Recap / Chucky S 1 E 8 An Affair To Dismember

Go To

After finally convincing a child to kill, Chucky’s diabolical plan can finally be put into action. It’s a race against the clock for Jake, Lexy, and Devon to stop him and save the people of Hackensack.


Tropes in this episode include:

  • Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Nica pleads with Junior and Tiffany not to off her. She also later begs the latter not to inject her with a syringe.
  • An Arm and a Leg: Tiffany cuts off Nica's arms and legs to make sure the Chucky in her body can't ever attack her, much to her horror.
  • Batter Up!: Andy attacks the decapitated Chucky with a bat before it can kill Devon.
  • Big "NO!": When she sees Andy driving away with the truckload of Chuckys, Tiffany exclaims "NO!".
  • Bittersweet Ending: Chucky's plan is thwarted, but Junior dies after turning against Chucky, thus making Jake a complete orphan. Andy is also intercepted by Tiffany's possessed doll. Lexy and Caroline's father is also dead, with the latter insistently asking where he was.
  • Blood from the Mouth:
    • Upon being killed by Chucky, some blood exits Nathan's mouth.
    • Before dying (courtesy of Junior), blood leaks out of a Chucky doll's mouth.
  • Boom, Headshot!: Kyle does this to the Chucky that's cornered Jake and Lexy.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: After the credits, Chucky directly speaks to the viewers and tallies up his number of kills in the first season. However, he preferred to leave how he killed the cat to the audience's imagination.
  • Call-Back:
    • Other than guns, Chucky says he can't stand fire, axes, and large industrial fans.
    • The Chucky doll and Nica Chucky reminisce about killing Andy's babysitter.
    • After The Reveal, the head of the lead Chucky doll says to Tiffany almost the exact same thing he said in the beginning of the first movie as his dying vow.
      Chucky: I’M GONNA GET YOU FOR IT! I’M GONNA GET YOU! ONE OF ME’S GONNA GET YOU! NO MATTER WHAT!
    • Right after this, Tiffany shoots back with something similar that she said to him back in Bride of Chucky.
      Tiffany: It’s like my mother always said; “If you love somebody, set them free”. Well, I’m setting us both free, Chucky. ¡Vaya Con Díos! See You in Hell!
    • Tiffany states that she got the bomb from Glenda, marking this the first time they've been mentioned by name.
    • Just like at the climax of the original film, the decapitated Chucky manages to remotely will his body into movement.
  • Can't Kill You, Still Need You: After regaining control of Nica, Chucky tries to kill Tiffany in revenge while she cries that he still needs her for the plan, but Chucky doesn't care and is only stopped by the timely arrival of the doll Chucky who agrees with Tiffany that she's still needed.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Chucky kills several people at the charity event by apparently stabbing his knife up their rectums from below their seats.
  • Death by Irony: As a human, Chucky was known as the Lakeshore Strangler, one of his doll forms meets his end via strangulation by Jake.
  • Eating the Eye Candy: After being picked up by Tiffany, Chucky stares at her breasts.
  • Evil Gloating: Chucky gloats to Jake while trying to kill him.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: When asked by his clone army if there's an age limit on who they can kill at the charity event, Chucky informs them, "No babies! We're not savages!" The clones then start to argue the semantics of what counts as a "baby" until the lead Chucky sets a fine line of "nobody under six".
  • Extra-Long Episode: This episode is 60 minutes instead of the usual 40.
  • Eye Scream: Jake strangles Chucky's neck so hard that Chucky's eyes pop out of his head.
  • Flipping the Bird: As he drives away with the truck filled with Chuckys, Andy gives Tiffany the finger.
  • "Here's Johnny!" Homage: At one point, Chucky slices through the curtain with a knife and pokes through it while saying, "Heeere's Chucky!"
  • He's Not My Boyfriend: Lexy calls Devon Jake's boyfriend, which Jake initially denies. He later does refer to Devon as his boyfriend, though.
  • Hope Spot: Andy manages to hijack the truck of Chucky dolls, seemingly preventing Chucky and Tiffany's plan, only for the Tiffany doll to pop up behind him with a gun.
  • I'll Kill You!: Tiffany once stated "I'll kill you."
  • Instant Sedation: Tiffany sedates Nica, knocking her out instantly.
  • Losing Your Head: Although it doesn't kill him, Tiffany beheads one Chucky doll.
  • Mutual Kill: Junior kills a Chucky doll to save Lexy, but is fatally stabbed himself.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: When asked by one of his Hive Mind dolls on age limits, Chucky decides to leave out victims aged 5-6 and under, but only because they can be used or corrupted later.
  • Redemption Equals Death: Junior dies after betraying Chucky to save Lexy.
  • The Reveal: This episode drops a bombshell that turns the entire franchise on its head. Remember when Charles Lee Ray died? Turns out, it was Tiffany who called the police on him that night.
  • See You in Hell: Tiffany states to Chucky she'll see him in hell.
  • Shout-Out:
  • Slipping a Mickey: Kyle drugs Jake and Lexy's coffee, knocking them out, to keep them out of danger.
  • The Starscream: Tiffany, enraged that Chucky was trying to coerce Junior into killing Nica, savagely decapitates his lead doll and usurps his operation. She also reveals it wasn't the first time she's betrayed him.
  • Tears of Fear: When Chucky orders Tiffany to off her, Nica cries fearfully.
  • Uncertain Doom: While Devon and Andy are confirmed to have survived the explosion at Chucky's house, Kyle isn't directly shown alive. A hand wearing a glove like hers is shown perched against a tree as someone watches the teens at Junior's grave, but it isn't outright shown to be her, and Chucky includes her in his kill count at the end of the episode.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Upon learning his first death was caused by Tiffany, Chucky flips out.
  • Wham Episode:
    • Tiffany reveals that she was the one to call the police on Chucky the night that he was forced to use Voodoo to avoid dying.
    • Chucky's evil plan was to massacre the audience at the charity event and then distribute his Hive Mind army of dolls throughout the United States all to satiate his ego.
    • In the end, Tiffany cuts off Nica's limbs to keep the main Chucky from attacking her.
  • Wham Line: Tiffany gives one in The Reveal.
    Tiffany: Tell me something, Sweetface… did you ever wonder how those cops found you that night in Chicago?
  • Witch with a Capital "B": Lexy derogatorily referring to Kyle as a "witch".
