The performers featured in the freak show on FX's American Horror Story: Freak Show will have to watch out when two new characters decide they want to kill them.

Jessica Lange May Be On Board Beyond 'Freak Show'

Con artists Stanley (Denis O'Hare) and Maggie (Emma Roberts), two characters that were not present in the Freak Show premiere, will come up with a plan to potential murder the "freaks." This goes down in Episode 5, titled Pink Cupcakes, according to a new plot synopsis released by FX.

"Stanley and Maggie hatch a plan to murder the Freaks," the synopsis reads, continuing: "Gloria [Frances Conroy] hides the evidence of Dandy's [Finn Wittrock] gruesome new hobby. A health scare reveals Desiree [Angela Bassett] may not be the oddity she once thought."

It is not known just yet why the pair of con artists want to murder the "freaks." However, those who watched the premiere probably aren't too surprised to learn that Dandy is an odd character. Based on the synopsis, it seems that he might pick up a new habit that might just involve murder of some sort, if mother Gloria is hiding evidence for him.

A promo for the second episode of the season, titled Massacres and Matinees, features Gloria presenting Dandy with his very own clown, who just so happens to be the murderous Twisty (John Carroll Lynch), featured in the premiere. Is Dandy going to follow in Twisty's bloody footsteps?

Either way, it seems like fans will be in for some more murder and gore, though it wouldn't be a season of American Horror Story without such things.

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