The second episode of “American Horror Story: 1984” was very solid.

WARNING: THERE ARE GOING TO BE SPOILERS BELOW. DO NOT KEEP READING IF YOU AREN’T CAUGHT UP.

Mr. Jingles” had some great moments throughout the episode. First, let’s dive right into the major moment that I think we can take away from the episode.

Jonas, the guy who got hit by a vehicle in episode one and disappeared when Brooke went looking for him, is a ghost.

He was there in 1970 when the first massacre occurred with Mr. Jingles and saw Margaret covered in blood. Now, the show wants us to think Margaret was in the middle of being a victim.

However, it’s not clear right now if that was the case. We don’t actually see any of the killing through Jonas’ eyes in 1970s. We see Margaret covered in blood and then Jonas being killed as he tried to flee.

I want to stress this as much as possible, I’m not willing to say for sure right now Mr. Jingles killed Jonas or the massacre played out as we’re led to believe. (RELATED: REVIEW: ‘American Horror Story: 1984′ Gets Off To A Strong Start In Premiere, Is Primed For Success)

Of course, we do know Mr. Jingles kills. We’ve seen him do it before, including early on in the episode with the person from the mental hospital.

Another interesting point from the episode that aired Wednesday night was the fact Brooke almost got married, but her husband massacred people before killing himself at the wedding when he thought she slept with a guy in the wedding party.

That whole scene was outrageous, but I kind of loved it. We also learned she’s a virgin. We all know what happens to virgins in horror movies. Once you have sex, you might as well just kill yourself off.

We also had Xavier’s porn producer show up to encourage him to get back into the game before he was killed off by the Night Stalker, who is the infamous real-life serial killer Richard Ramirez.

There’s dead bodies hitting the ground all over the place through two episodes, and I’m here for all the action.

Ramirez and Margaret also had a little heart to heart. Again, this makes me think that what we’re being led to believe about the leader of Camp Redwood might not be true.

Something’s off. I’m just not sure I know what it is just yet.

Through two episodes, “1984” has been the best season in several years, and I’m loving it. The entire summer camp storyline is awesome, the cast is great and I’m really enjoying the whole thing.

Tune in next week on FX to find out what happens next. You know I’ll be watching!

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
