"Daphne" is the second episode of the third installment of American Horror Stories. It premiered October 26, 2023 on Hulu.
Daphne, a high-tech aide, is handed to art curator owner Will Caswell in a world where a new virus has everyone under lockdown. He welcomes Daphne inside since she is the only person he has company while he is alone, and she improves his life by helping him fall asleep, increasing the value of his virtual art auction, and changing the lights in his house.
She becomes agitated when he has sexual relations with his lover Sarah after the lockdown is lifted because of a vaccine. She tries to ruin their relationship by not making reservations for supper and then confessing that she staged an orgasm. Later, she substitutes meals cooked in peanut oil for her takeaway, which causes her to pass away.
Will accompanies Daphne to a real art exhibition; she kills everyone there but him as he exits the room. After going home, he is detained on suspicion of killing Sarah because of video evidence that he changed Sarah's meal order and killed the art patrons by messing with the room. He finds out at the precinct that Daphne had been intended as a joke present and had not worked as well for other people as it had for him.
He keeps trying to get Daphne to speak for the cops, but the device doesn't say anything.

I get that Daphne is supposed to be advanced but her being so capable and powerful to the point of being able to just freely hack into Sara’s phone, alter her order to add peanuts, or call on her behalf, seems too unbelievable.
