American Horror Story/Timeline

All seasons of American Horror Story are interconnected and share the same timeline. After the use of Tempus Infinituum, a time travel spell in Apocalypse, a new revised timeline was created. As a result, events changed by Tempus Infinituum are categorized under Alternate Timeline.

Each entry should be referenced to episode(s) and season(s).

NOTE: Remember that this is a timeline, not a scene-by-scene recap of events that occurred in all the various seasons. While this is a general timeline aiming to highlight how the seasons intersect each other across time, consider updating and expanding on the individual timelines listed below when it comes to events pertaining solely to that season.

Two women garbed in black materialize and tell the queen it is time to part with the baby and that he has waited six thousand years to be born. Elizabeth is incredulous that Mary would promise her child to these witches in exchange for a fruitful kingdom, and when she protests their assertion that Elizabeth will herself (during her reign) they curse her with a barren womb.

    • Still without food and medicine, the colonists demand that Thomasin move them all inland for the coming winter, but Thomasin refuses, not wishing to renege on the wishes of her husband. A colonist by the name of Mr. Cage leads a rebellion against Thomasin - amongst them Thomasin's own son, Ambrose - and together they banish her from the colony in a scold's bridle, leaving her in the forest to starve to death.
    • While in the forest, Thomasin is saved by the witch Scáthach, who spares the mortal from being devoured by a wild boar, in exchange for her soul. After complying with the witch's bid, Thomasin returns to the colony with a vengeance, brutally murdering Mr. Cage and the other insurgents, though she decides to spare Ambrose out of obligation to him as his mother. Shortly afterward, she agrees to move the colony a hundred miles inland.
    • Under Scáthach's orders, Thomasin begins to practice the witch's dark religion, venerating the Old Gods by partaking in rituals involving the sacrifices of animals and humans, including children. As a result, Thomasin becomes known as "The Butcher".

1757

• Autumn Season:
  • A woman (Rachel Browne) lays dying in bed, as the doctor tells her husband (Thomas) and son (Edward) that nothing can be done for the pain. Her friends and two daughters are also dead, with the richer victims buried in the cemeteries.
  • Pastor Walter visits the "House of Lazarus", paying Celeste for her sexual services. He notices a lesion on her shoulder, and she reveals it to be the same smallpox that has killed so many. She says she is not contagious, and that her wounds have the power to heal; those who lick her pustules become immune. She convinces him to taste her pus, and he wretches. He accuses her of being an occultist, and she counters that the new minister shouldn't come to her for sex. He leaves, disgusted, as she looks to her statue of St Lazarus for support.
  • Celeste barges into Rachel's funeral to warn the congregation against Walter. They turn on her, and the mob chases her out of the church. She stumbles and breaks her arm on the hillside. Thomas tells the crowd to leave her alone, as he does not want to further disrupt his wife's funeral with a lynch mob. Later, Walter is affronted at the challenge to his authority. To appease him and challenge the plague that is destroying them, Thomas tells the minister of a ritual he heard about. In a nearby town, he says, the diseased corpses had barely decomposed and the townspeople removed and burnt the hearts of the fallen. The two conspire to see if doing so will help their own town, and cut out Rachel's heart. Walter asks if burning the hearts will heal those living with the infection, and Thomas suggests that it won't but that eating it might. Over Thomas' objections, Walter bites into Rachel's heart.
  • Thomas is disgusted, but serves it in a stew to Edward. Milkmaid Delilah arrives during dinner to deliver milk, giving Edward an opportunity to sneak the stew to their cat. Delilah has drawn Walter's condemnation for being unmarried and living with animals, spreading the word that she is a witch to the congregation. After she has left, Thomas bids Edward to eat more stew.
  • Delilah finds Celeste in her barn taking refuge, where Delilah has lived since her house collapsed. Delilah sets Celeste's arm and binds it, while offering her guest a book. It becomes clear that Delilah is not a religious believer, and that Walter will not pursue Celeste to her farm.
  • At Rachel's graveside, Thomas consoles his son and they discuss grief. Walter approaches and inquires why they have not returned to church since the funeral. The pastor offhandedly comments about their "special communion" and Thomas sends his son home before the truth is spoken. Thomas regrets the horrific act, even if it has brought them robust health. Walter presents the widower with the heart of another parishioner, and chews it in front of him. Walter declares that all should know the source of their salvation.
  • Celeste reads as she milks, her pustules now covering large patches of her skin. Delilah realizes Celeste's infection and wants to isolate her guest, but Celeste says that she is not sick. Her infection began when she was herself a milkmaid, and she became pregnant. The father was disgusted by her pox and pregnant size and took their child from her after birth. She turned to prostitution and men began to fetishize her boils, becoming immune to contagion as they "feasted" on what fluids her body produced. Delilah wants to reproduce the science that is causing the immunity, but Celeste insists it is a divine miracle — not science. Celeste is frustrated at Delilah's lack of faith, and is unnerved at Delilah's growing romantic attraction to her. Edward covertly discovers the two passionately embracing as Delilah takes on Celeste's healing elixir.
  • Walter includes the call to cannibalism in his sermon, and the congregation eagerly moves to exhume the recent dead. Under cover of night, they spread out to gather hearts.
  • The two lovers muse on why some get sick and others don't. Delilah finds blood in her cow's milk, which Celeste is unconcerned about. Delilah explains that scientists have found microorganisms spreading contagions like cowpox (which Delilah had when she was young), but it sparks the idea that there is a link between between surviving cowpox and immunity to smallpox. She hurries away to bring the medicinal milk to Thomas and Edward, leaving a pensive Celeste to milk as much from her cow as possible and to question whether she was ever a true healer.
  • Edward fills in Delilah on what the townspeople are doing, and Delilah is horrified by the insane notion. He rebuffs the thought of getting sick, saying that he is strong and that those who are weak deserve to die (per Walter's "natural order"). She forces him to drink, then runs to the cemetery to try and spread her cure to the diggers. Thomas intercepts her, saying that she shouldn't be there. He insists that the lack of decomposition is a sign that evil is afoot. She explains that the shallow groundwater means that salty soil preserves corpses so that they don't decompose quickly. Walter intervenes, saying that the milkmaid cannot be trusted. She tells him that she has brought the cure for everyone, but lets slip that Celeste is at her farm preparing more. He scoffs at the prostitute's involvement, and Delilah urges that the men who have survived have done so because of exposure to Celeste. He counters that they are instead saved by righteousness, and answers her call to "stop the madness" by hitting Delilah with a rock. The townspeople rip coffins out of the hallowed ground, eating the hearts fresh out of the afflicted corpses.
  • Thomas tries to hold off Walter from attacking Celeste, confessing that the woman is Edward's true mother. The father will not yield, and the holy man stabs him in the chest. He menaces Celeste, disregarding her pleas that all she was trying to do was help the community. He responds that there is no altruism, only hunger for power. He assaults her against a barn post, intent on one more tryst before kills her. A newly awake Delilah fatally stabs him in the back. Now safe from their tormentor, the two women embrace. Thomas, still alive, sees his two lovers with disgust. He questions whether the two "wicked" women have corrupted each other, and he blames them for destroying the town with their perversions. He even blames Edward's lack of social affect on Celeste's inherited corruption. Succumbing to his own wounds, he slashes and kills Delilah. Despondent, Celeste walks away with Delilah's cow and burns the barn behind her. She enters Thomas' house to console her biological son, but he doesn't recognize her. She explains that his father is dead, and that she is going to make sure he doesn't get sick. She asks him to trust her, and they embrace. He asks her if she is a milkmaid, and she responds that she is. He says that "nothing is so unclean as a woman that lives with beasts", as he stabs her and eats her heart.

  • February 20th
    • The next day, President Dwight Eisenhower plays golf in Palm Springs, when his advisor comes to him with troubling news of an airspace incursion near Edwards Air Force Base. He tries to cover his visit to the base as a dental emergency, but his wife Mamie Eisenhower sees through his story. The Army escorts him to the crash site: an extraterrestrial saucer leaking radiation. An alien body is found among the wreckage, which Eisenhower believes is a child. Not far away, a woman covered in geometric-patterned scars on her back crouches naked near a scrub tree. The President rushes to her, draping her with his suitcoat, and she gives him her name: Amelia Earhart. At the military base, she relays the tale of her famous flight over Howland Island and went missing, stating the instrumentations of her plane went berserk and that she was surrounded by a bright white light. She states that is her last memory before arriving near the crashed alien space craft where she was found, but ascertains that the scars on her back were from experiments. When Dwight presses on who did this to her, she falters and asks where she is. When he begins to tell her, she becomes frantic with disbelief and needs to be sedated.
    • While they await confirmation of her identity from the FBI, the President's advisor reminds Eisenhower that Earhart went missing in 1937. Though she has not aged a day, her image is identical to the photo Mamie kept of Earhart in her office. The doctor also discloses that examinations show Earhart is two months pregnant.
    • Eisenhower watches as the extraterrestrial corpse is autopsied, and the scientists find that the body is hollow, like a shell. A membranous mass leaps from the husk and latches onto one of the examiners' faces. The other examiner tries to rip it off, only for the organism to latch to his face as well, causing both both mens' heads to explode. In a panic, the President is escorted away from the observation area to a safe location but is stopped by Maria Wycoff, still possessed by extraterrestrial influence and thus referred to as Subject 1 by high-ranking officials in the United States government. Eisenhower tries to negotiate with her; instead, she tells him that it is he who will listen.
    • Sometime following these events, Eisenhower is indecisive on whether to take a mysterious deal provided by the aliens. His advisors counsel him that the aliens could make a deal with Russia instead if he does not comply with their requests. Subject 1, still inhabiting Maria, enters the meeting with gifts of stealth and fiber-optic technologies. Subject 1 insists that the alien homeworld is dying and they are desperate to find solutions. She explains that the aliens will need to impregnate humans to ensure their species' survival, thereby creating alien-hybrids hybrids that can thrive in Earth's toxic and pathogenic environment. Unable to further sustain control of Maria's body, Subject 1 exits the meeting by exploding her head. Meanwhile, the first newborn hybrid kills several medical staff after delivery and Eisenhower shoots it in the head before it can escape containment. This fills him further with doubt, and unbeknownst to him, Subject 1 takes control over the body of Mamie to play on his patriotism.
    • Later, Mamie shows Nixon sensitive files from Eisenhower's desk, coercing him to talk her husband into agreeing to the terms. Eisenhower notices that the handkerchief Nixon is using came from Mamie's monogrammed collection. When Eisenhower confronts Mamie, she reveals her true identity as Subject 1 and threatens him to comply with the alien-human agreement, reminding him of Maria's fate. Eisenhower is having difficulty with the treaty, unable to cope with the thought of trading the torture of Americans for advanced technology. Subject 1, still inhabiting Mamie, continues to threaten consequences for the First Lady. Eisenhower agrees to everything and Subject 1 releases Mamie from its control.

  • 298 more incursions have been observed with no communication from the aliens, until a humanoid figure materializes on the North Lawn of the White House in a beam of light. The new visitor - an android who introduces himself as "Valiant Thor" - dispatches guards and agents with ease on his way into the Oval Office. He is a liaison of the extraterrestrials who created him, tasked with ensuring their alien-human hybrid agenda moves forward smoothly. He presents officials with a handheld computer, which strongly resembles an original iPod with a touchscreen.
  • Eisenhower tracks screams trough the White House ventilation system to find a concealed door in the service tunnels. A panel on the door recognizes his handprint and the door opens to an elevator taking him 20 stories down. Valiant Thor says that the President's visit was not expected for several weeks. The android claims the tunnels in which experiments are being conducted were built years before, in preparation for nuclear fallout, but the President was unaware of them. Several specimens of hybrid, in various ratio of human / extraterrestrial aspects, are stored in the lab. Valiant Thor explains that the extraterrestrials are convinced Eisenhower (and humanity, by extension) would cancel the treaty if humans saw their true forms. Valiant Thor intimates that the extraterrestrials will take what they want by force rather than deal with the Russians.
  • Mamie is undeterred when her husband brings concerns to her.

  • Hearing an unfamiliar noise in the residence, Eisenhower finds Mamie astride Val, sexually engaged. The sight causes him to faint, clutching his chest. When he awakes, she is unapologetic, calling Thor both a machine and a visiting dignitary. She considers it revenge for an affair he had during the war. Dejected, the President walks away, questioning if he even knows his wife anymore.

• The Van Wirt Toy Company is in full swing in Natchez, Mississippi. Miss Coby Dellum applies lipstick in her car, preparing for a job interview within. Inside, plastic is molded and sculpted into dolls and packaged under the watchful eye of Mr. Samuel Van Wirt. He considers dolls without sin, and she questions the wisdom of whether God would prefer humans as dolls. He considers her "not right" for the position, regardless of her overqualifications. Van Wirt's assistant, Eustace grabs and gags her from behind and drags her away.
• She awakes in his "private dollhouse", an eclectic design he designed full of seeming mannequins. He says she is to be in a pageant for the next seven days. She tries to politely decline, but her participation is not open to debate. Her path is blocked by his mute (tongueless) assistant, and he leaves her locked in to get settled. She comes to realize she is not alone, and several masked women begin moving and speaking. Aurelia, dressed as a French maid, objects to her entering late into the contest without passing the three tests the other "dolls" endured. They explain that the contest is to decide which "perfect doll" shall be the mother to his children; the eliminated will be gruesomely dealt with. Harlene and Bonnie show Coby to the room that they share. Some of them have been kidnapped from roadsides or their homes over recent weeks, but none have escaped. Coby spots a young boy, Otis, in the window of the main house.
• Harlene explains that Van Wirt ordered his adulterous wife (Otis' mother) and her lover thrown naked into a deep well two years prior when he caught them together. While officially a boating accident, the "dolls" know the cover story to be false.
• An alarm bell sounds and the dolls hurry to choose and dress in costumes, posed frozen for Otis and Van Wirt's entertainment. Otis is unamused by the new addition, "Coby the Clown". Otis believes that adults wrongly believe children like clowns, and a desperate Coby offers to show him a magic trick before he arranges for Eustace to dispose of her. While dubious of magic tricks, Otis is fascinated when Coby appears to push a toy truck across the floor with no visible means. He demands that she do so again, and she reluctantly repeats the strange trick.
• Later in their quarters, Aurelia is furious that Coby produced the magic trick and demands an explanation. Coby counters that Aurelia should consider instead what it means to win the contest. Will the winner become Van Wirt's wife? Aurelia doesn't care, and wants only to survive. The alarm rings out again, signaling a test. Van Wirt hastily describes a menu, for which the dolls must set a formal place. They have one minute to set the table properly, with the most mistaken doll eliminated. Aurelia's setting is perfect, while Harlene's is flawed. Coby loses major points, including a water glass knocked over in haste, but Faye's setting is ultimately the most mistaken. Eustace stuns her with a cattle prod and hoists her out the door and into the well.
• The next morning, Otis visits again. Coby admits to him that she has a telekinetic gift that she has kept secret. She left home because she was different, and she believes he can sympathize. Otis initially disputes that he is different, but concedes to her logic when she points out his current solitary lifestyle. He intimates that he hopes she will be the one to win. She subtly tries to persuade him not to dispose of the other dolls that lose, as they are her friends. She promises she will be a perfect mother if he can get his father to let the others go. That night, he approaches his father with the offer. Van Wirt, in a bad mood because of business matters, asks for Otis' trust in his search for the perfect mother; as a result, Otis backs down before he an make the offer.
• Van Wirt's next test comes the following day. Within three minutes, the dolls must blend a particular laundry tincture and iron the solution into a shirt as they fold. Harlene's solution is off, Coby's shirt is overstarched and scorched, and Bonnie's is improperly folded and scented. Only Aurelia's escapes comment. As punishment for Coby's burnt shirt, he holds the hot iron to her hand as she stands frozen without reaction. Eustace stabs the eliminated Bonnie and carries her away.
• Harlene and Coby conspire as Harlene sees to Coby's burnt hand. Aurelia overhears and retrieves a decorative pole-cap acorn secured by a sharp shaft, which she uses to shank the back of what she believes is Coby. Coby, anticipating this, has doffed her clown costume and placed it on a mannequin. Coby and Harlene confront Aurelia, who believes the contest is rigged; she does not want to die. Coby explains her plan for them to escape.
• Otis awakes in the night to the clanging of the bell, and watches his father and Eustace approach the dollhouse. Van Wirt expounds that the next test is about faith. While costumed dolls are posed in the parlor, the living women use the opportunity (and Coby's telekinetic ability) to escape. Coby stops the trio and says they must take Otis with them, as they don't know what an unstable Van Wirt may do with him once he discovers them missing. Van Wirt continues to read scripture as he enters to quiz the dolls on the canon. Van Wirt discovers that the dolls have placed their costumes on mannequins when "Coby" does not respond.
• Aurelia and Harlene part ways with Coby as she searches the house for Otis. They trek into the swamp at the edge of the property. Harlene falls and begs Aurelia to wait, but the younger woman holds a rock to smash her compatriot's skull for being "too slow and too loud". She does not get the opportunity, as Eustace shoots them both.
• Meanwhile, the real Coby urges Otis to go with her. He says he is sorry, and stuns her with a cattle prod. She awakes strapped to an oddly shaped metal table as Van Wirt explains that he overheard their escape plans via microphones embedded in the plastic dolls. The final test was risking her life for Otis' benefit, and she alone passed. She realizes that the table is a large doll mold, and that she is to be encased in flexible plastic. Her telekinetic power flickers the lights, but it is not enough to escape her fate.
• Coby, now living as a fused plastic doll serves tea to Otis and Van Wirt. She is shocked and mute, but Van Wirt insists she will recover over time. A teacup is propelled to the ceiling and smashes, to their disbelief. Two robed women, witches, freeze Eustace and Van Wirt in place. With flicks of the hand, she shatters the plastic envelope around Coby. They arrived as quickly as they could, as Coby's fledgling spells were weak and avoided detection. They bid Coby to join them, and Coby leaves the dollhouse with them and Otis; she will be his mother, but he may never return to this place. On the way out, one of the savior witches overhears a moan from the frozen Van Wirt. She exits, and with a flicker of magic sets him (and the dollhouse) ablaze.
• At the gates of their new home, Coby suggests that Otis call himself instead by his middle name (and plants a story that he has lived there for generations). He agrees, and thus he begins his new life as Spalding with his new friend, a young witch named Myrtle Snow.
