So, what was real and what wasn’t? Did Michelle not actually die? Is she still a ghost, and did she leave when the house burned down? Did the house even burn down at all? Did Michelle not actually go to Murder House? Are she and Rory characters in the game? I don’t know! It’s very confusing, and I suppose, intentionally left up to interpretation. Does Michelle think any escaped into their world? It is doubtful, but then a familiar red ball rolls into their living room shortly after they depart to get food. He wonders what happened to all the ghosts released from Murder House. The entire latter half of the episode was actually Rory playing an updated version of Michelle’s game. Then we return to Rory and Michelle at home. Ruby explains that while most of the ghosts, like Scarlett’s dads, moved on when given a choice, she stayed behind, hoping that someday Scarlett would come back. That night, Ruby appears to Scarlett and the two reconnect. Even though no apparitions have been spotted in the years since the house burnt down, she still tries to get in touch with Ruby to see if she’s still hanging around somehow. In place of the haunted manor is an ultra-modern condominium complex. Three years later, Scarlett returns to the plot of land. American Horror Stories finale recap: What happens in the end? She manages to send a text asking for help to Scarlett, but by the time Scarlett arrives, it’s too late. The idea of never seeing her girlfriend again sends Ruby on a murderous tailspin. Ruby (Kaia Gerber) and Scarlett (Sierra McCormick) have continued their annual visits since the first episode of American Horror Stories. But together, he and his mom decide to burn down Murder House once and for all, an idea supported by every ghost in the house except one: Ruby. Not long after this little catch-up, Michelle is murdered. Ben is back to cheating on Vivian with Hayden and having issues with his teen daughter Violet. It turns out the Harmons have not had a happily ever after in the years since we’ve seen them. Once inside, Michelle meets Ben Harmon, who is as obnoxious as ever. She asks a realtor to take her to the real house, which is for sale yet again. Taking that criticism to heart, Michelle binges the entire first season and then goes to get a little hands-on experience. Rory doesn’t think his mom gets the “vibe” of the show. Many would immediately point out that Addie died on the street and therefore would not be stuck in the house, and the other two killers never even stepped foot in that house. Rory isn’t impressed with Twisty, Addie, or Bloodyface showing up as he notes that it would piss off fans. American Horror Stories finale recap: The video game twistĪ young mom, Michelle (Mercedes Mason), is working to make an excellent game to connect with her son Rory (Nicolas Bechtel), who is another American Horror Story superfan. They’re both killed quickly by… wait, is that Addie (Jamie Brewer)? Bloodyface? And Twisty the Clown? Yes, it is weird those characters popped up in Murder House! Upon the deaths of the young couple, we leave Murder House and find out that the entire opening was actually part of an American Horror Story-themed video game. No sooner do Connie and Dylan christen the house (while roleplaying as Tate and Violet, I might add) does it become apparent that something is amiss. The couple, played by Noah Cyrus and Adam Hagenbuch, are named Connie and Dylan, a not-so-subtle wink at the show’s first season stars Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott, only one of whom returns in this hour.Īt first, it looks like we’re going to get an interesting fourth-wall-breaking take on Murder House, which is about the only thing that could have made returning there interesting. I hope it never shows up on American Horror Story, or its spinoff, again.īut what is the finale about? In a meta twist, the last episode begins with a couple of American Horror Story superfans arriving at the famed Murder House, which is now an Airbnb touting an “Escape from Murder House” experience. I don’t know about you, dear reader, but I am sick to death of that damn house. One good thing about the finale, “Game Over,” is might signify the end of the Murder House, for good. The only episodes worth watching are “Ba’al” and “Feral,” because, beyond that, it’s just a forgettable clump of disasters. Despite all the hype, Ryan Murphy and co. American Horror Stories comes to an end with a resounding “meh,” which fits the general tone of this abysmal first season.
