This episode introduces us to yet another story of the house previous residents. In 1920s a Frankenstein-like doctor was conducting macabre experiments as well as abortions in the basement. His wife, Nora, turns out to be another ghost haunting the ‘murder house’. She is played by Lily Rabe, who gave one of the best performances in ‘Asylum’ as the nun possessed by the Devil. Nora seems to be planning to take back the house, but it’s far too early to state how exactly she’s going to harass the Harmon family.
We also learn how the maid was killed. Constance used to live in the mansion and when she found out her husband was cheating on her, she killed both the maid and her husband. Even though over 30 years have passed, Jessica Lange’s character still cannot forgive the girl. What’s interesting, Moira appears as a young, attractive girl only to men, while women see her aged version.
After the invasion, Vivienne is desperate to move someplace else. However, her husband and daughter are reluctant to do so. Ben feels that the mansion is perfect as his workplace and Violet perceives getting rid of the invaders as a victory and doesn't seem to realize how dangerous the place actually is.
Ben starts to have visions and being partly controlled by the house. At first she is to some extent responsible for his patient’s suicide when he refuses to listen to her. And when it turns out that his ex-lover didn’t have an abortion and wants to move in and have Ben be a true father to the child. He kills her with a shovel. Well, in theory it was Larry played by Denis O’Hare, but it is quite obvious he is a ghost as well, se Ben must’ve done it himself. Larry, with a 70% of his skin burnt and triple homicide on his conscience, is constantly warning Ben about the house, but the current resident doesn't seem to care. I’m waiting for some more incidents that make him change his mind.
