5 sentence review American Horror Story

Season 1, Episode 11: “Birth”

5. They had a regular ghost-a-palooza at the Murder House in the penultimate episode of the first season of “American Horror Story.”

4. Vivien (Connie Britton) is released from the mental ward but goes into labor three months early — in the house, of course.

3. All the house’s ghosts participate in the birth — including the abortionist Dr. Montgomery (Matt Ross), his wife Nora (Lily Rabe), the nurses slain in a spree killing and others — as one kid is stillborn but the other, likely the Antichrist, survives but the troubled birth adds Vivien to the ghost roster.

2. Violet (Taissa Farmiga) tries to get rid of Chad (Zachary Quinto) and Patrick (Teddy Sears), but succeeds only in learning that Tate (Evan Peters) murdered them and raped her mother, so she breaks up with him.

1. I’m still riveted by the “America Horror Story,” but it must be getting awfully crowded in the spirit planes of Murder House and one wonders how long it wil be until Ben (Dylan McDermott) either joins them or takes Vivien’s place in the looney bin.

Violet is dead, but the young woman who plays her, Taissa Farmiga, is very much alive.
