Summary
In its twelfth season, American Horror Story delves into the realm of the bizarre, exploring English history through a captivating flashback. The storyline also takes a surprising twist as the true identities of Anna's cult followers are unveiled, while her pregnancy ventures into uncharted territory. Moreover, an intriguing secret involving Kim Kardashian's character adds an extra layer of mystery to the narrative.
In American Horror Story season 12, episode 4, the pregnancy storyline of Anna Alcott takes a bizarre turn, adding to her already strange behavior. In addition, a confusing flashback to English history further complicates matters. American Horror Story has always been known for its complex narrative. For instance, in season 7, Cult, the storyline initially focused on the 2016 election but transformed into a dark blend of fantasy, horror, and dark comedy involving killer clowns, Valerie Solanas' ghost, and the Zodiac Killer. Similarly, season 2, Asylum, started as a relatively straightforward story set in a corrupt mental institution, but soon introduced elements like zombies, possessed nuns, alien abductions, and serial killers disguised as Santa Claus.

: American Horror Story 12: Delicate Takes a Surreal Turn
In American Horror Story season 12 episode 3, Anna had an unsettling encounter with hooded, cloaked cultists. At first, it seemed like a hallucination, something conjured up in Anna's mind. But any sense of reassurance went out the window when the chilling opening of "Vanishing Twin" revealed that these cultists were real. In fact, they had been around since 1555, orchestrating Mary Tudor's rise to power in exchange for a horrifying demon child she bore. Behind their masks, the cultists were none other than Billie Lourd and Leslie Grossman, prominent actors in American Horror Story.

7 Anna's Crisis PR Team Is Connected To Her Pregnancy
In the contemporary storyline of American Horror Story season 12, Anna's condition was no better than Mary Tudor's. Despite having hope that her pregnancy was viable, an unstable Anna decided to bring a dead raccoon, infested with maggots, into her basement and dress it in baby clothes. Anna secretively placed the decaying carcass in a bassinet and comforted it while keeping it hidden from Nicolette. This unsettling moment revealed Anna's deteriorating mental state, and unfortunately, her best friend provided little support.
Shortly after witnessing a hooded cultist in her own backyard, Anna came face to face with the unmasked members of the cult disguised as crisis PR experts. Siobhan had hired them to help improve Anna's public image, and their proposal involved creating a feminist Instagram reel that would go viral. Despite the initial concern over casting Kardashian, given her limited acting background, this scene of American Horror Story season 12 brilliantly satirizes celebrity culture and proves that she is fully aware of the ongoing joke.
6 Siobhan Is Sleeping With The Director For Her Own Gain
Speaking of Kardashian’s character, "Vanishing Twin" soon unveiled that she has been concealing something from Anna. Siobhan has been engaging in a clandestine affair with Hamish, The Auteur’s oblivious director, who appears to be deeply infatuated with her. However, Siobhan does not reciprocate these feelings and instead labels him as "pathetic," even threatening to emasculate him if he continues to allude to the origin of his creative inspiration during interviews. Siobhan is aware of a dubious secret regarding Hamish's source of inspiration for The Auteur. However, by the conclusion of "Vanishing Twin," this secret remains undisclosed, with both Siobhan and Hamish still keeping it under wraps.
5 The Women Empowerment Video Helps Anna's Public Image
Despite the clichéd nature of the PR team's pitch (and the comically exaggerated nature of the promotional video itself), Anna's social media post promoting female empowerment gained the traction and popularity she desperately needed to restore her public image. The nauseating scene from season 12, episode 2 of American Horror Story turned into an absurd symbol of personal autonomy within Anna's larger-than-life viral post, which impressed Nicolette and managed to win over the online community, judging by its remarkable popularity.
4 Anna Is Still Pregnant After The Suspected Miscarriage
As if Anna's efforts to improve her image weren't enough, she received surprising news during an ultrasound appointment – her pregnancy was indeed viable. Initially, Dr. Hill dismissed the possibility, but he later admitted his mistake upon detecting a heartbeat. He attributed his error to the phenomenon known as "Vanishing twins," where miscarriages are misdiagnosed due to doctors overlooking multiple heartbeats during early scans. Although Anna's pregnancy seemed promising, there was a less positive development. As she was leaving the clinic, Anna noticed Nurse Ivy, who, this time, appeared even closer to her than before.
3 Dex's Mother Thinks She Was Satanically Abused By Her Husband
Dex's mother alleged that a therapist, specializing in repressed memories, convinced her that Dex's father had subjected her to years of forgotten Satanic ritual abuse. This parallels the storyline of the iconic horror film, Rosemary's Baby, while also reflecting a widespread trend during the 1980s. The dissemination of false claims about repressed memories led to a multitude of high-profile cases, such as the McMartin preschool trials, where innocent caregivers were wrongfully incarcerated for nonexistent Satanic ritual abuse.
2 Anna Gets Nominated For A Golden Globe
Even following her embarrassing public incident of vomiting while accepting the Gotham Award, Anna's challenging journey through awards season is far from over. The meticulously orchestrated PR campaign executed by two eccentric enthusiasts has proven successful in securing her a prestigious Golden Globe nomination. Anna discovered this fact during a restless night, filled with indulgence in ice cream and pickles. The peculiar noises emanating from the concealed door in the basement, which Anna had heard earlier, faded from her mind as she immersed herself in the news of her nomination. Nevertheless, this doesn't necessarily imply that her behavior reverted to normal. Instead, upon receiving the delightful news, Anna celebrated in a manner that defied convention.
1 Anna Eats The Dead Raccoon
Anna's behavior in "Vanishing Twin" was a clear sign that she was losing touch with reality. To make matters worse, both Kim Kardashian's character in American Horror Story and Matt Czuchry's suspicious love interest Dex seemed to be taking advantage of her. However, the ending of episode 4 of American Horror Story season 12 revealed that Anna herself was also in a disturbing state, as evidenced by her bizarre and dangerous actions.
