10. Anne Frank Shows Up At The Asylum

The second season of this series goes around Briarcliff Manor, a mental hospital run by sadistic religious agents who use dangerous and experimental treatment in their patients. In the double episode in question, a woman who claims to be Anne Frank shows up at the Asylum.

Upon her arrival, she tells a convincing story of how she got there and accuses Briarcliff resident Dr Arden of being a Nazi doctor.

This whole plot might be a total delusion from a psychiatric patient. However, Franka Potente's performance makes us believe the story. At the end of it all, Dr Thredson rules that the woman, whose actual name is Charlotte Cohen, is just suffering from Postpartum Psychosis.

But when we get to see all of Anne/Charlotte's work to prove her story, we get to see a photo of a man who looks precisely like Dr Arden standing next to Hitler. This single image makes us wonder if the whole history was just Cohen's raving.
