List of American Horror Story episodes

"Spilt Milk" is the eleventh episode of the second season of the FX anthology television series American Horror Story. The episode, written by series co-creator Brad Falchuk and directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, aired on January 9, 2013. This episode is rated TV-MA (LSV).

In the episode, Lana (Sarah Paulson) is able to escape the asylum and expose its mistreatments, including those from Dr. Thredson (Zachary Quinto). Kit (Evan Peters) and Grace (Lizzie Brocheré) are allowed to leave the asylum but get a surprise at home. Judy (Jessica Lange) promises Monsignor Howard (Joseph Fiennes) that his and his asylum's downfall are soon to come.

Dr. Thredson gets Kit out of his cell to take him to visit Grace and child in the dayroom. Pepper (Naomi Grossman) wants to protect her but Thredson clears the dayroom so the three can be alone. Kit asks Grace what she remembers of her alien abduction and she recalls the painful process of the baby being put inside her. The baby had grown quickly inside of her as time runs differently for the aliens. Kit believes Alma is dead and he proposes to Grace. Monsignor Howard arrives with a group of people from St. Ursula's Home for Lost Children to take the baby from them.

Mother Superior Claudia (Barbara Tarbuck) gives Lana her personal file in hopes to expose the asylum's mistreatments. Mother Superior wishes the place was destroyed. She tells Lana a change of clothes is in the next room and a taxi is outside. Lana tells Judy that she will come back for her. Out in the lobby, Thredson tells Kit he can help get his baby back, but he must convince Lana to give him the recorded confession. Thredson will tell the police Dr. Arden was the serial killer. As they talk, Lana passes behind them in a long coat and head scarf. Kit sees her and distracts Thredson, allowing her to leave the asylum. Lana gets into the taxi and shows a shocked Thredson the tape before flipping him off as she is driven away.
