American Horror Story: Hotel – Recap: “The Ten Commandments Killer” (05×08)

Pedro Adame, Staff Writer

The new episode of American Horror Story: Hotel had such a twist to it that I couldn’t believe what had occurred. When the episode begins we are brought back to the moment the little girl gets ran over. After this scene, John goes back to the Hotel Cortez for answers. As he begins to assault Liz Taylor for answers, Sally shows up and tells John she will help John and take him to the clues. As we are taken back to room 64, Sally tells john to look behind the armoire. We discover there is a door that leads into a room with organs in a glass cases. Although this is very disturbing both Sally and John walk in. Sally begins to explain to John that someone had to finish James March’s job. At this point we the audience think it’s someone in the hotel who was behind the killings. The crazy part is, it was John all along. He was the one killing everyone. John has a break down and Sally confronts him. We begin to see John’s memory coming back and flashbacks of him committing the crimes. Who would have known John was the guy the Ten Commandment Killer.

Later on we see John tell his police friend everything in a room where dead people get observed for evidence. Of course the friend doesn’t believe him. John remembers a time when this officer told him his wife was worried about John. Right after this memory, John kills him for talking to his wife. His friend broke one of the commandments. He takes one of his organs to place in one of the glass cases. By the end of the episode John was given a decision since he now understands who he is. John can either leave now and put everything behind him, or he can stay and finish the job. James Patrick March waits for John to answer and John ends up agreeing to finish the job. I guess we can conclude John’s family was broken since the very beginning. He is just realizing that now. More exciting news is sure to come on the next episode.
