Despite the hate trains the series has received, SYFY and the show’s cast have jumped in to clarify the situation. They said that the scene needs context to be understood, and for that reason, fans who haven’t watched the rest of the show wouldn’t get it.
So, here’s the scoop: that part is actually a hallucination experienced by Jake, after falling unconscious due to the doll’s possession. While unconscious, Jake’s boyfriend, Devon, attempts RCP, leading Jake to dream of Devon making out with Chucky. This was later confirmed by SYFY, saying “context matters or whatever y’all said.”
