Chanel and #5 discover that #2 is no longer in the freezer. So either she is now a zombie or someone has stolen her corpse – perhaps whoever stole Ms. Beans corpse. #5 has more important things on her mind: she recently had a threesome with a pair of golf-frat douche brothers, and this has given her the confidence to tell Chanel she doesnt want to be a minion. Later in the episode, Chanel gives Hester a makeover and dubs her Chanel #6, which pisses off the two remaining Chanel minions.
A Take Back the Night rally, hosted by the dean, is a failure when she introduces the schools new, more appropriate mascot: Coney the soft-serve ice cream cone. The school is underwhelmed by such a lame mascot, but the kid in the costume (who we never see) loves it. He can flirt with girls and grab their asses, and they are flattered instead of being litigious. Of course, not everyone likes Coney, including the Red Devil. He waits for Coney in his dorm room and the two have a brief, but amusing mascot battle. It ends with Red Devil chainsawing Coney dead. We never see who is inside the costume.
Zayday and Grace hit up a convenience store for food when they see the Red Devil. Grace tazers him, and Zayday knocks a shelf onto him. Turns out he is just some scared kid from Zaydays poly sci class. So they didnt catch the killer, but they decided that #2 has been missing for too long, and want to find her. Chanel said that #2 had a breakdown and went home to Bel Air. It sounds plausible since #2 is still Instagramming, but a stain on her bedroom floor proves to be blood, and Denise points out that her last Tweet says she was about to be killed by the Red Devil. The girls decide the only sane thing to do is go visit #2s parents. At their castle-like mansion, #2s parents (great to see Charisma Carpenter back on TV) havent heard from her and fear she is drinking again. If that is the case, they dont want her to return home. The girls find a letter to #2 from Chad, showing that the two were sleeping together, a fact which shocks poor, naive Grace.
Classes begin and Grace is stunned to discover that her dad (an English lit teacher) is teaching her Intro to Film Analysis class. He rigged it so he could keep an eye on her. She storms out, and Wes begins his class by showing what he believes to be the greatest film of all time: Texas Chainsaw Massacre. During the film, I think one student vomited. When it is over, the entire class sits in stunned silence. I honestly dont believe that in a film class – even an intro-level class – no one has seen TCM and everyone would be so shocked by it. But whatever. Wes mumbles some nonsense about how everyone is running from chainsaws in their lives, then dismisses the class. Gigi sneaked in towards the end of class and after, compliments his lecture and they make plans to go out for salads (better than coffee; not as much pressure as dinner). Dean Munsch comes in to check up on Wes and sees he and Gigi being chummy. She tells Gigi to meet her at the tennis courts later so they can chat. It is there that the dean declares the two women should move into the Kappa house as role models to the girls.
Though #3 insists she isnt a lesbian, she is strangely drawn to Sam, and begs for Sam to be her confidante. She agrees, and #3 reveals that her mother is crazy and used to set up conjugal visits with murderers, despite having a billionaire husband at home. She was the result of one of these visits: her biological father is Charles Manson. #3 believes if anyone knew she was Mansons daughter, they would assume she is the killer.
Chad is the smartest idiot in the Dickey Dollar Scholars club, and he insists that, despite what the coroners report says, Boone didnt commit suicide. His brilliant idea is to get steroided up, take baseball bats into the street, and yell for the Red Devil until he shows himself. So that is what they do. They are all dressed in white, which makes them look like rich, preppy droogs (from A Clockwork Orange) and hit the street. They beat up a red fire hydrant and a red car before the Red Devil finally shows himself. But then there is a second Red Devil. Both wield chainsaws, and the brothers split up and take on the devils. Their wooden baseball bats are no match for the chainsaw, and it ends with one brother having both his arms cut off and left to die beside Chad, who in all likelihood is just knocked out, not dead.
The dean and Gigi move into the Kappa house, much to Chanels chagrin. Both women have salad dinner with Wes. It is incredibly awkward, and Wes bails early when Zayday admits that Grace isnt upstairs, despite what her phone GPS says. Wes goes outside to call her, and she promises she is at the library. In reality, she and Pete are at a gas station, filling up on their way out of town to speak to the one woman they were able to track down from the list Pete found in the deans office. Grace is convinced that the baby who was born in the Kappa house twenty years ago grew up to be the Red Devil, and right now, she believes that to be Chad. They are on their way to visit the woman in hopes of getting answers.
I am fairly convinced that Grace is the baby who was born in that bathtub, and I assumed that from the moment she appeared on screen. I didnt even think the producers were trying to hide that fact, but now I am wondering: are we not supposed to know that Grace is the bathtub baby? Or are we supposed to laugh at all the wrong guesses that Grace and the cast make, while the audience sits there, smirking, because we know the answer?
In any case, Wes waits outside in his car for Grace. Gigi and the dean are roommates this week, but the deans impossibly loud white noise machine sends Gigi to sleep on the couch. She is barely comfortable when the Red Devil appears, chasing her around the living room with a chainsaw. Wes comes running when he hears her screams, and takes a nick in the arm. Gigi knocks the Red Devil over the couch. The girls clamor downstairs, and Gigi sends them back up. She and Wes peer over the couch. The devil is gone; just a humming chainsaw in his place. Then the dean comes downstairs. Wes uses the chainsaw to hold the dean hostage – he believes she is the killer.
