'American Horror Story season 4' episode 12 spoilers: Chester to wreak havoc in the circus?

Chester, played by actor Neil Patrick Harris.

Only three episodes are left in the latest season of "American Horror Story," but it does not mean that things are slowing down. On the contrary, when the series returned after its winter hiatus, two new characters were introduced to add more color to the show.

Actor/ thespian Neil Patrick Harris appears as Chester, the new owner of the freak show carnival in Jupiter, Florida. He brought with him the doll named Marjorie, whose human form is portrayed by Jamie Brewer. These new shady characters seem to be the adding new threats in the already diminishing characters in the carnival. 

In the upcoming episode of the show titled "Show Stoppers," Chester's and Marjorie's characters will be given further time in the spotlight. The official synopsis for "American Horror Story: Freak Show" reads:

"Dandy gives the Twins troubling information about Chester. Maggie vows to prove her loyalty to Jimmy. The Freaks enforce their harsh code of justice." 

Spoilers claim that the ruthless, murderous Dandy (Finn Wittrock) will approach the already smitten Tattler twins (Sarah Paulson) to tell them about Chester's dark past. There are also reports that the twins' lives are in grave danger, as Marjorie's jealousy springs after Chester sleeps with them. She will ask him to saw the girls in half. But apparently, the video teaser for the episode shows that Chester is sawing Maggie (Emma Roberts) instead, while Chester is hallucinating that he is seeing another woman inside the box. 

Could this mean that Maggie will die after trying to make amends with Jimmy (Evan Peters), who's deformed "lobster" hands have been cut off? Will her con partner Stanley (Denis O'Hare) help her if Chester traps her inside the magic box before her body is cut in half?

Meanwhile, former carnival manager Elsa Mars (Jessica Lange) is now in Hollywood. Can she do something about the current predicament of the freaks in Jupiter now that their protector Dell (Michael Chiklis) is dead? 

"American Horror Story: Freak Show" episode 12 airs on Wednesday, Jan. 14.
