After the previous chilling revelations about the Countess's deep, darkest secret, more unsettling truths about Lady Gaga's character in "American Horror Story: Hotel" will be unveiled this week.
Based on the trailer for the upcoming episode titled "Flicker," viewers of the hit horror anthology from FX will find out more about the Countess's past. She is seen talking to a masked man inside a place that seems to be a church because of the stained glass windows, and he will ask her to join them before kissing her neck with an unidentified woman. However, there is no detail revealed regarding the invitation.
The trailer also shows the Countess as she catches her presumably ex-husband James Patrick March (Evan Peters) in the middle of killing someone. But instead of being surprised or afraid, the Countess looks undisturbed. She even tells him that the next time he kills someone, she wants to be there to watch. This makes the founder of Hotel Cortez extra excited.
These events just prove how ruthless the Countess is, especially after it is revealed that she tried to abort her child in the previous episode. But it turned out that fetus was alive, and it has been living in the hotel's Room 33 for decades.
Last week's episode of "American Horror Story: Hotel" also revealed that the Countess killed her lover Tristan (Finn Wittrock) after she learned that he was cheating on her with the hotel's transgender bartender Liz Taylor (Denis O'Hare).
In an interview with MTV News, O'Hare teased that things will be different between his character and Lady Gaga's. The viewers know that Liz owes a lot to the Countess, but the death of her first true love could affect her relationship with the hotel's present owner.
"You know, I think things are going to get frosty," O'Hare teased. "There's definitely some stuff coming down the pike. I have a couple little scenes with her where Liz is just sort of done."
"American Horror Story: Hotel" episode 7 airs Wednesday, Nov. 18, on FX.
