Recap / Chucky S 2 E 5 Doll On Doll

Go To

Devon is still unsure if everyone can trust Good Chucky. Meanwhile, Tiffany spirals from the surprise party, and Glen searches for answers.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Anger Born of Worry: Devon tells Jake that part of his frustration with keeping their brainwashed Chucky around is his worry that he's a threat to everyone, but particularly Jake for being so close to him.
  • As You Know: When Tiffany makes demands of Jennifer, the latter rants about how she's already making her money playing online poker and voicing Bonnie Swanson on Family Guy. Lampshaded when Tiffany threatens her to quit the exposition.
  • Broken Bird: The real Jennifer is stuck in Tiffany's doll body, and has been broken by years of imprisonment and abuse from her. She's even being kept in a bird cage.
  • Call-Back:
  • Cassandra Truth: Tiffany tells Glen that Nica is her girlfriend and "sometimes your father" which elicits a snap from Glen to stop lying, although the former is at least completely untrue.
  • Celebrity Casualty: Tiffany stabs Meg Tilly to death.
  • Crucified Hero Shot: Inverted; it's the evil Hulk Chucky that gets impaled like a crucifixion by the Good Chucky.
  • Dead Guy on Display: "The Colonel" surrounds his cabin with various body parts from other Chuckys.
  • Denied Food as Punishment: Jennifer is desperate for chocolate and is so broken by her imprisonment that she's cowed into silence by the threat of getting no more of it if she keeps angrily ranting about Tiffany killing Meg.
  • Groin Attack: The Good Chucky gets Hulk Chucky off him by kicking him in the nards so hard he flies across the room.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Hulk Chucky gets impaled by the knives he brought to show the brainwashed Chucky.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Good Chucky takes out Hulk Chucky by pinning him against the wall with knives, by the hands, before impaling him in the chest.
  • Internal Reveal: Glen now knows Tiffany's true identity.
  • I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure: Angered that Jennifer only gave her the plot of Blues Brothers and not her early life, Tiffany slaughters Meg in front of Jennifer.
  • My Name Is Inigo Montoya: "My name is Tiffany Valentine, and I'm your goddamn mother!"
  • Not Quite Dead: Hulk Chucky revives later and crawls out of the trash.
  • Not What It Looks Like: Father Bryce walks in on Devon pulling the knives out of the crucified Hulk Chucky and is morally outraged at such apparent blasphemy.
  • Shout-Out:
    • When wanting stories from Jennifer's past to tell Meg, Jennifer instead tells Tiffany the plot of The Blues Brothers.
    • The fact that the bald Chucky calls himself "The Colonel", speaks in a Marlon Brando-like voice and is headquartering in a remote forested location surrounded by displayed body parts is all reminiscent of Apocalypse Now.
  • Trail of Bread Crumbs: Devon deduces that the trail of Good Guy body parts that were left in the woods by Chucky function as this.
  • Vomit Discretion Shot: Good Chucky vomits after killing Hulk Chucky. Unlike last time, his vomit is off screen.
  • Wham Episode:
    • The real Jennifer Tilly has been stuck in Tiffany's original doll body this whole time and trapped in a bird cage by Tiffany, who later kills her sister.
    • Tiffany presents Glen with their doll body. Wanting to show it to Glenda, Tiffany drives Glen to Glenda's (and subsequently Nica's) location, but not before setting the Tilly mansion on fire.
    • Andy somehow survived driving the delivery truck off the cliff, and is being held hostage and tortured by the bald Chucky, who is revealed to be "The Colonel" that Good Chucky was originally in contact with before the kids captured him.
    • Dr. Mixter, the therapist who sent Jake, Devon and Lexy to Incarnate Lord in the first place, is in league with Chucky, whom she refers to as "Charlie".
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Devon calls Jake out on defending the Chucky they brainwashed as capable of good when the one before killed Devon's mom and all of Jake's blood relatives.
  • You Monster!: Jennifer yells this to Tiffany when the latter murders her sister.
