Despite being at the epicenter of an <em>American Horror Story<\/em>, the people of Jupiter are still feeling the essence of coupling-up season \u2013 and acting upon it.<\/p>\n<p>As the weather gets drearier and the holidays fast approach, everyone is itching to find that \u201cspecial\u201d someone to cuddle up with and secure as his or her plus one.<\/p>\n<p>Dandy Mott wants to marry Bette and Dot Tattler. Jimmy Darling and Maggie Esmeralda want to run away together. Nurse Penny the Candy Striper is gaga over Paul the Illustrated Seal, as is Elsa Mars. But Elsa is a selfish lover, more committed to stardom, and feigns attention from all of the above.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about his new love interest(s), Dandy can\u2019t help but rave. \u201cI would never violate those girls,\u201d he says over a meal. \u201cI love them. I didn\u2019t think I could feel love until I met them. My heart was lost. And it took a woman with the vision of four eyes to find it, and the love of two hearts to give it back to me.\u201d But is this love mutual?<\/p>\n<p>It is for Bette. \u201cHappiness is too small a word to describe how I feel,\u201d the usually chipper daydreamer says. Dot, as predicted, is not as enthralled by the situation. \u201cWe haven\u2019t been beaten, nor are we bore by chains. I have to wonder, though, what dark intentions await,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Candy Striper may be too late for her happy ending. \u201cI\u2019m in love, and I\u2019m going to see him right now,\u201d she proclaims to her overbearing father when he catches her sneaking out of the house at 2 a.m. \u201cI\u2019m gonna have a life that means something,\u201d she continues.<\/p>\n<p>Upon arriving at the campgrounds, she sees Paul is dying from a stab wound. It was a freak accident sparked by Elsa\u2019s need to be loved and worshiped. She demanded a volunteer for the death-defying spinning wheel act, and Paul stepped up to the plate.<\/p>\n<p>As for Maggie and Jimmy, leaving Jupiter is their only chance for survival. Stanley wants Maggie to lure Jimmy to the barn, so he could profit off Jimmy\u2019s lobster-like hands. But Maggie is reluctant. She won\u2019t harm the freaks. \u201cI don\u2019t care where we go, so long as it\u2019s with you,\u201d she tells Jimmy, after suggesting they run off to Miami or the Keys.<\/p>\n<p>But we\u2019re unsure where this love story is headed. Stanley is threatening Maggie pending her delivery of Lobster Boy, while Jimmy is off looking for the twins. He was last seen entering the Mott estate, where Dandy had just proclaimed how\u00a0his life\u2019s purpose is to bring death.<\/p>\n<p>Dandy&#8217;s\u00a0heartbreak comes after learning Dot\u2019s true feelings towards him. Nothing is left he says, \u201cbut the dust and scorpions inside of me.\u201d This is terrific news for the <em>American Horror Story<\/em> unraveling in Jupiter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(American Horror Story: Freak Show\u00a0pseudo\u00a0article from Jupiter, Florida) Tis the season of love, or forced love, as some put it.
