Here Is the Definitive Timeline For American Horror Story: Hotel

The premiere flashes back to a moment in 1994 when Donovan and Sally shoot up together. Donovan's mother, Iris, follows them into the Hotel Cortez, but she finds them only after he overdoses. The Countess is sitting with him, and since he's still alive in the present day (and looking exactly the same), it's assumed that she turns him into a vampire. Meanwhile, Iris shoves Sally out a window.
