 As always, I will be getting into a recap, a review, and theories of this episode, and there are timestamps in the pinned comment below if you want to jump around. I'll start with a short recap of the major events of this episode, and for the sake of time I won't be going scene by scene or anything like that, but the episode begins with Karen warning Margaret about Mr. Jingle's escape, to which Margaret responds with grabbing her gun and scaring Karen away. As Karen leaves the camp, she gets roadside assistance from Mr. Jingle, who then proceeds to kill her. Then Brooke is the only one who hears about Ed's murder on the news, so once again everyone thinks she's just paranoid. Later Brooke reveals to Montana that her ex fiancee shot up their own wedding in a gruesome and bloody sequence set to white wedding. Since it is night time, the boys all take showers, but Xavier heads back to the cabin for his beach towel. On the way, Margaret turns out the lights, and Xavier gets grabbed by Blake, his sugar daddy who is now threatening to release a porn that Xavier did unless Xavier agrees to make more. Xavier bargains with Blake and says he has someone that can replace him, and then takes Blake to the showers to look at Trevor. While Blake peeps, Xavier makes a run for it, and then Blake gets a spear through the eye. Meanwhile, Richard Ramirez is really also here at Camp Redwood, and finds Brooke at the dock. She beats him with a paddle and manages to get away when Ramirez is distracted by, surprise, the hiker that Brooke just saw dead on the door in the last episode. Richard guts the poor guy and moves on, until later he finds the hiker again, and to his shock he's still not dead. So Richard kills him again and finds his ID which is dated 1970, then all of the sudden the hiker is gone again. Richard Ramirez breaks into Margaret's cabin, and the pair have some tea and discuss Richard's troubling childhood. Then Margaret herself runs into the hiker, and is weirdly very much not at all phased by the ghost in the time loop. Then the gang is all made aware that Blake is dead, and there really are some killers at the camp. So they try to escape in the van, but crash into Margaret's car after nurse Rita jumps in front of the van. Rita, who had been attacked by Mr. Jingles, has a wound on her chest but is still living, and she tells the gang that she has a car but she needs to go get her keys from the infirmary. Trevor also has a motorcycle, but needs his keys as well, so the group splits up and they all get spooked when they both have unknown threats banging at each door. Well, that is the recap and now it's time for my review and opinions on this episode. And then I will be getting into theories. This season of American Horror Story is wasting no time in terms of bringing the action, gore, and the twists. After an unusually strong first episode, the second episode came in hot and left me even more intrigued than I already was. My favorite thing about this episode is that it answered a lot of the questions that were brought up in episode 1, thus confirming and debunking a lot of fan theories, and it's not typical for a lot of these questions in American Horror Story to be answered so quickly. The first scene I want to talk about is the wedding scene. As we know from Scream Queens, it is impossible for Emma Roberts to have a wedding without anybody dying. To me, the scene was so shocking and unexpected and it was also very well done. The direction by John Gray tonight was great and it allowed for some really cool shots capturing some really great acting from Emma Roberts as well as the guest star playing her fiance. The whole episode was well shot and I was in love with it. I forgot to mention how great the score of the season is in my last review, but Mac Quayle is nicely mixing his normal American Horror Story score with an 80s-esque score that is very similar to what he did on Scream Queens. This episode, although it doesn't feel like it, packed in a lot of exposition, revealing Xavier's sketchy past with Blake, Richard Ramirez's childhood, Jonas's experience from the 1970 murders, and Brooke's wedding. I also thought it was great how they emphasize how people not believing Brooke is a very common thing for her and it really explains her shy and guarded personality. If, you know, your fiance killing himself and two other people, including your father, at your own wedding, isn't enough to make someone guarded and shy. But of course, in episode one, no one believes that Brooke saw Richard, Mr. Jingles, or the Dead Hiker. And in this episode, her fiance doesn't believe that she didn't sleep with one of the groomsmen. And finally, now we know that Brooke is in fact not hallucinating. And I'm very glad that the unreliable narrator trope is hopefully not going to be carried through her character for the rest of the season. There is in fact a ghost trapped in a time warp and two serial killers at Camp Redwood. Now let's talk about the hiker, who seems to be in a time loop of the day of the 1970 Camp Redwood murders. This is a little weird and I don't believe anything quite like this in terms of the ghosts in American Horror Story has ever happened. I saw that last week, people did theorize that a time loop was the case with the hiker. So kudos to you if you got that right. But the hiker was one of the major questions that was posed in the first episode. And although we hopefully will learn more about him, his identity and nature have been revealed. So this is what I'm talking about in terms of seemingly big questions being answered already. Once again, I'm still skeptical about the inclusion of Richard Ramirez. In this episode, for example, his dialogue seems kind of like adult caricature of him in his interaction with Margaret. He still doesn't seem necessary to the plot aside from him attacking and pursuing Brooke. I understand that they included him because of his significance in Los Angeles in the year of 1984, but it's not like they're telling that story. Instead of having Ramirez committing his real murders that he committed, they have him here at a summer camp a few hours away from where he actually was at the time. Obviously, Zach is a main cast member, so Richard Ramirez will be a huge part of this season. I'm just waiting for it to seem necessary. In the end, this episode was exceptional. I think it is a brilliantly written and compelling season so far. And if they keep this momentum, pace and intrigue up, the season could really compete with a lot of people's fan favorite seasons. So I give episode two titled Mr. Jingles nine Montana Dukes out of ten. Be sure to let me know how many Montana's you would give this episode in the comments below. But now let's move on to theories. Theory number one, it's all a game. This theory is based off of one from Reddit, but I'm veering somewhat away from what they said. Similar theories have also been around since preseason, by the way. But basically, the theory is that Camp Redwood is a simulation of sorts, maybe like a Hunger Game situation where real people are forced to be stuck together and get killed one by one. And this is all being controlled by the government. Or like this theory suggests, it's being controlled by really rich, sadistic people who want to vote and bet on who will survive and stuff like that. This could potentially be what ties the season to Orwell's 1984. And it could also be the twist at episode six. But moving on to theory number two, Margaret was in on the 1970 murders. If you remember, I already talked about this theory last week, but as you probably caught in this episode, there was a lot more information, potentially disproving Margaret's campfire story, mainly her interaction with the Hiker Jonas. First, she recognizes him and the fact that he hasn't aged instantly. She tells him that she saw his dead body, which is weird because his death occurred in a completely different spot at the camp than where Margaret was in the bunkhouse. Another moment from this conversation was when Margaret was feeling out how much Jonas really recalls from the last night he was alive. After Jonas tells her about being hit by the truck, Margaret asks him if Mr. Jingles was in the truck, and then she asks if he saw him, to which Jonas replies with, I heard him. So obviously now Margaret knows that Jonas did not see that it was really physically in fact Mr. Jingles. So it could have been Margaret just as Mr. Jingles. And this could be the reason that she's making sure that Jonas thinks Mr. Jingles is the one who killed him because maybe it was actually Margaret who killed him. Also in the short flashbacks to Jonas's memory of the night, he sees Margaret standing up covered in blood, looking out a window. Based on Margaret's tale of what happened, it doesn't seem like this moment could have ever happened if we are to believe her side of events. Other clues that point to Margaret's killer past is her conversation with Richard Ramirez. Firstly, she's not remotely scared of him, despite being very anti-sex and pro-religion with Ramirez's praise of Satan. Also, she tells him that one of her favorite things about God is how you can use him to explain why you did something horrible. She says that line to him after she knows he has killed multiple people. And the way she says it with such conviction makes me feel like she's relating to him and helping a fellow killer deal with guilt. Alright, those are all of my theories for this episode.
