Kai is targeting Ally at her most vulnerable. Kai adopts a sympathetic approach to her plight, reassuring her that she was simply acting in self-defence and that she was right to be scared. She has become the victim of those left-wing protestors who she might have once supported. With this sort of knowledge and power, he is a prime suspect.īut it is the repercussions of Ally’s accidental shooting of Pedro last week that is the main focus in episode 3. He also has the complete trust of a number of patients who regularly bare their souls and weaknesses to him. He, along with Kai, is one of the only characters to display a psychological understanding of fear. It is starting to look increasingly likely that Dr Rudy is more than just a humble psychiatrist. Arriving home, this woman and her husband are forced into locked coffins by home invaders dressed as… yep. While we begin with Dr Rudy Vincent helping an unknown woman conquer her fear of coffins, it isn’t long until we are given our first terrifying death of the episode. But at least where last week dragged us through repetitive horror tropes, this week’s ‘Neighbours from Hell’ treated us to some engaging developments.

So many questions, and even at this point we still have so few answers. Is Kai really the main leader of the cult? How involved is Winter? Does Doctor Rudy have something to with the events? Does Ivy? Is everyone teaming up to play an extremely elaborate hoax on Ally? But there will inevitably be some sort of surprising relevation that could be any combination of the hundreds of theories being flung around the internet. If there’s anything we know for sure about this season of American Horror Story, it is that there is an extravagant trick being played on us.
