    Jesus Can't Save You
    Ben has a new patient, Bianca, who tells a dreadful nightmare where she is cut in half by an elevator. Bianca is curious about the house and the murders that had happened there. Ben receives a phone call from his former affair that tells that she is pregnant. Ben is forced to travel to Boston and he lies to Vivien about the objective of his trip.

    Meanwhile Bianca and two friends break in the house to recreate a murder that happened in 1968, threatening Vivien and Violet.

    "Home Invasion" is the second episode of "American Horror Story" with a decent ghost story and nothing else. My vote is seven.

    Title (Brazil) : "Home Invasion"

    Note: On 11 April 2017 I saw this episode again.
