Recap of episode 6

The previous episode of American Horror Stories Season 2, titled Facelift, was directed by Marcus Stokes and written by Manny Coto. It aired on Thursday, August 25 and starred Judith Light, Rebecca Dayan, Britt Lower, Todd Waring and Cornelia Guest.

The episode was about Virginia Mellon, a woman in her late fifties who wishes to look younger. Her acquaintance refers her to Dr. Enid Perle, an anti-aging specialist. Virginia faces excruciating pain and is plagued by demonic visions as she recovers.

Virginia dismisses her stepdaughter Fay's concerns about her doctor and travels to Perle's private lodge to recuperate. Fay decides to accompany Virginia to the lodge, but is apprehended and sedated by security. When Perle takes off Virginia's bandages, she is taken aback by her new disfigured porcine face.

It turns out that Perle and her staff are members of a cult that worships beauty, and Virginia was to be their annual ritual sacrifice to the deity Étain. They let Virginia loose on the lodge grounds, giving her a chance to flee if she crossed the stream. However, she is pursued and killed by cult members along the way, including Cassie. Perle then informs Fay, who is in tears, that her birth mother was one of Étain's followers.

Later, a confident Fay returns to university with the cult's signature butterfly tattoo. She recognizes a young man as another member of the cult and then the two walk together to their destination.
