This week’s episode continued avoiding Zoe’s storyline, which helps. Tonight we only got a few brief moments with Tasissa Farmiga and her big, deer-in-the-headlights eyes, and it’s the right move. When you have actresses like Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, and Angela Basset chewing up all the scenery they can get their hands on, it just doesn’t bode well to waste time with Zoe and her Warm Bodies but creepier plot. I think Evan Peters is doing the best he can as the zombie-like Kyle, but it still seems all a bit hokey and uninteresting. I’m glad we didn’t delve deeper into what’s happening with those two. I started to get excited when Zoe made the move to poison Kyle, hoping that this would either end or ramp up their little story, but Kyle just disappears, and instead of looking for him, Zoe just ends up back at the mansion dishing with the other girls about the supposed whereabouts of the oh-so-dead Madison. Perhaps the most surprising and welcome addition to the show was the revelation that Hank, Cordelia’s husband, isn’t all that he seems to be. Pretending to be away on business, Hank shacks up with a cute redhead, and just when she confesses her feelings for him, he shoots her right in the head. It’s not all witches this year. It looks like we have another serial killer on our hands. Speaking of Cordelia, she had a rough go of things this week. Not only does she seem incompetent in front of the Council, I fear she chooses the wrong side again (after last week being told what side she’s on by Marie Laveau) by siding with her mother against Myrtle. Her defense of Fiona creates a nice bonding moment for the two, and they share some drinks and secrets and actually seem like a healthy mother and daughter. Things take a turn for the worse though when Cordelia cannot handle her booze and ends up puking in the bathroom. When she emerges from the stall, she’s giving the full on Harvey Dent treatment and has her face soaked in an acid bath by a cloaked figure. My first instinct was to believe it was Laveau’s doing, but something tells me it’s actually Myrtle enacting some revenge.
