American Horror Story: Hotel – Recap: “She Wants Revenge” (05×09)
December 10, 2015
When the episode first begins, we are presented with a close up on the Countess. She speaks of her life and explains to us that she is about a century old. Isn’t that a long time? We also see that she stands in front of the hole in which her old lovers were trapped in by James Patrick March. She starts rummaging through their belongings in the room that they were trapped and looks at old photographs that her true love left behind. After this scene is over we see The Countess and her current fiance Will Drake walking down the lobby discussing some wedding plans. The Countess must have a secret agenda since she doesn’t want to have an extravagant party, instead she wants something small, something that won’t catch anyone’s attention. As soon as they finished talking, The Countess walks over to Liz Taylor who still clearly has a grudge. The Countess asks Liz to have her flowers for her wedding by a certain date. When Liz replies, she obviously hates The Countess for killing her one true love. After this scene The Countess receives a phone call in her room about her true love that we last saw leave the hotel with this lady whom he was trapped with. This guy looks like a detective that The Countess hired to find the guy and the lady. Once she finds him, The Countess pays him a visit and from what it looks like, they still love each other. Here is a quick picture of Valentino.
In the next scene, The Countess patches up things with her former lover, Donovan. I am more than a little confused on The Countess’s agenda. Maybe her plan is to kill her fiance for his money, use Donovan for revenge, and stay with her old lovers. From what it looks like this whole episode mainly revolved around The Countess. There were some scenes after this mainly revolved around Donivan talking to his mother about his return. he lies to her and tells her that he is secretly trying to take the The Countess down, but in reality he has a secret agenda at the end. later we see The Countess’s fiance Will Drake talking with miss Evers, a dead worker who cleans at the hotel. She tries to warn drake about marrying The Countess, but he doesn’t listen. Poor miss Evers, she loved Patrick March but she couldn’t have him. Im curious to know what The Countess wants to do with the room her true love was trapped in. Later on in the episode, Donovan pays a visit to Ramona Royal who still wants revenge against The Countess. We get to better understand why she wants revenge on The Countess so bad. By the end of the scene, Donovan is able to convince Ramona he is on her side. I even believed it myself, it looks like getting revenge would benefit him more.
A little past half the episode, we see Alex Lowe who discoveries the group of kids who have been killing people to drink their blood. After this part ends, Ramona is inside the hotel along with Donovan. He tricks Ramona and ends up trapping her in a cage. We are taken back to the apartment where her true love Valentino is hiding away. They both speak and it looks like The Countess wants to take Valentino’s lady out of the picture. Close to the end we see Will Drake and The Countess in her beautiful dress getting married. How strange is it that Liz Taylor is the only one at the wedding? Will Drake is later taken to see The Countess’s baby, who he is scared of seeing. Of course, The Countess shows up and takes Will Drake down to where Ramona Royal is locked away. He wakes up and lets Ramona free, what was a mistake since she is hungry and needs to feed. She ends up killing Will Drake, who last sees poor miss Evers. She promised to watch him die as he pleads her to help him. While all of this is happening, The Countess is happily watching everything go down through the cameras she has set up inside. Hopefully in the next episode we get to find out what will happen to Donovan, Ramona Royal, and Valentino.
