"American Horror Story" Season 4 returns tonight, with an episode titled "Blood Bath." This episode 8 of "Freak Show" will see Regina (Gabourey Sidibe) arriving at Dandy and Gloria's house, asking "where is my mother." The preview of the episode indicates that to protect her son, Gloria can do anything, including shoot Regina.

In one of the previous episodes, Dandy killed Regina's mother Dora. As previously reported, Finn Wittrock, who plays Dandy, has said to Yahoo TV that in episode 8, his character gets to do some really "cool stuff" with his mother Gloria. He also said that the episode will see Sidibe's character entering Motts' world and there is a "big, big twist" that involves Dandy. The preview provides a glimpse of Dandy, telling his mother about striking a bargain. All these suggest that Regina digging deeper to find her missing mother means only one thing, her life is in danger. And according to the episode synopsis, Gloria will be making a "last ditch effort to contain Dandy's bloodlust."

The last episode saw Ma Petite ending up in a jar and being exhibited at the Museum of Morbid Curiosities. Stanley found out about Dell's visits to the gay bar and he threatened to out him if he does not snuff the life out of a freak. After bonding time with his son Jimmy, who he could not kill, Dell attacked the weakest member of the freak show.

The preview of the episode indicates that it is fame-hungry Elsa Mars who will have to answer questions about Ma Petite's disappearance. The one who will be questioning her the most is going to be her henchwoman Ethel. She can be seen telling Elsa in the preview, "You'll destroy anybody who gets in your way." The last episode saw Ethel hearing a part of Stanley and Elsa's conversation. The two were talking about how to make the twin sisters, Dot and Bette, disappear. Also, "Blood Bath" will see Penny returning home, with revenge on her mind. The preview indicates that she is in a mood to kill her father.

Meanwhile, the photos of the new episode of "American Horror Story-Freak Show" reveal that a new freak is joining Elsa's troupe. Chrissy Metz is playing the role of this character called Ima. The promotional photos suggest that she is Elsa's new trump card. It looks like she is the fat freak [Check the photo here].

The title of the episode 8, "Blood Bath," suggests that this Ryan Murphy, co-creator of "American Horror Story," written episode will see someone going on a killing spree.
