D'AngeloHOST

D'AngeloHOST

Tony BejeranoHOST
Yeah.
KellyHOST
[whooshing sound] Okay.
KellyHOST
So episode four is titled, "Is That All There Is?" And it begins exactly where we left off on episode three, with Elizabeth just being informed that she is under the Apollyon building, and a group of robed people and Wilhelmina Venable are getting her dressed in her red sac- sacrification robes, I guess.
KellyHOST
I don't know what you'd call those.
AllisonHOST
[laughs]
KellyHOST
We watched three minutes of the episode is this.
KellyHOST
[laughs] So- It, yeah ... anyway.
KellyHOST
[laughs] She finishes her song and only Addie applauds, and she tries to exit stage right, but Ms. Venable is there and hands her a clipboard, directing her back to the mic so that she can actually do what they are here to do.
KellyHOST
Elsa gets a little attitude with her, but she takes the clipboard and goes back to the mic.
LeahHOST
Anyway.
LeahHOST
[laughs] She finishes her song and only Addie applauds, and she tries to exit stage right, but Miss Venable is there and hands her a clipboard, directing her back to the mic so that she can actually do what they are here to do.
LeahHOST
Elsa gets a little attitude with her, but she takes the clipboard and goes back to the mic.
LeahHOST
Elsa begins by welcoming to the stage their host, Mr. Nazz.
speaker_3HOST
Oh.
LeahHOST
Elsa mentions that this is their final night of the 12 Unholy Nights before the 13th day arises.
LeahHOST
She turns annoyed to Venable, who then finishes the intro for her, saying to Mr. Nazz, "We offer these to you so that you may reach your fullest potential." Mr.
LeahHOST
Nazz waves his hand in a circle and the floor that all the ladies in the red robes were, are waiting to be sacrificed or they're standing around, it opens up into a lava pit.
Media MelanieHOST
Not only that, but during those sacrifices, Sarah Paulson's various characters were dropped down into that portal multiple times.
Media MelanieHOST
The way the show flashed over to her as Wilhelmina Venable while these other characters were going down from hypodermic Sally, tuberculosis Karen, Mamie Eisenhower, who of course we saw in the double feature season.
Media MelanieHOST
The show's almost giving itself a pat on the back for being so clever.
Media MelanieHOST
And I mean, I love any time when we have the same actor playing multiple characters in one room and to get multiple Sarah Paulson's, Jessica Lange's, Evan Peter's, I mean, for me, that is most definitely the highlight.
KellyHOST
Now mind you, Elizabeth is standing right there hearing all of this, but clearly not listening or taking it in because she is just unfazed.
KellyHOST
They arrive down into a dungeon below the building where we see Sarah Paulson as Wilhelmina Venable from Apocalypse, and others in robes, and they're waiting for her.
KellyHOST
They walk Elizabeth into the place that she still believes to be a club or speakeasy, I think, despite not seeing a bar or hearing any music, and Kai informs Elizabeth that she is now under the Apollyon.
KellyHOST
And then he says, "Do you know what that means?" And that, I think, is the, is the clue that maybe she was...
LeahHOST
unfazed.

And Kai informs Elizabeth that she is now under the Apollon.
Tyler MossHOST
And I was looking this up.
Tyler MossHOST
This was like, which Sarah Paulson character is this? And it seems like this is Wilhelmina Venable from Apocalypse.
Tyler MossHOST
So that was, I feel like one of the more obscure Sarah Paulson characters too, that I don't remember as well.
Tyler MossHOST
So that was quite the throwback.
