American Horror Story: Freak Show will feature a slew of returning cast members, but only one will revive her role from another installment of the show!

American Horror Story has brought to life many memorable characters over the course of three seasons. There was the monstrous Bloody Face, the Rubber Man, and most recently, the Supreme. But none of them struck a chord with audiences quiet like the lovable Briarcliff patient Pepper from Asylum.

As American Horror Story gears up to launch its fourth installment on October 8, the series’ choice to follow a freak show, it would be remiss of the creators to shy away from the opportunity to revive the character.

Luckily, EW confirms today with an image that fans can expect to see Pepper back on their screens this fall. Below, the photo features actress Naomi Grossman in her full Pepper makeup holding fellow co-star Jyoti Amge.

The events of Freak Show take place approximately 12 years before the start of American Horror Story‘s mental institution installment. It would not be uncommon for Jessica Lange’s Elsa Mars to travel around to mental hospitals and offer to take on the responsibilities of the patients for profit. Elsa Mars’ intention has a more matronly tone to it as Murphy explains,

What Elsa has done for 20 years is she goes around to hospitals and jails and rescues these ‘freak’ circus performers who are going to be shipped away to asylums and she signs the waivers and she becomes their guardians.

We may not know the fate of anyone else in the series thus far, but fans can take comfort knowing that Pepper will make it out alive. (That is until she is accused of a violent crime and sent away to Briarcliff where she lives until her death in 1966.)

Now, may we suggest Ryan Murphy working in Dr. Oliver Thredson finishing his PhD in Jupiter, Florida and get Zachary Quinto back into the mix!

American Horror Story returns Wednesday, October 8 at 10:00 p.m. ET on FX
