In the next episode of "American Horror Story: Cult," Kai Anderson (Evan Peters) and his follower Beverly Hope (Adina Porter) look for new recruits into their cult.

The trailer for the upcoming installment titled "Valerie Solanas Died for Your Sins: Scumbag" was just released which showed Anderson and Hope inside of the house of a cult leader played by Frances Conroy. After meeting the leader, they both inspect the premises as they walk slowly down the staircase. "We need fresh blood," Hope says to Anderson. It seems they are looking for potential recruits into their cult. They are possibly even looking to absorb another cult into their own.

In the process of their observing, Porter and Anderson seemingly are not on the same page about something. "You need to trust me," Anderson tells his follower Porter who works as a news journalist at the local TV station. In the last scene, the cult leader played by Conroy tells Porter, "I know what it means to assassinate a man." It seems that the two cults are not so different from each other when it comes to murder and mayhem.

In the last episode, Meadow Wilton (Leslie Grossman) shot Anderson and a number of others at a town rally. The crowd panicked almost immediately and ran for cover. Ivy Mayfair-Richards (Alison Pill) was there and was caught in the gunfire. Her partner Ally Mayfair-Richards (Sarah Paulson) was also in the crowd looking for Wilton so that she could stop her from terrorizing the crowd.

Wilton eventually shot herself in the mouth and died. Ivy grabbed the gun from her but was arrested by the police who thought that she was the shooter. Anderson survived the shooting as he smiled in the ambulance truck.

"American Horror Story: Cult" season 7 episode 7 will air on Tuesday, Oct. 17 at 10 p.m. EDT on FX.
