'American Horror Story' Season 4 Cast: Evan Peters' Character Will Be 'Smitten' With Emma Roberts In 'Freak Show' [VIDEO]
A new plot synopsis for the third episode of FX's American Horror Story: Freak Show has been released, essentially confirming that two of the younger stars may enter into a relationship.
FX released a plot synopsis for Episode 3 of Freak Show, titled Edward Mordrake, Pt. 1, and as previously revealed, stars Evan Peters and Emma Roberts will have a romantically-charged storyline.
"The Freaks refuse to perform on Halloween due to an old carny superstition. Jimmy [Peters] is smitten by a woman claiming to be a fortuneteller [Roberts]. Ethel [Kathy Bates] receives life-changing news," the synopsis reads.

The episode is written by James Wong and directed by Michael Uppendahl.
Based on the wording of the plot synopsis, it seems that fortuneteller Maggie will be making her Freak Show debut in the third episode. This also confirms the previous news that Peters and Roberts' characters will have a romantic relationship, per show co-creator Ryan Murphy.
However, Maggie is not a real fortuneteller. She is actually a con artist along with her partner Stanley (Denis O'Hare), who come to the freak show to "help" the performers.
Peters and Roberts are actually engaged in real life and appeared on-screen together last year for American Horror Story: Coven. Peters played frat boy Kyle Spencer during the season while Roberts played teen diva Madison Montgomery.
American Horror Story: Freak Show is set to kick off Wednesday, Oct. 8 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.
