In the previous episode of American Horror Story: Apocalypse, we witnessed the end of civilization as we know it, as all major cities in the world were hit by nuclear strikes. We met Mr. Gallant, Coco, and Mallory; a group of rich people who bought a spot in the outpost. We also met Timothy and Emily, two teenagers who were taken into the outpost because of their incredible genetic makeup. The show also introduced Ms. Venable, the leader of the outpost. What’s going to happen next? Let’s find out as we recap American Horror Story: Apocalypse episode 2.
Snake Soup
Emily was alone in her room, when the snake (from Coven) slithered around her walls. She immediately screamed, which alerted Ms. Mead and the other authorities of the outpost. Mead quickly killed the snake and had them cooked up for dinner that night. The snakes came back to life and everyone ran away from the table in horror. Later that night, Michael Langdon revealed his presence to all of the people in the outpost. Langdon told everyone of the Sanctuary and the situation that they were currently in. Mr. Gallant volunteered to be evaluated first.
Evaluations
Langdon and Mr. Gallant began their initial evaluation process. Mr. Gallant revealed that he hated his grandmother, Evie. He hated her because of her treatment of his homosexuality. Langdon seemed both intrigued and aroused by Gallant’s hatred. Timothy and Emily had begun some sort of romantic relationship, Emily attempted to convince Timothy to run away from the outpost and find the Sanctuary by themselves. Timothy refused to do so. Later that night, Gallant was visited by the spirit from earlier, wearing a leather suit, and the two engaged in sexual intercourse.
Creation of Rules
Evie went to Mead and told her about Gallant’s sexuality. Timothy and Emily snuck around the facility and found a laptop that was working and showed an email sent only a week ago. They both figured out that that shouldn’t be possible in a nuclear apocalypse. Langdon confronted Venable about creating her own rules, such as the ‘no sex’ rule, Venable denied creating that rule. She insisted that she was given that order by the Cooperative. Langdon ended the conversation by revealing that it was part of Venable’s evaluation, she had failed and would not be going to the Sanctuary. Ms. Mead arrived and took Venable away.
Down Time
While alone in the communal room, Gallant was visited by the spirit again. Mead walked in on Timothy and Emily having sex and she had them both taken prisoner. Gallant followed the spirit back to his room and attempted to de-mask the spirit, but it was to no avail. Gallant managed to overpower the spirit and stabbed it to death. It was revealed that it was actually his grandmother he was stabbing. Timothy and Emily were brought before Venable, they revealed that they had found Langdon’s laptop. Then Venable ordered them to be executed.
