**Spoilers**
Snakes In A Closet
The opening scenes of the second episode of AHS were super creepy with Emily finding a nest of snakes in her closet. Ms. Meade is super stoked about the idea of being able to eat the snakes and promptly has them chopped up and cooked in a soup. But, like most things in AHS land, nothing stays dead for long and as our guests in Outpost Three starts in on their dinner, the dinner starts breathing again.
My Name Is Langdon
New York, Texas, West Virginia. The three other bunkers that have been overrun in the United States and the six in Europe haven’t been heard from. That’s what Michael Langdon tells everyone. He then informs everyone in Outpost Three that he’s there to see whom among them is “worthy” enough to go with him to his “Sanctuary” to work with the Cooperative to repopulate the earth. Also, Michael prefers to go by Langdon.
Langdon interviews Gallant first and we find out there is a ton of tension between Gallant and his Nana. So much so that when Evie finds her grandson having sex with someone in the Rubberman suit, she goes and tattles on him to Ms. Meade, in a sad attempt to wiggle her way into the Sanctuary. Langdon denies being the Rubberman to Gallant.
Apple’s Product Placement Was Perfect
While Langdon is verbally sparring with Ms. Veneble, Timothy and Emily sneak into his room and find his WORKING laptop. You guys, there was a nuclear blast that knocked out power, satellites, and humanity. Besides the plane still working DURING the blast and Coco not becoming blind after STARING at the blast, we now have a working laptop. Not just working, but plugged into some sort of internet connection that miraculously works post-nuclear winter? If that’s not the best ad for Apple, I don’t know what is. OR it could be that there was no nuclear blast and that Ryan Murphy is fooling us into believing there was. I’m on to you Mr. Murphy, I’m on to you.
But, OK, Langdon has a working laptop that connects to the internet during a nuclear winter, on that magical laptop are some very damning emails informing Timothy and Emily that it’s Veneble’s rules that are keeping them from having sex and NOT the Coorepative’s. Emily wants to ditch the Outpost and make a go of it on their own. Timothy wants to bone. Timothy wins, they do the deed and immediately get caught.
Oh Damn’s
So, Timothy and Emily are going to be punished (aka killed) over the sex. Gallant sees the Rubberman again and proceeds to attack him/her, thinking it’s Langdon. But, sadly, or not so sadly, the Rubberman was a hallucination or a dream or something because Gallant shanked his Nana and she’s dead now.
Well, as dead as anyone can be on this show at least.
And then, at the very end, as Timothy fights for his and Emily’s life, he grabs the gun and shots Meade. Meade runs out of the room and we get a close up of her insides. There’s some debate as to whether or not it was pus and she’s been infected with radiation vs. she’s a robot vs. she’s an alien. Bottom line, she’s a robot. She had sparks, tubing, and a white liquid in her chest cavity. Think about the robots from the movie Alien. She a robot. Which is cool as hell.
My questions
Who was in the Rubberman suit? There are so many theories on the interwebs about this. My guess, Brock. (Coco’s maybe dead BF)
Who is in the Cooperative?
What is Meade?
Where the hell is the Coven? (One random theory I saw on Facebook was the snakes are the coven, I don’t agree).
