Because they failed to show up, this prompts Chanel to write an mean email to the Chanels and Zayday.
Dorkus[]
It is now revealed that Chanel's mean email to her Kappa sisters has been leaked and went viral as she is now known as "the most hated woman in America". Because of this, Chanel decides the only way to end her public shaming is if she kills herself. Zayday comes into Chanel's bedroom to stop her from using an asp snake to kill herself with. However, it was revealed to be a garter snake wearing a sweater to look like an asp. Zayday then comforts Chanel as both agree to work as co-presidents to keep Kappa running. However, the Red Devil walks in and attacks them, but they both fight to stop him. However he notices the snake and begins to panic and Zayday knocks him on to the floor and rips off his mask, but neither off them recognize the attacker. They tie him up and bring him downstairs as the Chanels come down to witness the man.

They discovered that one of them took courses in all the stuff needed to be the killer and lied about her high school application and they go to find the Chanels and manage to stop Chanel from killing Melanie Dorkus, (since Chanel thinks Melanie is the killer), and have proof that Hester is the real killer.
The Final Girl(s)[]
In a flashfoward to January 2016, it is revealed that Zayday is now Kappa president while Grace is vice president. They have begun a winter semester rush after the unfortunate events during last fall's semester. They introduce Hester, whom now wears an eyepatch and no longer wears her neckbrace. Hester goes into a voiceover revealing that she was the real Red Devil killer.
During Hester's flashbacks, it shows Hester befriending Zayday and Grace, with Zayday thinking that her neckbrace was cool. Back to the flashfoward, it is revealed (continuing with the voiceover) that Hester sees Grace and Zayday as her only family, especially because Grace is her biological half-sister and she is aware that Wes is her father, even if they do not know it. She is also happy that there is no more Chanels at Kappa and had to have someone to take the blame.
In the present, Hester is rushed to the hospital from the heel in her eye in order to get away with murder, and continues to pin the blame on #5. While Chanel and the others interrogate #5 as it is revealed that #3 and #5 used to be roommates in the house and she used to confess secrets in her sleep. This causes Chanel to believe that #5 murdered #2 and confessed it after having sex with Roger and Dodger, causing her to kill them. Chanel promises to have #5 executed as Denise walks in and reveals that the deceased body of Boone was found. However Grace reveals that they already knew that Pete killed him and goes on to say that #5 is not the killer because the real killer is Hester. Hester then walks into the house and reveals that there is no major damage on her eye, but Grace is adamant that Hester is the killer as she brings up her fake high school, but she lies saying that she was embarrassed because she was homeschooled. Grace continues to reveal that Pete revealed that Hester and Boone shared the same DNA, but Hester justifies that Pete could not be trusted because he confessed to being a killer and points to #5 as his partner in crime.
Hester's "parents" then arrive and it is made clear that they are actors that she hired to pretend to be her parents in order to take the scent off her. Chanel #5's parents arrive to reveal that she was adopted and that they were asked by Gigi to take care off her. It is revealed two weeks before, Hester had a meeting with #5's parents whom wanted to disown her ever since she learned how to talk. Denise then places Chanel #5 under arrest, but Hester stops her and reveals Chanel #3 as the other killer. It is revealed that the night Tiffany DeSalle died, she disappeared from the White Stallion because she had stomach issues and refused to use the bar's bathroom because it was disgusting. So she went back to Kappa house to use the bathroom. It is revealed that Hester drugged her drink before she was buried up to her neck. Hester then accuses her off murdering Sam because she saw someone running away wearing earmuffs. Hester then goes on to reveal that #3 receives letters from her father, Charles Manson, on how to kill her friends. One of the letters references an idea to strap a bomb to a pizza delivery guy. It is revealed that #3 has a split personality called "dirty Helen" whom goes to see a psychologist whom she threatened. Chanel #3 then believes that her split personality may be one of the killers. Denise then places #3 under arrest, but Hester does not end there as she pins Chanel for being a killer too as she has security footage of her buying the murder weapons at home improvement, but in reality it was Hester disguised as Chanel.
Zayday then mentions that Chanel killed Ms. Bean, but a flashback reveals Hester was the one who turned on the fryer. #3 mentions that Chanel also tried to kill Melanie. Chanel confesses her innocence by saying that if she was really a killer then she would have killed Grace and Zayday by now, which Hester points out by noting that she did not to cover up her tracks and Denise arrests Chanel and calls in back-up to have them taken away.
Five months later and it is revealed that the Chanels got arrested without bail and Hester, Zayday, and Grace had a memorial built to remember those who were mudered when Dean Munsch approaches them to congratulate them on the memorial piece. When Grace and Zayday leave, Cathy reveals that she knew that the killer was Hester because she recognized her as the baby in the bathtub. Hester goes on to reveal that she would never kill again and that people like the Chanels are the reason why the Greek system fails. Cathy then says that she is going to turn her in but Hester blackmails her for the cover up of her mother, so Cathy decides to turn the other cheek.

Later, Zayday, Brock and Cassidy are seen tending to Catherine Hobart, a woman with Hypertrichosis, and Zayday assures her that she will have a normal life, like everyone else. The other two claim that there is nothing that they can do for Catherine's condition, but Zayday is adamant that they try harder.

They claim that they now work at the hospital and are now medical students, after Cathy gave them a job, however Zayday manages to put aside her feelings towards them and takes them to see their work clothes, but they refuse to wear it, when Dr. Brock appears naked in the shower, exciting Chanel and making her now get ready to wear the clothes that she initially refused, only to get half-naked for Brock to see her. Cathy then appears and introduces the Chanels to Brock. Cathy then goes over their job roles.
