"She Gets Revenge" is the tenth episode of the fifth season of the horror-anthology television series American Horror Story. It aired on December 16, 2015 on the cable network FX. The episode was written by James Wong and directed by Bradley Buecker.
Liz Taylor (Denis O'Hare) shows an elderly couple to their rooms while she reminisces on the repeating groups of people who check into the hotel, including drug addicts and adulterous partners. The elderly couple take their own lives, and while Liz finds it beautiful and poetic, Iris (Kathy Bates) is annoyed with the amount of cleaning it will take to remove the blood from the walls. Influenced by the scene, Liz decides to take her own life, still mourning the death of Tristan Duffy (Finn Wittrock), but Iris stops her, informing her that she has to complete any unfinished business before she follows through. Liz decides to reconnect with her son, and has Hazel (Mare Winningham) set up a meeting for the two of them so she will not be trapped in the hotel.
At a motel, Donovan (Matt Bomer) has a confrontation with Rudolph Valentino (Finn Wittrock), and kills him. At the hotel, Elizabeth (Lady Gaga) has a similar encounter with Natacha, and kills the latter. Sally (Sarah Paulson) and John Lowe (Wes Bentley) awe at a set of ears John has collected from his latest killing. James Patrick March (Evan Peters) meanwhile decides to immolate alive his captive building contractor who failed to meet his demands just as John enters. John asks him where he can find Alex (Chloë Sevigny), and he schedules them a formal dinner for them to talk. At the dinner, John confronts Alex for lying to him about Holden (Lennon Henry) being at the hotel. Alex apologizes and the two make amends. She informs John that Elizabeth has threatened to kill her and Holden if she does not contain an outbreak of the virus that she started when she infected her patient, Max (Anton Lee Starkman).
