American Horror Story: Apocalypse 8x03 "Forbidden Fruit" Episode Review
Major spoilers are included in this episode review. Read with Caution.
I am excited to write this episode review! Hey fellow fans of this twisted series! Here’s a quick explanation on why I didn’t write episode reviews of the last two episodes: they didn’t feel like crossover episodes beside Michael Langdon and Rubber Suit. They were nice, but I didn’t have any enough interest to write the reviews.
BUT THIS EPISODE GOT ME IN A WRITING MOOD!
We got more information on our more intriguing characters like Michael, the robot Mead, and Mallory. I realized their names all started with the letter “M'“. Let’s call them the Three M’s for the purpose of this review.
Mallory is a witch or demon. There. I said it. The scene between Michael and Mallory was super unexpected. I couldn’t believe all that “demon-face” and hissing happened. Supernatural forces are at work in this Outpost! Who or what the hell is Mallory? Theories are centered around her being Zoe Benson, the witch from the Coven season.
Let’s talk about the return of Cordelia, Madison, and Myrtle. These three witches arriving at the bunker in the aftermath of the “apple” massacre was the greatest part of the episode. It took the entire Apocalypse cast to die, but it was worth it. They, or rather Cordelia, resurrected their “fallen sisters” Mallory, Coco, and Dinah from the dead.
Then Madison dropped her most infamous line: “Surprise bitch!” oh how I enjoyed her saying it. But then I questioned the meaning within the context of the episode. Have Madison and Mallory met? Which brings us back to the whole “Zoe is possessing Mallory” theory.
Michael is going to have his hands full facing off against the Coven and their Supreme. He is also taken back by Mallory’s powers and may have tried to decimate the witches before the world ended. He also revealed Mead is based on the only woman who ever loved him…
OMG is Constance coming back or living through Mead? I’m too excited about all of this!
Anyway, rest in peace Apocalypse cast, I was only ever here for the Murder House/Coven crossover stuff anyway. Next week’s episode is going to be so good! Yes!
