You can never have too much Sarah Paulson.
Believe it or not, the 10-episode season “American Horror Story: Roanoke” is already coming to a close next Wednesday night, November 16th. Tonight’s penultimate episode saw the series return of actress Taissa Farmiga, who played an internet journalist obsessed with the show-within-the-show, “My Roanoke Nightmare.” By episode’s end, Farmiga’s character was brutally butchered, Cannibal Holocaust-style, by the Roanoke ghosts, and so too was, well, everyone who was still living going into Episode 9. The only one who made it out alive? Lee Harris.
After eating a pig heart given to her by a mysterious woman out in the woods – the real life version of the character Lady Gaga played in the re-enactment series – Lee became possessed and went on a murderous rampage, essentially becoming the new Butcher. At the end of the episode, the cops “rescued” Lee, believing her to be the sole survivor of the gruesome carnage.
So what comes next? In a teaser clip shown at the end of tonight’s episode, we saw that Sarah Paulson will be playing her third character this season in next Wednesday night’s finale, and it’s one who is undoubtedly a familiar face to fans of the FX series. “Roanoke” will officially cross over with “Asylum,” as Paulson is reprising the role of Lana Winters in the Season 6 finale.
Allow Wikipedia to refresh your memory:
Lana Winters is a journalist who is committed to Briarcliff Manor under false pretenses by Sister Jude, for trying to expose its darkest secrets.
