He managed to shoot with the makeup, using shadows and light to really add to the character’s frightening appearance, without making Beau into a monster. He had one of the toughest characters to handle this week in the form of Beau, Constance’s third child. I have to give a lot of credit to director Tim Hunter, too. There wasn’t a real stand-out Emmy bait speech this week, but the interactons between the characters were really well-done this might be one of the best ensemble dramas on television, and this week is Denis O’Hare’s week to take the lead, both as crispy-faced Larry and as pre-fried Larry. The fact that this episode had Larry interacting with everyone from Constance to Ben (in a very good scene) to Vivien and Marcy (in probably the funniest scene of the show) is a benefit.īrad Falchuk took over writing duties this week, and he answered a whole lot of questions for the show’s fans, laid out a lot of back story, weaved the characters more tightly together, and even managed to add a little more of that familiar weird sexuality back to the show after a few weeks of sexless weirdness.

We also get our first hint at just what the thing in the basement is, shortly before we see how the Montgomery family meets their end. There’s a lot of Tate and Violet bonding this week, with Tate introducing Violet to his brother Beau before showing her some of the secret goodies he’s found in the attic, namely some keepsakes from the home’s original owners, Nora and Charles Montgomery. She’s cutting herself again, until Tate stops her and makes her promise not to hurt herself anymore. Meanwhile, Violet is getting further into her depression. It goes without saying that Constance hates this idea, and she is not a woman to be crossed. Vivien gets to leave the house behind and Moira gets to get her grave dug up in the pool-making process, which will a) get her put into a decent grave and give her freedom and b) will get Constance thrown in jail for murder.

Sure he tells Vivien and Moira that he wants to put in a pool in the backyard and move in, which sounds like the answer to everyone’s prayers. Not that his ethnicity really matters, as he’s got plans for the house. Unfortunately, said interested buyer doesn’t know what’s in the attic.Įveryone thinks he’s persian, but he’s actually Armenian. The house is back on the market under the care of Marcy the real estate agent, and for once, there’s an interested buyer. As for Murder House, the Harmons have decided to divest themselves of it, post-haste. The future of their family is that their family will have no future, as Ben and Viv are going to (probably) get divorced.
