• Dean Cathy Munsch : I do have something that might be of interest to you about that night in the tub. There were two babies, a boy and a girl. Twins. After I sent your mother and her two slightly-less-bitchy friends out to get pillow cases and shovels, the girl in the tub let out a death rattle that was so loud and powerful that she expelled a second child from her freshly dead womb.

  Grace Gardner : I knew it!

  Dean Cathy Munsch : Congratulations... on making this moment all about you.

• Zayday Williams : If you came here to apologize, we're not interested.

  Dean Cathy Munsch : Oh, I never say I'm sorry. I've done what I had to do for the sake of this school and my career, both of which will be here long after you or any of the students here are gone, either through graduation or death.

  Grace Gardner : I am shocked that your husband left you.

You remember Grace, right? From Season 1? Well, it turns out she’s doing swimmingly at Stanford, where she’s currently pursuing her master’s degree in… something. Her relationship with her dad, on the other hand, could use some work — a fact we learned, among other gross things, when he checked himself into the C.U.R.E. Institute.

Since last we saw Wes Gardner, he’s kept busy with a full schedule of growing a beard, sleeping with Dean Munsch, and writing a wildly unsuccessful book about the history of quarters. Oh, he also started eating his own hair, resulting in a giant fur ball that needed to be surgically removed.

And here’s the kicker: During a late-night garbage run, Chamberlain accidentally opened the bag containing Wes’ fur ball and discovered — wait for it — a piece of the Green Meanie costume! His fears were confirmed when a follow-up visit to Wes’ apartment resulted in his own death by stabbing. (R.I.P.!)

Fortunately for the audience, Wes laid out his entire evil scheme before shanking the Institute’s best candy striper: It turns out Grace is actually at Stanford Mental Asylym, a direct result of everything the Chanels put her through back in Season 1. Like any good father, Wes decided to piggyback off the Green Meanie, murder the Chanels and blame it on one of the other costumed killers. (Ladies and gentlemen, with just two episodes left, this season has finally gotten interesting.)

Elsewhere this week…

* In order to help bridge Chanel and Dr. Holt’s relationship-crippling age gap, Hester proposed (1) that she and the other Chanels educate their leader on Brock’s generation, and (2) that they host an elaborate dinner party to show how much she’s learned. Unsurprisingly, the plan blew up in the girls’ collective face, as they greatly overestimated Brock’s age. (Needless to say, he did not enjoy his World War II-themed party.)

* Detective Zayday did some sniffing around this week, and with the help of a handy-loving costume store owner, she traced the Green Meanie costume back to Jane Hollis (aka Cassidy’s mom). She says her psychotic brother wore it to go on a killing spree on the anniversary of Jane’s husband’s death — then died a year later at the hands of a roller-derby team. And now, poor Zayday is her prisoner.

Just as the show’s first season ended with Chad Radwell someone in a Red Devil costume scaring Chanel in the mental hospital, so too did the second season finale conclude with a reunion between Ms. Oberlin and the series’ original spookster. This time, the Devil appeared in the backseat of Chanel’s Range Rover — per her license plate, she is RICH AG[ai]N — and came bearing a gift: a sparkly little box marked with the Kappa Kappa Tau insignia.

The 10 Worst Shows of 2016

So, who was lurking beneath all that latex this time? Since we may never get an answer on screen — given the ratings this season, a renewal is looking pretty unlikely — we’re left to speculate on our own.

The obvious guess is Grace, who now has two reasons for wanting Chanel dead: Not only did Grace suffer a mental breakdown as a result of everything she experienced in Season 1, but her father also died while seeking revenge on her behalf. (Before you say anything, I know that neither of those things are actually Chanel’s fault, but we’re going with Scream Queens logic here, in which Chanel takes the blame for pretty much everything.)

Then again, because we’re using Scream Queens logic, it really could be anyone. Maybe Nurse Hoffel didn’t die in that quicksand. Maybe Hester got bored on Murder Island and returned to familiar stabbing grounds. Or maybe it’s someone we haven’t met yet, a deranged fan of talk-show hostess Chanel.
