\"Sam<\/a>

Sam betrays Chanel #3 by sharing her deepest secret.<\/p><\/div>\n

Though I was disappointed last week with Scream Queens<\/em>, this week\u2019s episode quickly redeemed itself. In fact, it may have been my favorite episode yet.<\/p>\n

It was just the right amount of ridiculous and had plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. The Dickies hosted an intervention for Chad, in which they told him he had to \u201cstop boning so many old chicks.\u201d This led Chad to profess his sort of love to Chanel and finally agree to take their relationship to the next level, at least for the \u201camount of time he deems acceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Kappas, led by Zayday, also had a sleepover in an effort to sniff out the Red Devil. Amidst the fact that they\u2019re trapped in their own house by the killer himself, they proceed to play truth or dare \u2013 you know, as you do in a time of crisis. Jennifer the candle vlogger, who was my favorite character this episode, was the only person to see the flawed logic in this, pointing out that the killer would clearly pick truth and then lie. (Jennifer also served as the voice of reason later in the episode when she told the chief detective in charge of finding the Devil what we\u2019ve all been thinking, \u201cyou are probably the worst cop ever.\u201d)<\/p>\n

But, alas, the voice of reason is always doomed to be ignored, as none of the Kappas or Dickies were able to comprehend how someone could lie in a game of truth or dare; \u201cit\u2019s not called truth, dare, or lie,\u201d as Chad said.<\/p>\n

One thing that playing sleepover games did achieve, however, was the long-teased kiss between Chanel Number Three and pledge Sam. The kiss caused Number Three to decide that she wasn\u2019t a lesbian, but instead was \u201cin love with love\u201d regardless of the gender. It\u2019s things like this, and the previous girl-power episode, that set Scream Queens<\/em> apart; the fact that, among the ridiculous plot lines and absurd dialogue, they can actually touch on important messages while still making it entertaining. Of course, Number Three then proceeded to dare Sam to go down to the secrets-cellar, where she was later suffocated by the Red Devil, but that\u2019s neither here nor there.<\/p>\n

After Sam\u2019s death I realized that I should have been keeping track of all the different ways that the Red Devil commits his murders. There\u2019s a new murder weapon practically every time. There\u2019s been a classic stabbing, a slice in half with a chainsaw, and a lawnmower incident, and this episode we saw the use of an ax, a plastic bag, and a nail gun. While we could possibly assess this\u00a0to being\u00a0a writing decision to make each new murder more bizarre than the last, maybe we should actually be looking to them as clues as to who is\u00a0behind the devil mask.<\/p>\n

As we learned this episode, at least one of the Red Devils (remember, there are two, \u201cdos diablos!\u201d) isn\u2019t a Kappa. Primarily all of the Kappas were together at the time of each murder this episode, which means it\u2019s someone outside of the house. We also saw the Devil use a golf swing to chop Caulfield\u2019s head off. Now who do we know that plays golf? Boone; we saw him play golf with Chad during the pilot episode. And it just so happens that Boone faked his death with the help of the Red Devil, only to never be seen again. Sounds pretty suspicious.<\/p>\n

We already know that Gigi is, at least, involved with the Red Devil, if not one of them, so it\u2019ll be interesting to learn the story between her and Boone\u2019s alliance. Given that my theory is right, of course. While I was a bit worried last episode with how quickly we were being given information, this episode I realized that we still have so much to find out. Unfortunately, we\u2019re going to have to wait until after the World Series, because Scream Queens<\/em> isn\u2019t returning until November 3. In the words of my boyfriend, \u201cbaseball ruins everything.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
