Call me a simple gay, but I sure am a sucker for a really good love triangle.

After “Foxfire,” Annette was pushed aside and ignored. But she kept working — detours and frustrations included — and now she’s back with a new film and ready to move beyond for-hire jobs to direct the personal, artful work she should have been making for decades.

Lena rejoins Team Super as Kara leads the charge to stop Lex once and for all. Plus, Alex gets her superhero name!

You can scroll through my top ten shows and know exactly who I am and who I’ve been — a consistently queer, formerly goth, recovering musical theater nerd with a penchant for dry humor and scary women. Sharing this list is like showing you my diary if all my love poems were about Sandra Oh.

Plus: A trailer for The Bold Type’s third season, someone finally said “I’m gay” on the Disney Channel, Sandra Oh has some thoughts on Villanelle and Eve’s post-stabbing relationship, Lady Gaga and Janelle Monáe have a mutual love, and more!

Plus: All American continues to showcase some of the best queer storytelling on TV, HTGAWM threatens Tegan’s life, Tig Notatro: Space Butch is back on Star Trek, Siren is getting closer to gay mermaids, and Legacies unburies a gay.

Can you even believe this list has 68 (!!) upcoming 2019 queer YA books? WOW. No matter what kind of LGBT YA you’re into, there is something on this list for you.

Here’s your in-depth look at all the numbers on lesbian, bisexual and queer television representation in 2018. Spoiler alert: it got better?

Holly jolly, Dearest.

Plus: The best/gayest episode of All American yet, gayness abounds on Charmed, what-the-fuckery is here to stay on The Purge, a new bisexual character on Chicago Fire, Chris decides love isn’t a lie on S.W.A.T. and more!

In an episode laden with all-too-relevant metaphors, Alex, Kara, Lena, and Nia all deal with the recent anti-alien sentiments causing unrest in National City in different ways.

Here’s how we handle TV that lets us down, the shows we think successfully turned it around, and our ultimate dealbreakers.

Also: Tig Notaro is heading to deep space, lesbian wrestler Sonya Deville made her WWE debut, Jay-Z opened up about his mom coming out, Sandra Oh’s new show is gay and she is so great, and Cynthia Nixon is cashing in on “unqualified lesbianism.”

Here’s part two of the first round of QUEER KISSING MARCH MADNESS!

Of all the ways that the Pierce’s mutual secret-identity reveal was going to come about, I definitely never expected a raw knuckle superhero fight.

Lena sets out with Kara to take down Edge once and for all while Alex tries to figure out the cause of Sam’s blackouts.

Oh did you think there wouldn’t be a chicken in here? WRONG.

Scream Queen, Grey’s Anatomy, Empie, Steven Universe, Carmilla, Arrow, Rosewood, Grandfathered, and so much more!

respect this, because every New Orleans native knows that Popeye’s is the shit. I could so go for a biscuit right now. But back to the chicken!

A customer is giving Queenie shit about skimping on chicken, and in the process calls her fat.

[caption id="attachment_200812" align="aligncenter" width="640"] She came all the way from LA and she’s not even singing? Fuck this show[/caption]

Queenie responds by sticking her arm in the deep fryer, causing the customer’s arm to burn.

Back to morning share! That’s how Cordelia discovered Queenie and brought her to Miss Robichaux’s.

[caption id="attachment_200814" align="aligncenter" width="640"] I think you found your root.[/caption]

Queenie was on the fence about the whole thing, seeing as she’d only ever seen white witches portrayed in the media.

[caption id="attachment_200791" align="aligncenter" width="640"] I would so watch “Sabrina the Teenage Cracker.”[/caption]

This is also proof that witch diversity and visibility matters, and Queenie has since learned that she is an heir to Tituba, a Salem house slave who was the first woman accused of witchcraft in Salem.

[caption id="attachment_200790" align="aligncenter" width="640"] So this is what they call white privilege?[/caption]

All witches are connected, but Madison snarkily suggests they sing Kumbayaa and Queenie threatens to eat her.

[caption id="attachment_200817" align="aligncenter" width="640"] P-R-I…fuck all you bitches[/caption]

If all Gabourey Sidibe gets to do on this show is make/be subjected to fat jokes, I am going to through Ryan Murphy down a well.

This bitchcraft is interrupted by two male cops with want to question Zoe and Madison about the frat party and the bus crash.

[caption id="attachment_200788" align="aligncenter" width="640"] A little broke down, because when I they knocked I thought they were the candy men[/caption]

Relentessly interrogating teenage girls? These guys must have transferred from Rosewood PD.

[caption id="attachment_200818" align="aligncenter" width="640"] We know you girls are pretty and little. But are you liars?[/caption] [caption id="attachment_200787" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Got a Secret. Can you keep it?[/caption]

In typical victim-blaming fashion, they accuse Madison of wanting to hurt the boys. Cordelia quickly jumps to the girls’ defense, and Madison tells them that she’s sober and well behaved…except for vodka. I like your style, Madison.

[caption id="attachment_200820" align="aligncenter" width="640"] I don’t think my father, the inventor of toaster strudel, would appreciate these accusations[/caption]

They also bust Zoe for visiting the frat bro in the hospital and killing him there, connecting it with the last boy she killed. Zoe folds like a paper bag and immediately confesses the gang rape, the about a nice warm glass of shut the hell up? ]

Fiona then spits into two glasses of water RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM and offers them to the cops. The cops are already hypnotized by her, and drink the water, considering it’s the closest they’ll ever get to tasting the inside of her mouth.

[AHS302-00111.jpg – Anything but backwash! ]

[AHS302-00112.jpg – You’ll drink it and like it ]

Fiona takes their evidence and makes them forget all about the case. Zoe and Madison are impressed, while Cordelia seems mildly annoyed.

Madison and Zoe are fighting in their room when Fiona swans in and uses her magic to throw them against the wall.

[AHS302-00117.jpg – I brought ass whooping and lollipops]

[AHS302-00118.jpg – and I’m all out of lollipops! ]

I wish Fiona would use her magic to throw me against the wall, AM I RIGHT LADIES? She reminds them about the rules of Witch Club: don’t talk about it, and support each other. It’s witches vs. the world, and the girls need to get on board.

[AHS302-00125.jpg – And if I ever find your sex toys in the sink again, I’m confiscating them! ]

[AHS302-00124.jpg – Even my RodeOh?]

Fiona singles out Zoe as the weakest link, and tells her that the only thing to fear is Fiona herself.

[AHS302-00127.jpg – And if you complain one more time, your vagina won’t be the only thing around here killing people! ]

[AHS302-00126.jpgnkenKyle comes alive and attacks him. He’s alive!

[AHS302-00240.jpg – FrankenKyle attack!]

Down in the Ninth Ward, Fiona is getting her hair did. Why? Because this shop belongs to Marie Laveau, who is alive and rocking braids and leopard print turtleneck! Guess someone else sipped the immortality potion.

[AHS302-00250.jpg – This is how you fierce]

What’s happening with the other two witches at the school? Nan is distracted by LaLaurie’;s loud thoughts and unties her.

[AHS302-00261.jpg – Get out now, you loud thinking bitch!]

Queenie sees this shit go down but before she can stop it, LaLaurie calls her a slave and clubs her with a candelabra.

[AHS302-00264.jpg – It was the racist, in the bedroom, with the candlestick]

Back to the beauty shop with Fiona and Marie. Fiona makes a “black don’t crack” joke about Marie, which is admittedlyfunny because she’s 200 years old and still looks fierce. Marie fires back that Fiona wipes her ass with diamonds (ouch!) and demands to know what she wants.

[AHS302-00266.jpg – I want bangs that I don’t have to style, why is that so hard?]

Turns out, there’s been a witch race war a brewin’ since the days of Tituba. The different tribes have been battling for centuries, and Marie accuses white witches of stealing magic from African shamans. Apparently Tituba shared these secrets with the Salem girls, who then turned on her. Fiona insults her, which is not a smart thing to do considering Marie is holding a straightening iron so close to her face.

[AHS302-00271.jpg – Not the money maker!]

Fiona wants some of Marie’s five hour immortality drink, but Marie refuses. She wouldn’t share it if Fiona offered her a unicorn that shits hundies. This is not a joke, Angela Bassett says this and it’s amazing.

[AHS302-00282.jpg – Okay, what about a narwhal that poops emeralds?]

And she has a point: why would Marie want LaLaurie? She can’t kill her. Wouldn’t she just re-bury her? Nice try Fiona. Fiona leaves, but not before lighting some weaves on fire. Witches out!

[AHS302-00286.jpg – Not the wigs!]

Back in the green house, Cordelia is putting together a spell to make a magic baby.

[AHS302-00297.jpg – Let’s go do it hetero-style!]

She has freaky sex with her husband in a ring of fire.

[AHS302-00318.jpg – This time you pretend to be Tara, and I’ll pretend to be Willow]

Snakes hatch from eggs and crawl on them. They stab each other in the chest with needles. You know, typical married sex.

Back at the morgue, Zoe steals the morgue guy’s car and drives off with FrankenKyle, who is understandably freaking the fuck out.

[AHS302-00325.jpg – But you love taking the freeway!]

Suddenly, Misty Day pops up from the backseat like she’s in a ghost story or something. Boo!

[AHS302-00331.jpg – The witch is calling from inside the car]

Misty takes them to the gator shack, cranks up the Fleetwood, and starts slapping mud on FrankenKyle’s wounds.

[AHS302-00337.jpg – Don’t worry, you get used to the smell]

She tells Zoe that Louisiana swamp mud has healing properties what with the Spanish moss and the alligator poops. It even healed her when she was burned alive! Guys, I’m not a medical doctor, but DON’T SMEAR SWAMP MUD ON YOUR OPEN WOUNDS. You have been warned.

[AHS302-00346.jpg – It’s so lonely on this twin bed. Why don’t you join me?]

Turns out Misty felt Zoe’s magic calling to her (hey girl hey) and invites her to sit beside her on a bed and deconstruct Fleetwood Mac lyrics.

[AHS302-00352.jpg – You should know, my vagina is a killer]

[AHS302-00351.jpg – And I can’t die! Bring that killer vag over here!]

If I had a dime for every time this happened to me, I’d have a lot of dimes, y’all. Zoe, who would rather make out with a muddy monster man than the gorgeous Lily Rabe, has to go back to school, but promises to come visit them.

[AHS302-00357.jpg – Now kiss]

In the meantime, Misty will take care of FrankenKyle and play the Rumors album on a loop.

[AHS302-00360.jpg – Straight girl problems]

Marie Laveau is in the beauty shop, talking to her chained up Minotaur man. So she can give him immortality but still can’t take the fucking bull head off? Okay, fine, whatever.

[AHS302-00366.jpg – bull in a beauty shop]

In the streets of NOLA, Fiona finds LaLaurie sitting on a bench. Turns out being stuck in a box for 200 years and finding out your home is now a spooky museum is a total bummer.

[AHS302-00373.jpg – We’ll get you some heels, a black dress, and you’ll fit right in]

Fiona rightly tells her she deserves it, but LaLaurie is still heartbroken over the death her daughters…eve the ugly one. She for real says this.

[AHS302-00384.jpg – My daughter has the cheek bones of a Grecian statue, so I can’t relate. But kids, am I right?]

Also, she was gonna kill her husband anyway, so no big. She asks Fiona if she can kill her, Fiona will check her schedule. She brings LaLaurie back home and they walk the empty streets together.

[AHS302-00390.jpg – this is the beginning of beautiful friendship…of murder]

Next time on AHS: LaLaurie is the new maid! Madison wants to fuck the neighbor! Patti Lupone!
