About halfway through the life of Glee, the reliability with which the show would run "message episodes" became something of an inside joke among viewers. All manner of hot topics got dedicated storylines, and people who tuned in for the Ryan Murphy/Brad Falchuk/Ian Brennan brand of dark humor felt the show got too saccharine when it was doing the Good Work. But to hell with the cynics, because awareness is necessary, and last night on Scream Queens Fox Force Murphy pulled its big righteous message sword back out to do some cutting. In a scene that started with a gaggle of Kappa Kappa Tau sisters eating cotton balls to stay thin, a painfully archetypal frat bro approaches the girls and asks which one he will be wearing as a Halloween costume this year. Naturally, the Chanels are having none of this and do not let him get away without paying for his disrespect. In a rare turn, Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts) chooses sisters over misters and starts lining out the bro for reducing her and her friends to a bunch of sex dolls. Once his buddy weighs in to ask why they can't just be chill girls with senses of humor, their fates become sealed as Hester Ulrich (Lea Michele) delivers a swift blow to misogyny and his manhood, inciting an ass-whooping from the ruling elite of KKT. Be warned, dudes. These girls might have drama behind walk-in closet doors, but when they’re out in the world they take care of their own.
