==Reception==
 
A television critic gave the episode a C- when screening the episode, saying "Revenge of the Male Anchors 5" has just enough time to run through the basic beats of the story, doing the most superficial possible version of a serious episode of ''Queen of the Willis'' cripples the show’s strengths."<ref name="avclub"/> The critic also wrote, "while other shows, even the procedurals with grisly murders, are playing around during prom season, ''Queen of the Willis'' went for the ''Tabby and Shushu Attacks'' episode that wrote off any chance that comedy-drama could save it if things took a wrong turn."<ref name="avclub"/> The critic went on to criticize it for its tone, noting "An episode like this only works if the bits of comedy surrounding the serious plot create contrast to the darker main story, but the scenes where Tabby and Shushu Willis kills a street gang is probably the reason it wasn't shown in Fort Wayne."<ref name="avclub"/>
 
 
Reaction to the episode by news media organizations was average and caused controversy, criticizing the episode for its portrayal of [[wikipedia:hate crimes|hate crimes]]. Kelly Ling of [[WXWI-FTV|ABC 10 Milwaukee]] said of the episode, "Like some many other people screening the episode with our GM, I was just shocked by what I saw on ''Queen of the Willis'' that made our GM regret ever bringing the show back," and continued, "What the hell was Ava Zinn thinking when she relaunched the show."<ref name="abc10">{{cite news|title=ABC 10 to pre-empt contovercial episode|publisher=[[WXWI-FTV]] |}}</ref> In another interview, WTOR meterologist Jillian Gates said of the episode, "The main theme of the show was about equal rights and human equality." Ling agreed with <ref name="abc10"/>
 
 
WXWI/[[WZWI-FTV|WZWI]] Vice President and General Manager also complained that the episode may went too far, and compared it to "[[The Rape of Heather Willis]]" and "[[Quillsville Cold Case: Something About Loose Ava]]" episodes that produced criticism, noting, "The show has dipped into sensitive material before, and as Vice President/GM of ABC 10 and Z-24 it is in the best interest of Milwaukee to air late Saturday/early Sunday at Midnight like many other stations carrying the show.
 
 
===Stations refuse to air===
 
In a Tweet by series creator Ava Zinn in Febuary 2020, it was revealed that four stations carrying ''Queen of the Willis'' refused to carry the episode due to viewer complaints: [[NoSirGifts Fantasy Television Stations|NoSirGifts]]-owned NBC affiliate [[WHNC-FTV]] Charlotte; independent station (and NoSirGifts co-flagship station) [[WXXC-FDT|WXXC]] in Fort Wayne, Indiana; CBS affiliate [[WWCF-FTV]] in Tampa, Florida and [[wikipedia:American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] affiliate [[WXWI-FTV|WXWI]] in Milwaukee. [[WCOL-FTV|WCOL]] in Columbus, Ohio; [[WAKT-FTV|WAKT]] in Knoxville, Tennessee; [[WFXM-FTV|WFXM]] in Memphis, Tennessee; and [[WZVA-FTV|WZVA]] in Hampton Roads, Virginia followed suit the following week.
 
  
After WHNC and WWCF refused to air the episode, NoSirGifts Charlotte Fox affiliate [[WXNC-FTV|WXNC]] and Tampa CW affiliate [[WNMB-FTV|WNMB]], will air the episode at 3:00 a.m. on April 25, 2020 while NoSirGifts flagship station and CBS affiliate [[WTOR-FTV|WTOR]] plans to air the episode at Midnight following that station's hour-long 11:00 pm newscast. WXWI/WZWI then announced ''Queen of the Willis'' will not be renewed nor will it carry its spin-off, ''The Souzas''. Series creator Ava Zinn announced ''Queen of the Willis'' will move its Fort Wayne affilliate from NoSirGifts-owned WTOR/WXXC to United Broadcasting-owned NBC/CW duopoly [[WFTW-FTV|WFTW]]/[[WGOM-FTV|WGOM]].
