"Freak Show," the Season 4 of "American Horror Story," has taken a week's break after killing a much loved character in episode 7. It is a brief Thanksgiving interlude. FX's horror anthology series returns next week to kill some more characters. The episode 8 title, "Blood Bath," suggests that the new episode of "Freak Show" will once again feature the gory dance with death. It seems likely that more characters are going to turn into corpses. Finn Wittrock, who plays Dandy, has hinted that there is going to be a big twist in the upcoming episode and it will feature his character.

The brief synopsis of episode 9, which is titled "The Fat Lady Sings," hints that someone important to Jimmy is going to die in "Blood Bath." The synopsis of episode 9 says, "In the wake of a tragic loss, Jimmy sinks into a drunken despair."

Strongman Dell snapped Ma Petite's neck in episode 7, "Test of Strength," of "American Horror Story" Season 4. At the end of the episode, the smallest woman in the world appeared in a jar. She was the latest exhibit at the museum of morbid curiosities. In episode 8, Ethel, who heard a part of Stanley and Elsa's conversation in episode 7 -- the two evil minds were talking about making the twins disappear -- will suspect that Elsa may have something to do with the recent disappearances around the camp, including that of Ma Petite.

Dandy killed no one in "Test of Strength." However, with Dot and Bette gone from his house, he is set to get back to his purpose in life -- to kill people. Dandy's mother Gloria will be making a "last ditch effort to contain Dandy's bloodlust," according to the synopsis of "Blood Bath." The episode will also see Regina Ross, daughter of dead Dora, making an appearance again. She is likely to arrive in Jupiter, looking for her mother who has not answered her calls for weeks.

Wittrock has told Yahoo TV that in episode 8, "there's some really cool stuff I get to do with mom, with Frances (who plays Dora). It is also where Gabourey Sidibe (who plays Regina) enters our world. There's a big, big twist in that one that I get to be a part of."

Ryan Murphy, co-creator of the show, has written "Blood Bath," which is scheduled to air on Dec. 3, 2014.
