The third episode of FX's American Horror Story: Hotel will feature more insight into Matt Bomer's character, Donovan.

Donovan was cast aside by The Countess (Lady Gaga) in the latest episode of American Horror Story: Hotel, traded in for a better, younger model Tristan (Finn Wittrock). Now, the next episode will allow viewers to see Donovan's story, according to Bomer himself.

"In the next episode, you're going to get some real insight into who he is, his circumstances especially in terms of his relationship with his mother [Kathy Bates], and how he came to be at the hotel in the first place," Bomer said in a new interview with Yahoo. "But the real thrust of this character seems to be to get back to her any way he can. He loves her. He needs her. He relies on her. He will also try to find his identity outside and independent of her and try to figure out how to bring that back to her."

The third episode will also see the introduction of actress Ramona Royale (Angela Bassett), who was similarly slighted by The Countess

"I think Donovan will do whatever it takes and align with whoever might help him reach his goals and get the Countess' attention again," Bomer said, of the introduction of Ramona Royale. "And the more dangerous, the better. He's immortal, but as Gaga warned the new guy, that doesn't make him completely unstoppable."

Will Donovan get back in the good graces of The Countess again? What will Donovan's mother Iris think of The Countess' decision? And how will Ramona Royale figure into things?

American Horror Story: Hotel airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.
