Dean Cathy Munsch attempts to shut down KKT, threatening to revoke the charter, due to president Chanel Oberlin's rude behavior and suspected assault on her predecessor, Melanie Dorkus. Kappa is forced to accept anyone who wishes to join; this lowers Chanel's popularity and her boyfriend, Chad Radwell, ends their relationship. Ms. Bean, Kappa's housemaid, is killed via deep fryer; her body is hidden in the house's storage freezer. Grace joins forces with Pete Martinez, an investigative reporter, to take down Chanel and restore KKT's reputation. Ms. Bean's body disappears and Chanel realizes something strange is going on.
