 Episode 100 of American Horror Story is here, so let's break down the major plot points that occurred in the episode, review it, and then get into some theories about where 1984 is heading. Firstly, we'll begin with the recap. It's 1985, and Richard Ramirez and Mr. Jingles are sharing a motel room in Los Angeles. Mr. Jingles expresses that he's tired of putting up with Ramirez's lifestyle, and he's tired of seeing people die. But Richard says that there's no going back after Satan gifted him life. While stopped at a liquor store, Benjamin sees a newspaper with Richard's face on it, identifying him as the night stalker. He hands the newspaper to a woman and indicates that Ramirez is in the store. A mob chases Richard Ramirez and beats him as Benji drives off. Time jump to 1989 at a now abandoned Camp Redwood, where Montana kills a wandering duck photographer with Xavier's support, while the ghosts of the 1970 victims observe. Cut to an episode of the lifestyles of the rich and famous starring the real estate mogul Margaret Booth, who has made a career of buying properties with dark pasts, like John Wayne Gacy's home, The Winchester House, Spawn's Ranch, and Breyer Cliff Manor. And surprise, beside Margaret Booth is Trevor Kirchner, who reveals that the knife missed his heart and he miraculously recovered and married Margaret. Flashback to 1985, when Trevor wakes up from his coma, where he and Margaret make a deal to get married and share Margaret's riches, in exchange for Trevor not turning her into the police. Back at the Booth mansion in 1989, and we meet Margaret's assistant Courtney, who tells the happy couple that Brooke Thompson has lost her final appeal and is set to be executed. Meanwhile, the ghosts of Camp Redwood rummage through the photographer's belongings, and Ray expresses his frustration with Montana and Xavier's killing habit. The photographer's girlfriend shows up and Xavier kills her to raise dismay. Also on death row, Richard Ramirez astral projects to Brooke's cell and offers her a similar deal with Satan that Mr. Jingles took. Brooke politely declines. Margaret finds out about the photographer and his girlfriend's murder at Camp Redwood, which inspires her to plan a food and music festival on the camp grounds. In order to capitalize off, or in her words, baptize, the campsite, just in time for Halloween 1989. Now, Benjamin Richter finds himself leading a new life in Alaska with a wife and a child. He is employed at a video rental shop and goes by the name Donald. Margaret returns to Camp Redwood and holds a press conference for the festival and chets plots to kill Margaret as revenge for his brutal death. A visitor informs Richard Ramirez of the Camp Redwood festival with Billy Idle as a headliner and Richard says that he doesn't want to die with the 1980s as 1990 is fast approaching. Richard plots a comeback so that his legend lives for multiple decades. As Brooke walks to her death, Richard gives her another chance to take his offer, which she declines again. About to be executed, Brooke speaks through the one-way mirror, assuming Margaret is on the other side, and pleads her innocence once more. Meanwhile, Richard channels Satan and possesses the prison guard, who is assumed to have allowed for Richard to escape the prison. Back in Alaska, Benjamin finds his wife, Slane, in a note on the back of the Camp Redwood festival flyer, from Richard saying Satan will have his vengeance. Benjamin leaves his son on his sister-in-law's doorstep and vows to end the darkness that plagues him. Brooke's death sentence seems to be carried out until she is awakened, and the executioner is revealed to be none other than Donna Chambers. All right, so this episode is obviously unlike any of the previous episodes of the season, mainly because it does not occur on the 1984 counselor's first night at Camp Redwood. Instead, we have a time-jump of five years, with this episode majorly taking place in 1989. To me, this episode is clearly set up as if it is the sequel to the first five episodes, if the first five episodes were one whole slasher film. I would also assume that the next three episodes will follow suit, and this whole season will be split into two parts, the original and the sequel. I like this concept, and I think you can't bring up 80 slashers without mentioning their countless sequels. For what it was, I think this episode was done really well, although I do think it's very unlikely that no one would catch on to Margaret being behind the murders. I mean we have Brooke maintaining her innocence, and now Margaret, survivor of two serial killings, buying famous sites of other murders. The woman is obviously deranged, but yeah I guess having Trevor on her side does help her case a little. Benjamin's new life is interesting, as it is taken away just as fast as it was introduced, and by the end of the episode he's back in the trench coat jingling towards Camp Redwood. I think Benjamin is proving to be one of the standouts of the season, someone whose life has been completely ruined by Margaret. He's been unable to escape the consequences of her framing him since 1970. I think this Camp Redwood festival is going to be really cool to watch, with a probable third massacre occurring at Camp Redwood in the span of 20 years. I loved the inclusion of the ghosts from the 1970 murders living amongst the 1984 ghosts, although where the hell have they been hiding this whole time? But anyway, this episode marks the new beginning for the season, and I'm still on board, so I give episode 6 of 1984 and episode 100 of the series overall, 8 Montana Dukes out of 10. Be sure to let me know how you'd rate it in the comments below. So now let's move on to the theory section. Theory number one, Lana Winters is coming. Okay, so of course in this episode we got that little nod to Briarcliff, with Margaret Booth now owning the property in 1989. The thing is, prior to this, we were led to believe that Briarcliff had been abandoned since its closure in 1971. We never see Briarcliff during the 80s, so it's not like this is a continuity error. However, we do know that by 2012, the property is abandoned. So it's safe to say that Margaret Booth does not hold on to this property for much longer. So what if Lana Winters becomes aware of Margaret and her story after her acquisition of the property, and she sees right through her? We know Lana Winters becomes a journalism icon after her Briarcliff expose, so what if this causes her to do an expose on Margaret Booth? Lana could expose her for profiting off the celebration of heinous sites of evil and murder, and perhaps she could even go as far as to pinning both Redwood murders on Margaret. I think it would be cool if this easter egg reference to Briarcliff was actually setting up a bigger asylum connection. However, Sarah Paulson has stated that she's not appearing in this season. So the only way this could happen is if she lied to keep it a surprise. But I still think this would be a fitting downfall to Margaret Booth, and I think Margaret and Lana are parallel characters. After Lana escaped the hell of Briarcliff, she went on to have a successful career without selling out. But after Margaret quote-unquote survives the two Redwood murder sprees, she builds her career off of the novelty of real life crimes. Theory number two. Donna, Brooke, and Trevor are all working together. Okay, so this is kind of a combination of two theories floating around on Reddit, but we know Donna saved Brooke and that the pair are working together in the promo for episode seven. We also see Dylan McDermott's character with these two, and he's bearing a strong resemblance to Trevor. I think that Trevor has been trying to clear Brooke's name while simultaneously incriminating Margaret. And perhaps Dylan is playing Trevor's brother, who resembles him enough to get past security at Camp Redwood during the music festival. Maybe this is leading to a confrontation with Brooke and Donna exposing Margaret, or maybe Brooke, Donna, and Trevor are all trying to kill Margaret. This is one of those theories with no real foundation, aside from the resemblance between Dylan's character and Trevor, but I think that Trevor was a good guy in the beginning, and I find it hard to believe that he can just stand by Margaret without immense guilt.
