The two-hour finale of "Scream Queens" season 1 did not disappoint as the Red Devil was revealed and the mean girls got what they half-deserved.
In a spoiler for the season finale, Chanel #5 (Abigail Breslin) and Hester (Lea Michele) were the top 2 contenders as the female bathtub twin and indeed, one of them is. During the first hour of "Scream Queens" season 1 finale, it seemed that the show would like viewers to think Chanel #5 is the other Red Devil.
However, that was not before Pete (Diego Boneta), who became an accomplice of the Red Devils, confessed to Grace (Skyler Samuels) that he killed some of the victims. When he was about to tell her who the female bathtub baby was, the killer jumped out of the wardrobe and stabbed Pete to death.
Meanwhile, when Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts) planned to undo the deed that made her the most hated person on campus, she seek the help, or rather commanded Chanel #3 (Billie Lourd) and Chanel #5 to accompany her to fake apologize to the former Kappa Kappa Tau president, Melanie Dorkus (Brianne Howey).
Before the three Chanels went to Melanie's house and while they were there, #5 was acting all too nervous it would make anyone suspicious about her actions, especially when she left the Dorkus mansion with a sly smile.
Meanwhile, Grace and Zayday (Keke Palmer) were bent on finding out who the real bathtub baby was by sneaking in to Dean Munsch's quarters to check the list of students. With the help of Grace's father, Wes (Oliver Hudson), the two were able to single out one KKT member.
Chanel Oberlin thought Melanie was the Red Devil so she tried to kill her but Zayday and Grace arrived in time to stop her from making the mistake. The four went back to the KKT house only to be welcomed by someone screaming upstairs. They grabbed whatever they could to defend themselves in case the Red Devil attacks them.
They found Chanel #5 alone in one room then proceeded to Chanel Oberlin's closet and saw Hester lying on the carpeted floor with a stiletto heel stabbed into her left eye. Before the first hour ended, she pointed at Chanel #5 as the one who stabbed her.
The second hour of the finale started with a time jump showing Zayday as the new president of the KKT while Grace, the vice president. The one-eyed Hester was there too and in a flashback with her voice over, viewers finally found out the truth that Hester is really the bathtub baby.
Almost half of the episode focused on how Hester absurdly framed the three Chanels of being the Red Devils with the new chief police officer, Denise (Niecy Nash), believing her every word. Hester even hired fake parents and got Chanel #5's parents to corroborate her lies.
Even Grace and Zayday, who found out that Hester was the other Red Devil, did not do anything in the end. The three Chanels were arrested and sentenced to stay in the same asylum where Hester lived almost all her life. In the end, as Chanel Oberlin tucks herself to sleep, the Red Devil appeared once more and motioned to stab her.
Will Chanel Oberlin be back in season 2? Lea Michele confirmed that Hester will be but did not confirm which from the survivors is coming back with her, TV Series Finale reported. The actress said that if the remaining actors are casted for season 2, they will be playing the same characters.
Ryan Murphy plans a completely different plot for "Scream Queens" season 2 and so, Michele said, viewers will never see the Red Devil again.
