Is it too early to start speculating on the season finale for American Horror Story: Freak Show? Trick question- it's never too early. The show is currently in its mid-season break and will not return until after the New Year. With the way it ended, we have some ideas.
American Horror Story Adds Magic to the Cast in Second Half of Season
We're not flying completely blind however, as Bloody Disgusting has released some details for the finale, aptly titled, "Curtain Call."
Details are as follows, "The Freaks rebel against new management. Dandy prepares for his debut performance. Elsa arrives in Tinseltown."
Not much to go on but we can infer some details from what we saw in the tease for the first return episode. We know that Elsa left her troop in the care of Barney Stinson, I mean Chester the Magician. We also know that he may be a psychopath. It seems a little too obvious that the freaks would be against his murder tendencies. I think it's much more likely that he'll seek to change the show in a more benign way which sets them off.
But then there is Dandy. Dandy who wanted to join the freaks before he found soulmate Twisty the Clown. The teaser for next episode seems to point to some tension between Dandy and the new owner, however, we all know that the rich boy's affections are fickle and it's more likely that he'll see a kindred spirit.
And there's the case of who is not mentioned. Stanley, con artist extraordinaire. With Desiree finding out without a shadow of a doubt what he's up to, it's possible the con artist meets his end before the finale. It's tempting to think that he lives because Elsa makes it to stardom but we also know that Stanley is full of it. Elsa's stardom is likely due to another unrelated factor. After what he's done, there's no way that the freaks would let him live.
The season finale of American Horror Story: Freak Show airs on January 21, 2015.
