"Chapter 9" is the ninth episode of the sixth season of the anthology television series American Horror Story. It aired on November 9, 2016, on the cable network FX. The episode was written by Tim Minear and directed by Alexis O. Korycinski.
Sophie Green (Taissa Farmiga), Milo (Jon Bass), and Todd Connors (Jacob Artist) – three fanatics of My Roanoke Nightmare who run a blog dedicated to the series – head out into the woods during the blood moon in search of the Roanoke house. They have cameras strapped to their heads and plan to record everything in the hopes that they will become famous. The three of them come across the tree that Flora's hoodie was placed on top of at the end of the second episode. They all pull out their phones to take pictures but just then, they are interrupted by a bloodied woman walking towards them and begging for help. As the three attempt to engage the woman, she turns and runs off into the woods. The three bloggers proceed to give chase only to come across the woman's dead body in an over turned car in the middle of the woods.
Audrey and Lee interrogate Dylan as to why he showed up at the house in the first place. Dylan tells the women that he was contracted by Sidney to show up on the third day dressed as the Piggy Man. Audrey asks for his phone and his car and he tells her that he wasn't allowed to bring his phone with him and that he took an Uber to get to the house. Dylan questions why the women are so scared. Audrey counters him by showing him Shelby's dead body and telling him that everyone except for them and Monet are dead. She reveals everything that they have reenacted was based on real events. As soon as Dylan sees Shelby's dead body, he begins to formulate an escape plan. The two women tell him that Monet is still alive and is being held captive by the Polks. Lee tells Dylan that she and Audrey are returning to the Polk's compound to retrieve the tapes of the Polks murders, and that going back there is the best chance to escape as the Polk family have vehicles. Dylan wants to go alone but is convinced by Lee and Audrey to let them tag along. The three bloggers are being interrogated by the police and recount their story about finding the dead woman. After failing to convince the interrogating officer that what happened at the site was real, (the police found no evidence of any dead bodies), they are told by the officer to stay away from the house and to stop making up stories. Dylan, Audrey, and Lee arrive to the Polk compound. Dylan goes to secure the truck and Lee and Audrey go to look for Monet and the tapes. The two women split up, Lee in search of the tapes and Audrey in search of Monet. Audrey finds Monet and the tapes but is stopped by Ishmael Polk arriving, threatening to murder the two women for what they did to Mama Polk. Audrey pulls out a revolver and shoots him. Meanwhile, Dylan secures the truck and starts it but just as he does, he is injured by Lot Polk. Just at that moment, Lee returns to the truck, not having found anything, and Lot stops what he's doing to chase her into the woods. Audrey and Monet come outside and find the injured Dylan on the ground. The two are interrupted by Thomasin's mob surrounding the Polk compound and are forced to flee into the woods, leaving Dylan behind.
