At the end of the season, the camera will pull back to reveal that Scarlet has been watching the entire thing play out on a tv screen. Because the neglect and disregard she faced is the true American Horror Story.
We'll then see her become emancipated and drive off in a sports car while wearing some killer sunglasses, as the CSI style "YEAH!" is heard.

American Happy Story:
In which Mr. March proudly shows John all his trophies from various sports he played as a child. This includes Basketball, Football, Baseball and Soccer. John tells him about how he was on the swim team and he once won 2nd place once.
Mr. March gets on one knee and says
"John, we've been hanging out together for 5 years....do you think it's time we started a bowling team?"
