Warning: SPOILERS ahead for American Horror Story: Delicate episode 1.

Summary

In the premiere episode of American Horror Story: Delicate, a haunting mystery unfolds as a mysterious intruder invades Anna's home, accompanied by a string of bizarre events. Tantalizing suspicions point towards Sonia, portrayed by Cara Delevigne, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Dex's former spouse and exhibits unsettling conduct.

Siobhan, Anna's publicist, portrayed by Kim Kardashian, has successfully revamped Anna's career and is currently promoting her new independent film. Meanwhile, Anna finds herself struggling with feelings of envy towards Dex's deceased wife, Adeline.

The much-anticipated 12th season of American Horror Story, titled "Delicate," made its debut with a chilling, first episode. This season follows Anna Victoria Alcott, portrayed by Emma Roberts, an actress striving to conceive a child with her husband, Dexter Harding. However, Anna's pregnancy takes an extraordinary turn, as she encounters a series of peculiar events in the premiere episode alone. Joining the cast alongside the American Horror Story veteran is Kim Kardashian, a newcomer to acting. Despite her limited experience in the field, the reality star has achieved immense success, having built a billion-dollar empire since the premiere of Keeping Up With The Kardashians in 2007.

American Horror Story: Delicate's Premiere Hinted That Sonia Was The Woman In Anna's Apartment

Unlike its previous bone-chilling seasons, the twelfth installment of American Horror Story draws inspiration from the haunting pages of Danielle Valentine's gripping novel, Delicate Condition. While some variances may exist between the televised adaptation and the source material, the fundamental plot of season 12 remains faithful to the book. Adding to the intrigue, the talented Cara Delevigne assumes a mystifying role in this season. The premiere of American Horror Story: Delicate is filled with significant events, including the encounter between the characters portrayed by Kardashian and Roberts.

The premiere episode of American Horror Story: Delicate opens with a thrilling chase, as Anna, portrayed by Roberts, desperately flees from an unknown intruder. The narrative then moves back in time, a week before this intense encounter, and continues to unfold from that point. The true identity of the mysterious intruder remains cloaked in ambiguity, seemingly connected to various chilling events witnessed in the premiere of American Horror Story season 12. Towards the conclusion of the episode, Anna reawakens from a nightmare, startled to find what she believes to be blood stains on her body, only to discover that it is actually her lipstick. This particular lipstick was gifted to her by a friend of her husband Dexter's former spouse, Adeline, earlier in the episode.

While Anna may be mistaken about the blood, it appears that her belief that someone entered her house is correct. A shadowy figure bearing a resemblance to a young woman was witnessed sprinting through Anna's residence before making a swift exit through the front door. Several potential suspects come to mind, given Anna's encounters with enigmatic individuals throughout the episode. One such person is a mature woman named Preecher, who inexplicably starts haunting Anna while at the doctor's office. However, it seems unlikely that Preecher could move through Anna's apartment as rapidly as the intruder who infiltrates her home.

The more plausible culprits are either Cara Delevigne's character or a woman named Sonia. Delevigne's character can be spotted appearing unexpectedly in various locations, such as outside Anna's house and the doctor's office, lurking nearby and closely observing Anna's actions. On the other hand, Sonia is an artist whose artwork is exhibited at Dexter's gallery, raising Anna's suspicion due to her striking resemblance to Dexter's former spouse. During an encounter at the gallery, Sonia compliments Anna's new red lipstick, suggesting that she may be the perpetrator who unlawfully entered Anna's residence, as evidenced by Anna's nightgown and rug being stained with smudged lipstick, and a message written on her mirror using the same lipstick.

Anna's History With Siobhan & Why She Was Hired As Her Publicist

Kardashian takes on the role of Siobhan, Anna's publicist who is a brilliant PR strategist inspired by Kris Jenner. In the premiere episode of American Horror Story: Delicate, it is revealed that Siobhan and Anna crossed paths in an IVF support group. Sadly, Siobhan never succeeded in conceiving a child. Nevertheless, Anna decided to switch from her previous publicist, DeDe, to Siobhan's company due to Siobhan's proficiency despite her age. While Anna gained recognition for her acting in the CW teen drama, Summer Day, Siobhan has successfully rebranded her. Currently, Siobhan is working hard to promote Anna's new indie film, The Auteur, which has generated significant Oscar buzz.

What Happened To Dex's Wife Adeline In American Horror Story: Delicate

Anna discovers an article on Dexter's ex-wife, Adeline Harding, while conducting a Google search. Tragically, Adeline met her demise in a kitchen fire, leaving little information available about her in the episode. The initial installment only hints at Anna's struggles with jealousy towards her husband's former spouse. Anna suspects that he still harbors feelings for Adeline and is intrigued by an artist who bears a striking resemblance to her.

Who Is Io Preecher & What Does She Want With Anna

Io Preecher, a character shrouded in enigma, seems to relentlessly haunt Anna in American Horror Story: Delicate. Their eerie encounter takes place at the doctor's office, where Preecher surprises Anna by claiming familiarity. Assuming it to be a case of mistaken identity, Anna presumes Preecher recognizes her as a renowned actress. However, Preecher's intentions unveil a deeper meaning as she firmly asserts, "You are her." This revelation prompts a reprimand from one of the doctor's office staff. Intriguingly, Preecher resurfaces later, this time in the audience during Anna's appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

It is ambiguous whether this is solely one of Anna's hallucinations or if there is a blurred line between reality and Anna's imagination. The most terrifying scene occurs during Anna's procedure when she dreams of Preecher entering the room and placing her bloodied mouth on Anna's sewn shut mouth. However, in the preview for episode 2 of American Horror Story: Delicate titled "Rockabye," Preecher is seen warning someone who resembles Dexter's mother about the danger her son and his wife, referring to Anna, are in.

Preecher's true nature remains uncertain in the premiere of season 12 of American Horror Story. There is a possibility that she genuinely cares for Anna's well-being. Anna struggles with trusting those around her, and the preview for the entire season suggests that this will continue in American Horror Story: Delicate. It is understandable that Anna is frightened of Preecher, who appears to be stalking her. Moreover, Anna constantly encounters other individuals wherever she goes.

However, Preecher's enigmatic persona may not pose a danger after all. Although the initial episode merely provides a glimpse into Preecher's personality, she might possess the guidance that Anna truly requires, as opposed to the individuals she believes to be reliable. Manifestly, there is something dubious transpiring with the medical professionals, and Preecher could potentially rescue Anna and Dexter from a distressingly reminiscent scenario reminiscent of Rosemary's Baby in American Horror Story: Delicate.
