The conjoined twins unsurely agree and join the rankings of other American freaks such as Jimmy Darling, a boy with syndactyly, played by Evan Peters, and his mother, Ethel Darling, a bearded lady, played by Kathy Bates. During the night of Bette and Dot Tattler’s arrival, a detective shows up and begins questioning the twins, before placing them under arrest for the murder of their mother.
