"Flicker" is the seventh episode of the fifth season of the anthology television series American Horror Story. It aired on November 18, 2015, on the cable network FX. This episode was written by Crystal Liu and directed by Michael Goi.
In a flashback to 1925, the human Elizabeth is seduced by the actor Rudolph Valentino and his wife Natacha Rambova. Valentino dies and Elizabeth marries, only to run into the "dead" Valentino resurrected as a vampire. Valentino and Natacha subsequently turn Elizabeth into a vampire as well.
In the present, Detective Lowe breaks into the restricted room 153, finding a young girl called Wren. She tells him she helped the Ten Commandments Killer during the murders, and John tells her that it was not her fault. In 1986, her father abandoned her in front of the Hotel Cortez, and Elizabeth turned her. She says that if John finds a way to get her out, she will take him to the killer.
Valentino and Natacha are revealed to have been trapped inside the hotel ever since turning Elizabeth. March and Hazel prepare a dinner for Elizabeth, who has agreed to dine with him at least once per month. She tells him her plans to marry Drake. She reveals Drake as her new love, but March clarifies that Elizabeth was never in love with him, hence he trapped Valentino and Natacha inside the sealed hallway. Regenerated, Valentino and Natacha check out of the hotel. Elsewhere, Wren and John escape the hospital. She asks if he intends to kill the killer, receiving a positive answer. She responds by saying that she likes him, before running into oncoming traffic and being hit by a truck.
