Recap / Chucky S 2 E 1 Halloween II

Go To

After his evil plan to invade America's children's hospitals was foiled, the demon doll now seeks revenge on those he holds responsible, including his ex-girlfriend, Tiffany.


Tropes in this episode:

  • And This Is for...: When Andy drives the delivery truck over the edge of Hackensack Gorge, he says, "This is for Kyle!"
  • Are We There Yet?: One of the Chuckys on the truck asks this.
  • Bedsheet Ghost: Chucky's costume as "The Ghost of Halloween Past".
  • Big Brother Instinct:
    • Within the six month Time Skip, Jake quickly came to care for his younger foster brother Gary since their foster parents couldn't have cared less about him.
    • Lexy has also become extremely protective of Caroline ever since Chucky killed their father.
  • Big Damn Kiss: Jake and Devon share one, despite the fact that Jake's foster parents wouldn't approve.
  • Boom, Headshot!: Andy shoots the head off the Tiffany doll.
  • Call-Back:
    • Devon states that the Wedding Belle doll reminds him of the Tiffany doll from Bride of Chucky. He is talking about the In-Universe movie from Seed of Chucky.
    • While singing the praises of Uber, Chucky mentions how he used to need to take hostages to drive him around, which happened in several of the movies.
    • During an interview, a reporter brings up the time Caroline spoke up during a press conference and told everybody that Chucky had told her to kill her mom.
    • Just like the previous Halloween, Lexy tries to have sex with the guy she is seeing, only for him to put the breaks on the situation before consummating the deed.
  • Children Are Innocent: Chucky manipulates Gary into bringing him over to Lexy's house with a bomb, the latter who thinks it's all part of a game. Averted with Caroline, who by this point, is now fully aware of Chucky's true nature.
  • Death of a Child: Chucky kills Gary with his homemade bomb and pins the blame on Jake, Devon, and Lexy.
  • Ghost Memory: Subverted. Despite all sharing a fragment of Charles Lee Ray's soul, not all of the Chucky dolls immediately share memories. The ones in the truck initially don't recognize either Andy or the Tiffany doll, meaning they don't know about Human!Tiffany's betrayal. It's only after Andy decapitates the Tiffany doll that the Chuckys recognize him.
  • Never Found the Body: Jake says this regarding Andy after he crashed the delivery truck containing all the Chucky dolls.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Devon notes that Chucky has never done anything like a suicide attack before, deducing that this means he wasn't lying about other copies of himself surviving.
  • Resentful Guardian: Implied with Jake's foster parents. From the way Jake described them, they were not only homophobic but also never really cared about him or Gary.
  • Shout-Out:
  • Suicide Attack: Chucky tries to do this with Jake, Devon, and Lexy. He only succeeds in killing Gary.
  • Taking You with Me:
    • What Andy seems to be trying to do when he drives the truck full of Chucky dolls over the cliff.
    • The Chucky doll with the fertilizer bomb tries to do this with Jake, Devon and Lexy, but fails. He does get Gary, though.
  • Time Skip: The episode takes place six months after the Season 1 finale.
  • Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Lexy still smokes weed like she did in Season 1, but she's now turned to much harder drugs (even stealing some of her mother's prescriptions) as an unhealthy way of coping with all the trauma she's faced from the previous season.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Jake's little foster brother Gary is the first victim of Chucky this season, and all we really knew about him was that he was a fan of Batman.
  • Wham Line: Devon drops one at the very end, upon realizing that the Incarnate Lord school looks very familiar.
    Devon: This used to be the Burlington Home for Wayward Boys. Charles Lee Ray lived here when he was our age.
