Madison is a culture and entertainment journalist who received her degree in journalism from Emerson College. She is now based in LA.
FX's Grotesquerie has reached a chaotic season 1 finale, setting up a few storylines for season 2. After a late-season twist revealed that Niecy Nash-Betts' Detective Lois Tryon dreamed up the titular serial killer's murder in a nightmare coma sequence, the remaining episodes saw Lois attempting to decipher what her dreams were trying to tell her about the people present in her waking life.
Lois immediately turns to Dr. Whitcomb and Dr. Mayhew as suspects, believing that one of them is abusing their access to her medical records and torturing her by recreating the horrific crimes. However, Whitcomb reveals that Lois' husband, Marshall Tryon , also had access to her files, suddenly implicating him. Lois had recently served Marshall divorce papers, and his girlfriend Redd broke up with him.
✕ Remove Ads As the camera pans to the full Last Supper murder scene with Dr. Mayhew crucified as a Christ-like figure, it is revealed that among the victims is the very woman who accused Marshall of assault. Marshall's victim complex coupled with his violent wishes for Lois' death make him a viable suspect as the copycat killer after Lois.
✕ Remove Ads Ed's misogynistic views are applauded and Marshall agrees with them. Prior to his death, Charlie is also seen in the meeting. Charlie additionally reveals to Lois that Marshall asked him to pull the plug on her life support and kill her, but he denied his request. It is possible that the men's group turned on Charlie for sparing Lois' life, and the murders are a group effort rooted in misogyny, which will be revealed in season 2.
✕ Remove Ads With Lois confirmed to be awake and back to being an active detective in this series of crimes literally ripped from her nightmares, Grotesquerie season 2 can finally shed light on the identity of the killer. A second season could also continue to provide a window into the reality of Lois' troubled past, as previously, her backstory was only discussed in the dream state.
1 Redd and Lois Are Now On The Same Side Both Women Have Left Marshall Lois made peace with Marshall's long-standing relationship with Redd, and even thanked her for"putting up" with him and taking care of him while Lois struggled with sobriety. Now that Redd has also seen Marshall for who he really is – a misogynist and sex addict who uses philosophy and religion to justify himself – Lois and Redd will soon find themselves fighting against Marshall on the same side.
