In this episode, Ben (Dylan McDermott) sees a patient who fears an urban legend about a man who slaughters those who say a special mantra into a mirror. Eric Stonestreet guest stars as Derek, Ben's patient.
At Westfield High School in 1994, a shooter enters the school and begins killing students. He winds up in the school library, where he wounds a teacher trying to block the entrance and murders five students. The shooter is revealed to be Tate (Evan Peters). At the end of the episode, a SWAT team finds him at the house (owned at the time by Constance) and kills him when he pulls a gun on them.
After Violet (Taissa Farmiga) confirms online that Tate was killed after his massacre at Westfield High, Constance (Jessica Lange) introduces her to a medium, named Billie Dean Howard (Sarah Paulson). She and Constance explain that Tate is unaware that he is dead; Constance has been sending him to Ben, hoping a breakthrough will help him pass on and they need Violet’s help, though Violet is frightened by this revelation.
Ben (Dylan McDermott) needs to use the house for his therapy sessions to make them money, and Vivien (Connie Britton) agrees out of necessity. Ben sees a new patient, named Derek (Eric Stonestreet), who is terrified by urban legends, most recently the urban legend of "Piggy Man", who will slaughter anyone who repeats a specific mantra in the mirror. Ben also begins noticing that Vivien has developed an attraction to the security officer Luke (Morris Chestnut) who checks on her after she purposefully pushes the security alarm.
