Episode 4 of FX’s FEUD: Capote Vs. The Swans — the second installment in Ryan Murphy’s FEUD anthology — ended with a heartbreaking dance between Babe and Bill Paley followed by a tribute to the late, great Treat Williams. This week, Episode 5 takes us to November 1975 to revisit the Esquire article that started it all.

Based on Laurence Leamer’s bestselling book Capote’s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era, FEUD Season 2 follows writer Truman Capote (Tom Hollander) and his once tight-knit group of friends and socialites, “the swans.” After Capote sparks an epic feud by publishing damning personal details of his pals Barbara “Babe” Paley (Naomi Watts), Slim Keith (Diane Lane), C.Z. Guest (Chloë Sevigny), and Lee Radziwill’s (Calista Flockhart) in the aforementioned article, we witness the intense aftermath of their fallout.
