In Reaper episode 6, Andi and Sam made up and decided to just be friends.
Sam’s friends want to hook him up with a girl, since he’s supposedly trying to be just friends with Andi. Somehow, Sock’s dancing attracts a bunch of girls. Eventually, one of them, Taylor, sits down and kisses Sam. But because none of the guys will strip, they’re on their own again.
The vessel is an 8-track tape that’s the soundtrack to Love, Bullets, and Blacktop. Sam runs into Andi, who tells him to come over and play it in her dad’s old cassette player. While they’re talking, Taylor calls, but he doesn’t want to discuss it with Andi.
The Devil transports Sam to the scene of a car crash. A completely flattened car has no victims in it, since they just walked away. He doesn’t get into many details, except where Taylor’s erogenous zones are.
On the news, they see another wreck and decide it’s related. They get a tip from a new guy at work who they hate, Russell, where to find someone selling a car. Sam decides to play the 8-track to get attention, and it makes two people dance. Once the music stops, they’re able to get away, though. After falling off the roof of the building, they get up and drive away. I’ll go out on a limb and say those are the two souls they’re after.
Taylor stops by work looking for Sam and just so happens to bump into Andi there. Andi tells Sam she stopped by and that he should call her.
Ben and Sock decide to pretend to put Russell’s car up for sale to attract the souls.
The Devil says love just comes down to endorphins and genitalia and again tries to talk him into getting with Taylor, who’s a guest at the wedding the Devil takes him to. He reluctantly asks her out.
The bait works, and the souls come to get the car. Only the guy gets out of the car. He drives a tough bargain. He wants to actually get inside the car. That may be tough without keys. He figures out something’s wrong, but they manage to catch him. He says “See you at midnight.” His girl drives away before they can capture her.
They get Love, Bullets, and Blacktop, but it’s on beta. So it’s off to Russell’s house, which looks like the 70s threw up. He puts the movie in but wants to get high first. Before he can carry his plan through, however, Hollie, the female soul, crashes through the house in her car and grabs an 8-track tape.
Andi reveals a hideaway at work, complete with TV and refreshments, and she and Sam watch the movie there. He finds out Midnight’s actually the name of an auto body shop. When they get there, Hollie’s there waiting for them and looking for a fight. She’s upset that she can’t figure out how to get a soul out of a random tape that isn’t actually a vessel, so she threatens that she’ll torch the place and only one person will leave alive (Sock asks which one). Just as she’s ready to torture Sam, Sock starts singing the song from the movie, distracting her long enough for Sam to get the real tape and capture her.
Sam asks Taylor if it’s her thing to kiss random guys in bars. She tells him he doesn’t look like the kind of guy to make the first move. He starts mauling her but stops when she asks how he knew about her earlobe being the thing that can get her to do anything. Sam decides he doesn’t want to give up on true love, whether the Devil says it’s fake or not.
