Warning! This article contains spoilers from "Chapter 5" of American Horror Story: Roanoke.

Despite the fact that this season of American Horror Story started off confusing then branched out to be a bit silly (with the pig tails and skeletal face of Evan Peters against the torch), it appears like the story of the Millers has wrapped up (at least for now) when it comes to the true-life documentary that they have been a part of thus far.

Showrunner and co-creator Ryan Murphy has previously teased the a major twist is coming for episode sixe - a twist so big that Cuba Gooding Jr. (who plays reenactment Matt Miller) said he was mindblown after learning about it.

Co-creator Brad Falchuk further described this big twist as separating the season into two halves, where episodes one to five are one story, six to nine are another and episode 10 is "its own thing."

And with episode five airing on Wednesday night, audiences finally got the conclusion to what happened to the Miller family and how they were able to get away. This was much with the help of the debut of Evan Peter's character, Edward Phillip Mott, a ghost and the original owner of the house who would much rather help the living than have them haunting his quarters too.

We learned that although The Butcher (Kathy Bates) is responsible for killing all the spirits on the land, she is able to control them based on fear, which could be why Shelby (Sarah Paulson) reports to still have her haunt her to this day.

With Paulson's screams reaching new octaves this episode (ouch, that ankle injury), it was definitely a lot to take in between Peters appearing and then being killed 10 minutes in, seeing a Grudge-like girl scale the walls as the house came alive and learning more about the Polks family and their deal with The Butcher.

While it's still unknown who the Pig Man is, we do know that the Miller clan is able to escape the property and head back to Los Angeles - of course they did, since they lived to tell the tale.

And from the promo for next week, fans are introduced to this second story line that flips everything we thought this season was about on its head.

Instead of being about the Miller's story, it appears like Roanoke is shifting gears to now be about the filmmakers who are exploring the paranormal occurrences that happen on the land.

It makes sense that the team of filmmakers were interviewing the Millers and others like the Uber driver and historian to get all the information they need for their ghost story. They are probably a crew that is part of some Ghost Hunters-like series who have plans of capturing the hauntings on tape for themselves.

While the promo for next week's episode is extremely short, we see that Cheyenne Jackson is the man behind the documentary, or the host of the My Roanoke Nightmare show or film who seems to be really comfortable in front of the camera.

The clip doesn't reveal much, but we do know that Jackson's character is determined to capture everything.

"The camera never stops, no matter what anybody says. Even if I tell you to stop, you keep rolling," he says.

It looks like the team is walking through a hotel corridor and out by the lobby or a business office and not the Mott mansion, but that doesn't mean they aren't on their way there.

In the beginning of episode five, the historian is asked if she believes the house in haunted, so this could further be proof that they are searching for a paranormal encounter.

We will just have to wait and see as Roanoke shifts gears these next few episodes.

American Horror Story: Roanoke airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET on FOX. Watch the promo for "Chapter 6" below.
