American Horror Story - Small Screen Review
Episode Eight- "Rubber Man"
Tate is revealed to be the Rubber Man, attempting to provide the distraught Nora with a baby. The outfit is revealed to be a fetish suit Chad bought in hopes of re-igniting his and Patrick's failing relationship. Tate donned the suit and killed Patrick and Chad after they decided not to have a baby, hoping that a new family will move in and have a child, which Nora could then have. In the present, Hayden conspires with Nora to drive Vivien insane so that they can have her twins after she is committed. After many poltergeists, Vivien becomes unnerved and Moira, who opposes Hayden, tells her about “The Yellow Wallpaper” and that the house is haunted, urging her to leave while she still can. Vivien and Violet leave, but are confronted by the ghostly house intruders from Episode 2 outside, fleeing back into the house. Ben believes that Vivien is mentally unstable, since the police found no evidence of the intruders’ presence, and prohibits her from leaving under threat of legal action, believing she is trying to take Violet and the twins away from him.
Moira says "men are always trying to think of ways to drive women crazy." Though she also saw the ghosts, Violet, afraid to leave Tate if she leaves the house, lies and says she didn’t see anything, claiming Vivien was just upset. Betrayed, Vivien later steals Marcy’s handgun for protection. Hayden convinces Tate, as the Rubber Man, to attack Vivien, revealing that Tate fathered Vivien’s twins. During the attack, Vivien accidentally shoots Ben, who heard the commotion. He medicates her until the police arrive, convinced she is a danger to herself and others. Luke arrives, having received the panic alert, and he and Ben argue. However, Vivien’s reaction to another poltergeist results in the police taking her away to be committed. Vivien is heartbroken, but consoled that she can finally leave the house. Violet is shaken by what happened because she lied, though Tate tells her that he’ll always be there for her. The episode ends with the full scene of Chad and Patrick's murder; it is revealed that after Tate killed them, Moira gave Tate the couple's gun, which Tate used to make the scene look like a murder/suicide.
