American Horror Story: Cult episode 8 live stream: Watch online
By Tina Wargo
New alliances are formed, surprise betrayals have been revealed, and the cult members are dropping like flies. What’s next on AHS: Cult?
Last week’s historical deep dive into the long-lost radical life of Valerie Solanas was jarring, moving, more than a little fictionalized, and totally entertaining. As we learned, the militant feminist group Solanas started in the ’70s turned out to serve as inspiration not only for the ladies of the cult (namely Winter, Ivy, and Beverly), but for the big man, too: the momentum of girl power that looked likely to overturn his reign of terror was quickly co-opted by Kai himself.
We ended the episode with the cult’s dynamics reframed, the women’s relationships with Kai, each other, and the world re-contextualized, and the huge reveal that Kai had orchestrated the whole empowerment angle in order to take the women down from the inside.
And though our modern day story was only a small part of the action of episode 7, big things happened in the few minutes the cult was active. For one, Harrison is now dead. The women brutally murdered him, but not before questioning him about what Kai did to Meadow. Kai and Winter’s relationship also took quite a turn, and their power dynamic is more complicated than ever. Kai seems to want to use he and Winter’s familial relationship to manipulate her; she seems to be ready to allow him to think he’s succeeding.
With only a few episodes left of this twisty, too-real season, more and more answers are bound to come along with each new episode- or, at least, fewer questions.
To (hopefully) have some of those questions explored, watch here:
