Warning! This article features spoilers from "American Horror Story: Hotel" episode 9. Read at your own risk!
American Horror Story: Hotel gave us the moment we've all been waiting for Wednesday night: finally seeing Gaga getting married in a gorgeous wedding gown. But besides the countess' elegant fashion choices throughout the episode, things did get a little messy for the lead character.
That's right, the wedding between Countess Elizabeth and Will Drake (Cheyenne Jackson) went according to plan—well, as close to the plan as the countess could have hoped for.
As everyone is beginning to resent the countess, she continues to be one step ahead, clearly knowing the importance of the phrase keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Point in the case is the plot twist surrounding Ramona Royale (Angela Bassett) and Donovan's (Matt Bomer) plan to get revenge, which went off the rails. At least the countess got her way for the time being, even having the popcorn ready as she had a front seat at her little show.
But this doesn't mean things will continue to go her way. We learn next week that wives simply just get in the way when it comes to things at Hotel Cortez.
Titled "She Gets Revenge," next week's episode focuses on some unfinished business among the characters. The promo reveals that some characters are fearful of their fate when it comes to the countess, while others realize they should have killed her when they had a chance.
We wonder if Ramona will finally satisfy her burning desire to get rid of her archenemy, but for now it seems like she's hit a brick wall. There's always hope that Donovan comes to his senses, but at least Iris (Kathy Bates) and Liz Taylor (Denis O'Hare) appear to be on the same side.
Directed by Bradley Buecker and written by James Wong, the official synopsis for the episode is as follows:
Alex enlists John's help in containing an outbreak. Donovan learns The Countess' true intentions. Liz and Iris plan to leave the hotel for good.
American Horror Story: Hotel episode 10 airs at 10 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 16, on FX. Watch the promo for "She Gets Revenge" below.
