The freaks from Jupiter, Florida have already ended the curious circus fest on Wednesday as "American Horror Story: Freak Show" went out with the most apt finale title, "Curtain Call." With the horror anthology's fourth season having ended, fans had been theorizing what would be the next plot for the fifth season.
In a recap of the final episode, the freaks fought back as Dandy Mott (Finn Wittrock)finally got what he served as he was lured in to an empty glass water tank. Afterwards, the remaining freaks had the water come gushing in, with Dandy begging for his life with no avail. On the other hand, Elsa Mars (Jessica Lange) got what she wished for, as she finally made it as an actress. However, this would be short lived as producers and her husband realized the truth behind her physical defect. When Elsa breathe her last, she was taken to her freaks where she would join them in an eternal spectacle.
Elsa's demise would also serve as a link to the next season's possible plot through her husband, Massimo (Danny Houston), who had been suffering from lung and bone disease. Fans believed that Massimo's suffering was caused to by tests made on humans subjects that may have hazardous health effects. Fans theorized that the tests point out to the Army's Operation Top Hat that happened along the borders of the states of Nevadaand Utah around the 1950s, which could be the plot for the fifth season.
However, what was most saddening about the finale of Freak Show would be the news referring it as Jessica Lange's final "American Horror Story." The show's creator Ryan Murphy extended his thanks to the regal actress who wooed the fans from the first season. Murphy took on to the microblogging site, Twitter, the reason behind her departure from the show; the actress had already expressed her desire to retire as planned.
