Reaper Episode 11

Reaper went on hiatus after the writers strike, but fresh episodes are back. We left off in December in Reaper Episode 10. Sam was dating Cady, who may or may not be the Devil’s daughter, and she was unknowingly killing things.

We start off with Sock shooting Ben. Not sure whether they’re warming up for demons or if Sock’s just having fun. Then his mom pulls up with an Asian cowboy and says she has wonderful news.

When Cady and Sam are making out, she finds a necklace on his dresser. She assumes it’s a gift for her, even if it was originally intended as a gift for Andi in Episode 8. Then Sock walks in to say he shot a cowboy and might have punched him, too. He sleeps over Sam’s house and sets his alarm for 4:30am so they can talk. He also talks to Sam’s father while he’s getting dressed and his mom while she’s in the shower.

When they arrive at work, Sam makes Sock go flying across the parking lot into some Christmas trees (I’m sure this story made more sense back in December when it was… actually Christmas). Andi hopes to use this to play a prank on Ted, who’s terrified of a lawsuit.

Sam shows up to meet the Devil and sees a body floating on the water, when he’s told about a cannibal who always finishes his meals and eats at night. While they’re talking, the Devil sees a really bad/angry at his ex wannabe rocker and wants to seize the opportunity to strike a deal. Sam basically calls the Devil a morally bankrupt evil being, so he pushes him off the dock, where he lands in a pile of presents with a new vessel.

Andi asks to meet Cady. She immediately notices the necklace and says Sam showed it to her once, which he did, but she refused to accept it. That ends the conversation pretty quickly. Sam tells Cady the truth about the necklace, but she doesn’t take the truth very well. So now they’re both upset at him.

Ben and Sock say it’s not Sam’s problem if some guy wants to sell his soul to the Devil. They find out that Ryan, the wannabe rocker, is playing at a huge venue. The vessel is a speargun… much better than usual. They head to the morgue so that they can get a dental match on a “certain Jonathan Deere.” The expired ID with Sock’s picture pasted on doesn’t go over well, and they get kicked out of the morgue. Except they don’t leave willingly. They stick around to find out it’s the guy who kicked them out who’s been chowing down on people.

They head to the cannibal’s mother’s house to talk to her. They pretend they actually like him, a new story she hasn’t heard before. She tells them of how she “imagines” she sees him sometimes right after the sun goes down.

Sam approaches Ryan to find out if he signed anything, and when he finds out he hasn’t, he tells him to just walk away. He has trouble buying the story about how he’s going to spend eternity in Hell, and even if it is true, he just wants to prove everybody wrong and doesn’t care anyway. The Devil is actually happy about this because when Sam says Devil, it sounds sorta cute, getting Ryan over the initial shock.

Josie comes to ask Ben why they were at the coroner’s office, since her old ID badge was that the scene (with the “i” crossed out to spell Jose instead). They’ve got their story down. “Uncle Hector. Nintendo. I look nothing like you. Booyah.” So she punches Sock and tells them she’ll find out what’s really happening.

Cady agrees to meet Sam at the bar. She doesn’t know that Sam can get over Andi, but he says he’s with her, not Andi.

They go back to Mrs. Carmona’s house to see the cannibal. Sock, who’s still arguing with his mother, decides to go inside and see if she has any more pie. It turns out the cannibal didn’t want pie, though, so he ate his mother instead. An angry Sock chases him outside, where the other guys are waiting to capture him with the vessel.

Sam and Andi both apologize to each other and decide again to all just be friends again.

They want to use the soul as bait to convince Ryan not to sell his soul to the Devil. The soul’s not tempted by Canadian bacon, but he is tempted by Ryan and bites his hand off. He runs off, but Sam follows him and captures him again. Sam goes to visit Ryan at the hospital. His hand is back on, but he doesn’t remember anything after the second encore. He thinks a bear probably bit his hand off. He’s upset that the Devil won’t return any of his calls. His ex stops by the hospital as well, but she’s just there to make sure he’s not going to die or anything. Without any feeling in 4 out of 5 fingers, he agrees to give up rock and roll for her, so she takes him back.

Sock returns home to talk to his mom and her Asian cowboy husband Morris. He accepts the marriage, but she throws him out, claiming he’s too old to be living at home. His room is now a pottery studio.

Cady tells Andi a story about a girl from high school who she hoped to stab but instead just slashed her tires. But she’s been through therapy and can control her emotions now pretty much.

The Devil goes to The Work Bench to confront Sam. He makes all the shelves collapse. This isn’t him mad, though, just disappointed.
