American Horror Story: Hotel List of American Horror Story episodes

"Mommy" is the third episode of the fifth season of the anthology television series American Horror Story. It aired on October 21, 2015 on the cable network FX. This episode was written by James Wong and directed by Bradley Buecker.

Tristan Duffy (Finn Wittrock) meets with James March (Evan Peters) and talk about secret places in the Hotel, which James wants Tristan to re-open. Meanwhile, Will Drake (Cheyenne Jackson) leads Claudia Bankson (Naomi Campbell) and his son Lachlan (Lyric Lennon) on a tour of the 7th floor, and encounter Tristan in March's suite. Will demands Tristan to leave, but notes that the cut from his face is gone. When the trio leave, March and Miss Evers (Mare Winningham) say that the floor should remain unoccupied. Tristan says he will take care of it.

Alex Lowe (Chloë Sevigny) muses on her unhappy childhood as a reason for choosing her career as a pediatrician. She recalls her love for Holden, which surpassed that of her love for Scarlett and her husband. Holden's disappearance had even led her to attempt suicide. In a therapeutic session with their family counselor, John inquires about Scarlett's (Shree Crooks) story, and she describes again her encounter with Holden at the hotel. Claudia's phone call breaks up when she comes into her room. She is distracted by noises and ghostly sights in her room. As she lies down to sleep, Gabriel (Max Greenfield) bursts from the mattress beneath Claudia and stabs her to death. John and Adam investigate a gossip magazine office where all the employees have been killed and note it as another murder of the Ten Commandments Killer. John returns to the hotel to stumble upon a bloody Gabriel in the lobby wanting help.
