This episode is rated TV-MA (LSV). In the episode, Dr. Arden (James Cromwell) puts an end to his experiments; Kit (Evan Peters) and Lana (Sarah Paulson) continue to pressure the killer Dr. Thredson (Zachary Quinto), who reveals several secrets to Kit; now a patient and known by her common name, Judy Martin, Sister Jude (Jessica Lange) gets subjected to the asylum's inhumane treatments; and Monsignor Howard (Joseph Fiennes) takes the fight to the possessed Sister Mary Eunice (Lily Rabe). ==Plot== Dr. Arden revives Kit, who asks if the plan to make the aliens return was successful. Arden, who has placed Grace in his laboratory, lies to Kit that the aliens did not visit. Pepper was also taken by the aliens and has been returned with a new level of intelligence to guard Grace. Sister Mary Eunice takes a bandaged Monsignor by wheelchair to her room to recover. He reflects on being visited by the Angel of Death while crucified: she had told him that he must help her force the Devil out of Mary Eunice, but he must keep his thoughts of doing so hidden from the nun. Mary Eunice has a jukebox delivered to the day room to pacify the patients. Sister Jude is now an inmate of the asylum and is known by her former name, Judy. During a room check, Judy acts rebellious to Mary Eunice and is taken to Arden for electroconvulsive therapy. Arden allows Mary Eunice to work the controls; she sets them past his requested amount and turns on the machine. Later, Mary Eunice tries to change the bandages on the monsignor's hands and he grabs her, attempting to perform an exorcism. Mary Eunice forces him onto the bed and rapes him. Arden witnesses the act. In the dayroom, Lana approaches a dazed Judy and asks her name, offering hers to help her recover from the electroshock. This causes Judy to hallucinate playing "The Name Game" song on the jukebox and performing it with all the patients in the room. Lana brings her back to reality by telling Judy her own name. Outside on the asylum grounds, Sister Mary Eunice walks with Arden as he delivers body parts to the Raspers. She suggests performing a lobotomy on Judy and he declines. He pulls out a gun and kills the Raspers and tries to shoot himself. He cannot and clings to Mary Eunice, who calls him "pitiful." In the kitchen, the monsignor wishes to unburden himself to Judy, saying she was correct about Mary Eunice being possessed. He asks her opinion on what to do and she simply replies: "Kill her," meaning Mary Eunice, who later admits to him of knowing his plan to cast out the Devil. They eventually end up on the stairs balcony, where he is able to draw out the human part of Mary Eunice, who wishes she could die. He throws her off the third-floor balcony down to the lobby floor. The Angel of Death comes to claim both Sister Mary Eunice and the Devil. Dr. Thredson goes to Arden's office, seeking sodium pentathol. He hears screaming coming from the nearby laboratory and finds Pepper monitoring Grace, who is almost ready to deliver the baby. Thredson later takes Kit to an office, where Grace is holding her newborn baby. Grace confirms that the baby is Kit's and he asks Thredson what he has planned. Thredson goes to the hydrotherapy room to look for the taped recording of his confession. He cannot find it and Lana enters to say that she has it, threatening to turn it over to the police should anything happen to Kit or anyone else. In the dayroom, Judy recites the names of the patients there to herself. Mother Superior Claudia (Barbara Tarbuck) sits in front of her and, after a brief rambling, Judy pleads for her help in getting Lana out of the asylum. The monsignor performs last rites on Mary Eunice, with Arden attending. He says she needs to be prepared for burial and Arden suggests cremation, adding that the very cells of her body have been corrupted by the Devil. The monsignor relents. Alone, Arden later prepares the furnace for the cremation. He starts the fire inside, climbs on top of Mary Eunice's body, and starts the conveyor to immolate himself. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Name Game (American Horror Story)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
