All right, then. That felt like a conclusion of two parts and was an intriguing one. I think the first part of the show, which opened, was really rather wonderful and included some of the best moments this season had given us. There was intensity. Dema Roberts gave a tremendous performance, given the huge stakes.
The 30-minute running time returned to save the episode, though, as I believe it simply began to lose its way in the second half. It could have used a little more time to elucidate on the plot and give it some more flow. Anyway, let’s get right into this episode and dissect everything that was to be learned from it, as it ended quite vaguely and had discoveries all along.
This is American Horror Story Delicate’s Episode 9 Ending Explained. So just warning you, there will be spoilers in this. Ending So I’ll simply talk about the last five minutes or so in this part before delving into the group’s motivation and the reasons behind their actions. This ending, nevertheless, calls for a lengthy debate.
The ghost of Adeline materialised at the very end of the episode, and as she spun Anna around in her wheelchair, she was speaking and praising Hestia—the same deity she had been worshipping the night before she was killed. Only light can wipe out the dark, Adeline stated, with Anna repeating the statement aloud.
Siobhan then basically started to age and disintegrate after that, and eventually the other Raven Heads and Satan Worshippers vanished too. With Siobhan appearing to have existed for a very long time—as early as 42 AD—I find this to be very problematic. Why had no one ever heard of her?
Never done that before, and whether she was sent back to hell or killed permanently, it’s a weakness that undoubtedly diminished the power that was implied and developed throughout the episode, as it didn’t really take all that much to wipe her out.
It also eludes me why Siobhan had no defence at all. I get the tired cliché of light triumphing over darkness, but still. To be really honest, I had a little issue with her standing there and not being able to move. After that, Anna was seen to have recovered her walking abilities and entered the room containing her infant, as though the demon she had given birth to and was cradling had vanished.
She had the Oscar on the shelf and her baby was a human when she picked him up. This nearly seemed to represent her obtaining what she had ever wanted. Her Oscar and her child arrived together. She could be a mother, but she could also demonstrate that she achieved tremendous success in her work.
Reversing the Ravenheads’ earlier statements that women should stay at home and take care of their children while males go out and succeed. Anna had a menacing, terrified look in her eyes as the camera retreated. Seemed as though she had just emerged from a nightmare.
Which she owned. However, it seemed to be implying that Anna might take over as the new head of this coven, which now just included her. This was because she had on the green shoes and the wings on her head, which followed her embracing and joining them. Though I honestly don’t think it’s a realistic conclusion, it seemed like the show was attempting to get us to think that.
The first time we saw a spider was in the very first episode, when it was on Anna’s head after she encountered Dr. Hill for the first time and struck up a discussion. The spider emerged from the crib and Anna squashed it. Reproductive process. The killing of the spider so almost represented and signalling the end of the relationship between the demon and the infant as normal and not the purest demon possible.
In other words, the finale was undoubtedly strange and, although being somewhat straightforward, included intricacies that were not really necessary. Consequently, it is unfortunate. For all the work the show had done to establish the mystery and power of these raven heads, the episode’s conclusion and Siobhan’s murder essentially undid it.
Just who was Siobhan? Siobhan was essentially just Siobhan Corbin and she set her own rules; that much was known about her. Declaring that she was the auteur, she ruled the globe. An auteur is a film filmmaker that so greatly shapes their work that they are considered the author.
Its French origins mean that when translated into English, it literally means author. Siobhan therefore probably saw the world as her own kind of film and wanted to control how it would develop. Thus the mission that each Raven Head was on. Making deals with women who desired everything in the world and using them to carry babies for them and then recruit them was the way to eradicate toxic masculinity.
They basically sought to establish a new sisterhood hierarchy and build a world according to Siobhan’s vision. I wasn’t too shocked to learn that Siobhan was Dex’s mother, as several of us had suspected a few episodes prior. What could Virginia say, really, when Dex’s father revealed how he raised Dex?
The purpose of saying this was to connect into the show’s central theme, which was how males, in society, saw women as less than men. Because of the IVF treatment Anna underwent, her child was also three quarters Siobhan’s, hence Anna was hanging onto the baby for Siobhan, which is why it was in a demonic form.
About the odd things that were also happening to Anna, Siobhan and the other Raven Heads were in charge of this. They had placed the dolls she kept finding with the broken pieces and deformities there, and they were almost behaving like voodoo dolls or as clues about what would happen to her.
To be sure Anna was the proper person to bear the demon she would eventually give birth to, Siobhan also had her eye on her for a long time. In 2019 Siobhan met Anna for the first time during a gathering for women who were having trouble becoming pregnant.
First portion of the plan came into effect on the day she was scheduled to audition for her part in the auteur. I can somewhat understand why the show didn’t go into great detail on Siobhan’s demonic identity.
Clearance is always welcome, though, especially when each season is essentially a one-time event. Overview of the episode by me As I indicated at the outset, I saw this episode as a two-part finale. I did, in fact, really like the first half. It felt like an old American horror tale, the moments in the ambulance, the symbolism of hanging onto the Oscar the entire time, the terror, the anxiety, the audacious decision to kill Kamal and Dex the way they were.
It was graphic, violent, and like an uncontrollably bad dream. Emma Roberts performed admirably in this opening segment, in my opinion as well. Actually the whole episode. The instant Cara Delevingne began speaking, it turned stale, indicating that she was one of the more experienced performers in this ensemble.
And it seemed like a performance that was being heightened on purpose. The entire sequence in which Siobhan meets Dr. Hill and assures him of success in the field of reproductive clinics provided he follows her instructions felt a little forced in. About a minute long, it seemed to be done merely to address the topic of how he got engaged, which seemed a little strange.
Though it exposed Cara Delevingne’s terrible acting once more, I was shocked when Ivy was slain. It was really difficult to avoid Cara Delevingne because she was in it so much, but I really felt that she was the worst performer of the evening.
To be honest, it all seemed a little ridiculous—Siobhan giving Ivy the assignment to kill her son and calling it a test. We never really grasped what these folks were like, so it didn’t feel credible and I didn’t buy into it. The fact that they chose to kill Ivy at that precise moment felt like a plot device.
For me, this episode veered a little off in the latter half. The brief thirty-minute running length without commercials simply meant that everything that had been established in the first half had to be hurried through in the second since they didn’t have much time left to offer closure and clarity, and they failed to do so.
Undoubtedly, this season of the programme has its highs and lows, but when compared to earlier seasons, I believe this one does sit very low. I hope the next season of American Horror Story strives to get back to its roots a bit more, aims to get a strong cast engaged, and has a gripping, intriguing, dark story that we’re all invested in. Murphy revealed that the show was commissioned to run until season 13.
I hope for at least that. There you have it, then. Delicate American Horror Story Episode 9 Ending Described.
