Now that the holidays are over, American Horror Story: Freak Show (AHS: Freak Show) bounces right back to the center of the drama unfolding at Elsa’s (Jessica Lang) carnival of curiosities. “Magical Thinking” is a far cry from the emotional rollercoaster witnessed in the last episode, "Orphans.” Instead, we return to the core story lines revolving around Elsa’s fame game, Stanley’s (Denis O’Hare) sinister scheme, and the consequence of Dell’s (Michael Chiklis) involvement with Ma Petite’s (Jyoti Amge) death.
