Remember when that Gay dude said to Evan Peters that he wished his wife was dead. Yeah, Evan Peters made it happen. He's deffo the cult leader

I am starting to think both Evan Peters and his sister (Winter) are the leaders of the cult. Also, guessing the election was a coin toss and the "horror" to follow was determined by Pres Trump/Evan Peters Vs. Hillary/Winter. Winner's choice.

The things I wonder about: Is the therapist running his own game - yet in cahoots with Evan/Winter? The original couple killed - patients of the therapist? Does the therapist order a fetish kill once his patient is "cured"?

Kai and Winter could be the leaders with everyone, the therapist, the cop, all working with them as part of the "Cult" otherwise why call the season "Cult"? Even the protestors seemed to be under Kai's command as they vanished when he appeared among them. The neighbors also are part of it, but now that Meadow is dead\missing, the hubby is no longer on board. Or maybe he is as he is accusing Ally of the crime. All of this seems to be aimed at Ally and Ivy. Kai must have some grudge against them (aside form their sexuality).

Best ep of the season so far. Genuinely scary in places.

The twist will be Sarah Paulson's character will end up becoming a Trump supporter( seriously, this is Ryan Murphy we're talking about.) because with each episode she's losing her liberal status and becoming the target of the left. The members of the cult are fodder as the show's pretty heavy handed with who possible members are.

EDIT: Forgot to add that she'll also likely denounce her homosexuality because in Murphy's world Trump supporters, conservatives, can't be gay.

That maybe Kai's plan! Or one of them anyway. To take a person who is a text book definition of liberal and turn them into a conservative! Using her mental instability as a weapon against her was to weaken her. Then the protestors and the neighbors come along to portray liberals at their worst. So that may be Kai's game and the twist being Ally, if not Ivy, becoming the very thing they have always hated.

And just when is Evan gonna be nominated for an Emmy? I surely thought "Hotel" was his year as he completely embodied that character to the point I did not know it was him till I read it was him!
