Murphy said that the three victims may not have necessarily told the truth about their experiences in the house. We very well could discover that the Polk family was a completely normal group of rednecks out in the woods and Shelby and Matt made up the story about being kidnapped and seeing them eat human jerky.

Ooooh, in that case killing the dumb one may not have been an accident, but a deliberate murder. Maybe no one has seen the Polks because they handed them over to the Butcher for the sacrifice.

It would also explain why the cops seemed so awful in the reenactment. Their explanation for why the police never got involved was "The cops came, but they kept finding no evidence and leaving and never helping us." What if they never called the cops because they were up to their own shady poo poo in the woods?

What if the only survivor is Matt and Shelby's baby. Like the witch made a baby for them or something.

I'm hoping the Polk family turn out to be the real heroes.

Just caught up with this season and really like it. I haven't been a fan since season 1 though i did like the first half of Freak Show.

If you didn't find episode 6 hilarious we can't be friends
Episodes 1/2/5/6 are all excellent, and 5/6 were very good overall. 3/4 not quite as good because they moved too fast but also durdled around too long in some ways. They looked like the show might get lost like it always does. But nope! Recovery, so far.

Just caught up, really impressed by this season. Good way to tackle the Blair witch found footage trope. I think Matt came back for witch sexy time.

It's becoming increasingly more difficult to hate Ryan Murphy with each episode this season.

The only thing that bugs me is that the ghosts show up in full on physical manifestations on camera. This makes it a little stupid when they do the typical "turn around and the ghost is gone, turn back and it's in front of you" trope. If they have two cameras facing the same spot, does the ghost only appear on one of them? Did they suddenly appear out of thin air? When you have real found footage of ghosts appearing on one camera, why would you do the cut-away hiding their entrance into the scene?

I love the humor in this episode, all the in-jokes and visual stuff and the tension between the actors and the real versions becoming two cliques right from the start.

Maybe in order to affect the real world(like inflict actual physical pain), they have to materialize, otherwise, they're just mirages.
Or it's because it's the blood moon when they gain physical forms and they can cross between them at will...and all of the ghosts happen to enjoy hamming it up for the camera.

How many episodes are left? They really seem to be burning through characters with a quickness.

Who were the guys that showed up and started cattle prodding the women? Are those the evil rednecks?

That's my guess. Either that or one of the real Butcher's goon squad.

6?

The people remaining are:

Shelby
Dominic
Monet
Audrey
Lee (missing a chunk of leg but no signs she's dead yet)

And I guess the crazy hillbilly family, of which Finn Wittrock is a member (the one holding the camera, who we saw for a split second).

Based on Ryan Murphy never being able to keep a secret, it sounds like the Roanoke return footage will end at ep 9, which explains the quick offing of the cast. Episode 10 will probably be the next "twist," whatever that is.

Overall I had fun watching this episode, but as people have said, it started a bit lackluster. Can't say it started slow since we had so much development, but the deaths were just so sudden and uncreative. Like, this is the time for them to really cash in and go crazy, and they just let a mortal actress stab everybody with a cleaver and disappear? Glad things picked up and we got some more unexpected stuff in the second half of the episode.

Not a big deal, but I was also kind of disappointed they made those slack jawed NC yokels just as bad in real life. It would have been really cool if they turned out to be regular, sympathetic people who the show had interpreted as backwards rednecks because The South. But nah, turns out the casting directors and actors totally loving nailed it I guess! North Carolina is the new West Virginia. Thanks McCrory.

So which actors haven't we seen yet? I am guessing Matt Bomer will be the real Mott. Has Frances Conroy shown up yet or did I forget her?
