Episode 11 ended with Mr. March banishing Miss Evers from his service when she confessed to being the one who turned him in into the police. However, Mr. March remains happy that the Countess will be by his side for all eternity, having been killed by John in the Hotel. John killed the Countess as his tenth commandment, thou shalt not commit murder. He kept her head as part of his collection.
However, John wasn’t the only person after the Countess. Liz Taylor and Iris attempted to murder the Countess by ambushing her penthouse, guns a blazing. However, they did not realize that Donovan was also in the room and shot him as well. Donovan dies, but Iris and Liz are able to get him out of the hotel before he passes. Iris ultimately rolls around in his ashes and has Miss Evers clean him up.
The Countess escapes and is found by Sally, who nurses her back to health. However, the Countess needs blood from a fellow infected to heal her wounds. With Donovan dead, she is forced to feed from two of her children.
We learn Sally’s back story of how she was a song writer and worked with two singers. The three went to the Hotel Cortez one night after recording do so drugs and have sex and Sally had the idea of stitching them to her body, so they would be “so close.” We hear Sally say her signature line “tell me you love me.” However, they both overdosed and died. Miss Evers, sensing this put a “do not disturb” sign on the door and Sally was left alone with the two bodies for five days. During this time, she was greeted by the addiction demon, which tortured her for three days until she tripped herself from the corpses of her lovers.
Ramona Royale also attempts to kill the Countess, as has been her goal since her introduction. However, the two end up just making love. We also see Queenie from American Horror Story: Coven, who Ramona feeds on after she’s killed by Mr. March. March is able to kill her as he is a ghost and her voodoo doll powers don’t work on him. He mentions that she could have had an affinity toward killing, like his students.
In Episode 12, Liz Taylor and Iris now have control over the Hotel Cortez, but business isn’t going well, as all of the spirits haunting the hotel are killing the live guests. In becomes a consensus than many of the Cortez inhabitants that the killings must end, but as of now there is no indication as to how that will happen.
We also see that the addiction demon gets a hold of Sally once again, which ultimately means that she hasn’t been able to keep John as her own.
The rest of the story unfolds Wednesday when American Horror Story: Hotel Season 5, Episode 12 airs Jan. 13 at 10 p.m. EDT on FX.
