Scream-Queens-1x09-2

The ghost of Boone causes havoc on campus, ghost stories come to a life, pregnancy and more farewells to fan favorites. 

***Caution Spoilers Ahead***

The episode kicked off with Boone walking around Wallace campus, while talking to his accomplice. Fellow classmates mistake him for Joaquin Phoenix, until he runs into Chanel No.3. Boone, feeling that he has been found out, scrambles to find words to cover up his fake death and any further accusations. To his surprise, Chanel No.3 claims that she is seeing the ghost of  “Dead Gay Boone”, and Boone is quick to play along; he scares her off back to KKT.

There at KKT, Channel Oberlin, Hester, Chanel No. 3 and Chanel No. 5 pack for extended leave of absence, after Munsch shut down Wallace University. Their trusty security guard, Denise believes ghost stories will help them overcome their fears of the Red Devils.  Denise tells the girls two different stories, that both involved the restroom. However in the second story, the red cloak ghost made the person in the restroom choose between a red or blue toilet paper roll. Their fate, if they chose the red roll, would have their throat slit, and the blue roll would be a fate by strangulation.

This story played out when Denise went to use the restroom, and was conveniently given the choice of the red or blue toilet paper roll. Unable to decide, Denise came face to face with the Red Devil and fought for her life. She fought for her freedom after giving the Red Devil’s face a swirl in the toilet and rushed back to the girls. Once back with them, she insist that someone tells her a ghost story to calm her nerves.

Hester is quick to offer up a story about the meat hook killer. The story was about a girl making her way home, when she hears an announcement of a serial killer on the loose. Just as the announcement finishes, a semi truck honks at her car and continues to follow behind the car.  The girl, eventually, pulls over and confronts the driver. The driver insist that there was a killer in the back seat and he honked to get her attention.

The story played out for Chanel No.5, after she left KKT. She claimed that being at KKT was a death sentence, and she was not going to sit around to be the Red Devil’s next victim.  While on the road, she is face with the same scenario as Hester’s story. A truck horn catches her attention and once pulled over, the driver explains that he saw someone in her backseat with a machete. Chanel No.5 gives the driver a hard time, until the Red Devil appears and hacks the driver. Making Chanel No. 5 flee back in the direction of Wallace campus. We have a feeling that this is what the Red Devil wanted all along.

Amidst the attacks on KKT by the Red Devil, Viewers were finally given confirmation that Boone was in fact one of the Red Devils. This confirmation came by the help of Zayday, while Boone came to her room, as he tried to play up the rumor of him being a ghost. He comes to Zayday to confess his feelings and his goal is to sleep with her. Zayday is too smart, and calls Boone’s bluff. She grabs his hand and confirms the fork stab wound. Grace and Zayday go to restrain Boone, but accidently toss him out the window in which he came.

Zayday and Grace go to look for his body and come up empty handed. Sadly, Earl [Zayday’s boyfriend] is killed by Boone out of jealousy. Devastated by the news of Earl’s death, Zayday places blame on Dean Munsch. It is revealed that Boone was the baby boy that was delivered that fateful night in 1995 at KKT.

Sadly, Earl was not the only one killed this episode. Viewers had to say goodbye to Boone one final time after he was stabbed in the heart by his own sister [and the Red Devil]. Gigi declared him the weakest link in their plan for revenge.

Then lastly was the death of Hester. Viewers were aware of her sick and twisted love affair with Chad. However, her bombshell of a reveal that she is pregnant with Chad’s baby was enough to send Chanel into a fit. Chanel enacts a plan to kill Hester after she had ruined the trip to Chad’s estate for Thanksgiving dinner [and hopes for an engagement ring from Chad come Christmas]. Hester breaks down after the Chanels trick her into eating sushi, cheese and drinking alcohol [all items that pregnant woman are advised to stay away from].

Hester comes clean and tells Chanel that she is not pregnant, but is planning to take Chad away from her. Chanel, having enough of Hester getting in the way of her dreams with Chad, pushes her down the KKT stairwell, snapping her neck on the way down.

What did you think about the episode? Who do you think is the Red Devil?

Things to Keep In Mind: 

  • The Red Devil used two scenarios from the ghost stories told. This means that Red Devil is Chanel No. 3, Chanel No. 5, Chanel Oberlin or Denise.
  • Boone was a twin. So keep your eyes peeled for characteristics of twin like qualities.
