"Dorkus" is the twelfth episode of the horror black comedy series Scream Queens. It premiered on December 8, 2015 on Fox and was shown back to back with the season's final episode, "The Final Girl(s)". The episode was directed by Bradley Buecker and written by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan. In this episode, along with Chanel's spiraling down life, Grace gets important information about the identity of the last, and the main, Red Devil.
The episode was watched by 2.53 million viewers and received mixed to positive reviews from critics.
The episode opens with Pete (Diego Boneta) confessing to Grace (Skyler Samuels) that he has been helping the Red Devils commit murder. He'd crossed paths with them during the events of Hell Week, as he had been outside of the sorority house the night that Denise (Niecy Nash)'s friend Shondell (Deneen Tyler) was murdered, and had agreed to help them in exchange for his own life. Pete tries to justify himself by claiming that this helped him accomplish his task of bringing down the Greek system at the college and that Grace herself had even expressed some thoughts to this extent. This horrifies Grace and just as she's about to leave Pete tells her that he's discovered the identity of the remaining Red Devil, who is one of the Chanels. However before he can tell her the specific person he is murdered by the remaining, unknown Red Devil, leaving Grace to fight the final devil and trying to unmask them. However, her failed attempt forces her to flee.
Meanwhile, many students have return to campus to jeer Chanel (Emma Roberts), after she sent out a scathing e-mail rant to the other sorority members, calling them multiple curse words and insulting them for not showing up to help murder Dean Cathy Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis). As the remaining murderer is one of the Chanels, she forwards the e-mail to the entire campus, causing it to go viral across the country. As she feels her reputation is ruined, in a fit of despair, she tries to kill herself using a mail ordered snake, only for it to end up being a harmless garter snake. Zayday discovers Chanel and tries to convince her that this isn't the end and that she can still change. As Chanel begins to thank Zayday for her advice, the two are attacked by a pizza delivery guy in a Red Devil costume. They manage to fight him off. They take him downstairs, where the rest of the Chanels arrive. Hester (Lea Michele) claims that she saw a girl with burned skin carrying a shovel, but this was dismissed immediately by Chanel to focus on the pizza delivery man. The man claims that he was forced to attack them by an unknown woman and that he has dynamite strapped to his body. Upon realizing the bomb, the girls run away and hide from the man as it goes off, killing him.
