American Horror Story Freak Show: Episode 9 Recap: Occupational Hazards Of Tupperware Ladies

"Tupperware Party Massacre" begins with Dandy opening the door for the Avon Lady. It's that poor woman's unlucky day. Dandy uses Gloria's and the unnamed Avon Lady's heads to make a life size Dot & Bette puppet. Pretty gruesome stuff.

Get It Together Drunk Crustacean

Back at the freak show, Jimmy is still mourning Ethel's death and drunk off his ass. Although lets face it, he really doesnt need an excuse to drink. Sexual innuendos fly as he feeds Ima. Dandy visits Esmerelda for a psychic reading. She is of course a fake so doesnt really see what he's up to. Jimmy screams that Dandy is the other killer clown (but no one believes him). Dandy privately tells Jimmy he will destroy everything and everyone that Jimmy loves. I assume that includes Maggie.

Stanley and Elsa find the twins at the motel where Ethel stashed them. Elsa says the doctor who specializes in separating conjoined twins (Dr Sugar) is going to examine them. Meanwhile Maggie and Desiree find Jimmy and Ima going at it. Maggie tells Ima Jimmy will have sex with anything. Ima has feelings for Jimmy so this isnt going to be pretty.

If Only You Would Have Stuck With Tupperware Instead Of A Gigolo None Of This Would Have Happened

Jimmy is at his regular gig servicing Tupperware ladies (but he's drunk and cant perform). Now he's having visions of Ethel as well. Never count anyone out on this show just because they're dead. Jimmy stumbles out. Dandy knocks on the door asking if he can use their phone. His car has broken down outside. Uh oh. Run Tupperware ladies!! The husband returns home that evening to find all the party goers dead and floating in the pool. There is blood everywhere. More gruesome stuff.

Run Regina! Your Mother Is Not Out Buying Squash!

Regina arrives back at the Mott mansion. Dandy tells her he killed her mother. Dandy wants to take a bath with Regina (like they used to when they were little). A naked Dandy terrorizes Regina but says he doesnt want to kill her. He lets her leave saying "I am above the law... I am the law.").

Somebody Needs A Hug

Bette and Regina have a heart to heart. Bette tells Dot she will gladly give her life if one of them has to die during the surgery. This is the first time we've seen the twins acknowledge that they deeply care for each other. Dr Sugar is of course a scam. He's Stanley's boy toy from earlier in the season. Stanley's plan to anesthetize the twins and sell them to the museum is getting closer to becoming a reality.

Stanley encounters Del on the road. He says Andy left Del. We of course know Dandy killed him instead. Stanley whips his big penis out. Del calls him a freak. We're not sure exactly what happens next but you can guess. I love ya Denis O'Hare but I could have done without seeing (and hearing) that.

You're Weak Del

Next we see Del writing a suicide note. The ghosts of Ma Petite (who Del killed) and Ethel are also there. Ethel tells Del he keeps his shame on the inside where it eats away at him. The rest of the freaks wear their shame on the outside (which is much healthier). Ethel encourages Del to kill himself saying it wont take much work. He puts his head in the noose and kicks the stool away. Del is close to death but Desiree saves him in the nick of time. Side Note: Malcolm Jamal Warner was in this episode as Desiree's new love interest but if you blinked, he was gone. Not sure if he'll be back.

Regina is back at the Moot household. This time with the fuzz. Dandy tells the detective he will give him a million dollars cash to kill Regina. The detective does not hesitate and shots Regina square in the forehead.

Dot and Bette run away (wise choice) and end up in Jimmy's trailer. Dot says she loves Jimmy. She/they disrobe. Jimmy asks Bette how she feels about this situation (since it affects her). Bette says she supports Dot (and can go away in her head for a while to give them privacy). Jimmy then breaks Dot's heart. He says he cares about both of them but "the truth is, I'm on love with someone else". Is that Maggie? Sorry not buying that he wouldnt have sex with Dot and Bette (since he's been bedding everyone else in town.) Anyway, the police arrive and arrest Jimmy for the Tupperware lady murders. Lobster Boy's glove was found in the house.

I Really Hope We Get Something To Do Next Week Besides Stand Here

Penny "The Amazing Lizard Girl" was nowhere to be seen this week. Pepper, Salt, Amazon Eve, Suzie and Paul also didnt have much to do except their usual (look on in disbelief as the police drag someone away).

Favorite Quotes:

"You're nothing. You could be a pillow, a donut, a sock"- Maggie to Ima regarding Jimmy's true feelings for her.
"I am above the law... I am the law."- a naked Dandy to Regina.
"Got a shovel?"- cop to Dandy after he shoots Regina for $1 million.
"I am so tired of our life together Bette, this intolerable arranged marriage."- Dot to Bette. "I would rather have one of us truly live then have both of us waste away."- Bette to Dot. "I love you Bette". "I love you Dot."
Del: "Ethel if you're here to talk me out of it, I've already made up my mind." Ethel: "Talk ya out of it, hell, I'm here to watch."
Dot (as she disrobes): "You are special Jimmy. Let me take your pain away".
"Not many men can say they have a blond and a brunette for a wife."- Dot to Jimmy.

Grade: 4 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). A great episode. I hated Dandy originally but now he's one of my favorites. Yes I know that's bad to say since he's a psycho killer. There are only two more episodes left in "Freak Show"-- one next week and then the finale in January. How will it wrap up? Arent Pepper and Sister Mary Eunice supposed to have some scenes? I'm rooting for Dot and Bette to survive but the odds are not good. I hope Stanley and his ginormous appendage end up in the same museum. Now that would be poetic justice.
