The 12th episode of "American Horror Story: Freak Show," is titled "Show Stoppers": The Freaks hold a feast to welcome Chester as the new owner of the freak show, but after Elsa asks him to leave her and the troupe alone, she reveals their true intentions. Maggie reveals to Stanley that she told them everything he had done, outing him as a con artist and a murderer. They also reveal the head of the Museum of Morbid Curiosities curator; Lillian Hemmings, whom Desiree and Maggie murdered in vengeance. Stanley pleads with them to let him live and claims Elsa isn’t to be trusted, that she was the one who murdered Ethel. The freaks ignore him, proceeding to chase Stanley around the camp with weapons, presumably murdering him under a wagon.
Dandy visits the twins and warms them of Chester’s dark past, but they demand him to leave after claiming they don’t trust him. Elsa introduces Jimmy to an old friend of hers, Massimo Dolcefino, who intends on making him a pair of prosthetics just as he did with Elsa. In a flashback, Massimo tells of how he went after and slaughtered the men who took Elsa’s legs. All except the leader that is, Dr. Hans Gruper, who shot Massimo and tortured him until he was later released by a General.
