In this two-part episode, the Harmons are visited by the former owners of the house and are given advice on Halloween decorating while Tate (Evan Peters) is harassed by bloody teens while on a date with Violet (Taissa Farmiga). Kate Mara and Zachary Quinto are credited as special guest stars for their roles as Hayden McClaine, the student Ben was having an affair with; and Chad Warwick, one of the former owners of the house.
In 2010, a couple, Chad (Zachary Quinto) and Patrick (Teddy Sears) now own the house. They have a damaging relationship and while decorating the house, Chad confronts Patrick about his infidelity after finding seductive messages to a person online before an angered Patrick leaves. Moments later, the Rubber Man appears and Chad believes the man to be his partner but the latex figure ends up attacking him before attempting to drown him and breaking his neck. Patrick, in a cowboy costume arrives and sees Chad's corpse before staring at the Rubber Man in shock.
Vivien (Connie Britton) calls a private security officer named Luke (Morris Chestnut) over to install more defense mechanisms for the house. The Harmons hire interior designers ("fluffers") to make over the house to help it sell, mistaking Chad and Patrick for the fluffers. Chad tells Vivien that he once caught Patrick cheating by checking his phone bill, suggesting she do the same. Meanwhile, Larry (Denis O'Hare) harasses Ben (Dylan McDermott), demanding payment for killing Hayden (Kate Mara), but Ben rebuffs him. Ben agrees to continue sessions with Tate (Evan Peters), but outside the house only.
