    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Originally there was a sex scene between Madison (Emma Roberts) and Spalding (Denis O'Hare) after she confronted him about keeping her as a doll. The scene was filmed but eventually cut.
    • Goofs
      When little Fiona throws milk at the other girl she completely misses her, but as the the camera changes, her dress is soaking in milk.
    • Quotes

      Madison Montgomery: I am a millennial. Generation Y. Born between the birth of AIDS and 9/11, give or take. They call us the Global Generation. We are known for our entitlement and narcissism. Some say it's because we're the first generation where a kid gets a trophy just for showing up. Others think it's because social media allows us to post every time we fart or have a sandwich for all the world to see. But it seems that our one defining trait is a numbness to the world, an indifference to suffering.

    8/10
    mostly good episode
    I enjoyedmost of the episode, the weak point is the whole romance with the axeman like what the hell, when AHS mixes real people with made up stories that never happened to them its really weak writing like the whole Nazi Anne frank sub plot in asylum, unfortunately AHS has used this in most seasons its a habit Ryan Murphy and co should abandon
