My opinion

The episode presents a couple that has been trying to get pregnant for over two years without any success. Willing to try everything Liv Whitley (Billie Lourd) accepts a totem of a fertility god that’s supposed to help. 16 months later the baby is here but Liv is regretting becoming a mother. With her already feeling frustrated things gets worse when a demon starts treating to take the baby away.

The plot is something that we have seen before, especially on the American Horror Story universe. With a running time of 50 minutes it goes fast passed without feeling rushed or boring. A little predictable by times but the ending has an unexpected twist. Worth watching and definitely better than the last episode that was awful.
