RELATED STORIES

As promised, Wednesday’s episode of American Horror Story: 1984 revealed how Montana and Richard first crossed paths, however in true AHS style, it additionally revealed a lot extra. (Arguably an excessive amount of, relying on how you’re feeling about toes.)

The origin of this unlikely pairing is definitely pretty easy; Richard wandered into one among Montana’s coke-fueled aerobics lessons, instantly bonded over their shared love of lethal knives, then murdered one among her college students as a result of, as he defined it, “I didn’t like the way he was talking to you.”

A traditional particular person could be appalled — horrified, even — by this mindless act of violence. But not Montana. “That’s probably the most f–ked up factor anybody has ever finished for me,” she stated. “That’s so hot.” Richard, naturally, took this as an invite to lick Montana’s bloody toes, which she additionally appeared to take pleasure in fairly a bit.

Then got here some bloody pillow speak, throughout which Montana requested Richard to kill Brooke as a result of — watch for it — her brother was the very best man at Brooke and Joey’s marriage ceremony! “I know Brooke f–ked my brother and lied,” Montana stated. “Why does she get to live while he’s gone?”

With these blanks sufficiently stuffed in, we returned to present-day Camp Redwood, the place Montana and Richard had been scrambling to trace down Brooke and seashore Mr. Jingles to the punch. They ended up discovering her at the very same time, which was lucky for Brooke, because it allowed her to flee whereas Richard and Jingles fought to the loss of life. (Well, they fought to Richard’s loss of life, which got here courtesy of a tree department by the top.)

Earlier within the hour, Mr. Jingles paid a go to to the eating corridor, the place Xavier obtained Hansel and Gretel’d (aka locked in an oven). And not like the intercourse tape he filmed for Blake, it was not a fairly image. Chef Bertie, one other of Jingles’ victims, used her final ounce of power to free Xavier from his pre-heated loss of life entice, a favor he repaid by jamming a knife straight into her coronary heart. (On this present, a merciful loss of life continues to be thought of a win.)

The subsequent game-changing — if considerably predictable — reveal got here throughout Jingles’ long-awaited reunion with Margaret. We discovered by a sequence of flashbacks that Margaret and “Benji” had been fairly chummy again in 1970; he even carved her a little picket bear and promised to guard her. But when he did not hold the opposite counselors from bullying Margaret, she took issues into her personal palms, killing all of them and blaming it on her beloved Benji.

Jingles’ response to this confession was easy: “F–k you, Margaret. I am the monster that you made me!” He lunged for her, however everyone knows that this glamorous lunatic is packing warmth, so Mr. Jingles was lifeless on the ground earlier than he might make good on his risk. (Spoiler alert: Jingles truly survived being shot, and he managed to sneak away whereas this subsequent little bit of nonsense was taking place.)

Enter Trevor, who was ecstatic to find that Margaret had taken care of Jingles… till she knifed him within the abdomen, amongst different very important organs. “God has given me the strength to accept my true self,” Margaret declared earlier than dumping Trevor’s physique into a automotive and lighting it on freaking fireplace. Ladies and gentleman, this girl is much more insane than all of us assumed.

And talking of insane, Rita — excuse me, Donna Chambers — regained consciousness within the woods simply in time to witness Richard coming back from the lifeless. Floating physique, soulless black eyes, the entire 9 yards. You know, stuff you see within the woods!
