Warning: The following contains major spoilers for American Horror Stories Season 1, Episode 2, "Rubber(wo)Man Part Two," now streaming on Hulu.

Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's American Horror Stories' premiere kicked off with a bang, dropping a two-part episode. The first installment, "Rubber(wo)man Part One," followed Michael (Matt Bomer) and Troy (Gavin Creel), along with their angsty, slightly sociopathic teenage daughter Scarlett (Sierra McCormick), after they purchased American Horror Story: Murder House's titular home in hopes of renovating it into a haunted bed and breakfast. As far as their daughter's story goes, Scarlett's run-in with a particularly cruel group of popular girls resulted in her murdering them and burying their bodies behind a brick wall on the property. Given that all people killed on the Murder House's grounds are doomed to spend eternity there, Maya (Paris Jackson) and her posse still roam the halls -- and they are hungry for revenge.

When "Rubber(wo)Man Part Two" picks up, it's clear weeks have passed since Scarlett murdered Maya and her friends. In that time, she met another spirit, Ruby (Kaia Gerber), and began a romance. In many ways, the girls are perfect for each other. Both seem to share a twisted lust for blood and murder. However, while taking a bath together, Ruby divulges her horrific past, which explains her violent tendencies. As a child, Ruby was sent to live with her abusive Uncle Tony after her parents died. After enduring years of torture, Uncle Tony brought her to see her parents, revealing that they never died -- they just didn't want her.

The incident filled her with so much pain and hate; she wanted to kill every living thing she crossed paths with, including herself. So she drove to the Murder House, thinking its high-profile status would cause her death to make headlines and likely catch the attention of her parents. However, the realtor moved her body, leaving her death a mystery and filling her with more anger.

While Scarlett's clearly moved on from Maya and the other girls' murders, the police have not. They return to talk to Michael and Troy, informing them the girls' cellphone records place them at the Murder House and Scarlett as their last contact. Despite the evidence, Michael and Troy remain adamant that their daughter has nothing to do with the girls' disappearances. That night, Maya and her posse appear in Scarlett's room, eager to kill their murderer. However, Ruby intervenes and protects Scarlett.

Meanwhile, Michael and Troy's marriage begins to crack. Michael wants to sell the house. Not only does he fear they are financially in over their head, but he also says he's seen ghosts, including the infamous Piggy Man, who premiered in AHS: Murder House. In contrast, Troy wants to stay. Convinced they will make their money back, he decides to hire a contractor behind Michael's back. Aside from keeping that secret, Michael later walks in on Troy flirting with the contractor, Adam (Aaron Tveit), much to his dismay.

Although Troy insists he won't cheat, he does so in the next scene. However, Troy and Adam's affair is interrupted by Adam's worker, Martin (Abraham Luna), who has uncovered a horrible smell coming from behind the brick wall Scarlett built. Adam tears down the wall, revealing the bodies of Maya and the other girls. Before anyone can react, he bashes Martin's head in, terrifying Michael and Troy. Adam explains that Martin would "be a problem," but he will keep their secret. The catch is, he wants to be a partner in the bed and breakfast, do all the contracting work and get in on their marriage.

The blackmail situation also results in Michael learning of Troy's infidelity, which sends him into a rage. Despite Michael's threats, Adam throws him out of the house. But, upon opening the door, the Rubber Man stabs Adam. Michael and Troy desperately try to flee, but they teleport back into the house. This is when they learn they are dead after Ruby murdered them to get Scarlett to stay.

Scarlett returns home to discover the girls' bodies have been unearthed and her dads murdered. She knows Ruby killed them and confronts her. Given Scarlett's sadistic nature, she recovers quickly from the incident, choosing to go to a Halloween party instead of leaving the house like her dads beg her to. Considering Halloween is the one day ghosts can walk the Earth, Ruby accompanies her. Meanwhile, Maya and the girls plan to follow and finally get their revenge by killing Scarlett off the property.

While at the Halloween party, Scarlett has a heart-to-heart with Ruby, asking her not to rob her of the choice to leave. She makes Ruby promise not to kill her in the Murder House just because Ruby's scared Scarlett will abandon her. Ruby agrees just before Scarlett's friend from school, Shanti (Belissa Escobedo), interrupts them. Shanti's angry Scarlett's been ignoring her, but a jealous Ruby scares her off. Scarlett follows Shanti. To her surprise, her friend accuses Scarlett of killing the girls and being a "psychopath." She demands that Scarlett stay out of her life, and Scarlett angrily walks off.

That's when Maya and her crew approach Shanti and threaten to kill her for standing in the way of justice. However, Ruby steps in and chases them off. Later, Ruby and Scarlett cross paths in a haunted house, where they each take pleasure in murdering the actors. But it's not long before they are interrupted by the revenge-seeking girls. Knowing they plan to kill Scarlett, Ruby tells her to run.
