Side - American Horror Story - Is Violet dead?
Over the last few weeks, there has been speculation about that Violet overdosed and died when she took the pills from Leah, even though it appeared that Tate saved her. I believe that Violet is most likely dead or if not dead, she is no longer the same person who first arrived in California. Instead, when she died and was revived by Tate, the house retained a hold over her. In either case, here are clues from the last few episodes.
Clues that she is dead
  • The last time we saw her leave the house was in “Open House.” She went to the school to find out if Tate was responsible for the massacre or not. It was after this that she was upset and took the pills.
  • Violet was able to see the ghosts before she took the pills, but it wasn’t until after this that Tate said she was now “evolved” and could make the ghosts go away.
  • On the beach, Tate didn’t want to be intimate with Violet. After the pill incident, Tate and Violet had sex. What changed? Also, Violet said that it didn’t hurt. If she is alive, the first time would have been painful, at least a little.
  • Violet hasn’t been in school for two weeks. And, in the last episode, didn’t leave her room.
  • When Vivien and Violet try to leave, there are two ghosts in the back seat of their car to scare them back into the house. If dead, Violet can’t leave the property.
...is Violet dead or alive?
Other items to consider
  • One intriguing clue that could go either way is that her parents call her out at dinner about her attitude. She says that it’s not like she’s going to kill herself. Hmm … what if she is already dead. Tate doesn’t know he is dead. So, is it possible that she doesn’t know she’s dead either?
  • We have seen Violet sleep, do ghosts sleep? Or, it is just out of habit, especially if she doesn’t know she is dead.
  • If she died, where is her body? Did Larry dispose of it like he did with Travis’s body? Or, was she revived?
Based on these items, do you think Violet is alive? dead? revived in an unknown state?
In the preview for this week’s episode, a guy says “You have something dead in your wall.” At first I thought it was going to be Violet. Then I decided it couldn’t be Violet; that would be too obvious. So, I guessed it was the dog. Whatever happened to the dog? I don’t think we’ve seen it since we saw it wasn’t microwaved. But, at the end of the preview clip, the guy is pretty freaked out. I don’t think a dog would do that. So, I don’t have a guess. Do you think it will be Violet in the wall or someone/thing else?
