Ep 1. Scream Again

The episode opens with a flashback set in 1985, where we see a pregnant woman being rushed to the hospital. The woman gives birth to a baby boy, but before she can meet her child, she is brutally attacked by a green-masked killer and dies.

Flash forward to present day, where we see Chanel #1 (Emma Roberts) as a successful TV personality and author. We also see the return of Dean Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis), who has now opened a hospital, where she hopes to cure rare and deadly diseases. The hospital has been previously owned by a great Hollywood legend and is, therefore, a luxurious facility.

As Dean Munsch gives a tour of the hospital, we meet new characters, including Dr. Cascade (Taylor Lautner), a hunky anesthesiologist; Dr. Holt (John Stamos), a brilliant plastic surgeon; and the quirky Nurse Hoffel (Kirstie Alley). However, things take a dark turn when a patient dies in the hospital under suspicious circumstances.

Chanel #1, now a medical student, and her former Zayday (Keke Palmer) team up to investigate the patient's death and find that the hospital is not as it seems. They discover that there is a killer on the loose, dressed in the same green mask that killed the pregnant woman from the flashback.

As the episode progresses, we get to know more about the different characters and their potential motives for being the killer. Along with the new cast, the show also brings back some of the original series' favorite characters, including the scene-stealing Hester (Lea Michele), who is now behind bars for her crimes in Season 1.

The episode is full of suspense, humor, and nods to classic horror films. The writing is sharp, and the performances by the talented cast are excellent. The hospital setting adds a new dimension to the show, and the mystery surrounding the identity of the killer keeps the audience on their toes throughout the episode.

Overall, Scream Queens' Season 2 Episode 1 "Scream Again" is a strong start to the season, and it sets the tone for what is bound to be another wild ride full of twists, turns, and toe-curling screams. Fans of the show and lovers of horror-comedy will not be disappointed.
