Summary
The conclusion ofAmerican Horror Story : Delicatewas incredibly short and this created a major problem for the show ’s complex patch . Everyseason ofAmerican Horror Storygets more convoluted as it continues , with seemingly square stories about haunted firm or creepy cults turn into sprawling , surreal odysseys fill with offbeat characters and odd subplots . However , since season 12 is base on an exist novel , it seemed as though the show would need to contain its zaniness . For the most part , American Horror Story : DelicatePart Twomanaged to tell a open , cohesive story until its close .
“ The Auteur , ” picked up immediately after the terminate ofAmerican Horror Storyseason 12 instalment 8 , with Anna getting an ambulance to the hospital . However , affair immediately get down silly as the nefarious Ivy was revealed to be the ambulance ’s number one wood and Anna ’s husband , Dex , lost his hand to her demonic baby before it was even fully bear . before long after , Ivy choked Dex to death with his severed hand and Anna was paralyzed while Kim Kardashian ’s Siobhan explain her nefarious cult that engineered the season ’s event . This might have knead if it were n’t for the sequence ’s inexplicably unretentive runtime .
American Horror Story: Delicate’s Finale Was Only 31 Minutes Long
American Horror Story’s Season 12 Finale Was Bizarrely Short and Rushed
American Horror Storyseason 12 , installment 9 was only 31 minutes long , which is specially notable when some of the show ’s early picnic have hightail it over an hour . AlthoughAmerican Horror Storyseason 12 episode 7already unmasked a few member of Siobhan ’s cult , the series did n’t explicate the main baddie ’s modus operandi or her delegacy until the coda . This made the last episode experience incredibly rushed as Anna went from giving nativity to unable to help listen to Siobhan to join her cult to defeating and killing her , all in twenty mo of screen time . intact subplots were reduced to afterthoughts .
Ms. Preecher ’s offscreen death was particularly inexplicable since it led viewers to wonder why Siobhan waited so long to bolt down Anna ’s sneak if she was so all - powerful . likewise , the fate of the cult ’s other members was a over mystery after Anna and Adeline ’s chanting successfully caused Siobhan to spontaneously decompose . Talia , Sonia , Nicolette , Ashley , Ashleigh , and Susan all seemingly disappear into thin aviation before the episode ended , an underwhelming fate that madeAmerican Horror Storyseason 12 ’s villain Siobhanseem much infirm in retrospect . These avertible issues could all have been solve with a long runtime .
How The Episode’s Runtime Hurt The American Horror Story Season 12 Ending
Countless Subplots Were Crammed Into A Hurried Overstuffed Finale
“ The Auteur ” was always bound to be a messy finale sinceDelicatehad so many disparate subplots , but the show did itself no favor with the instalment ’s abbreviated runtime .

Similarly , Anna ’s conflict attitude toward her seemingly normal baby in the episode ’s ending would have been more effective if viewers knew exactly what conk out down between her , Siobhan , and Adeline . or else , American Horror Story : Delicateleft watcher with a hasty close to an unwieldy story .
