"Chainsaw" is the third episode of the horror black comedy series Scream Queens. It premiered on September 29, 2015 on Fox. The episode was both directed and written by Ian Brennan. In this episode, the Red Devil continues the terror on campus using a chainsaw. Chanel (Emma Roberts) finds a new project in Hester (Lea Michele), and Dean Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis) appoints a new Wallace University mascot while trying to separate Gigi (Nasim Pedrad) and Wes (Oliver Hudson)'s budding relationship as Chad (Glen Powell) and Earl Grey (Lucien Laviscount) lead their fraternity on a witch hunt for the Red Devil.
The episode was watched by 3.46 million viewers and received mixed to positive reviews from critics, most of them citing it as an improvement from the two previous episodes.
Grace (Skyler Samuels) and Zayday (Keke Palmer) are at the supermarket to buy food for Kappa. Grace sees the Red Devil running towards her and she tazes him and Zayday knocks the shelves to stop him. It is revealed that he is someone from Zayday's class who just tried to scare them. Due to Chanel #2 (Ariana Grande)'s mysterious "absence", Zayday and Grace enter her room and find a blood stain, while Denise (Niecy Nash) enters and confirms it. That leads them to think that she was murdered, but Chanel #2 is still posting pictures on her Instagram from an unknown location. They decide to visit her parents in Bel Air, California to find out what happened. They tell her parents, Dr. Herfmann (Roger Bart) and Mrs. Herfmann (Charisma Carpenter) that she is missing but is still posting pictures. It is revealed that her real name is Sonya. Her parents reveal that she had a drinking problem and she used to date Chad Radwell (Glen Powell) (later it was revealed that every Chanel had dated/hooked-up with him behind Chanel (Emma Roberts)'s back). They tell them that Sonya got better when she dated Chad. They also show them that Chad wrote her a letter. They tell Zayday, Grace, and Denise to find her and tell her not to go home ever again.
