Scream Queens: Howling-Ween
Chanel Oberlin sent to jail, Zayday still missing, hook ups and new revelations about the ‘Red Devil’
We have survived the two part Scream Queen Halloween special, but can we survive the rest of the season?
The episode kicked off with Chanel Chamberlin planning out her ‘Pumpkin Patch’ for ‘black hairy tongue’ syndrome: complete with a row jack-o-lanterns, a corn maze, champagne fountains and the Chanels dressing up as wives of fallen presidents.
After a Chanels quarrel about costume assignments, Chanel #5 had enough, throwing a fit after being assigned fallen president’s wife Mary Todd Lincoln. She clearly wanted to be Jackie Kennedy, but that has already been claimed by none other than the original Chanel.
The ‘Pumpkin Patch’ is canceled by Dean Munsch after the disappearance of Zayday. Chad makes a confusing and typical jock guy speech to save the ‘Pumpkin Patch,’ which was not enough to save Chanel’s beloved Halloween party. Chanel, never one to take no for an answer, begins to look for a loop hole in Dean Munch’s ruling, deciding to keep her ‘Pumpkin Patch’ part and hold it at 12:01 a.m on November 1st.
Zayday is being held captive by the ‘Red Devil’ in the basement of the ‘Red Devil’ lair. We get a glimpse of the lair that reveals numerous clues, that may have been hidden to some. We see sewing machines, male and female body mannequins. This leads me back to my theory about two ‘Red Devils’ one being male the other female. While one is clearly the master mind, the second ‘Red Devil’ is like an assistant.
Later in the episode we see Gigi with Denise as they find the ‘Red Devil’ lair, after using GPS tracking on Zayday’s phone. Gigi tasers the ‘Red Devil’ in the neck, and Denise runs to get the group [Grace, Wes and Pete]. When the group returns, the “Red Devil’ is no where to be found. Gigi claims she got hit in the head with a bat and the ‘Red Devil’ had escaped.
I was immediately suspicious of Gigi, how the ‘Red Devil’ left her intact and showed little interest with her when she was vulnerable in the dark. My suspicion was right: Gigi at the end of the episode came face to face with the ‘Red Devil’ again. This time she talks with the masked slasher, “You’re late” she says with a stern face. She goes on to say, “The situation that happened in the cellar got out of hand,” and instructed the ‘Red Devil’ that he needs to go. Who is he?
Leading back to my theory that the second masked devil is beginning to spoil the plan. Gigi is working with the ‘Red Devil’, which was expected after the previous episode when she was revealed as being the wailing woman that lived in the abandon house on shady lane. So my thoughts are that the second devil is a male. I still think Boone has a place in the hand of the ‘Red Devil’s’ work.
With the reveal at the end of the episode, lets not forget KKT business. Chanel #6 is running the group of Chanel pets, pitting Chanel #5 against Chanel Oberlin and getting the sisters at KKT to vote for Zayday. Chanel served minimal jail time after an anonymous tip suggested that she killed Bean. Chanel Oberlin was arrested during a test on campus. She later makes bail, which was posted by Chanel #3 and her sisters at KKT. The jail scene was one of my favorites, with an obvious spoof on ‘Orange is the New Black’ and Chanel Oberlin on her sarcastic game.
What are your thoughts on Gigi? Being that the Red Devil is female, who do you think is behind the mask?
