Sam still didn’t get the girl in Reaper Episode 8. Worse yet, when he gave her a gift that was more than a friend gift, she cried and said they couldn’t be more than just friends.
Sam’s the Devil’s handyman now, or so he’s told. He shows up to repair Mimi’s dishwasher, which she broke by using it as a washing machine, and she wants him to get her underwear out without ruining it. Oh, and this woman’s the Devil’s mistress. Not at all unusual.
Andi’s acting normal and like nothing’s happened. Sock’s theory is that Sam’s acting like a chick, and Andi’s acting like a dude.
He makes the mistake of telling Mimi he knows her boyfriend “Jerry.” She thinks he’s an importer but wants a window into his world, so she asks Sam what he knows, promising not to tell him they talked because “He would kill us.” He just tells her how great the Devil is, but not that he’s the Devil. Apparently there’s something wrong with that or something.
Ben’s grandmother shows up at The Work Bench. People in his family believe she has the eye, allowing her to predict the future and see evil spirits. He’s not ashamed of his family, though. Just Sock and Sam.
Sam knows that if he wants to find the soul, he needs to find Sarah. When he goes to find her, the soul kills her father. They figure out he uses the ashes to make himself a body.
Sock’s solution to Sam being depressed is to go ask Andi out again and again and again until she gets sick of him. He takes this advice, and she shoots him down for a movie. Ben tells Andi to stop being a guy and make a move, one way or another. She gives him a maybe.
The boys get a list of families the soul may be seeking revenge on, so they drive around pretending people have won a contest. While they’re in their houses, they take the opportunity to steal the ashes of their loved ones because that’s the only way to save them from all being killed. Sock insists he’ll take care of the ashes himself. Because that will go well. The Devil’s displeased they’re taking this route. He’s also displeased he’s getting demanding messages from Mimi.
Sam talks to his father about Andi. Since they’ve known each other for 5 years, he thinks the best case scenario is that he could hope for a miracle, but it’s probably time to move on. Setting that aside for now, they decide to go to Ben’s party, with the clincher being that maybe his grandmother could tell them where the soul’s going to strike next. They decide to take Mimi with them. When they get to the party, Ben’s grandmother sees the Devil in Sam’s palm and stabs his hand with a fork.
After bringing Mimi home, she wonders whether she should stop waiting for the Devil and move on. Sam advises her to leave him. While they’re there, the soul just so happens to show up at her house. They find the urn there but accidentally drop it, spilling the ashes. So they vacuum them and the soul up. Unsurprisingly, Sock’s promise to take care of the bags of ashes didn’t happen, as he just left them in the trunk, a perfect opportunity for the soul.
Having left the vessel at Ben’s house, they need to return there to stop the soul, which is now a giant ash monster. After watching the vanquish, Ben’s grandmother says he’s doing God’s work and has her blessing.
Mimi decides to move to New Mexico, and the Devil’s happy about it, though Sam believes he really cares about her and is the reason they managed to save her from being killed.
Sam goes to Mimi’s tag sale, where he instantly hits it off with her daughter Cady, who may possibly be the Devil’s daughter as well. Mimi would feel better if Sam hung out with her daughter when she moves.
