Plot
After killing his mother, Dandy (Finn Wittrock) visits Maggie (Emma Roberts) at the freak show to receive a reading. Maggie assures Dandy that there may be some trouble in his future but he will prevail. More confident than ever, Dandy leaves to continue his grisly work, but is stopped by an extremely drunk Jimmy (Evan Peters). Jimmy accuses Dandy of having something to do with Dot and Bette's disappearance and threatens Dandy, knowing he had a part in the clown's murder spree. Dandy calls Jimmy pathetic as he falls to the ground, promising vengeance on Jimmy for taking the twins away from him.
Elsa (Jessica Lange) and Stanley (Denis O'Hare) track down the twins and bring them to the farmhouse. Stanley declares that the townspeople have gone on a rampage and that they'll be safe there, until the doctor comes to perform their surgery. The sisters realize that having separate lives isn't worth losing one of their own and decide to not get the surgery.
With the truth of his sexuality and the guilt over Ma Petite's (Jyoti Amge) murder becoming too much for Dell (Michael Chiklis) to handle, he attempts to hang himself, but is saved by Desiree (Angela Bassett). After Jimmy is too drunk to perform at a Tupperware party for the housewives, he sees hallucinations of Ethel (Kathy Bates), who tells him to get over her death and move on.
Once Jimmy leaves, Dandy shows up at the door claiming that his car broke down. He murders the group of women, gouging out their eyes and leaving them to float in the pool. Regina (Gabourey Sidibe) confronts Dandy and tells him she's contacted the police about her mother disappearance, but is shocked when Dandy openly admits his murderous streak. He lets Regina escape, but she soon returns with Detective Colquitt (P.J. Marshall). Dandy declares his wealth, promising the detective a million dollars if he kills Regina, and Colquitt does so without hesitation, shooting her in the head.
A drunken Jimmy goes back to his caravan, only to find Dot and Bette (Sarah Paulson) waiting for him. Dot declares her love for Jimmy and says they can live happily together, but Jimmy declines their advances, claiming he's in love with someone else. As he exits the caravan, police cars show up to the freak show. Detective Colquitt arrests Jimmy for the murders of the Tupperware party women and he is taken away in a police car.
