This week on FX Network's fantastic fright fest: Kit and Grace agree to name their child Thomas after Grace's grandfather. Lana is released from Briarcliff, with some assistance from Mother Claudia, and attempts to shine a light on Thredson's crimes once and for all.
AHS is never short of twists and turns, and that's never been more true than this week. "Spilt Milk" is probably one of the strangest episodes yet, both in story and presentation. The style of filmmaking here is one I haven't quite seen on the show before, thanks to director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon. SPOILER: There's a cool scene with Lana, Kit and Thredson that's presented in split-screen format. At other times the camera seems to be dancing a ballet around its performers, framing them from canted, disorienting angles or solely to the right and left. Some shots reminded me of the work of Tom Hooper and his director of photography Danny Cohen on The King's Speech and Les Miserables.
SPOILER: As far as story, there's plenty of the show's trademark psycho-sexual tension on display, both with Lana and her discussions with Thredson as well as in this week's prologue featuring series veteran Dylan McDermott, once again portraying the grown-up son of Lana and Thredson (or so we assume)...
SPOILER: Did anyone see the twist coming at Kit's house towards the end?? Mind-blowing!!!!! Can't wait for next week. Only 2 episodes left this season!
