So there’s a lot of sex. There’s a lot of sexual fantasy. There’s a doctor who had an affair with a student, and then they moved into a haunted house, and apparently, he is treating a murder victim for psychological issues. I guess. The woman he was “treating” was shown as being murdered several decades before by a rapist dentist who gases her to death. And it has Jessica Lange, and I have no idea what she’s doing in there, other than that she’s an abusive bitch who has a kid she keeps in the basement (of the same haunted house?) WTF is going on here? ---

What are you really looking for here? You can go to the wikia or [tv.com](http://tv.com) for a plot or episode description. Did you miss some episodes or are caught up and still confused? The second to last episode spelled things out pretty explicitly. What do you want to know? The man cheated on his wife after she miscarried. They moved with their teen to this house for a fresh start. The house has a long history of murders, and anyone who dies there is stuck there as a ghost, but a ghost who can choose to be seen and can touch things. Constance used to live there but now lives next door. Her husband, maid, and two of her kids died in the house, one of whom was part of a school shooting. Hes dating the daughter and getting therapy for the Dad. He also secretly had sex with the wife, because the original woman of the house wants to steal a baby. ---
