just glad she got her happiness in the end. Kit remarried later, his kids went on to become a big shot lawyer and neurosurgeon, and when he was about to die from pancreatic cancer, the aliens took him back. I'm glad one of the monsters this season was good. We can all agree that the aliens were benevolent? During her interview, Lana came clean regarding her child. For 4. 0 years, she had claimed that the child died during birth, but now she admitted that she gave it up for adoption and it was still alive. After the interview concludes and the crew leaves, Lana pours two drinks. One for her and one for Johnny, who she had known was her son the entire time after the police had warned her that he was in fact a murderer. Maybe I missed it, but how exactly did the police connect Johnny to Lana again? The dialogue between Lana and Johnny was pretty fantastic. There was absolutely no way that he was going to kill her and that the episode could only end with his demise, but it was still exciting to see it played out. In his final moments, she gave him what he wanted and that was genuine (at least to him) motherly love. But then she turned the gun on him and shoots him point black in the head, practically mimicking Thredson's death. The final scene, a flashback to when Lana and Jude first met, was cute, albeit head- scratching. This season felt more like Lana's story rather than Jude's, so ending on Jude seemed a little strange. I didn't mind it, as the more Jessica Lange the better, but it didn't really pack any punch for me. Lange's delivery of the line, . I'm glad that there wasn't a cliffhanger this season like there was last season (with the demon child). I feel content with moving on, leaving these characters behind and moving onto the next macabre story. Until October, you guys. Stray Observations: The documentary- style storytelling was probably my favorite part of the episode. It made everything seem that much more authentic and grotesque. Johnny bought a tape of Lana yelling at Thredson, threatening to kill their baby, ON EBAY. That's the craziest thing I've heard all season. Did Sarah Paulson look great this episode or did she look great? In the scene where she helps young Johnny when he's being bullied, she looked phenomenal. Who's doing hair and makeup? Can we get them an Emmy? Joseph Fiennes' character never really seemed that important, so I was just like, ? American Horror Story producers finally explain what was up with the aliens.

Let's just hope the house has an endless supply of diapers. STORY: 'American Horror Story': 5 Things Learned From 'Birth'3. Who's the daddy?

Ben ignores a stern plea from Constance to take the baby and never set foot in the house again, while Vivien decides to ignore her own advice and reveal herself to Ben in an effort to save his life. Ultimately, after blaming Constance for all the tragedies that have befallen his family, it was her he should have listened to. Why does Rubber Man return and who's wearing the suit now that Vivien and Violet know it was Tate who originally wore it? Surely the buff promo photoisn't Tate, right? It's Ben in the Rubber Man suit this time. After realizing that the Ramos family who move in are planning to have a baby of their own, Vivien, Ben and Moira rally the good ghosts in the joint to scare the living daylights out of them - - and essentially re- enact the torment that the Harmons experienced in the pilot. How do you get rid of the undead? But we do know how the house will get rid of new, living residents. How will Moira play a role? She has a history with Constance after being trapped in the house at her hands and is still loyal to the home.

A lonely Tate continues his quest for redemption, and turns to Ben, who says he can't absolve him of any of the atrocities he's committed.

The Feds, still suspicious of Constance for her role in Travis' disappearance and proximity to all the bizarre events of the Murder House, pay her a visit.

In one of the SAG and Golden Globe- nominated Jessica Lange's best monologues, she says that all of her losses that came before prepared her for the child. What's frightening enough to get an already dead Vivien to run screaming through the house? While it isn't definitive, our money is on Vivien as she and the friendly ghosts tormented the new lady of the house Stacey Ramos in an effort to get her to run (screaming) from the property. Will Charles and Nora's sewn together child Thaddeus, aka the Infantada, rear its fanged head in a bid for a normal mother? Unless we missed it during all the insanity, no.
