And what an unexpected yet satisfying conclusion it was.

And hes been involved in the scheme for quite some time.

And so it was that Pete killed Roger (or was it Dodger?)

and Boone and Gigi.

(He had to squelch the source of the savagery, after all.)

Pete and your Matthew McConaughey impression.

All together now for old times sake:All right.

Its fitting here and sets Chanel up for the next phase of her reign of terror.

Namely, killing herself.

She sends away for a mail-order asp so she can greet death the same way Cleopatra did.

Gray matter or anchovies?

We may never know.

And what does she and accomplice Zayday find?

NEXT PAGE: Dead End

This is where the finale takes a fun,Usual Suspects-like turn.

Noticeably absent: All of the Chanels.

How they used weapon-of-the-week flashcards to prepare.

How she stole a neck brace from a fellow patient as part of her cover.

Outwardly, however, Hester has to work hard to cast suspicion instead on the Chanels specifically No.

5, who shes accusing of being the Red Devil because Grace and Zayday arent buying it.

First off, Hester explains away her fudged transcript as an attempt to hide her home-schooling background.

She then introduces her CIA/deep-cover parents who moonlight as actors in prostate commercials.

Next she brings in No.

5s parents whom shes convinced to lie and say that No.

Denise Hemphill arriving late to the scene hears the damning evidence and arrests No.

5 on the spot.

Next, Hester calls out No.

3, whom she accuses of killing Deaf Taylor Swift and Predatory Lez.

Or, more accurately, she accuses No.

3s alter ego (No.

3 has a split personality!

), Dirty Helen, of the crime.

3, as well.

(Insert well-oiled-machine joke here.)

Which brings us to the future: May 2016.

The highlight of which is Chad and Denises short-lived romance.

We were chasing waterfalls, Denise tearfully tells Chad as she leaves him for Quantico.

The FBI needs her.

Its premise in three words?

Shell never forget the Bathtub Babys face and knows it was Hester, not No.

5, who was the second Red Devil killer.

And so its the Chanels who are made to pay for Gigi, Boone, and Hesters crimes.

In fact, No.

3 has fallen in love with a lesbian nurse, No.

5 is on meds that make her tolerable, and Chanel has been voted house president.

I guess it depends on how deep the Red Devil shoves that knife into Chanels chest.
