‘American Horror Stories’ Season 2 Episode 5 recap: ‘Bloody Mary’
Season 2 episode 5 centers on another urban legend: Bloody Mary. According to the legend, a spirit known as Bloody Mary will appear in a mirror when someone chants her name three times in a dimly-lit room. She can grant the person a wish and see their future, but she’ll ask for something in return. If the person doesn’t fulfill her request, Bloody Mary will claw their eyes out.
During a sleepover, Elise (Raven Scott), her little sister Bianca (Quvenzhané Wallis), and friends Lena (Kyanna Simone) and Maggie (Kyla Drew) decide to summon Bloody Mary (Dominique Jackson). The spirit appears and offers to grant each of them a wish if they ruin the lives of other people. Bianca can get into Yale if she accuses her guidance counselor of being a predator; Lena can become cheer captain if she drops the current captain from the pyramid, paralyzing her; Maggie can get her ex-boyfriend back if she uploads nude photos and videos of his current girlfriend online. Elise wants wealth and a better life away from her neglectful mother, but she keeps her task a secret.
The girls refuse to do what Bloody Mary says, but she haunts them in every reflection they see, showing them terrifying images. Elise encourages everyone to stick to their morals while she finds another solution. However, she takes too long, and Lena and Maggie are both found dead with their eyes scratched out.
Elise can still save her sister. She studies the tale of Bloody Mary — a captured slave who killed her captors with a knife and psychokinesis — and steals the knife from the local museum. She and Bianca head to the woods where Bloody Mary was held captive. As they summon Bloody Mary again, Elise reveals that she killed Lena and Maggie to collect the blood of innocents and free the spirit to get her wish. She needs Bianca’s blood, too, but Bianca fights back and takes Elise’s blood instead.
Bianca frees Bloody Mary, but it comes at another cost: She must be the new Bloody Mary. The episode ends with Bianca trapped in a mirror forever, doomed to carry out the legend.
