Storyline

Edit

Ben is now living elsewhere but still meets patients in the house as they can't afford anything else. It doesn't sit well with Vivien who would like him to just go away. Ben's latest patient is someone who thinks he can conjure up an urban legend, a killer with the head of a pig. Vivien has an amnio and traces the technician who did her first ultra sound. She scoffs at what she hears. Moira tells Vivien what she thinks about her marriage and Vivien asks her to leave. Violet meanwhile learns of a massacre at her high school in 1994 and Tate's role in it. She also learns about Tate's mother. —garykmcd

Trivia
Derrick's bathroom was also used on Beverly Hills, 90210 as Brandon & Brenda Walsh's jack-and-jill bathroom, however the second sink is not seen here.

Goofs
In episode 5, when Stephanie Boggs is speaking to Tate, she tells him that before he killed her, he asked if she believed in God. She says that she told him yes, which "wasn't even true." In this episode during the flashback to Tate's shooting, he does not speak to her, or to any of his victims.

Quotes
Tate: I like birds, too.
Violet Harmon: Why do you like them?
Tate: Because they can fly away when things get too crazy, I guess.

Tate did what?

Another fantastic episode that showcases the sweet but clearing damaged and dark teenager Tate played wonderfully by Evan peters in this really well written episode that focused on Tate and what dark mistakes he's made , the acting was amazing and it was quite a dark episode with quite a few revelations
