"Nor'easter" is the third episode of the second season of the anthology television series American Horror Story, which premiered on October 31, 2012 on the cable network FX. The episode is written by Jennifer Salt and directed by Michael Uppendahl.

The episode focuses on the asylum's staff attempt to maintain order as a fierce storm hits the area, allowing some patients to try another escape. Chloë Sevigny guest stars as Shelley. The episode originally aired two days after Hurricane Sandy's U.S. landfall. This episode is rated TV-MA (LSV).
Hearing her screams from behind the door, Teresa (Jenna Dewan Tatum) is spotted by Bloody Face who kicks open the door and attacks her. Grabbing her, Bloody Face then throws Teresa against a wall, knocking her unconscious. Bloody Face prepares to kill Teresa when Leo (Adam Levine), in an attempt to save her life, throws himself into Bloody Face's way, knocking both of them onto the floor and Bloody Face unconscious. While Teresa regains consciousness, Leo kicks the murder weapon away from Bloody Face towards Teresa. Grabbing the weapon, Teresa violently stabs Bloody Face. They attempt to run down the hall to escape and another Bloody Face on the other end stops them. In disbelief, they turn around to see a third Bloody Face, who fatally shoots them. The two Bloody Faces removed their masks and discuss the recent events, with one appearing nervous of their crime. One of them notices Leo's arm and questions it just as another Bloody Face approaches them.
Sister Mary Eunice (Lily Rabe) brings Sister Jude (Jessica Lange) the mail and a newspaper – dated June 28, 1949 in Framingham – with a picture of the "missing" girl (Chelsey Valentine) that Jude hit with her car. Sister Mary Eunice later announces in the dayroom that the movie The Sign of the Cross will be shown to the residents to soothe them during the coming storm. A suspicious patient (Gloria Laino), who can sense Mary Eunice is possessed, tells "Satan" to stay away from her. Dr. Arden (James Cromwell) has again strapped down Kit (Evan Peters), after seeing the removed chip seamlessly come together when he dissects it and it seeming eager to return to Kit. Arden fears the Stasi, the KGB or even the American Jews have sent Kit to spy on him. He re-opens Kit's neck wound to look for more evidence.
