There would be no American Horror Story without that latex voodoo courting that begin it all during Murder House — and the unsettling garment made a shocking return to the dealership on this week ’s installment of Apocalypse .
WhileAmerican Horror Story : Apocalypse is jell toreintroduce a number of familiar character from both Murder House and Coven , the show been taking its time to bring them back in favour of establishing a raw stamp of miscreants .
Set in an apocalyptic near future ( 2019 , to be exact ) where World War III has decimated humanity and left much of the open existence in ruins , Book of Revelation open on a grouping of survivors living in an belowground trap under the watchful eyes of two sadistic mistresses : Wilhelmina Venable ( Sarah Paulson ) and Miriam Mead ( Kathy Bates ) . In summation to strictly ascertain their fellow survivors ’ social lives and daily habits , Wilhelmina and Miriam implement a brutal code proscribe anyone from any sort of sexual doings — which , if fracture , result in the mired parties being expelled from the bunker out into the toxic airfoil , where they ’ll conk out of vulnerability to nuclear radiation .
This salute something of a problem for Mr. Gallant ( Evan Peters ) , a former hairstylist to the deep and famous who now finds himself snare in the bunker alongside his grandmother Evie ( Joan Collins ) and the genuine Antichrist Michael Langdon ( Cody Fern ) , the latter of whom made his first visual aspect as a infant in Murder House .

Like any once sexually - active adult living in the end times , Mr. Gallant ’s situation is far from ideal , get a line as how there ’s a solid chance he ’ll never have sexual activity again — especially reckon that he ’s one of the last gay men awake . But , in this hebdomad ’s episode , Gallant is taken aback when someone shows up at his bedroom room access wearing a full - physical structure rubber-base paint case and makes quick work of pinning him to the bed to get down to business .
Of of course , this is a direct violation of Wilhelmina and Miriam ’s rule , but Gallant enthusiastically get going against them , assuming that it ’s Michael beneath the latex mask . But this is American Horror Story and things are never what they appear . unbeknown to Gallant , his grandma witness his late night rendezvous through a fracture in his door ; reasoning that his extrusion from the trap up the odds of her surviving the dugout and being opt to leave for a long - rumored dependable geographical zone , she decides to snitch to the ability that be .
After Gallant is whipped and tortured for his indiscretion — something he discover pleasurable — he ’s , peculiarly , earmark to stay in the bunke . When he inform Michael that he turn down to tell on on him , Michael turns the tables and tells Gallant that he never was not the person hold out the courtship . This follows the American Horror Story tradition of using masses in latex paint suits to misdirect characters and audience about who ’s boning who , but Apocalypse up the ante in the most distressing of manner by bringing Gallant and his ally with benefit back together one last time .
Just as it seems as if Gallant and the suit - wearer are about to break once more , Gallant pulls out a pair of scissors and vindictively stabs the other person before learning their identity . It’s … not Michael , precisely , but rather it ’s Gallant ’s grandmother , because of track it is . The implication is that Michael is somehow send off the picture of the soul in latex paint into Gallant ’s creative thinker and using the illusion to compel him to murder his dear previous nana which , to be fair , is the sort of thing the Antichrist would do .
There were any number of ways that Apocalypse could have begin to tie itself back to the already convoluted story Murder House start seven years ago . But this….well , it ’s definitely a move out of left field , and a promising jot that this season might just be the franchise ’s most messed up yet .
