\"Chanel<\/a>

Chanel is going to make it her passion to destroy Zayday’s reputation.<\/p><\/div>\n

Last night\u2019s episode of Scream Queens<\/em> kicked off its three week Halloween event. This may seem redundant with a show as gory as Scream Queens<\/em>; as my boyfriend said, \u201cI feel like it\u2019s just a Halloween show.\u201d Nevertheless, they managed to get even more into the spirit of the best holiday ever.<\/p>\n

Apparently, I\u2019m not the only one whose favorite holiday is Halloween. How could I not expect Chanel Number One to share in my love of the spooky season?<\/p>\n

In a scene that clearly pokes fun at Taylor Swift and her recent celebration of \u201cSwiftmas,\u201d we learn that Chanel celebrates Halloween by bestowing her biggest fans with rotting pumpkins and dismembered limbs in celebration of, what she calls, Chaneloween.<\/p>\n

It almost doesn\u2019t seem fair to the rest of the Scream Queens <\/em>cast, giving Emma Roberts such great moments as Chaneloween and her later scene where she sharpens knives at 3 am. Luckily, the other regulars are hilarious in their own right and they manage to hold their own.<\/p>\n

In fact, Daniel Boneta actually managed to steal the show away from Roberts within the first ten minutes with his Matthew McConaughey impression. Pretty impressive for someone whose career started out in telenovelas. The only thing he didn\u2019t do was drive off in a Lincoln.<\/p>\n

Boneta\u2019s character, Pete,\u00a0is still investigating the people behind the death of tub-girl with Grace. They\u00a0decide to take their lead to the only person who still has ties to that night.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how they find Mandy, one of the Kappa sisters who left tub-girl to die. Dressed in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days<\/em> costumes, the two infiltrate Mandy\u2019s trailer and get answers to some vital questions \u2013 most importantly that the baby born in Kappa house was a girl.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fun scene for Pete and Grace shippers, especially since Pete clearly got way into his couples\u2019 costume character.<\/p>\n

Two other possible couples also join their ranks this episode: Zayday and Earl Grey, who I\u2019m officially rooting for, and Chanel Number Six (aka Hester) and Chad, who are clearly perfect for each other with their shared love of all things morbid.<\/p>\n

Speaking of death, this episode had a surprisingly low death count, especially compared to the past few weeks. This of course meant that, for the first time, the most bizarrely hilarious scene didn\u2019t also involve the tragic death of a character.<\/p>\n

Instead, in a strange bout of female empowerment, Chanel Number One leads her Scream Queens <\/em>minions in a vendetta against cat-calling frat guys. It was everything I didn\u2019t know I needed in girl-power scene, and next time I\u2019m beating up frat guys I will definitely quote Hester when she says, \u201cyou wanna see me smile? Well I\u2019m smiling!\u201d Followed by a swift kick to the crotch.<\/p>\n

This episode also marked the first time I felt scared while watching Scream Queens<\/em>. Granted, I\u2019m a giant baby when it comes to scary things. But the scene where trailer park Mandy is brutally murdered, as well as Hester and Chad\u2019s discovery of all the missing bodies in Zayday\u2019s haunted house, definitely had me on edge.<\/p>\n

Though we were already given a bunch of Scream Queens <\/em>answers this week, I\u2019m sure the writers aren\u2019t done yet. Hopefully we keep getting mild scares and plenty of info as we approach Chaneloween.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
