"Chutes and Ladders" is the second episode of the fifth season of the anthology television series American Horror Story. It aired on October 14, 2015 on the cable network FX. The episode was written by Tim Minear and directed by Bradley Buecker
Sally (Sarah Paulson) sews Gabriel (Max Greenfield) into a mattress but is interrupted by cries for help traveling through the air ducts. She goes to the prison room to complain and there finds Elizabeth's (Lady Gaga) vampire children feeding on the wrists of Agnetha. They complain about the taste of her blood and Iris (Kathy Bates) pronounces her dead. Liz (Denis O'Hare) wheels the corpse of Agnetha to the garbage chute where several other corpses are, and Iris covers it with quicklime to decrease the smell of decomposition. The children's clean blood is taken to Elizabeth. She wants to go to an art opening to hunt, but Donovan (Matt Bomer) wants to stay in.
Max Ellison, a patient of Alex (Chloë Sevigny), has symptoms of the measles. Alex reprimands his mother for not being serious about the boy's illness. John (Wes Bentley) awakes in Room 64 from nightmares. He sees Holden outside and chases him. Sally engages him on the balcony bar, where they talk about each other's lives. In the police department, John receives a strange delivery, which is a package from Hotel Cortez. Initially thought to be a bomb, instead it contains the "Oscar" used in another murder.
Claudia Bankson (Naomi Campbell) visits Will (Cheyenne Jackson) at the Hotel for a party. John thinks the fashion show inappropriate for his daughter until Will introduces her to Lachlan (Lyric Lennon). Tristan Duffy (Finn Wittrock), a drug user male model, disrupts the fashion show in the party; his antics intrigue Elizabeth. Meanwhile, after successfully sneaking away from the fashion show Lachlan leads Scarlett to a hidden passage where the towheads sleep in glass coffins. Tristan breaks his way into the penthouse to track down cocaine. Donovan intervenes, and is stopped from eating Tristan by Elizabeth. Tristan flees and finds himself on the 7th floor. He encounters James March (Evan Peters), who notices Tristan and calls Miss Evers (Mare Winningham) with a bound prostitute in tow. March offers Tristan a gun, but kills the woman himself when Tristan declines. Tristan runs and is shortly after captured by Elizabeth.
