As with the first episode I watched of "American Horror Story" there was several things going on in this episode, that I didn't understand. previous plots came to an end as I was watching people been murdered and tortured with very little reason as to what they actually done (if anything) to deserve such treatment. I only watched the previous episode as a TV spot revealed the always brilliant Neil Patrick Harris had a guest spot, and since that episode ended with his travelling salesman/ventriloquist/wannabe magician purchasing the freak show, I tuned in again to the next episode.
Plot In A Paragraph: Dandy gives the Twins his information about Chester, who continues to unravel. The Freaks enforce their harsh code of justice.
The Chester (Neil Patrick Harris) storyline was easy enough to follow, as he is a new character, but I was a bit lost at times, and I'm not sure how the what Elsa did in her last scene will play out, in relation to her deal with Chester. However it certainly is compelling TV that I intend to check out from the beginning sometime soon.

S4.E12 - Dandy The New Owner [9/10]

Warning: Spoilers
(S4. E12) My Live Reaction / Review for American Horror Story Season 4 Episode 12 ''Show Stoppers''. The previous episode was good and I gave it a rating of 9/10. Let's see if this one is better or worse. It's time for Stanley to pay for his sins, hell yeah. The ''freaks'' vs Elsa? Now that's something I wanna see. I don't see how getting new fake hands could help Jimmy. Chester killed Maggie? What the hell? That's so sad, I didn't want Maggie to die. I didn't expect that the twins would tell Elsa that she needs to leave if she wants to live. Dandy is the new owner of the freak show? That's funny. Overall this episode was good, my rating is 9/10.
