"Seven Minutes in Hell" is the sixth episode of the horror black comedy series Scream Queens. It first aired on October 20, 2015 on Fox. The episode directed by Michael Uppendahl and written by Ryan Murphy. In this episode, Chanel (Emma Roberts) makes a surprising decision: to protect herself from the Red Devil by leaving Zayday in position of power and win the election as president of Kappa Kappa Tau. When the Kappa girls hold a slumber party, it costs the life of some people and a shocking discovery is made. The episode title refers to the game Seven Minutes in Heaven, one of the ones played by the Kappa Kappa Tau sisters and Dickie Dollar Scholars brothers in this episode as part of the slumber party.
The episode was watched by 2.59 million viewers and received mostly positive reviews from critics. After this episode, there was a week hiatus due to the 2015 World Series.
The Chanels and the pledges vote for their new president between Chanel (Emma Roberts) and Zayday (Keke Palmer). It comes to a tie. Zayday suggests they both be co-presidents, which makes Chanel angry, causing her to run up to her closet. When Chanel #3 (Billie Lourd) and Chanel #5 (Abigail Breslin) enter, they see her crying and go and comfort her until she starts to laugh and tells the Chanels how it was part of her plan and opts to cede her presidency to Zayday as she thought by not being the leader she won't be the Red Devil's target. She walks downstairs and tells everyone about it. In her room, Zayday and Grace (Skyler Samuels) suggest they throw a slumber party and play 'Truth or Dare' to find out who the killer is. When she announces the idea to the sisters, they argue about it until Chanel #3 suggests they play "Spin the Bottle" and some of the sisters give in. The sisters play "Spin the Bottle" which results in Hester (Lea Michele) and Jennifer "Candle Vlogger" (Breezy Eslin) kissing. When Chanel #3 gets her turn, it was actually Grace, but Chanel #3 declared that they can respin, leading her and Sam "Predatory Lez" (Jeanna Han) to kiss. Afterwards, Chanel #3 talks to Sam in the bathroom and tells her why she wears earmuffs. She wears them because a boy was obsessed with her ears and sent her an email threatening to cut them off if he even saw them again and so she hides them with earmuffs. That night in the kitchen, Jennifer and Sam tell the sisters that all the doors and windows are locked, Chanel thinks someone might have hacked into the security system she had installed after watching "Panic Room" with Chad (Glen Powell). When Jennifer says it's only a matter of time before one or all of them are killed, the lights suddenly go out and the sisters scream.
