Total cray cray. I still have no clue what the hell is going on besides 1) Satan revealing himself to sister Jude, and 2) Sister Jude coming to terms with her life.
Oh shit, what a twist.

Oh it's not that hard to get now. Think of common tv tropes, what the writers have been hinting at and where the story would organically go.
If you're still confused type out what is confusing you and I'm sure you'll get enlightened in this thread.

So much awesome going on up in this shit...

? I have this very VERY bizarre sneaking suspicion about why that is, which I won't ruin, cuz it'd be epic if it came true. Like, crazier than any of the shit that's already happened.

Jude got her "calling" from the angel of death herself.

So yeah...that was an insane hour of television. It was also just slightly confusing. So, the angel of death is visiting the inmates who wish to die, but only because she was first summoned by the suicidal dude? But later in the episode, they made it seem like she just randomly appears to anyone who wants to die, regardless of "being summoned". If that's the case, then why was Sister Mary Eunice asking "Who wrote this? Who summoned her?!" If the angel of death visiting people is commonplace, why would SME be worried or surprised? Also, why didn't the angel appear to Shelley?
Anyway, let's see:
Lana escaped Bloody Face (but didn't kill him for some reason...) but is now back in the asylum.
Kit injured/killed a cop and escaped custody, only to go back to the asylum to rescue Grace, which lead to a fight with one of the manimals and Grace's death not to mention he's captured again, though this time Lana and Mary Eunice know that he's innocent.
We find out that Grace received a hysterectomy from the aliens, and then later dies after taking a bullet for Kit. I'm guessing that the aliens are going to put Grace's uterus inside Sister Jude, thus giving her the ability to have children, which is something that she desperately wants.
Also, Sister Jude didn't really kill the little girl at all. but my mind is too full of fuck to reason out what/how/why.

This was indeed confusing-not sure I understood the scene between the Angel of Death and Satan...

First, it's probably not the Devil. Just a fallen angel, despite what it may have said in the past. Second that little stand off was just two otherworldly creatures being a bit wary of each other. Kind of like two dogs encountering each other and deciding a fight wasn't exactly worth it.

Gotta admit I never saw the twist about the girl hit the car coming.
Also-the rape scene was just completely fucking disturbing-but I'm sure we all know what the point of that scene is.

I assumed familiarity with the angel of death to be a deeper transcendental understanding that all beings have with "the other side".

Zachary Quinto could play Bigfoot. Wouldn't even need to put on a costume.
that man's hair sleeves rival Robin Williams!

It really was.
RIP Grace
Kit going back to the asylum was bad ass.
A shame that Lana continues to be such an unlikeable and idiotic character. She could have killed Bloody Face so easily. I find it really hard to be sympathetic to her various plights.
Angel of Death is my new favorite character.

I lol'd when Lana ended up in the car of some reddit MRA.

That was awesome. So much crazy stuff packed in one episode. I hope Frances Conroy's angel of death is there with her amazing black wings in my final moments.

Crazy ass episode, loved it.
But i can't fell sorry for lana, she was immensely stupid not killing bloddy face when she had the chance, , and if she did, she wouldn't have to run straight into the car of another psycho XD

Yep. She could have just walked upstairs and called the police. I know that wouldn't make for a stereotypical horror plot, but still.
Hell if she hadn't narc'ed on Kit way back when, she, Grace and Kit could be 500 miles away from that place by now...

Not to mention she was in a basement that had a ton of murderous murder weapons to finish the job. But I guess they have to extend the crazy.
My wife is a total AMHS fangirl and while I enjoyed the first season I didn't like it nearly as much as she did. I found many of the characters to be far too annoying, though the show did have some really cool moments. So far season 2 is totally blowing it away, imo they really improved the show and it is going in the right direction (crazy).
I enjoyed last nights episode but, not sure if Im alone on this but the episode felt a bit rushed, almost like there were too many plot lines going on and then they had to fit Frances Conroy's character in as well ( no complaints tho <3 FC).
For a second there I really thought that

I was actually really impressed with the effects of her wings popping out. It looked great.

This show needs more aliens. I want to see Dr. Arden get abducted.

It really did look awesome.
This show just doesn't disappoint. Really challenging Boardwalk imo to be the best show on tv at the moment.
Was great to see the maid from season 1 return as the angel of death. Some great scenes involving her, but once again Lange steals the show. Her scene in the cafe talking about every time she was on the verge of wanting out was powerful stuff.
Great ending, really want to know what that weird flash was right before the credits.

Would be cool if American Horror focused on asylum for S1 and 2, instead of that godawful trainwreck family.
Agreed. The first was camp horror but i enjoyed the Tate storyline. This is much darker and moreconsistent.

The start of this episode felt really strange with our first real look at the nice nuns in the Asylum. I didn't know any existed in that place. Also, I noticed the guard's empathy towards the black patient.
It almost seems as if the writers tried to show that not everyone in season 2 are complete shits.

This show is getting frustrating to watch. Not because I think this season has been bad, far from it. But Briar(?) Cliff is beginning to feel like god damn Gilligan's Island. Just when I think these people finally make it off the island they end up right back where they started.
Watching Lana's ordeal was what brought that thought home. I'm thinking WTF, how much worse can things get for her? She escapes the asylum, then escapes Dr. Thredson only to get into a car with a suicidal man ready to take his life (and did).
The stand off between Sister Eunice and the Angel of Death was very cool. Very surprised to see the little girl Jude ran over with her car was still alive. I'm sure that was a big relief to her even though she was about to come clean.
And yeah, might as well give the Emmy to Lange now.

Them slicing open her stomach?
Well that was a few episodes ago in the one where she got abducted. I think that combined with Arden having no knowledge of any procedure being done certainly suggests it was the aliens.
Same here! Ruth forever damn it!As a big fan of SFU this episode is easily my favorite.
I hope this angel of death comes back later on.

The real identity of the modern day Bloody Face is getting openly spoiled on several entertainment websites, as well as the actor/actress confirming it on Twitter.
Fuck. :/
Fuck. :/
I wouldn't be surprised if it's a twist like Season 1's. Total fake out.

Just saw that.
I can't really express much regret at having it spoiled when I can't even say I legitimately like this show.

So we got:
Aliens
Robot Alien Creatures
Nazis
Satan (or a Hell demon of sorts)
Death
Serial Killers
Amputee Monsters
All we need are:
Vampires
Werewolves
Zombies
Pirates
Ninjas
This season is ridiculous. Some good episodes, but they're trying to do too much and its losing direction/appeal for me.
I really liked Death though.
