In the Scream Queens recap, Boone returns to claim Zayday, Chanel plans for a getaway with Chad and Hester plays her hand at revenge….
By Damon Martin — Editor/Lead Writer
So this week’s episode of Scream Queens was kind of all over the place, but there were a few revelations — some we already guessed, others we didn’t — and the body count got a whole lot bigger.
Boone returned as a ghost (well that’s what Chanel No. 3 believed anyways) and he went after the person he’s wanted the most this entire time.
Chanel planned for a wonderful Thanksgiving getaway with Chad, but Hester wasn’t about to let her go without doing her best to ruin the plan by making a huge reveal.
And the trio of killers got whittled down to two and with only three weeks to go, the final reveal is just around the corner.
With that said, let’s recap the latest episode of Scream Queens titled ‘Ghost Stories’….
Closed for Business
So it’s the final night on campus for all the girls in Kappa house because with the college being closed down it’s time for everyone to go home. Chanel No. 1 doesn’t seem to care much because she’s about to travel to the Hamptons with Chad after he invited her to the Radwell compound for Thanksgiving dinner where she will meet his parents and his brothers. Oh one more thing — the house is haunted. The furniture screams and Mountain Dew turns to blood, but no big deal.
Chanel is over the moon with happiness so all she has to do is survive one more night at Kappa house and then it’s off to paradise with her boyfriend.
Unfortunately, the Red Devil killer has other plans not to mention Boone, who gets found out after his Joaquin Phoenix disguise falls off in front of Chanel No. 3. She believes he’s a ghost and that gives Boone the perfect opening to re-enter his life and go after what he’s always wanted most of all.
Zayday!
Yes, it turns out when Zayday was kidnapped and the Red Devil was trying to woo her with Oakland nachos, it wasn’t Earl Grey as I suspected but actually Boone, who was playing fake gay just for the sake of getting closer and closer to enacting revenge on all of Kappa Kappa Tau. Boone tells his best bro Chad that he has a chance to return to Earth if he can get with Zayday because ‘once you go black, you never go back’ and that — according to Dead Gay Boone — that’s how the phrase became so famous.
Chad lets Boone borrow his favorite shirt and he’s determined to get his lady before this night is over.
Denise Hemphill’s House of Horror
On the final night the sisters are staying at the Kappa house, Denise decides the girls need to tell scary stories in some kind of fright-therapy that will keep them so afraid of the fictional tales that they won’t actually be petrified that the Red Devil is coming for them.
The stories all sound sort of familiar — a goblin popping up from the toilet and eating you, a Red Cloak killer who puts blue and red toilet paper in a stall and depending on which you choose is how you die and finally the Meat Hook urban legend about a killer hiding in the backseat of a car the entire time some poor, clueless girl is driving along.
The stories work well enough to scare the living hell out of Chanel and the rest of the girls and it backfires on Denise when the Red Devil killer tries to get her while she’s in the bathroom, but she’s able to slip away.
Chanel No. 5 has finally had enough and she’s the only one to leave the house and try to get away from campus. But midway through her drive, a truck begins honking and flashing his lights at her and when she pulls over, he tells her that there’s somebody hiding in the back of her car! A few moments later, the trucker gets hacked up with a machete courtesy of the Red Devil and Chanel No. 5 makes a bee line back to Kappa house.
Boyfriend Material
Zayday and Grace are going to go to her grandma’s house in Oakland for Thanksgiving but they still have to survive one more night at Kappa Kappa Tau first. With Grace out of the room, Zayday finally makes out with her British boy Earl Grey but just when it looks like they are about to get it on, he says this has to be perfect and he leaves to go get a silk robe, oils and chocolate covered strawberries.
Zayday is impressed but she’s going to wish he stayed when a few seconds later, Boone shows up through her bedroom window with flowers while professing his love for her. He tries to play the ghost card but she’s not that stupid and when Grace returns and sees him too, Boone has no place to go.
Well that’s not entirely true because they try to grab him and instead he falls out the window but when Zayday and Grace look down at the ground, Boone is gone.
A few moments later we find Boone, who finally unmasks himself as one of the Red Devil killers just before he stabs poor Earl Grey to death. He never got his perfect date with Zayday after all.
Hog Faced Bitches
While Chanel is overjoyed at her weekend plans with Chad, Hester is none too happy that she wasn’t invited to his house for Thanksgiving. She confronts Chad while showing off her stylish new bedazzled back brace, but he’s not interested in introducing her to his family. After all, Hester smells like cheeseburgers, has a Pooh belly (probably from all those cheeseburgers), she has a back brace which means her DNA would only pollute the Radwell gene pool, she’s not rich and there’s a good chance she farts during sex.
Never one to be out done, Hester returns to Kappa house and springs her next plan of attack — faking a pregnancy, which forces Chad to dump Chanel and promise to be with neckbrace from now until forever because that’s how the Radwell’s roll. He does offer Chanel to be his side piece, but instead she lashes out and promises payback. Maybe the ultimate kind of payback….
Back at the house, Hester is all kinds of happy knowing that she’s going away with Chad for the weekend but thanks to a cunning trap laid by Chanel they figure out through a three course meal of sushi, soft cheese and champagne that the whole pregnancy thing was a lie. Hester cops to it but then says it’s already too late — Chad bought them tickets to spend a weekend at the Radwell compound and by Sunday night, she’ll actually be carrying the next generation of Dickie Dollar Scholar or Kappa Kappa Tau sister in her belly.
Chanel has finally had enough of this and she ends up pushing Hester down the stairs, killing her in the process. Chanel may not be the killer but she’s certainly racking up quite a body count this season.
Para-moron Investigation
Following this latest string of murders, Dean Munsch calls back on the campus cops to investigate, but when the detective decides to turn this over to a paranormal investigator because clearly this is the work of a ghost, she’s had enough. Dean Munsch realizes that this moron isn’t going to solve anything and with each additional murder, her chances of having a student body to govern is getting less and less.
Finally, Dean Munsch opens up to Zayday and Grace and tells them one more detail about that night at Kappa house 20 years ago when a sister gave birth to a baby. After she was already presumed dead, another baby came out of her — so as we suspected there were twins just like in that painted picture of Gigi at the asylum. We now know Boone is one of the twins as revealed tonight, but who is his sister?
Well, Boone meets up with her that night while she’s still in costume as he plots a way to kill Gigi and get revenge on their own. But when Gigi shows up and makes a very good point that Boone just exposed that he’s alive, thus giving everyone a link back to the murders, he’s risked their safety as well. So the Red Devil killer — and sister — stabs Boone in the heart and this time he’s dead for real. We now know that Gigi is the mastermind behind it all but who is the girl behind the Red Devil mask?
With only three weeks to go, we are going to find out very soon!
PRIME SUSPECT
Well, Earl Grey was eliminated this week — both figuratively and literally — and we now know Boone was one of the twin children born that fateful night 20 years ago. The other killer is his sister so we know it’s a girl behind that mask, but which one?
Right now the suspects at the top of the list are either Chanel No. 1 or Chanel No. 5. Chanel Oberlin has already killed a bunch of people and she’s conveniently slipped away every time the Red Devil has showed up. Chanel No. 5 is a legacy, which means her mother was also a Kappa and that could lead to her being the one in the bathtub.
BEST LINES:
“I’m trying to impress Mr. and Mrs. Radwell and I just spent two hours dressing up as the hag who didn’t realize she was the third wheel on Lewis and Clark’s gay camping extravaganza?”
Zayday: “Nice shirt”
Boone: “Thank you. You know what it’s made out of?”
Zayday: “What?”
Boone: “Boyfriend material.”
“My spinal column was collapsing so I decided to bedazzle my neck brace and put it back on.”
“Last time we porked, I heard a tiny little squeal like somebody letting air out of a balloon followed by the smell of death. I feel like you farted.”
“Guess what, bitch? I’m pregnant!”
“The only benefit of meeting you is that I now know I clearly have a type — and that type is a moron.”
“What I just did will become a new ghost story. A cautionary tale about what happens to hog faced bitches who try to steal hotter Kappa’s boyfriends.”
