Finally caught up on AHS tonight, and I can’t fucking believe my theory on its connection to Apocalyse/Murder House has been revived
Warning: spoilers for AHS episodes all the way up to Season 9, Episode 5: “Red Dawn,” and theories that could very likely be bullshit but my brain loves thinking this shit up
So, we have discovered who survived, who died and became ghosts, and other ghosts (who are apparently able to go outside the boundaries of the property they died in because they swore themselves to Satan.)
But Brooke... something interesting happened to her.
She slept with Ray, but she didn’t know until AFTER they had sex that Ray was dead.
Hmmm....
So this could mean...
Yeah. Emily is Brooke and Ray’s daughter. Created by the conception of a human woman and a ghost male. Usually when the fetus grown to full term happens to be male (biologically, not the gender role), he becomes the antichrist.
But what if it’s a girl?
My only guess is females can only be the bearers of antichrists - which I find sexist by the way... I can only assume Satan is sexist in this story universe but I have no idea if this can pertain to real life cause I’m not a Satanist. ANYWAY!!!!
It may be possible that Emily was born in 1985, but was taken by someone or something at some point. There is speculation that Emily could be the daughter of Lee in the Roanoke season, but it was implied that her Emily is dead. The thing is, there’s two possibilities and reasons why for Lee to assume Emily is dead:
Emily could have been kidnapped by the aliens seen in Asylum... or taken away by Marie Laveau. My money is on Marie if this theory is true. It wasn’t mentioned how old Emily was when she was taken - what if it was when she was a baby? And it begs the question of how Apocalypse Emily is Lee’s Emily when she gave birth to her? It could be Lee is lying that she gave birth to her, or her baby was “switched” with Apocalypse Emily.
If we look back at other Antichrist stories, we find ourselves at 1976’s The Omen - the film I’m obsessed with and trying to finish a sequel fanfic of - anyway! Satan’s followers killed the Thorn family’s baby in order for Robert Thorn to secretly adopt Damien, son of Satan and the antichrist. Maybe some of Satan’s followers did the same thing with Lee’s baby so she could take Emily.
Whoa... I just realized the woman who portrayed Kathy Thorn, her name is LEE REMICK.
IS THIS A COINCIDENCE?!!!!
Now, the idea about Marie Laveau taking her. Every year she needs to take a baby and give it to Papa Legba for whatever purposes he has for them. What’s the chance he asked for baby Emily so he can put her in the appropriate time to meet Timothy? He knew very well about Michael Langdon, huge chance he knew about Emily and helped the devil out.
Still, no wonder how Michael and The Cooperative knew about Emily. Satan had always known who she was. Now her husband Timothy, whom we still don’t have much to go on with his lineage, seemed to be the perfect match for Emily’s DNA to create the new antichrist. Hopefully we’ll get the answers to that in another season but I find it doubtful. Do I hope we revisit the Apocalypse plot and find out what happens to the coven and the new antichrist? Yes, I do. But one can only hope...
Despite all I said, it’s just a theory. For all I know it’s bullshit created by mere coincidences, my imagination, and odd wishful thinking.
