Okay, picture this: it's Tuesday night, and you're glued to your screen for American Horror Story. Episode 7 of Season 10, "Gaslight," just aired, and whoa boy, things got weird. Like, even for AHS standards, weird.
Mickey's Big Break (or Break Down?)
Remember Mickey? The hustler with dreams of Hollywood stardom? Well, he finally gets his chance to shine, or at least be in the background of a glamorous party. Turns out, fame isn't all it's cracked up to be when you're sharing blood vials with a bunch of vampiric socialites.
His big acting debut? Let's just say it involves more screaming than Shakespeare. Poor guy's Hollywood dream quickly turns into a Hollywood nightmare.
Belle Noir: Fashion Icon or Bloodsucking Nightmare?
Belle Noir, the writer with a taste for… well, blood, is really coming into her own as a villain. She’s serving looks while also serving...dishes. Dishes of the crimson variety, that is!
This episode confirmed she's truly embraced her dark side, using her influence to keep the pills flowing and the bodies dropping. Talk about commitment to the bit!
Alma: Tiny Talent, Big Trouble
Alma, the violin prodigy turned tiny terror, is showing everyone who's boss. Turns out a taste for the dark pills fuels a taste for *more*. And she's not afraid to take it!
She's writing her own music and her own rules, and those rules involve a whole lot of screaming and tantrums. Turns out child stars are difficult even when they're vampires.
Harry's Descent (or Ascent?)
Oh, Harry. The screenwriter. He's fully embracing the pale life now, fueled by blood and inspiration. His movie is becoming a reality, but at what cost?
Watching him navigate the moral complexities (or lack thereof) is like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You know it's bad, but you just can't look away.
Karen's Crusade
Karen, our pregnant painter friend, is having a tough time of it. She's the only one seemingly clinging to her morality. Bless her heart! She tries to warn everyone, and, well, nobody listens.
She knows that there’s danger, but no one believes her, that’s a bummer. This makes her a martyr, or at least the only one with a functioning conscience.
The Chemist's Masterplan
The Chemist's motivations are becoming clearer. She's not just in it for the money; she genuinely believes she's unlocking human potential. Scary, right?
She’s like a twisted scientist with a god complex, and she's got everyone hooked on her little red pills. This can not end well!
Gaslight: The Verdict
Episode 7 was a wild ride, full of campy thrills and plenty of blood. American Horror Story delivers what we expect, shock, horror, and a touch of humor. It's the perfect blend of grotesque and glamorous, leaving us eager for what's next.
If you enjoy watching morally questionable characters make terrible choices, then this episode was the episode for you. Get your popcorn and brace yourself, because this season of AHS is only getting started!
