Instead, two of the most interesting people this season are dispatched by relative strangers in the penultimate episode.

IsRatchedsaying something about the violent unpredictability of life?

That may be giving it too much credit.

Petunia the monkey arguably steals an episode that starts in 1943 at Dr. Banagas divorce hearing.

Hanover is a tough character to decipher in terms of audience loyalty.

She claims she killed people who just wanted to die, but Betsy calls out that nonsense.

Nursessavepeople who want to die.

But Mildred was nice to Betsy during the dance, so all cool.

Again, logic doesnt have to be a strength, but there should besomeof it.

Mildred and Betsy decide to team up to overthrow Dr. Hanover.

Betsy goes to the doc and tells him that hes been dismissed.

They know everything about his background, and the police have been made aware of his identity.

When the cops knock on the door, Hanover pushes Charlotte in the closet, triggering an episode.

Charlotte goes in but the angry Ondine comes out and starts beating on Hanover.

She then shifts again, calling Hanover Adolf Hitler and stabbing him over and over again.

The thrust of the scene is that Mildred finally realizes that she may not be able to save Edmund.

He cant be saved.

They say they love each other.

Extra Dosage

Line of the episode: You love your monkey more than you love me.

Can you blame her?

I honestly hope Murphy brings her into theAHSworld and gives her something really juicy to sink her teeth into.
