The Suspects

There are a lot of red herrings and everybody points at each other. Pete thinks it was Wes. Wes and Chanel think it was Grace. Chanel, Grace and Wes think it was Dean Munsch. Grace thinks it was Chad or Chanel and Denise thinks it was Zayday. And so on, so everybody is a suspect.

The Killer unmasked

But who is really behind the Red Devil mask? Let’s go back to 1995. The girl who gave birth to a baby in the bathtub was called Sophia Doyle. First Grace thinks she might be the baby, but her mother Mary Mulligan, real name Bethany Stevens was one of the girls present and got pregnant at that party.

But if Grace wasn’t the baby, who was? Others present were Dean Munsch who covered it all up with the help of Ms. Bean. Amy took the baby, but killed herself, so her sister, Jesse Meyer took care of the baby at an abandoned house and was called the Hag of Shady Lane. But she was caught and brought to the Palmer Asylum. Then Jesse changed her name into Gigi Caldwell!! She raised the baby’s as killers. But wait, babies you say? Sophia gave birth to two babies instead of one. Surprise! Not one killer, but two.

We find out that Boone didn’t kill himself, but it was all a set up and that he is one of the babies and one of the Red Devil Killers. The other baby was a girl and is none other than Hester, yes neckbrace Hester who faked it all. She was the brains behind all of it to infiltrate KKT and destroy them completely. While Gigi lost control over them.

But there was another Red Devil and that was none other than Pete. He followed Red Devil Boone after he had killed Shondell and made a pact because Pete wanted to bring down KKT as well and especially Chanel after she had humiliated him. So he killed Roger. But he also killed Boone when Boone wanted him to kill Gigi. But Hester then killed Pete out of revenge.

Boone killed almost everybody, 13 people. Pete killed two people and Hester killed Pete and Gigi only killed the original Red Devil.

There’s anther question that had never been asked before. Who is the father of the twins? It’s none other than Wes, the man slut. And that makes Boone and Hester half siblings of Grace.

But who killed Dean Munsch’s ex and who killed Gigi?

The first question is easily answered. Dean Munsch killed her ex out of revenge. He slept with a student, a real brainless girl, who Munsch then set up for his murder.

The second question is more difficult to answer. Pete and Boone were already dead, so it must have been Hester, right, just as she probably must have placed the bomb on the pizza guy. She was the only one left. Who else could have done it?

And finally

Hester has her cunning plan all figured out. She stabs herself through the eye with a high heal and accuses Chanel No.5 to be the Red Devil, whose parents she has also bribed to betray her. She also has a fake statement from Chanel No.3’s psychologist who says she has a split personality and is a killer. And she bought all the killing tools at the hardware store while impersonating Chanel. So all three Chanels are put behind bars at Palmer Asylum where they surprisingly feel at home.

Zayday becomes president of KKT and Grace vice president and Hester their assistant. But Dean Munsch knows all about Hester, while Hester knows all about Dean Munsch, so they keep quiet. Denise finally gets Chad and Wes gets Munsch. Everybody got what they wanted, they really turned out a happy bunch. All’s well that ends well, right?
