"Continuum" is the twelfth and episode of the second season of the FX anthology television series American Horror Story. The episode, written by series co-creator Ryan Murphy and directed by Craig Zisk, originally aired on January 16, 2013. This episode is rated TV-MA (LSV).
In the episode, Kit (Evan Peters) must deal with both Alma (Britne Oldford) and Grace (Lizzie Brocheré) at home. Sister Jude (Jessica Lange), now known as "Betty Drake", slips further into insanity at the asylum. Lana (Sarah Paulson) publishes a book about her ordeal, even though it may not all be true. Johnny (Dylan McDermott) seeks out a copy of the book to continue his father's "work".
Life in the Walker household has become strained. Kit (Evan Peters) is living with both Alma (Britne Oldford) and Grace (Lizzie Brocheré) (though polygamy is illegal) and his two children, one from each wife. Kit tries to comfort Alma's fear that the aliens might return, while Grace would welcome such an event, as she claims they are the future. As Kit and Grace discuss this, Alma abruptly kills Grace with an axe, stating she had to stop her. Kit is left horrified.
At the asylum, Sister Jude (Jessica Lange) is now known as "Betty Drake" to hide her identity and faked death. Monsignor Timothy Howard (Joseph Fiennes) tells her that he is leaving to be Cardinal of New York and that the asylum has been donated to the state, and promises Jude he will get her out. Inmates from the local prison overflow will now be brought into the asylum. The patients' rooms become double-occupancy and Jude's new roommate resembles Shachath (Frances Conroy), the Angel of Death, which terrifies her. Jude ends up hallucinating it all and is taken to Dr. Miranda Crump (Robin Bartlett), asylum administrator. Crump tells Jude that she has gone through five different roommates in two months. In confusion, Jude mentions that Howard had promised to get her out and that her only friend, Pepper (Naomi Grossman), was a witness of this. Crump informs a shocked Jude that it has been two years since then and that Pepper died in 1966.
