American Horror Story: Hotel, Season 5, Episode 1
Title: "Checking In"
Aired: 10/7/2015

Synopsis: In this premiere, we meet quite a few of the characters who occupy the Hotel Cortez; Iris (Kathy Bates), Hypodermic Sally (Sara Paulson), Det. John Lowe (Wes Bentley), (Donovan) Matt Bomer, Dr. Alex Lowe (Chloë Sevingny), Liz Taylor (Denis O'Hare), Will Drake (Cheyenne Jackson), The Countess (Lady Gaga), and Gabriel (Max Greenfield).

The Hotel Cortez seems to be a place where people come to stay...forever! Kidding aside, that's one of the main pieces of info we learn in this episode. The other is that Det. Lowe has been working a grisly case involving a very creative serial killer. He's checking into the Cortez because his son has been kidnapped (presumably by the serial killer) and his wife, Alex, can't be in the same house as him on account of him looking so much like their missing son. 

This first episode is definitely a setup for what could potentially be a pretty awesome season. Here's hoping they don't blow it.

Synopsis: Dandy is trying to get everyone ready for the show - the show that Dandy now owns. However, when Paul tells him that not one ticket has been sold, we are blessed with a Dandy fit. He insults the acts, telling them they're terrible and they turn around and punch him (Amazon Eve), tell him that he'll never be one of them, and then they all quit. Elsa is out in Hollywood trying to make it but is finding it much harder than she'd thought. Dandy takes out almost all of the show players and kidnaps the twins so they can finally be together - but they have other plans. How will it end for the Freak Show folk?!

Synopsis: Elsa's farewell party takes an unfortunate turn when it's revealed that Chester will take over as owner of the freak show. Stanley finally pays the price for his role in all the freak murders (it's about GD time!). Elsa pays a visit to Jimmy and informs him of Dell's death (way to kick a guy when he's down). She also lets him know that a friend of hers will lend him a hand (eh? eh?) with getting out of his current predicament. Maggie volunteers to be Chester's assistant but bites off a little more than she can chew. Ever trying to eff things up for any potential suitors of the twins', Dandy shows them what his detective has discovered about Chester. They freak out and run away.
