In an interesting interview Ryan Murphy discusses next week’s episode where we will finally learn the identity of the man in the rubber suit! He also talks about the shows finale a little bit. Although we really don’t want this season to come to an end yet! In Halloween, Part 1 we saw that the rubber suit man was actually responsible for Zachary Quinto character’s death. In the next episode we will learn more about the strange connection between the two characters.

Entertainment Weekly writes:

And next week is the Rubber Man reveal right?
Yeah. Next week is great because it has several things that I’m proud of. I think it’s award-winning work from Connie Britton because she has to play paranoia. We reveal 100 percent the identity of the Rubber Man. We also show people how the Rubber Man came to be. You see, Where did the costume come from? Who is it? Why are they doing that? What is the Rubber Man’s goal? It’s also a great episode for Zach Quinto, who’s amazing in it.

So Rubber Man’s origins involve the gay couple?
Yes, in an interesting way. Absolutely yes.

Is Zach in a flashback?
Yes. The interesting thing about the next episode is it’s structured with many more flashbacks than we’ve done. The next episode we move back and forth in four different time periods.

Are we gonna see Hayden again?
Oh yeah. Heavy. She’s in the next episode too.

This episode sounds like quite the AHS fandango.
“Rubber Man” is I think by far my favorite episode. I think it’s very psychological and I think one of the things about the house is that it’s always conspired to help people or drive them crazy. In the next episode, it kinda does both. Suffice to say, there are several characters in the next episode who want that baby and will do anything to get it.

Once we figure out who Rubber Man is, will we understand what Vivien has inside her?
Yes.

Have you all shot the finale yet?
We’re shooting as we speak.

Do you feel good about it?
Yeah. I’m very proud of it. I think it’s very satisfying and also deeply unsettling. It’s both terrifyingly bleak and oddly uplifting. I think when people see it, it will be clear what the second season will be about. I hope so anyway.

What are your theories on the man in the rubber suit?
