- Hi, I'm Chucky.
Andy Warhol once said
just because something's
been thrown away
doesn't make it garbage.
- Wasn't Warhol gay too?
- What is going on?
- Lexy's new GoFundMe.
- Here you go, Wheeler.
Don't spend it all in one place.
- Okay if I sit here?
- Yeah.
I'm in the talent show tomorrow.
- You should come.
- I'll check it out.
And is that Jake Wheeler?
Now's your chance to tell Dev
and his mom what you really think.
You just care that they know I'm a fag!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
I'm your friend till the end.
You get that now, Jake.
We all have our secrets.
I really need to see you.
Can I call you tomorrow?
Right, Bree?
[LAUGHTER]
Dad?
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]
- What are we calling it?
- Death by misadventure.
For now.
You really are Charles Lee Ray.
Now, let's talk about that bitch Lexy.

- Good morning, Hackenslashers.
-
- It's October 31st.
In most cities, Halloween means
ghosts and goblins, candy and costumes,
a night when young and old alike
can give free expression
to their inner ids
from magical unicorns
to slutty zombies.
But here in Hackensack,
Halloween also means
bloodshed and butchery.
That's because, historically speaking,
violence in our fair city
has always spiked on Halloween.
Maybe it's because we celebrate it
all day long here.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Remember the year a group of
deranged trick-or-treaters
broke into the Candy
Emporium downtown?
It wasn't pretty.
And who can forget just last year,
when Ms. Fairchild sliced
her hand carving pumpkins?
She ended up with 15 stitches.
Plus, this year,
Halloween just happens
to fall on a full moon,
another sign of doom and destruction.
So tonight, Hackenslashers,
be on the lookout
for all kinds of shit
to really hit the fan.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
♪♪
You okay back there, buddy?
Yeah, it's just My seat's hot.
Oh, Jake, I'm sorry.
You can turn that down.
There's a switch over
there on the right.
You know, long periods of exposure
can cause second-degree burns.
It's called Toasted Skin Syndrome.
That's ridiculous.
Look it up. It happens.
Not in a Lexus, it doesn't.
Jake, don't pay any
attention to him, sweetheart.
Remind me, what's your
protein intake this week?
Uh, 50 grams a day?
Oof, you should bump that up to 75.
But Dad, state's not till the 15th.
Plus, I'm not a sprinter,
and I only weighed 105 this morning.
We don't want you getting injured
a week before the most
important race of your life.
Just have a Clif Bar before lunch, okay?
Okay.
♪♪
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
♪♪
Have a good day at school, Junior.
Still with the nightmares?
You can take another
week if you need it.
No, I actually think, at
this point, that it's better
that I get out of the house.
Jake, aren't you comfortable with us?
You can be honest.
No. I mean, I am comfortable.
Anyway, you guys have been really great.
I appreciate it.
I should go.
Hey, Jake?
Yeah?
For lunch.
Have a good day.
It's gonna take more than that.
[INDISTINCT WHISPERING]
Why is he back at school?
What happened to his dad?
Did you see what he did with that doll?
Hey, Jake, good to see you back.
- How you doing?
- Hey, Oliver.
- I'm okay.
- You didn't miss much.
Ms. F dropped a pop quiz,
and then Junior's pissed
about what you said about me and Lex.
- You mean what Chucky said.
- Right.
That shit was hilarious.
Look, Jake, I just wanted
to express my condolences.
- Thanks.
- And I wanted to apologize
for every time I ever gave you shit.
That was not cool. I'm really sorry.
Okay.
I'm having a party tonight,
and I think it'd be really
good for you if you came.
- A Halloween party?
- Yep.
Costumes, Coronas, and candy,
and we're not talking M&Ms.
My parents are in
London for the weekend,
so it's gonna be sick.
- I don't have a costume.
- It's all right.
Just bring Chucky.
They should have
suspended his Walmart ass.
And they totally would
have if your idiot uncle
hadn't stuck his finger
in the freaking toaster.
He was a drunk.
He was like an accident
waiting to happen.
It's actually really sad.
Yeah, it really is. So sad.
But, you know,
fuck Jake Wheeler with a chainsaw.
You're not the only one, okay?
I mean, what about what he said
to my mom "you got a secret"?
That's some creepy shit.
Anyway, McVey told him
he can't bring that thing
to school anymore.
It's disruptive, so I
guess that's something.
- [SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
- I just can't believe
Oliver's actually
inviting him to the party.
So what are you wearing tonight?
You'll see.
I don't know. What if I'm not into it?
I wasn't aware I had
to get your approval.
Did you get Oliver's approval?
I might if you keep pushing me.
Sorry, sorry.
So what is it?
Hot Hermione? Hot Hit-Girl?
Hot harlot?
Down, bae. It's a surprise.
But I promise you it's gonna be hot.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Jake.
I'm sorry.
Thanks. I really appreciate it.
- I've been thinking about you.
- You have?
About what you've been going through.
You know, my dad died when I was nine.
Yeah, I remember.
I think the worst part is
what it did to me and my mom.
When I was little, we were super close,
but now we barely even talk.
I think I remind her of him, you know?
♪♪
Look, the point is, I would have never
gotten through it without my friends.
Look, we don't know
each other very well.
We don't know each other at all.
You going to Oliver's party tonight?
I think so, yeah.
Awesome. Bringing Chucky?
- I don't know.
- Why not?
You two really killed the other night.

but Annie really was
a part of this family.
Bree, I'm so sorry.
What was her home address?
Oh, this is embarrassing.
Um, she lived on the south side?
She always took the bus in.
Okay. What about next of kin, family?
Anybody we should notify?
I don't think she had
anyone besides us, did she?
She has a brother, I think.
He lives in D.C Baltimore.
- Okay, we'll check it out.
- How could this happen?
♪♪
Well, turns out it happens
more often than you think.
Happened to a woman up in
Vancouver just last year.
Some people will load
the knives blade up
'cause they think it'll get it cleaner.
It's a fallacy, by the way.
All it takes is one little slip.
Or one little push.
- Sean.
- What are you saying?
Well, I'm just saying,
this is the second "freak
accident" in this town
in less than a week,
and your nephew has had
a ringside seat for both.
- Sean.
- What?
But we know from all
the door cam footage
that no one set foot inside this house
before the boys got home from school.
Annie must have been dead
before they came through that door.
Unless they're covering for each other.
Sean, please, let me handle this, okay?
Handle what?
Yes, what exactly are you saying?
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Look, I'm sorry to have to ask you this,
but did Jake have any issues with Annie?
- What?
- No!
That's ridiculous.
He barely even knew her.
I mean, they just met last week.
Well, I don't know.
Maybe she resented having
to deal with someone new.
No. Annie was a saint.
She welcomed him with open arms
like she did everyone.
- What about Junior?
- What?
Bree, I have to ask.
Junior loved Annie!
She practically raised him.

Swear to God I didn't kill her.

Come on, Jake, you gotta believe me!
I'm your friend till the end.
Get fucked with that shit.
I'm not six years old. Give me that.

Gotta say, writing's not your forte.
- Stick to sculpture.
- Fuck you.
You should just call it
"Devon, Devon, Devon."
[LAUGHS]
Shut up.
You know, I have a queer kid.
You have a kid?
Genderfluid.
And you're cool with it?
I'm not a monster, Jake.
No, you are. You killed Annie!
Come on, man. Think.
Why would I kill Annie?
You and me, we only kill
people who have it coming.
No. No, I don't kill anyone.
And I don't want you
to kill anyone else.
It wasn't me! Accidents happen, Jake.
More often than murder, and
way more often than murders
committed by
supernaturally-possessed dolls.
That's just basic math.
And let me remind you
that I could have killed
anybody in this house
during the last week at any time,
including you.
- So why haven't you?
- I told you.
I'm trying to help you.
Look around, kid!
Take a good look at where you are.
A long way from that
shithole you used to live in
with that shitheel who liked
using you for a punching bag.
I'm the one friend you got, Jake.
And I'm telling you,
I did not kill the damn housekeeper.
I got my sights set on bigger game.
Chucky, no.
You of all people should know
some people deserve to die.

♪♪
You heard what they
said. It was an accident.
No, what I heard was that
it was an astronomical coincidence,
the chances of which actually happening
are about a billion to one.
We watched him grow up.
He's not a violent kid.
He's just traumatized.
We're all traumatized.
I mean, are we even qualified
to look after a boy like this?
A boy like what?
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Okay.
You yourself said many
times that you were worried
that your brother was
a bad influence on him,
especially after Mary died.
Logan, we don't have a clue
what's going on in his head.
We could say the same for Junior.
No one knows what's going
on inside their heads.
Bree, they're teenagers.
You know exactly what
Junior is thinking,
24 hours a day, consciously
or unconsciously,
and it's pleasing you.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
You're pushing him too hard, Logan.
I'm worried about him.

Baby, can you remember his name?
- Chucky.
- Yes, that's right.
Caroline, would you maybe
like to meet Chucky sometime?
I bet your sister
could make that happen.
What?
Oh, no, I'd be too scared.
- Why, honey?
- What if he doesn't like me?
Why are you encouraging this?
That thing belongs to Jake Wheeler.
And I'm sorry, but did you not hear him
talking shit about
me at the talent show?
Honey, you're overreacting.
It was a joke!
In a way, you should be flattered.
The whole thing was all about you.
Oh, Dad, that's fucking awesome.
I'm just so thrilled you
all found it so amusing.
As usual, you both totally
ignore what's going on with me.
It's called bullying. He's a bully.
Who's a bully? Chucky?
No. No, honey, he's not.
Give me a break.
Will you take a look at this?
Here, sweetie.
It's hideous.
Lexy, your sister has a gift,
and she's better at this
than you've ever been
at anything in your entire life.
- Michelle!
- No, I'm sorry.
I just can't take her attitude anymore.
It breaks my heart.
Your sister adores you.
She barely knows I exist.
And it's obvious neither do you guys.

To get ready for Oliver's party.
No, you're taking your
sister trick-or-treating.
