The episode began where Episode 2 left off, with the campers trapped in two separate buildings and Mr. Jingles (John Carroll Lynch) and The Night Stalker (Zach Villa) trying to get into each respective cabin. The group hiding from the Stalker escaped, though “Slashdance” reveals that the other group were not being terrorized by Jingles but rather a group of teens celebrating “Jingles Day,” a local custom that sees teenagers dress up as the raincoat-wearing serial killer and knock on doors.

Those teens, however, stumble across the real Mr. Jingles, who makes swift work of them. The group who escaped the Stalker, meanwhile, stumbled straight into a pit of spikes, with Ray falling in and Chet (Gus Kenworthy) getting impaled.

The existence of this pit, which Ron and Chet think Jingles learned how to dig from the Viet Cong, will be music to the ears of Nurse Rita—or, as her real name is revealed to be in Episode 3, Donna Chambers.

She is not actually a camp nurse but a criminal psychiatrist, on a Mindhunter-like quest to get into the brains of serial killers. However, she is prepared to go a little further than the Netflix show’s Holden Ford would. In a flashback, it is revealed that she is the one who let Jingles out of prison so as to study him in his ’natural habitat’. Or so she says. When asked why she wanted to let him out, she says “I have my reasons” ⁠— reasons that are sure to be announced later in American Horror Story: 1984.

After being let out of prison, Jingles’ first victim is the real Nurse Rita (Dreama Walker), who ends up falling victim to the broken end of an oar.

Back in the pit, Ray revealed he left LA due to being in trouble—and in another series of flashbacks we discovered exactly why. In his junior year, a hazing ritual left everyone thinking a student was dead, leading to Ray trying to dispose of a body by putting it in a car and pushing it over a cliff. However, the student wasn’t dead after all—or at least he wasn’t until Ray fails to stop the car and it ends up over the cliff anyway. Back in Camp Redwood, Ray not only leaves Chet for dead but also leaves Montana when he gets a chance to get away from The Night Stalker on a motorcycle. To paraphrase the song, Ray is once, twice, three times a scumbag, but this being American Horror Story the writers had a gruesome end planned for him as he finds himself decapitated by a waiting Jingles.

Montana looks certain to perish as The Night Stalker approaches. However, he starts kissing her rather than killing her, and it seems the pair of them are working together. “Why haven’t you killed her yet?” she asks, and we are sure to find out soon exactly who she has a vendetta against.

AHS: 1984 Episode 3 seems to be setting up the next few episodes, as two intertwined revenge plots start to play out. One sees Montana out for blood, while the other revolves around Nurse Rita and whoever she wants killed by Mr. Jingles.

“Slashdance” does not tell us any more about what’s going on with the hitchhiker who cannot die and may be a ghost or Margaret Booth’s (Leslie Grossman) true intentions in re-opening the camp. The Episode 4 trailer, released after Episode 3 aired, suggests we will not be getting those answers anytime soon, but we will see a Freddie vs. Jason-style showdown between Jingles and the Stalker, as well as the aerobics-related backstory of Montana and the Stalker’s pact.

Does this mean that Montana wants rival aerobics stars Xavier (Cody Fern) or Trevor (Matthew Morrison) out of the picture? We are likely to find out when AHS returns.

American Horror Story: 1984 airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT on FX.
