“American Horror Story: 1984” continued to be great with episode three “Slashdance.”

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

Wow, what an incredible episode on all fronts. There are three points I want to dive into, and let’s not waste any time. (REVIEW: ‘American Horror Story: 1984’ Gets Off To A Strong Start In Premiere, Is Primed For Success)

First, turns out Nurse Rita isn’t a nurse at all. In fact, her name isn’t even Rita. She’s a Donna Chambers, and she’s studying serial killers for her degree. Fresh off interviewing Ted Bundy and many others, she kidnaps the real nurse Rita in a flashback scene and schemes with Mr. Jingles for his release.

She wants to see him in the wild and in his natural element of killing. That’s exactly what she gets as he rains down chaos on Camp Redwood.

In our current timeline, he eventually uses a sharpened oar to murder the real nurse. I have to admit, I didn’t see the twist/reveal coming when she injected Brooke with horse tranquilizers. Hell of a curveball!

Secondly, our boy Ray got himself beheaded to end the episode. He tried to make a run for freedom after revealing himself to have murdered a kid during a hazing incident in college.

Earlier in the episode, the Night Stalker cut him up when he was, once again, attempting to flee without thinking of anybody else. When he finally met his fate, Mr. Jingles baseball swung an axe to Ray’s head and sent it flying.

Speaking of the Night Stalker, in the final big reveal of the episode, we see Montana and the infamous killer cornered off after Ray flees.

Is Montana about to die? Well, it sure looked that way until the two passionately embraced, and Montana asked why “she” wasn’t dead yet.

Turns out, these two know each other and appear to be very much working together. Another unexpected twist!

Through three episodes, “American Horror Story: 1984” has been outstanding, and is the best season in years.

Well done, FX. It’s great to be back at the top. Tune in next week on FX to catch episode four!

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.
