I too thought she was going to say that Dell pimped her out.

VERY!!! disappointed in the missed opportunity on last night's AHS to include a nod to Katherine Dunn's 1989 literary nightmare Geek Love. When Mordrake persuaded Ethel to delve deeper into her pain, I thought for sure she was going to admit that she and Dell had chemically tinkered with her pregnancy to ensure that

One day I overheard a girl yelling at a boy on the (pay)phone with the same name as my boyfriend. Being a one stoplight town, I was curious and asked her his last name. Turns out, she was yelling at her/my boyfriend. We hitchhiked to his house (with a super creepy dude) and upon knocking on the door, discovered he was
