Here’s the official synopsis for episode eight “Creator/Destroyer” from FX

A young Andrew Cunanan struggles with his oppressive father as a young Gianni Versace becomes a designer.

The episode was written by Tom Rob Smith and Maggie Cohn; Directed by Matt Bomer.

While Versace is learning all about working hard, Cunanan is being taught that he deserves it all, simply because he’s “special.” We’ll see where Cunanan learned to be so good at coming up with tall tales, but we’ll also see that not everything Cunanan has shared with others is a lie as we initially thought.

“Creator/Destroyer” also shows the first time Cunanan met Lizzie, and, as it turns out, Cunanan has been into older man for a long while — and Versace!

  • When you feel special, success will follow.
  • Can we only ever speak in secrets?
  • A man has accused you of tricking his grandmother to transfer her life savings.
