Like a tweet sent at 4 a.m. by the president, American Horror Story usually leaves us with far more questions than answers. Each week, we’re going to take a deeper look into every question the anthology gore-a-palooza needs to A.

With four episodes under its murderous circus clown belt, American Horror Story: Cult is finally taking shape, not only as the most masturbation-heavy installment of American Horror Story by a substantial margin, but something very closely resembling a coherent story coming together at last. This miracle of miracles was achieved through “11/9,” a flashback-ish origin story of an episode that was more enticingly cult-y than previous installments, but still fell flat in the horror department. In fairness, the image of Chaz Bono waving his severed arm in the air while screaming “welcome to Trump’s America, motherfuckers” is – rough estimate – 75-percent less surreal than what actually happened at the polling stations on November 9th, 2016.

Exactly How Much Is Ivy Keeping from Ally?

I have to assume that being shown hidden security footage of your wife canoodling with the nanny in a bathtub puts a strain on the relationship, especially if your wife is also having nightly psychotic breakdowns because of the roving band of masturbating murder clowns that keep breaking into the house, and especially especially if your wife just shot a dude in the face in the middle of your lovely suburban foyer. Love is hard, man. It’s almost like marriage is the real American Horror Stor—no, we’re not doing that.

But as “11/9” revealed, Ivy—the non-protest-voting, seemingly saner of the wives Mayfair-Richards—has some possibly sinister secrets of her own. For one, she met Winter at an anti-Trump rally weeks before hiring the young woman to babysit possible-Antichrist Oz. And by “met,” I mean the two women shared an intimate meal in Ivy’s own restaurant, and then tied up a handsy Trump supporter in the basement of a grocery store.

Now, it’s hard to say Ivy is completely—if at all— indoctrinated into Kai Anderson’s circus of stab-happy Ronald McDonalds. But meeting your mysterious and decidedly-unfit-to-watch-children babysitter weeks ago and not mentioning it? Troublesome. Also not mentioning the time you committed a felony in a ski mask while screaming “consider yourself silenced, bitch”? Downright worrisome.

Just Who Is Who Under Those Clown Masks?

Like I once said during a theme party gone horribly wrong, it’s time to accept that some of those people jerking off under clown masks are people that we know and recognize. For one, the four-faced, four-nosed clown—clearly the ringleader during deeds both foul and horrifying—is almost certainly Kai Anderson himself. (Even the height and build matches Evan Peters, if not the blue hair and tendency to open his eyes wider than should be humanly possible.)

But note the number of clowns that appear to murder newscaster Selina Belinda (played by Emma Roberts, back to do her trademark “hey I’m Emma Roberts but in a different color outfit” character work) live on camera; there’s three of them, at a time when Kai had seemingly only recruited Harrison and Meadow Wilton. Therefore, the petite female clown is most likely Meadow, and the Billy Eichner-sized clown in the red jacket is almost definitely Harrison.

With that said…

Who Is the Fifth Clown?

By the time the crew stepped out of the ice cream truck across from the Mayfair-Richards house, they had ballooned to five members. One—probably the woman all the way to the left, gloves covering her dark skin—is certainly rage-filled Youtube remix victim Beverly Hope.

But as for the fifth clown? Harder to say, but there is a ton of possibilities to choose from, because if American Horror Story: Cult has an overarching message it’s that we are all garbage and your neighbor probably murders people while wearing Pennywise makeup. At the top of the suspect list are Dr. Rudy Vincent—under suspicion due to having Cheyenne Jackson’s secretly-a-villain-ass face—and Detective Jack Samuels, mostly because he’s a 29-year-old with the hair of an elderly war veteran or an X-Men character who has ice powers. Neither option bodes well.

It can’t be Winter (which is totally the name of an X-Men character who has ice powers), because she was otherwise occupied making sure Oz watched as many dark web videos of people falling off stepladders as possible. But that doesn’t mean she never gets involved with the clown shenanigans. Look at the mask hanging on Winter’s bedroom wall:

What appears to simply be a Mardi Gras souvenir or above-average My Chemical Romance cosplay is actually a piece of a larger mask, glimpsed briefly in the Cult season preview:

Worth noting: The full mask sure looks like an elephant, symbol of the Republican party.

Did That Voting Montage Have Any Significance?

At first glance, the opening voting booth scene seemed only to drive home the fact that no matter who you voted for, you probably suck in your own, personal way. Such is the moral of American Horror Story: Cult, unless you were like, already a homicidal circus clown before 2016.

But let’s take a closer look. Gary K. Longstreet (vote: Donald Trump) is missing an arm, Selina Belinda (vote: Donald Trump) was brutally stabbed to death, Meadow Wilton (vote: Oprah) was replaced in the night with a pool of blood, Harrison Wilton (vote: Gary Johnson) is being blamed for her disappearance, and Ally (vote: Jill Stein) has been besieged by every phobia and manic hallucination in the book since the first episode.

Meanwhile, Ivy, Winter, Dr. Vincent, and Beverly Hope—all votes for Hillary Clinton—are pretty much fine. Bodily fine, at least.
