![]() John is informed he has a package waiting for him and smartly calls in the bomb squad who determines it is not a bomb, but rather a murder weapon. John's story is incredibly heartbreaking.īack at the police station, John is informed that this killer is tech savvy as he is capable of sending texts that appear to be from other phones (and he immediately clues in that the original text sending him to the crime scene in the last episode was most likely not sent from his wife, but the killer). That night sent John on a two day bender, and he offered up the carnival trip as a desperate gesture to make amends (and ended with him losing Holden) which we know made things worse. Will this be John's fate? His son, daughter, and wife killed (or vampires) and it pushes him over the edge? It feels a little like he's headed down that path. In what may be sad foreshadowing John shares the story of a father who accidentally kills his children with carbon monoxide poisoning and as a result kills himself. She encourages John to 'climb that ladder' as she senses he wants to get lost too and prompts him to tell her about the last day he drank. She got lost along the way as she tried to climb higher and higher on this endless ladder (title reference number two). As time went on it became harder and harder to get to that light. ![]() Sally compares getting high, at least at first, to heaven. Everyone in this hotel has an addiction of sorts it appears (some more obvious than others). We also find out that John is a recovering alcoholic. Sally tells him that 'weird things go down, especially at night'. ![]() He looses him only to wind up at the bar with Elizabeth Taylor and Sally. Of course he sees Holden again and it results in a chase through the hotel with Holden giggling as John desperately calls his son's name. He wakes gasping in bed and goes to investigate a noise. It's a heart pounding in time with the pulsing background kind of moment and it really works. Especially effective is John creeping up to the closed shower curtain. Some of these scenes are fantastic though as the pacing, and camera work make them very unsettling. She looks sad and wistful about it though, as if Donovan has disappointed her and the look on her face feels an awful lot like a more permanent goodbye than any of the words used.Ī dreamy, hallucinatory sequence shows that John is having a very bad time sleeping in room 64. Countess is all about the hunt though (she's insatiable) and goes without him. Does his mean Murder House rules apply for the hotel? You die inside it and you never leave?! Interesting.Ĭountess wants to go to an art opening but Donovan just wants to Netflix and chill. He quips that he became a junkie to escape from his mother and that Countess has ensured that he never can. Are they a filtering system for Countess and Donovan? The 'vamp' children's blood is being decanted for them and when Iris delivers it she asks the Countess to see Donovan but Donovan doesn't want to see her. We also find out that the poor guy in the mattress from the last episode ended up in the basement as well.Īfter feeding the child 'vamps' are being drained of their blood. Elizabeth Taylor tosses the body down a very convenient chute (first nod to the episode title). The child 'vampires' are feasting, with one of them declaring that the Swedish tourist 'tastes gross'. Sally is pissed and snaps at Iris to shut up the screaming woman while snarkingly asking 'did you forget a cop is staying here?' which is my favourite line. At this point I am yelling "RUN BLONDE MAX GREENFIELD, RUN" at my TV. She's interrupted by the Swedish tourist who is still alive (for now) screaming. Sally tells him it is all his fault for thinking he could cheat death as she starts to sew. She's sewing him into a mattress and his future is basically that of the poor guy who traumatized the Swedish tourists. We now know what happened to Max Greenfield (who is apparently called Gabriel) and we also know who is sewing people into mattresses - Sally! Gabriel may have cheated death but Sally will not let that stand. We start the episode with a few answers to some of my questions from last week. There will be spoilers, so read at your own risk. #SorryNotSorry but starting this off with a reminder that. These long episodes are ensuring my recaps are insanely long.
