Scream Queens Episodes 7-8 Reviews: Dean Munsch Kicks Ass

In "Beware Of Young Girls" the funeral is held for Chanel #2. What took them so long? The service turns into a bitch feast with Chanel saying how much she hates the deceased. They adjourn to the yard where #2 is flash cremated and shot into space. Back at KKT, the girls use a Ouija board to contact #2 who points to #1 as the killer.

RIP Chanel #2, You Look Fabulous Even In Death

That night Chanel #2 appears to Chanel and apologizes for declaring her a murderer. She adds that the other sorority sisters are plotting to kill #1 by dropping a bowling ball on her head. #2 is not saying this out of the goodness of her heart. She's trying to get out of Hell by doing a good deed. Following is one of most bizarre exchanges in the entire show. #1 asks if there were dinosaurs in Hell. #2 says upon arrival she was told "We know Jesus broke in and stole them". How delightfully bizarre. Chanel confronts #3, #4, #6 and they all decide to work together and bring Zayday and Grace to justice as the Red Devil killers.

Gigi puts Grace on the trail of a girl named Feather McCarthy. She was previously a student who dated (and later married) Dean Munsch's husband. Professor Munsch is killed and dismembered. Cathy is carted off to a mental hospital by the world's stupidest cop.

Definitely An Odd Couple

Cathy gives Pete and Grace a few clues to follow up on. They discover that while murdering Professor Munsch, the killer stops to make a sandwich. This proves Cathy cant be the killer. She's deathly allergic to sandwich meats. Feather on the other hand has a bologna appreciation website-- ilovebologna.org. Feather is promptly arrested and Munsch is released from custody. Cathy later admits to the audience that SHE in fact killed her ex and framed Feather (by using some chompy teeth to bite into the aforementioned sandwich). She ends with "here's to young girl's getting what's coming to them" and "hell has no fury like a woman scorned". We now know Cathy is a killer but not the one we're looking for.

Niecy Nash does not appear in this episode. I miss me some Dense Hemphill! It should be criminal to have an episode without her.

"Psycho" Version 2.0

"Mommie Dearest" opens with Dean Munsch in the shower. The Red Devil pulls back the curtain but she's gone. She proceeds to beat him to a pulp. Interestingly, she never tries to unmask him. Wouldnt that be the first thing you would do?

What a great callback to her mother Janet Leigh being killed in the shower in "Psych". Luckily Munsch doesnt suffer the same fate. She uses a fireplace poker and some fancy karate moves to take down two Red Devils and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. They all flee the house.Jamie Lee Curtis continues to be one of the BEST parts of this show.

The Most Frightening Halloween Costume I've Seen All Year

Grace and Pete are still on the hunt for answers. Cathy refuses to help for fear of "hypothetically" incriminating herself as an accessory to murder. She does tell Grace that the woman in the tub was named Sophie Doyle. Grace is still convinced she's the bathtub baby.

The amateur sleuths head back to the mental hospital where they visited Munsch last week. The woman that paints everything produces two paintings from twenty years ago. One is of Gigi (who is now for sure is the Hag of Shady Lane) and the other is her holding two babies--- a boy and a girl. The plot thickens.

But What Happened To Her Ant Family?

Jennifer the candle vlogger is dead (and posed on the dining room table as a candle). Wallace University is closed until further notice. There is a fitting candle lite vigil for Jennifer.
Denise moves into the Kappa house. Chanel #4 offers her $3 million to prove Zayday is the killer. She's having a hard time finding evidence. It doesn't look like Denise will be purchasing her Sandals island any time soon.

What's Up With The Hats Grace?

Chanel #1 hires two Scotland yard detectives to uncover the truth. They get some dirt on Grace. Her mother is NOT the woman in the bathtub. She is the KKT sister on the table partying during "Waterfalls". Her name is Bethany Stevens. Grace gets an earful from #1 about her mean alcoholic mother Mary Mulligan.

Grace confronts Gigi (who waves an engagement ring at her) and Wes. Wes is still a wild card since we dont know what his motives are. Gigi encourages him to have Grace committed.

Boone shows up at the gym wearing a fake beard and mustache. The dude has still got to get his reps in. He talks to someone on the phone. Gigi was the person behind the Judge Scalia mask during Munsch's attack. Boone tells "whoever" that they need to get rid of Gigi once and for all.

Denise has a makeover (thanks to #5's clothes) and takes over Kappa house. It's great to watch her put the other girls in line. Yeah! And is there anyone on this campus who hasnt slept with Chad? Not even goats are safe.

"That's right Chanel. You will say you are sorry to Grace and start changing the way you treat the ladies at Kappa house or Mam Denise will take your man."- Denise to #1.

Grade: 4 Monsters (out of 5). I'm still enjoying this campy show. To be honest, I'm liking "Scream Queens" more than this season than "American Horror Story". Do we care who the other Red Devil is at this point? It's just fun to watch these people "out crazy" each other.
