The Chanels contact Number Two beyond the grave.<\/p><\/div>\n

If you\u2019re like me, you spent last Tuesday from 9 to 10 pm moping around your house, mourning the loss of a Scream Queens<\/em> episode to the World Series. Thankfully, last night\u2019s\u00a0installment had enough mystery and clues that it (almost) made up for last week\u2019s lack of furry coats and murder.<\/p>\n

In a way of apology the writers brought back Daniel Boneta\u2019s scary good Matthew McConaughey impression, as well as another Nancy Drew reference done by Emma Roberts. Roberts starred as Nancy Drew in 2007, for those of you who blocked that movie out. Detective Incompetence, real name Chisolm, also returns with great lines such as, \u201cand I guess all that killing, and dismembering, and pretending that it wasn\u2019t her made her hungry, but not that hungry.\u201d What a great observation.<\/p>\n

The most anticipated return this Scream Queens <\/em>episode, however, was that of Ariana Grande\u2019s. While I could have survived without another cameo, Grande has a giant fan base, which I\u2019m sure was dying for another glimpse at her, dead or alive. Chanel Number Two came back from the grave as a ghost (probably?) to apologize to Chanel and also warn her that the other Chanels were planning to murder her.<\/p>\n

Despite her monotonous whisper, Grande actually deadpanned her funny bits about Hell and its other inhabitants\u00a0effectively. Her apology and attempted sincerity, however, were another story. But it was a funny enough scene, and good closure for Ariana Grande fans who\u2019d expected more screen time from their favorite donut-licker.<\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s talk about the important stuff: who the Red Devil can be and who it definitely isn\u2019t. Let\u2019s start with Gigi and the hints she gives us about other possible suspects.<\/p>\n

Gigi<\/strong>: It was confirmed this episode that Gigi has never donned the Red Devil costume; she\u2019s just their ringleader. She does, however, call one of the Devils \u2013 the one that kidnapped Zayday \u2013 he, so we know for sure one of her minions are male. She gave us another two hints during her phone conversation when she said, \u201cyeah I used to know and love someone by that name,\u201d and then when she hung up and told Wes that it was just \u201cfamily drama.\u201d Notice that she doesn\u2019t say that she was in love with the person on the phone, just that she loved them. This makes me think that she\u2019s talking to the bathtub baby on the phone, someone who, as the Hag on Shady Lane, she most likely raised as her own child. So that would mean that the second Devil we\u2019re looking for is a female in her 20\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Dean Munsch<\/strong>: We also know now that the Dean is not the Red Devil. She did kill her ex husband and then frame Feather for it, so we know she\u2019s bat shit crazy. But it\u2019s safe to say that she\u2019s not the Red Devil, especially because Gigi was working too hard to make her seem guilty. She\u2019s definitely a murderer \u2013 just not THAT murderer.<\/p>\n

Feather<\/strong>: Poor, sweet, weird, Feather. The least murderous on this list, but also the only one who happens to be locked up. I wonder what will happen to her when it\u2019s revealed that she\u2019s not the person behind the Red Devil mask. Will they still think she\u2019s guilty of murdering Steven, or will they go looking at Dean Munsch again?<\/p>\n

Pete<\/strong>: My boyfriend was adamant this Scream Queens <\/em>episode that Pete was the murderer. While this sounds like crazy talk, there are some good hints that this could be true. First and most suspicious, Pete had the Red Devil costume. He\u2019s also been suspicious up until now, especially last episode when he was too busy studying to go to the slumber party, but as soon as it was over he was free. And finally, this episode he says that the sight of blood makes him \u201ca little faint\u201d — that sounds like a Scream Queens <\/em>cover up if I\u2019ve ever heard one.<\/p>\n

Boone<\/strong>: So, given that my assumption that the Red Devils are a boy and a girl (see above), I may have to rethink my Boone theory in Scream Queens<\/em>. We already know that Boone is gay \u2013 unless he\u2019s been faking his love for Chad this whole time. The male Devil had some sort of crush on Zayday, which is the only reason he kept her alive. So, that effectively takes Boone out of the suspect lineup. Now, that\u2019s not to say he isn\u2019t crazy suspicious and possibly working in line with Gigi and the Devils.<\/p>\n

Chanel<\/strong>: I\u2019m not saying that we shouldn\u2019t remain suspicious of Chanel Number One \u2013 she is rather heartless if that eulogy for Number Two was any indication. I am, however, saying that it\u2019s looking less like Chanel is the Red Devil. This episode it looked like Number Two was outing Chanel as the murderer when they contacted her through a Ouija board, but there\u2019s more evidence that points to her just being a bitch. Chanel, after all, has been targeted in Scream Queens <\/em>by the Devil, and while this could be a cover up, I choose to believe it\u2019s not. Number Two\u2019s ghost also apologized for saying that Chanel was the murderer and admitted she wasn\u2019t, and with all the other crazy shit that happens on Scream Queens<\/em>, why can\u2019t we choose to believe a ghost?<\/p>\n

I know I\u2019ve said before that it seemed like Scream Queens<\/em> was rushing its answers but, despite episode five, the pace has been well thought out. Next week we\u2019ll be finding out more about the creepy painting lady, as well as the bathtub baby. It’s effective how clever\u00a0Scream Queens<\/em> can be sometimes, for example, Dean Munsch\u2019s invitation to have Grace go by her office next week to talk about the bathtub baby. She literally means next week. HA. Another great example is every time that Wes has ended his class by saying, \u201csee you next Tuesday.\u201d Hopefully they keep these sneaky lines coming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
