Scream Queens is a 2015 Fox horror comedy series by Ryan Murphy. It features an ensemble cast including the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Skyler Samuels, Keke Palmer, and Abigail Breslin, with John Stamos and Taylor Lautner joining up in its second season. Nick Jonas, Ariana Grande, Colton Haynes, and more familiar pop culture faces appear in minor roles.Season one revolves around the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority house, which becomes the target of a mysterious serial killer known as the Red Devil. With tensions running high on campus, it's a race to discover the killer's identity before he (or she) kills them — or they kill each other. What's more, the mystery of the Red Devil may tie into another mystery involving the death of a sorority sister twenty years ago.Season two features a time skip of three years from season one, and moves the focus from Kappa Kappa Tau to a hospital bought out by Dean Munsch, staffed by Chanels One, Three, and Five, and Zayday.The show is notable for its slick visual style, campy, surreal humor, and many of the characters being broad archetypes with occasional moments of hidden depth — this is a Ryan Murphy show, after all.No relation to VH1 reality game show of the same name, or the trope (also) of the same name, for that matter.The show was canceled after two seasons, although its anthology format left no real lingering story. However, Ryan Murphy confirmed in 2020 that he was working on a third season revival of the show.

Anyone Can Die: What happens when you discover that someone may be a serial killer, and you go and confront them on your own without backup? If you're lucky, you just get kidnapped; if not, you DIE. The first one happened to Zayday, and the latter unfortunately happened to Chamberlain.

Serial Killings, Specific Target: Dean Munsch decides to take advantage of the Red Devil rampage to kill her ex-husband, correctly assuming that the police will just attribute the killing to the Red Devil. For added bonus she frames her ex-husband's new girlfriend as the Red Devil.

Unreliable Narrator
 Scream Queens (2015) / int_1869b4b1
comment
Unreliable Narrator: The flashbacks have a tendency to show the same scene in subtlely different ways (ie with slightly different dialogue), or show characters in 1995 as they appear in 2015, hinting that they may not be taken at face value. After both Pete and Hester explain their involvement in the Red Devil killings it becomes apparent that both versions can't be true, since they contradict each other in a key detail: Hester claims that the only person she killed directly was Pete, but Pete left Gigi out of the list of people that he did kill. One of them has to be lying, because one of them had to kill Gigi. Hester's flashbacks imply that Boone was completely incompetent as a killer. While he died clutching the Idiot Ball, it's hard to believe she wasn't exaggerating. Especially since she also claims to have only killed one person, which is in-and-of itself unlikely, but also makes him seem far more competent as the primary Devil.

Gone Horribly Wrong: Numerous times One attempt by Chad and his friends to kill the Red Devil just leads to several murdered instead. Notably, Dean Munsch kills her cheating ex-husband and frames the man's lover for his murder. However, the cops are so lazy and incompetent that they fail to see the evidence Munsch planted and she's the one who ends up in jail. Chanel offers Denise a big payday to get evidence on Grace and hang around the house...only for Denise to make herself "housemother," trash Chanel and even reveal her affair with Chad.

End of an Age
 Scream Queens (2015) / int_1bc2e445
comment
End of an Age: The end of the season. The conservative, right-wing, traditional (meaning that you had to pledge and not everyone could join) lily white Kappa Kappa Tau which bucked the system and flaunted it's disrespect for authority is dead. It has been replaced with a social justice warrior version of Kappa with an open door policy for anyone to join (so long as you do not hold any conservative views), a stated upfront prejudice against anyone not politically liberal, a black President, and the college's Dean is firmly in their back pockets to cover their crimes, including mass murder. Also, the school's sole fraternity has all but completely slaughtered, with Chad Radwell the only member of the Dickie Dollar Scholars left alive by the time the season ends.

Cruel and Unusual Death
 Scream Queens (2015) / int_1e584efa
comment
Cruel and Unusual Death: Chanel #9's death at the hands of the Green Meanie (Cassidy) with the help of Dr. Hoffel in the episode "Blood Drive". Chanel #9 had an extreme fear of needles, and Chanel Oberlin decided to help her cure her fear by taking her blood, while holding her down on a table (at the same time, she would get blood for a blood drive that she was eager to win). When Chanel left the room, the Green Meanie and Dr. Hoffel stuck her full of needles, leaving her to bleed to death. When her body is discovered, it's as disturbing as you might guess.

A House Divided: Many of the pledges are very against the Chanels, and that's not taking into account the power struggle between them. It reaches a point where Zayday runs for house president, and the vote is tied evenly between her and Chanel. Chanel takes advantage of this trope so Zayday can be elected president and be a bigger target for the Red Devil.

Actually, anyone who isn't a straight-up Magnificent Bastard seems to fall into this category. Chad deduced that Boone didn't kill himself, Chanel #1 was able to explain why her underlings attempts to kill her would have failed, and a surprising large number of general morons have shown skills that let them survive encounters with the Red Devil.

Token Good Cop: Played for Laughs. Throughout the series the Police are presented as utterly incompetent, to the point they completely fail to notice a decapitated body sitting in plain sight and rule Boone's death a suicide when even Chad Radwell was able to point out that was impossible (as well as missing the fact that Boone wasn't actually dead despite moving his body to morgue). At one point Chanel resorts to hiring two detectives from Scotland Yard to try to prove Grace and Zayday are the killers, the two immediately point out they have no jurisdiction in America and question the sheer absurdity of the events, but prove to be the only actually competent police in the entire show, managing within a span of less than 24 hours to uncover the pairs entire hidden pasts and completely exonerate them both.

comment
Hidden Depths: Despite Chad and Boone saying the Dicky Dollar Society wouldn't be accepting of gays they are later shown to be both devastated and hungry for revenge when they discover that Boone was murdered, even after finding out he was gay. While they were at first surprised they quickly got over it and joined Chad in taking steroids, binge drinking, and hitting the streets with baseball bats looking for the Red Devil to avenge their fallen DDS brother. For a group of Jerk Jocks they show a surprising amount of care and devotion to each other. During the fight with the 2 Red Devils when it looked like Chad was going to be murdered by one of them, one of the DDS members quickly charged the RD standing menacingly above Chad with his baseball bat. Even after getting one of his arms cut off he still fights to protect Chad by picking up the baseball bat from his now severed arm and tried to continue the fight. Now only are these jocks surprisingly loyal to each other they're badasses too.

The Bad Guy Wins: Not only does Hester - who is the female twin in the bath tub - get her revenge as the Red Devil killer, she successfully convinces people that Chanels number 1, 3, and 5 are the Red Devil killers that plotted the whole thing together. Even after she is confronted by the Dean, who reveals that she knew Hester was the female twin all along, Hester is able to convince her to forget about telling, because she could prove the murders that the Dean committed, and how she set up Feather. In the end, Hester gets her happy ending, and the Chanels get sent to the insane asylum where she came from. She shoots herself in the foot immediately in Season 2, confessing to everything on camera, thinking she couldn't be convicted.

 Scream Queens (2015) / int_314afdb
comment
In-Universe Factoid Failure: In-Universe in "Pumpkin Patch," Chad gives a speech about John F. Kennedy. During the speech, he refers to Kennedy as the 60th president, says he served in Vietnam, and attributes Franklin Roosevelt's "fear itself" quote to him. Calling Kennedy "John Fitzpatrick Kennedy, Jr." (President Kennedy's son is "Jr." and the F is actually for Fitzgerald) is the least glaring mistake he makes. Munsch can only express amazement that he managed to get into college.

Actor Allusion
 Scream Queens (2015) / int_392372f9
comment
Actor Allusion: Billie Lourd, who plays Chanel #3, is Carrie Fisher's daughter. The earmuffs her character often wears are a homage to her mother's iconic Princess Leia hairdo. Not to mention in the Season 1 finale, she wears her hair in the buns. Jamie Lee Curtis was one of the original scream queens, in Halloween. In "Seven Minutes in Hell", Chanel calls Grace "Nancy Drew" as an insult. Of Course, Emma Roberts would know all about Nancy Drew, wouldn't she? Jamie Lee Curtis also creates an almost shot-for-shot homage to her mother Janet Leigh and her famous scene from Psycho in "Mommie Dearest." In "Haunted House", Grace dresses as Kate Hudson. Her father is played by Kate's real-life brother. In the same episode, she meets a woman whose younger self was played Grace Phipps, who played her best friend on The Nine Lives of Chloe King. Niecy Nash had also played a police officer on Reno 911. In season 2 premiere, Dr.Cascade played by Taylor Lautner diagnoses a woman who has Hypertrichosis aka Werewolf Syndrome. Lautner played a werewolf in the Twilight series. There's also a joke about his body being cold, another Twilight reference. Emma Roberts, who plays Chanel Oberlin, is the daughter of Eric Roberts, who played the Master in the Doctor Who movie. In the season 2 episode Halloween Blues, in a rage, Chanel asks "did this crappy dorm turn into a Doctor Who TARDIS while I was asleep, and transport us all back to Ancient Egypt?"

comment
Characterization Marches On: Sam dropped a few Straw Feminist lines in her introduction - finding heterosexual sex disgusting and protesting against the hiring of a security guard because "I feel uncomfortable with a man protecting me". These traits are dropped after the pilot and she's portrayed as a more aloof loner. A huge part of Chad's character in the first few episodes is that he's turned on by death, presumably to set him up as a Red Herring. After it's proved he's not the bathtub baby, this side of him quietly disappears.

Downer Ending

comment
Downer Ending: Hester, the surviving Red Devil Killer gets away with everything and frames the Chanels for her crime. In the wake of their arrest and sentencing to being sent to a mental institution for life (with it strongly implied Hester eventually drops by to finish the job and kill at least, Channel Oberlin), Kappa undergoes a rapid transformation... to the exact same corrupt institution it was. The new Kappa Kappa Tau is inclusive to everyone... except conservatives and firmly has the support of the ultra-corrupt and equally guilty Dean Munsch, who has finally become the powerful overlord she wished she was in her monologue at the start of the season. She has used the murders to launch a career as a Third Wave Feminist writer, penning a best seller which is all about how men are evil and how women are "better than men". More to the point, when she confronts Hester over her villainy, she immediately agrees to continue covering up Hester's crimes because she refuses to do the right thing and fall on her own sword, in order to bring Hester to justice and free the Chanels. Even Grace and Zayday are utterly compromised; they knows Dean Munsch murdered her husband and framed her husband's new girlfriend for the crime (and used Grace to do so) but have decided to let Feather rot in an insane asylum (and not the nice part of the asylum the Chanels are locked up in) for no other reason than because they just don't care. In short, the corruption still reigns supreme and the only difference is that it's left-leaning corruption as opposed to Channel Oberlin's right-leaning corruption. The only killer who actually receives justice is Chanel and she only killed someone via manslaughter.

Wham Line: Mainly for Chanel, who reacts in an appropriate manner. On a much more serious note... Oh, of all the things that could've come out of Black Friday, right before Grace hooked up with him... The finale also has a big one. After the previous episode implied that Chanel #5 was the murderer (with a Wham Line that turns out to be a fake out), we're suddenly hit with this little monologue right at the beginning of the next one:

Full-Circle Revolution
 Scream Queens (2015) / int_4ef62a4d
comment
Full-Circle Revolution: At the end of the season, the Kappas have basically changed from a group of snotty right wing sorority girls to a bunch of homicidal (and homicidal maniac enabling) left-wingers, meaning nothing was changed save for the political affiliation of the leadership caste. It get's worse: Zayday, Hester, and Grace also have Dean Munsch on their side, whereas with the Chanels, they were clearly at odds with the administration and Munsch, allowing them "cool rebel" status. And given that Hester is a mass murderer, who has MAD level blackmail material on Munsch? God help the students of Wallace University, since Munsch will probably continue to cover up Hester's crimes, if she ever kills again since Hester can destroy Munsch in a heartbeat. Adding to the From Bad to Worse factor is the fact that by continuing to cover up Dean Munsch's murder of her ex-husband, Grace has proven that she's just as horrible as her meth-addicted, thieving, carjacking, letting-her-sorority-sister-die-in-a-bathtub-after-birthing-a-child-so-she-could-dance-to-"Waterfalls" mother.

Early-Installment Weirdness: Though not a long-running series, the first season does have some moments of this. Throughout the show, Chanel #3 always wears earmuffs, eventually explaining in "Seven Minutes in Hell" that she has to wear them for fear of an ex-boyfriend cutting them off. The first and second episodes, however, each include a scene with an earmuff-less #3, apparently before the backstory was solidly decided upon.

Eviler than Thou: Chanel is truly afraid when Dr. Hoffel makes it clear that she will literally kill the girls if they get in her way. Hester also states that the new killer is far worse than the Red Devil ever was. Which might be a moot point, considering that Hester is revealed to be working with the Green Meanie.

Police Are Useless
 Scream Queens (2015) / int_59907e4f
comment
Police Are Useless: One of the most triumphant examples in modern television. The police investigate a decapitation with a lawnmower in the KKT backyard but somehow manage to completely miss the dead body of Chanel #2 in plain sight inside the house and the blood-soaked bathtub in the basement. "Security guard" Denise would give rent-a-cops a bad name. Their entire handling of Boone's death pushes this trope up to eleven: For starters they manage to process the crime scene and move the body to the morgue without ever realizing that Boone is alive and the gash on his neck is fake. Then they rule the death a suicide... where the victim had a slashed throat and there are bloody footprints all over the crime scene. All of this of course, without the benefit of an autopsy, since the body disappeared from the morgue and they haven’t told anyone. Of all people, Denise is the one who finds Chanel #2's blood on the bedroom floor and her texts detailing her own murder yet somehow the authorities assume she just left town. Episode 4 drives this trope home and back when the cop Zayday calls to report the dead bodies in the haunted house flat out states it's not worth investigating, and that he himself was excited to see them after his shift. Dean Munsch's plan to frame Feather Mccarthy for the murder and dismemberment of the Dean's ex-husband nearly failed and backfired on her because the police were too sloppy, lazy and incompetent to find the evidence she had carefully planted on their own. Several episode later, the incompetent 911 cop who took Zayday's call has been replaced by an even worse automated version. So far, the only effective police on the show have been a pair that Chanel hires from Scotland Yard. And even then, they point out to Chanel that they have no jurisdiction, and only go along with it because she bribes/extorts them. Episode 9 reveals that the police were working on a theory as to why they were never able to catch the Red Devil: they believed that they were dealing with a ghost. Even Dean Munsch realizes at that point it's time to call in the FBI rather than deal with these morons. Deconstructed in Episode 11 as the Chief of Police and the entire homicide division are fired en masse for their incredible incompetence. Of course, that just ends up leaving Denise in charge... And right back to played straight as, in her first move as chief, Denise has the Red Devil at gunpoint but wastes time bragging about knowing its Zayday, allowing the Red Devil to kill another cop with a crossbow before running off. Denise openly lampshades "why didn't I just shoot him instead of wasting time talking?" It's soon shown that Denise has hired male strippers as cops, complete with skimpy uniforms. And finally, Denise totally buys Hester's explanation that the Chanels are the Red Devil despite the fact the "evidence" is barely enough to merit even a courtesy investigation, let alone any arrests. Season 2 continues it with a cop coming up with a wild theory of a killer and when asked by Munsch if "you need to complete high school to be a cop," answers no. When Dean Munsch is met up by Chanel #5 facing the killer, she says to call the police but then quickly corrects herself. "No, the police are morons!" Denise still thinks Zayday is the killer.

Idiot Ball: Hester confesses on videotape to being the killer and setting up the Chanels and boasts she can't be tried because of "double jeopardy." Denise points out that Hester was never tried for the crime once and it doesn't apply but Hester insists that "someone was convicted" so it counts.

Politically Incorrect Villain: All the sorority sisters and frat brothers are less than PC to one degree or another, but Chanel Oberlin takes it up to eleven. She's shown to be racist, classist, homophobic and prejudiced against the fat, the deaf, the ugly… and that’s just in the first episode.

Final Boss: In the end, Wes is made a patsy and killed, Cassidy and his mom pull Heel-Face Turns, and Hester runs off, leaving Nurse Hoffel as the final killer.

Morality Kitchen Sink
 Scream Queens (2015) / int_7583ecbf
comment
Morality Kitchen Sink: This show has a surprisingly complicated morality, with no group being pure good or bad: First we have the Chanel’s who are entire bunch of selfish bitches led by Chanel who is herself ruthless, prejudiced and selfish. She's however driven this way by her terrible mother, and who very occasionally show flashes of a softer side. Of the other Chanels, we have regular Beta Bitch Chanel #2, Chanel #3 is also very much a Chanel, but is also clearly the nicest member due to her being willing to extend kindness to the others and being the least malicious. Then we have Chanel #5 and Hester, the first is aggressive and homophobic and second is a twofaced power hungry brownnoser however both are also driven by having a miserable life. The Dickie Dollar Scholars are a bunch of lustful arrogant frat boys who prove to all be good friends, led by misogynistic egotist Chad Radwell who proves to be a caring friend, a popular leader and when it comes to important matters ready to step up. It also includes one genuine Nice Guy, one lunatic and several mostly harmless idiots. For the pledges we have good girl Grace who gets accused of making everything about her and temporarily conspires with the others to kill Dean Munsch, Zeyday Williams who ends up accepting Chanel’s intention to kill Munsch is right, the misandristic Sam, Jennifer and Deaf Taylor Swift. Also for Grace we have Nice Guy Pete, who is chasing the story of the Red Devil and has a surprisingly low amount of moral scruples in his pursuit of information. For the faculty we have Dean Munsch whose working to shut Kappa down, and is also a bitter, jaded, selfish woman who was behind covering up the events in 95, and murdered her husband for leaving her. Grace’s father Wes who was a Party Animal in his teens and committed arson to protect his daughter. And dedicated but only sometimes capable security guard Denise Hemphill. Even for the killers we have the Affably Evil Tragic Villain Gigi as the Mastermind. Two Ax-Crazy lunatics as the Red Devil, both with solid reasons behind their instability and the seeming good intentioned Pete.

Adding to the From Bad to Worse factor is the fact that by continuing to cover up Dean Munsch's murder of her ex-husband, Grace has proven that she's just as horrible as her meth-addicted, thieving, carjacking, letting-her-sorority-sister-die-in-a-bathtub-after-birthing-a-child-so-she-could-dance-to-"Waterfalls" mother.

Unishment: After the Chanels sentenced to spend life in an insane asylum after their trial, they actually find happiness in the asylum. Chanel #3 fell love with one of the lesbian nurses, Chanel and Chanel #5 become best friends after the psychiatrists put the latter on medications that turn her into someone the former actually likes, and Chanel is voted "Asylum" president. Unfortunately for them it doesn't last.

Right for the Wrong Reasons: Based on what he saw in the crime scene, Chad concludes that Boone’s death couldn't have been a suicide. He is right of course, but it's not because his death was murder but because Boone faked his own death. The police arrest Dean Munsch for the murder of her ex-husband on the most circumstantial of evidence. They're right, but not for the reasons they think.

Where the Hell Is Springfield?
 Scream Queens (2015) / int_8504b817
comment
Where the Hell Is Springfield?: The location of Wallace University is never stated, with license plates left deliberately vague. The preppy environment of the campus is reminiscent of many small, private liberal arts colleges on the Eastern Seaboard, but the clues get contradictory from there. Gigi's reference to the region having once been glaciated implies that it's in the Northeast, but Chanel referring to The American Civil War as the "War of Northern Aggression", along with the stadium being named after Jesse Helms, suggest the South (though the former could be more a joke about her reactionary Alpha Bitch nature and tendency toward casual racism, especially given that her accent is generic American).

Bait-and-Switch: The opening scene features a girl running into a sorority party with her hands covered in blood, dramatically sayig that it isn't hers. Given the whole premise of the show, it's rather a surprise when it's actually from a pledge who just had a baby while not even having been aware that she was pregnant and thinking she had just gained 'the freshman fifteen'. And then subverted, since the girl bleeds out and dies thanks to the sorority sisters neglecting to get her any medical help.

Black Dude Dies First
 Scream Queens (2015) / int_9788e2b1
comment
Black Dude Dies First: Averted for much of the first season's run, with its few black characters surviving with no trouble with several others getting killed, but then... ...downplayed as in "Ghost Stories", with the first series regular to be offed being Earl Grey, a black guy. Also counts as We Hardly Knew Ye since he spent his whole existence on the show being barely more than eye-candy.

Greater-Scope Villain: As bad as Chanel is, she insists her own mother was far worse. Apparently, she disowned a son at birth for "cradle cap", Chanel's sister for joining the Peace Corps, and praised Chanel's ability to hurt people as a child but still kept her from attending her own high school graduation because her small zit would "embarrass the family with her deformity."

comment
A Fool for a Client: One of the best examples of why this is a bad idea is the first season finale. The Chanels are on trial and the evidence is actually pretty flimsy. But their decision to defend themselves backfires as Chanel's "strategy" involves simply yelling at people and demanding to be set free. Even then, it looks like they'll be acquitted... until Chanel stands up in court to bad mouth every member of the jury who then turns in a guilty verdict. If the Chanels had just bothered to get a half-decent lawyer, they would have gotten out scot-free.

For Inconvenience, Press "1": In the episode "Mommy Dearest", when Dean Munsch tries to call 911 to report an attack by the Red Devil, she gets a recently implemented one of these, much to her annoyance. Though to be fair, an earlier episode had proved that even when the cops had an actual operator, they weren't all that useful either.

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Denise. She varies wildly between utter incompetence and surprisingly good detective work. She was able to deduce both that there was more than one killer, and that Chanel #2 was dead. However, her case against Zayday was (mostly) insane. Actually, anyone who isn't a straight-up Magnificent Bastard seems to fall into this category. Chad deduced that Boone didn't kill himself, Chanel #1 was able to explain why her underlings attempts to kill her would have failed, and a surprising large number of general morons have shown skills that let them survive encounters with the Red Devil. Caulfield, is like the rest of the DDS (except Boone) a Dumb Jock, however he proves to be incredibly resilient.

Final Girl: Grace is set up as this, based on the trailers, sharing many traits with other final girls. In particular, she's a Nice Girl, she's enemies with the Alpha Bitch, she has a prior connection to the sorority which she is trying to learn more about, and she's the Girl Next Door. However, in the end several young female characters survive the series, including Grace, Zayday, Hester, and all three remaining Chanels. Zayday takes up this mantle from Grace when the latter doesn't return in Season 2, though once again, the season ends with the Chanels and Hester also making it out alive.

She even barred Chanel from attending her high school graduation because she felt the small zit Chanel had that day would "humiliate the family with her deformity." And in the finale, they legally disown her and sue for damages from her driving her jeep through the living room once.

Brock's Halloween costume is him wearing a bunch of bloody rags, which he says represents the script for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. In the season finale, Nurse Hoffel claims that the explosive they've made to destroy the hospital will be a "bigger bomb than Cloud Atlas".

Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: In any other jurisdiction making Denise the chief of police would be the definition of insanity. She's a rent-a-cop, and not an especially good one. However, the sheer ineptitude of the existing police means she comes closer to actually apprehending the killer than any previous law enforcement official on the show. She even notes that she would have succeeded if she had shot him and not stopped to brag about it.

comment
Twenty Minutes with Jerks: Due to the comedy being mostly hit-or-miss, it quite often turns out to be this, not helped by the intention of making the characters absolutely obnoxious. In-fact, the entire first half of the first season plays out like a normal slasher film. Most of those episodes developed the characters and killed off minor characters, before the remaining of the season played out with a much normal tone.

Tyrant Takes the Helm: Munsch only became Dean at the start of the series after her predecessor's death. She immediately makes herself an enemy of Chanel #1 by trying to revoke KKT's charter, forcing their acceptance of all pledges and overall trying to clean up the Greek system.

These Gloves Are Made for Killin'
 Scream Queens (2015) / int_bc7e1c5b
comment
These Gloves Are Made for Killin': Hester wears a black leather glove as she pushes the activation button for the deep fat fryer to avoid leaving her fingerprint. Somewhat subverted in that she didn't kill Ms Bean by dunking her head in the fryer. She just tricked Chanel into doing it. Dean Munsch wears black nitrile gloves as she murders her husband and frames the student he was having an affair with.

Fake Pregnancy: Hester tries to claim she has Chad's baby but is found out when Chanel gets her to eat cheese and drink champagne...this despite how Chanel openly tells Hester what this is, then calls her on eating and drinking that can be damaging to the baby. Hester tries to do it again when she arrives at Chad's family home for dinner but Chad's mother isn't fooled, warning her the family has an entire legal team ready to take care of fake paternity claims.

Shout-Out: The entirety of visiting Hester to consult her on the new killings is clearly based on Silence of the Lambs. Likewise, one of the inmates flings cake into Chanel's hair. This is in reference of Multiple Miggs and him "biting" himself and flinging his "blood" into Clarice's hair. Hamilton is specifically named. Denise is a big fan of Quantico.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Two instances in the "Beware of Young Girls". The Ouija Board the Chanels use to contact Chanel #2. Was it really her spirit communicating with them or were the girls messing with each other? Chanel #1's vision of the ghost of Chanel #2 coming to apologize and warn her of danger. It could be an actual visit from a spirit or a simply manifestation of Chanel's subconscious during a laxative induced dream. The fact that the spirit told her only things Chanel wanted to hear or could've deduced on her own complicates matters further.

Connected All Along: Many characters are revealed to have ties to the incident in 1995: Dean Munsch and Miss Bean were there, and helped cover it all up; Gigi was the sister of a sorority sister involved with the incident, Grace's mom, Bethany was the girl whose negligence lead to the death of the girl in the bathtub; Wes Gardner fathered Grace through Bethany, was a student at the university, and is also the father of the bathtub twins. On a lighter note, a flashback reveals that Grace briefly met Chanel, #3 and #5 when she was taking a campus tour before the series began. Denise is also revealed to have been a pledge who was not allowed into Kappa because of her skin color.

Action Girl: Several of the women on the show turn out to be a lot better in a fight than anyone would expect. The Dean turns out to be a superior hand-to-hand fighter. She's able to singlehandedly kick the crap out of two Red Devils and an Antonin Scalia impersonator and sends them running. It's explained in "Mommie Dearest" that when she was a junior in college, she spent a year abroad and had an affair with a "beautiful Eurasian man" who taught her everything he knew about fighting in return for her teaching him everything she knew about making love. Chanel herself, while not that tough, is no slouch in the physical department. Grace fights the last Red Devil quite evenly before getting overpowered.

Hollywood Board Games: Chad's family is as misogynistic, self-centered, and nasty as him. So much, even Alpha Bitch Chanel is scandalized by their treatment of herself and Hester, her protégé during the Radwells' thanksgiving dinner. Chanel describes their Pictionary game as the most mean-spirited one in the history of Pictionary. Anyone would think that after spending a game full of scathing remarks, vulgar guesses, and demeaning drawings.

The second and third episodes feature gratuitously homoerotic scenes where Chad corners Brock in the shower. They're both naked, although the camera doesn't pan bellow their waists.

Played With. For most of the season the audience knows far more about the identity of the killers than the characters. At the end of episode 2 we find out Boone is one of them. A few episodes later we find out Gigi is as well. However, we find out the motives of the killers at the same time the characters do, and in episode 9 and 10 Boone'syet unrevealed sister kills both him and Gigi, meaning the audience will go into the finale as a pure Who Dun It.

Exact Words
 Scream Queens (2015) / int_e9e35e8f
comment
Exact Words: Hester insists that the only person she ever killed was Pete, which is true... if one doesn't count the fact that she turned on the fryer in the pilot episode, making sure that Chanel Oberlin killed Ms. Bean by accident. Or all the people whose death she was complicit in. Actually, it's probably a lie regardless. All indications suggest that she was the one in the Red Devil costume when Gigi gets killed; Boone's dialogue just before his death suggests that he and Hester were planning to kill Gigi, and Pete's confession not only doesn't mention killing Gigi, it suggests that he didn't think Gigi was a threat without Boone and this is why she was spared at that time. Considering that Hester was the only Red Devil still alive to kill the pizza delivery guy, she must have been the one to kill him to frame the Chanels, so yes, she was definitely lying.

You Are Number 6: Chanels #2 through #5, going hand in hand with Only Known by Their Nickname. Most of the time the other girls just refer to them by number. This literally happens with Hester, when she become Chanel #6. In the second season, several more Chanels are recruited in order to act as human shields for the main three.

(It at least, is justified by the fact that without the medication that was making her more likable, #5 has gone back to her old shrill personality.)

Fallen Princess: The Chanels, from rich and popular girls to poor and hated by everyone. Due to being the supposed suspects of the murder on campus from previous season, they've been disowned by their wealthy parents and are put into an asylum. Even though later an award-winning Netflix documentary based on the murder proves them to be innocent, thus they're out of the asylum, it's even worse for them, as they're hated by public due to being awful (and they're still poor). They're all back on top by the end of the season, with Chanel getting her own show, #3 being her executive producer, and #5 gaining a successful medical career.

Undying Loyalty: In the third episode when the Dicky Dollar Society are fighting the two Red Devils it looked like Chad was going to be murdered by one of them. Upon seeing this one of the DDS members immediately charges the serial killer and trys to save Chad. Even after having one of his arms cut off the frat boy doesn't stop or even acknowledge the pain he's feeling and picks up the bat from his severed arm to continue fighting to protecting Chad. He does save Chad... at the cost of his other arm.

First we have the Chanel’s who are entire bunch of selfish bitches led by Chanel who is herself ruthless, prejudiced and selfish. She's however driven this way by her terrible mother, and who very occasionally show flashes of a softer side. Of the other Chanels, we have regular Beta Bitch Chanel #2, Chanel #3 is also very much a Chanel, but is also clearly the nicest member due to her being willing to extend kindness to the others and being the least malicious. Then we have Chanel #5 and Hester, the first is aggressive and homophobic and second is a twofaced power hungry brownnoser however both are also driven by having a miserable life.

Well-Intentioned Extremist
 Scream Queens (2015) / int_fd4f8299
comment
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Everyone involved in the Red Devil murders (except for Gigi, who seems hung up on the revenge angle) justifies their actions primarily by saying it's necessary to take down the corrupt elitism of the Greek System represented by Kappa Kappa Tau. The Time Skip suggests that things are much worse, but in all of the opposite ways. The new Kappa Kappa Tau is inclusive to everyone... except conservatives. Grace uses her position for a vanity pregnancy help line she forces her fellow sisters to man and confesses to her dad that she's not gotten a single call. Oh and the whole thing with her being perfectly fine with covering up Dean Munsch killing her husband and framing an innocent woman. And Dean Munsch, has used the murders to gain the God-like power and status she so craved. Not only has she become famous for writing a book that basically bashes men and calls them inferior to women, but also is using her newfound status as a leading figure in Third Wave Feminism/Social Justice Warrior movement to punish people like Jerry Seinfeld (who famously attacked SJWs for being too easily offended) by revoking his invitation to speak at commencement "because he once made a joke about a woman". And that's not even counting her continuing to be a corrupt administrator; only instead of covering up college girls dying in childbirth, she's covering up a serial killer who framed three innocent women for murder simply for the sake of protecting her own ass. In short, the corruption still reigns supreme and the only difference is that it's left leaning corruption as opposed to Channel Oberlin's right leaning corruption.

Subverted seconds later by Chanel (in the beginning of the next episode) when she claims that Chanel #5 must be the killer and insults her. After Dean Munsch discovers that she has a fatal illness, Zayday hugs and comforts her.
