'Scream Queens' season 2 spoilers, plot news: New place, new job, new killer

Taking a page off the first season's book, "Scream Queens" season 2 opened with yet another party — this time in 1985 — that would presumably give birth to this year's new mysterious killer.

During a Halloween party at a hospital named Our Lady of Perpetual Suffering, a pregnant woman begged the doctors to tend to her dying husband who was suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A doctor dressed in a green cape and a matching green horned mask responded but only to dose up the patient and throw his body into the nearby swamp while the pregnant wife waited in the lobby.

The doctors had a party to tend to and had no time at all to write a report on a patient whose death was already inevitable. It seemed to be the best plan at the time.

Thirty-one years later, in 2016, the consequences of that action would be haunting the establishment now known as the C.U.R.E. (Caregivers United in Restorative Etiology) Institute Hospital owned and run by former Wallace University dean, Cathy Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis).

Dr. Munsch apparently earned the honorary doctorate that the University of Pittsburgh stripped from Bill Cosby and had since viewed herself as an actual medical doctor. She established C.U.R.E. aiming to reform the health system by providing a cure for incurable diseases.

She hired Drs. Brock Holt (John Stamos) and Cassidy Cascade (Taylor Lautner) to help her realize this vision. She also took in Zayday Williams (Keke Palmer) as her assistant and the Chanels as medical students instructed to "ghost" the doctors around.

This was how "Scream Queens" put the characters from the previous season back together in a new environment to face new threats and a new vengeful killer dubbed as the Green Maniac.

Vulture speculated that each episode could feature a patient suffering from an incurable disease. But the unfortunate fate of their first patient, Catherine Hobart (Cecily Strong), who suffered from a severe case of werewolf syndrome, could really make one wonder if the Green Maniac going after the institute's newly healed patients would carry on to the following episodes.

Moreover, Dr. Holt's transplanted hand could also play into the mystery of "Scream Queens" season 2. While the reason why he lost his hand in the first place was revealed, the source of his transplanted one remained unknown.

A brief synopsis of the next episode provided by TV Guide teased the return of Chad Radwell (Glen Powell) and another brush-up with the masked killer that will prompt Dr. Munsch to hire a special agent to look into the matter.

"Scream Queens" airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EDT on FOX and streams online on FOX Now.
