![]() ![]() That’s when the side effects really begin to manifest. Doris sees this outburst as even more of a reason to leave town, but Harry reminds her that she’s also being paid to redecorate this house - and if she backs out, it could be detrimental to her budding career as an interior designer. “Don’t be jealous because I have inspiration and you can’t play f–king Paganini!” he says. We also see the first negative side effect of the pill when Harry blows up at Alma for inquiring about his drug use. Inspiration (aka the pill) strikes Harry in the second half of the premiere, effectively pumping the brakes on the family’s plan to get the hell out of P-Town. Harry turns them down at first, but he changes his mind after a dishearteningly straight-forward chat with his agent Ursula (Leslie Grossman). No, I’m talking about Karen reluctantly bringing Belle a kidnapped baby in exchange for drugs and protection from “the others.” Speaking of drugs, Austin offers Harry a baggie of “tragic, magic little black pills” that allegedly inspire him and Belle to craft their best work. Meanwhile, far creepier things are happening across town, and I’m not just talking about Belle paying Mickey $300 to let her drink his blood. “Pale, bald freaks” really doesn’t do them justice, though it’s still better than Harry calling them “lunatic mimes with razor teeth.”) But the modesty that Harry previously displayed appears to melt away, as he bludgeons the friggin’ guy to death on the floor of his sunroom. (Seriously, I can’t wait until we know exactly what to call these things. ![]() Riding high from meeting such accomplished writers, Harry returns home… where he’s attacked by another pale, bald freak. At this point, I’m officially in love with her. ![]() “I just want the gristle and fat, bitch!” she declares. There’s an unsettling undertone to their conversation, but the tension is quickly severed by the arrival of good ol’ Karen, who’s looking for some scraps. Sensing a kindred spirit, Austin and Sarah - excuse me, “Belle Noir” - invite Harry to their table, where they promise that his writer’s block won’t last for long. That performance of “Islands in the Stream”? Perfection. He also comes across Austin Sommers (Evan Peters) and Sarah Cunningham (Frances Conroy), a pair of eccentric writers and karaoke enthusiasts. He encounters a trio of colorful characters at the restaurant, beginning with a prostitute named Mickey (Macaulay Culkin) who doesn’t mince words when he solicits Harry for a bit of ween-on-ween action. Unfortunately, life - more specifically Doris’ pregnancy - has other plans, so she stays home to nurse her upset stomach while he paints the town red by himself. In light of this grim discovery, Harry decides to “celebrate life” by taking Doris out to the only restaurant in town. And although they disappear when Harry looks out the window, he later discovers their mangled corpses strewn along the beach during a morning run. ![]() Lo and behold, more of those pale, bald freaks turn up outside Alma’s bedroom in the middle of the night. You have my word, you’re safe here,” which feels like a lie. A way-too-chill Chief Burleson (Adina Porter) simply chalks it up to a classic opioid-induced fit, telling the family, “I’m really sorry he scared you. Doris offers to take Alma for a walk through town, but the girls’ day out goes down in flames when a pale, bald freak chases them home and tries to break into the house. Never forget.Īdding to her creep factor, Alma also happens to be a viola prodigy, though her eerie playing proves too distracting for Harry. “Get out of this town! They’re gonna munch on your balls!” I’d say it’s the most disturbing grocery store moment in AHS history, but that wouldn’t be fair to Cult‘s horny clown posse. “Get the f–k out of here, f–ker!” Karen shrieks at Harry. And she may be very well onto something, as Harry is soon thereafter assaulted by a colorful local named “Tuberculosis Karen” (Sarah Paulson). Here’s another thing you never want to hear from a child: “It looks haunted.” That’s Alma’s official - and likely accurate - review of the family’s new home for the next three months.
