This episode bumped Hotel up in my list.
Asylum > Hotel > Murder House > Coven > Freak Show
Sarah's backstory was gruesome, the fact that Sarah and Gaga shared scenes, finally! and it giving me Asylum vibes when Lana was locked up by bloody face. Liz and Iris continuing to slay, Donovan's demise.
I didn't care about Queenie, was kinda pointless bringing her back, the only thing that makes sense to me is the online people who complain about the timeline of this show, and how from anything based after Coven would have to somehow reference witches

If that was the intention, then I'm glad it's out of the way now.
Alex, John, Holden, and Scarlet (who I literally had to google her name, because she is never spoken of) can all die, especially John. He better not get some twisted ending and survive, out of everyone he probably deserves to die the most. And to be honest his whole story line was hit and miss.
The major thing I am left with after this season, is the fact that nobody is good, and their is no protagonist, which I guess has been something that has annoyed me throughout, but maybe it's smart, and not all stories need good to push a story forward, it's a different style of storytelling which we'll see pays off in the finale.
It's in the exact same place I felt like right before the finale of Murder House, not really knowing what the last episode will bring. I felt like the final family they introduced into Murder House to tie it up was so, so and I think we'll get a similar ending here.
Hopefully Ryan doesn't mess this up, and ends it on a good note. I can genuinely say this season has been a big step up from Freak Show (which I doubted at times, but it kept proving me wrong), so please Ryan don't make me go back on my word.
