I will believe you, because I'm not going to rewatch -- was it in the kitchen when he first saw her?

Yeah -- he did a double-take and finally just said something to the wife like, "You are so.... surprising" or similar.

Yes - I guess he was seeing it as a sign of trust on her part.

Aright, I'll go with that interpretation, even though that was a pretty half-assed attempt, and why the hell would he believe that she trust him? I'd have more thought, "She is totes testing me!" He is clearly living in that fantasy world that we sometimes like to pretend is real. Well, except that his is kind of a phantasmagorical, isn't it? It will be interesting to see how it plays out now that she's obviously throwing herself at him.

Weird-ass show. Maybe I will have to watch again just for the fun of discussing it here.

Oh lord, there are so many questions. Just two for now: 1) who was in the bondage suit and a) was that her vision or his in the kitchen?

No idea who or what was in the bondage suit. What was the vision in the kitchen?

Where Dylan's character holds his hand over the flame at the oven and Jessica Lange's character stops him and tells him it's not his time to die yet?

No, during the bondage suit scene where they showed Dylan was elsewhere (maybe it wasn't the kitchen). I wasn't sure if he was fantasizing the scene with his wife (can't remember the characters names to save my life at this point, but that's happened with series I like before) or it was showing he was elsewhere. Or, you know, both.

Yeah - this show is fucking looney tunes crazy out of the box. I'd like to be able to relate to SOMEONE in order to continue involvement. But it is a fun spookhouse experience at this point + kink.

I... think those were happening at the same time now that my memory is jogged. The way I interpreted it, the bondage suit sex was happening while he was in the kitchen about to hold his hand over the burner. Who or what was imagination in either place -- the bedroom or the kitchen -- is up for grabs. I think we were being lead to think that it was not Husband in the bondage suit, rather that he was in the kitchen and who knows what was in the suit.

If Connie Britton's character actually got pregnant from sex with The Gimp, I assume that there was an actual living person inside the suit - maybe Dennis O'Hare's murderous burn victim, or another person we've not seen yet. But if she's deluded about that, or somehow correct but conceived during the angry sex with her husband, there might not have been anyone.
