When Elsa hired the fat lady (whose name I have forgotten) it was established that she came from a rich family. I feel like that ought to end up being significant somehow…

Elsa wants them dead. She doesn't believe they can be successfully separated. But if it IS possible, she figures one will die, and they won't be a problem for her any more.

Steve Larson, can you get me a puppy?

Jimmy IS a murderer.

I thought that they were pointing up Del's essential stupidity (start with Eve? Really? She'd be pretty hard to subdue and VERY expensive to ship! Although I think the skeletons of some really tall people have been exhibited, so there's that possibility) and then try Jimmy (who even drunk is young and strong and…

Since she's female, Ma Petite would be correct in French.

Now that I think of it, Elsa's bitch-fit mirrored Dandy's. Hmmm…

I agree. This happened, remember, RIGHT AFTER she told Mat Fraser that maybe he could come with her to her new life, but of course once she had a "normal" beau he would be relegated to chauffeur. After all her protestations that these people are family to her, she treats them much the same as those outside the freak…

I thought it was just that he MAY die.

My boyfriend suggested that Marianne Faithfull would make an awesome addition to this show.

When he rescued her from Twisty.

That doesn't sound like empathy to me. The exact opposite, in fact. Dandy wants to be the Mr. America of serial killers. Dude not actually DYING reflects poorly on his skills, and THAT's why he feels bad.

Or, not. Just him fantasizing.

Well, sure, one might have been a flash-forward, but there is no evidence that anybody died in this episode.

What xeranar said. He just felt bad because this kill wasn't as clean as the first kill.

Exactly. People all up and down this comment thread keep saying it's ambiguous, but it seemed absolutely clear to me that no cupcake was eaten, and any dead freaks only existed in Stanley's fantasies.

I don't think Dandy is gay. Not sure he's anything besides a classic sociopath. Which does not mean he might not have had some opportunistic gay experiences.

Ooh. I hope Dandy and Bette/Dot have a liaison, and Bette/Dot get pregnant! One way to stop the inbreeding!

Dandy clearly feels no guilt. He killed Dora because she dared him to, basically. He chose a gay man to kill because a gay hustler is less likely to be missed (classic serial killer logic).
