American Horror Story Roanoke Episode 10 "Chapter 10" Review

Lee Harris, the lone survivor of Return to Roanoke: Three Days in Hell, agrees to an interview live on television, the Lana Winters Special.

This was a very interesting way to end this season that had plenty of surprises and fun to it. I knew going into this episode that some way some how Lee was not going to make it to the end, and I was right about that. I did really like that they brought Lana Winters back and they did a good job at bringing back some of the things from Asylum and kind of explaining in little bits what Lana has been up to since Asylum. Then the actual interview between Lee and Lana was really cool with how they interacted with each other and it was made even better by how they were interrupted. This episode was a little weird with how much it jumped around from story to story but it also made some sense because they needed to do that in order to wrap everything up nicely. The beginning moments with the court cases was a little weird and felt like it went on for a bit too long. I did feel bad for Flora because everyone seemed to push off her thoughts as just being a scared kid who went through some tough times. The ghost hunters going into the Roanoke house to investigate the hauntings was really fun and I laughed at the line that was like "people have been asking to investigate this house for years and been denied, so we didn't ask." And when Lee popped up I thought she had gone all butcher crazy again and kill them all, but that didn't happen. I do wish they would have shown a bit more of some of the ghosts in those final moments, but still what they did show was really fun. Then the standoff with the police at the house was interesting especially when you just focus on Flora's part in all of it. It is still a little weird to me with how dedicated Flora seems to be with Priscilla. And the final choice that Lee made for Flora was very interesting and kind of unexpected, but at least in that way, no one else will own the house. Then the actual ending was a little confusing because I saw the villagers and the butcher coming up to the house so did they kill all the police and cameramen standing outside the house watching it burn or were the ghost just watching the house too. Overall this was a really great season I would probably place it in the number three spot of the seasons so far, and I can't wait to see what they'll do for the next season.
