The second episode starts with a flashback to year 1968, when a nurse and a student are slaughtered in the 'murder house'. In present time, it turns out that a group of youngsters decided to reenact the murder on the current dwellers of the mansion, which are the Harmon family. Tate's relationship with Violet is getting more intensive and forces Ben to refer him to another psychiatrist. As well, girl with with Ben slept is pregnant and he goes back to Boston to help her get through abortion.
The first scene from 1968 is extremely good, it reminds me of that episode of 'Asylum' when a man dressed as Santa Claus invaded a home and tortured its residents. Knowing latter seasons I need to acknowledge producers' skill in recreating United States from different periods. And that girl turning down The Doors concert? If she knew what would happen to Jim Morrison she'd probably be in the first row. On the other hand, if she knew she was going to get killed that very night she would also probably choose the show.
With the home invasion, the house seems to attract danger from outside apart from hiding deadly secrets inside. It really seems like a trap and no wonder at the end of the episode Vivienne tells her husband that they have to leave this mansion as soon as possible. They can try to repair their marriage in a house that's not haunted and the therapy will surely be more effective there.
The most fascinating part of 'Murder House' is figuring out which characters are ghosts and which are real. My guess would be that Tate and the maid are definitely dead, while Addie and Constance are rather very much alive.
