She Wants Revenge (American Horror Story)

They reach the Cortez and prepare to kill the Countess, but Donovan, still in love with Elizabeth, traps Ramona in a blocked hallway and tasers her.

The critical consensus reads: "Angela Bassett shines as Ramona Royale in "She Wants Revenge," but her story arc feels forced this late in the season of Hotel.

John Lowe's long, strange, bloody and warped trip last time, AHS: Hotel turned its attention back to the character at the center of it all, Lady Gaga's the Countess.

"[4] Matt Fowler from IGN was also of the same opinion, saying, "Hotel sobered up this week, peeling itself away from its current streak of enjoyable-but-masturbatory flashbacks to coldly remind us that the beating heart of this season is an unfathomably dull vampire story.

"[5] Writing for the Den of Geek, Ron Hogan observed, "One of the interesting choices in this episode, written by Brad Falchuk, is that it's communicated mostly through voiceovers.

Moylan believed that the unnecessary bits of the episode, including the sub-plot regarding the porn filming, were adequately mixed in the main story.

"[8] Darren Franich from Entertainment Weekly observed that "[the episode] was at the point of an American Horror Story season when the players on the final-act chessboard start moving into position".

Reviewers criticized the under-utilization of Angela Bassett in the series as a whole and believed Ramona's storyline did not fit in the episode.
