Dean Munsch closes the university campus and institutes a curfew on Halloween night, automatically cancelling Chanel's pumpkin patch party. Chanel decides to break the rules and changes her party to November 1. Hester/Chanel #6 convinces Chanel #5 to destroy Chanel.
In class, Chanel is arrested for the murder of Ms. Bean. She is bailed out by Chanel #3 and Sam "Predatory Lesbian". As punishment for the setup, Chanel forces #5 to light all of the Jack-o'-lanterns in the pumpkin patch on Halloween night, knowing that the Red Devil will be out there. With no choice, she lights all the pumpkins with her boyfriends. The Red Devil appears with hedge shears behind #5 when she's lighting a pumpkin, and all of them run into the maze.
Zayday is revealed to be held hostage in a hole under the Red Devil's lair and is rescued by Gigi, who tases The Red Devil.
Back at Kappa house, Zayday tells the Kappas that The Red Devil let her out of the hole, gave her roses and presented her with her favorite food before she stabbed the Red Devil in the hand with a fork and escaped. Later that night, Gigi meets with the Red Devil, and reprimands him for the sloppiness of the Zayday incident, and giving him instructions for the next murder.
