Episode 4 recap
The previous episode of American Horror Stories Season 2, titled Milkmaids, was directed by Alonso Alvarez-Barreda and written by Our Lady J. It aired on Thursday, August 11, and was set in 18th-century New England, where a village was devastated by smallpox.
Thomas tells Walter, the village pastor, of rumors that smallpox could be cured by eating the hearts of recently deceased victims.
Walter follows Thomas' advice and encourages his congregation to follow suit. The locals shun Celeste, a prostitute who had tried to warn them that Walter was corrupt. She takes refuge with a milkmaid named Delilah, and the two begin a relationship.
Delilah realizes that she and Celeste had previously contracted cowpox and had gotten immune to smallpox. As villagers eat hearts straight from the corpses of the dead, Delilah begs them to stop and offers them milk from an infected cow to protect against the disease.
Walter publicly denounces her, assaults Celeste, and stabs Thomas, who reveals that Celeste is the mother of his son Edward. Delilah kills Walter but is also killed by Thomas before he dies from his injuries. Edward, unaware that Celeste is his biological mother, repeats Walter's statement that the milkmaid is unclean and cuts out her heart to eat.
