Sarah robbed Ben blind and got him in trouble with the law, while Tony’s demon friend came to the conclusion that Sam must be the Devil’s son in Reaper Episode 17.

The Devil takes credit for the lottery as one of his greatest inventions, which he calls the idiot tax. Sam wants to know how he met his parents, to which he gets a response that people who make deals with the Devil generally aren’t big on integrity. Enough of that now, though, he’s got a soul for him. A fortune teller who was hung by a bunch of clods with pitchforks for conspiring with the Devil (after she made a deal with him).

Sock wants his relationship with Josie to be effortless. If it’s just another job, he quits. So she fires him.

Tony’s got a new plan. Capture the Devil in Solomon’s cage. Sam warns him of all the death and destruction from last time reapeating itself. Sam doesn’t have to be involved, but Tony just needs Sam’s employee discount for all the supplies.

Sock hits on a hot demon girl. She decides she really wants a kiss. He doesn’t care that he feels weird after they kiss the first time, so he kisses her again… and passes out. He feels totally pumped now and starts acting like he ate a bag of sugar sticks and a six pack of soda.

Sam believes he’s seen Steve appearing as a stain on the wall, and Andi suggests that perhaps he isn’t quite so crazy to believe that.

The Devil forces Sam to spill the beans on Tony’s plan. He’s not at all concerned. But Tony’s real plan is not to capture Satan. Rather, he hopes to capture his son.

Sock’s newfound energy boost is gone, but Andi’s on to new things and has spent hours finding the soul. The boys know it’s the hottest girl within a few seconds, though. When they arrive at demon central with some lumber, they find the girl who kissed Sock. She apologizes for kissing him. It turns out she’s a succubus and has shaved about a year off his life. His plan is to just kiss her once a year.

Sam asks Tony about Steve appearing to him, and Tony’s mad that Steve would appear to Sam and not him. He also claims that God’s goodwill is never going to extend to demons. Then Sam tells him that the Devil may possibly know about the plans, but Steve’s not upset because those aren’t his real plans anyway.

Sock’s got a new buzz. Sam wants to know if he ate 16 pixie sticks.

They head to the fortune teller. She pulls Sam’s cards. He’s recently come into contact with his father, who is deceiving him about his birth, the Devil obscures the truth between himself and his father… and that’s where they leave it because she’s not going back to Hell.

Lucky for him, Sock’s full of adrenaline and manages to save him. But he’s not on drugs, which means that Ben shouldn’t tell his mom. Now Ben wants a taste of her since he knows the effect, but she doesn’t want to share. As a consolation, Sock will probably be dead in three years.

Sam confronts his father again. He wants to know the truth because his life is at risk every day, but his father is forbidden from telling him the truth.

Tony invites Sam out to demon central. He tells him he knows the secret his father’s not telling him and tosses him in the cage and informs him that he is the son of Lucifer. Sam’s father comes to the rescue and offers to explain everything. So he goes in the cage, too. Steve wanted to know about Cancun, where they took their first vacation, which he called Heaven. The glowing angel that appears before them confirms Sam’s story, and with that, Tony rescues Sam but not his father.

Now that his father’s dead and buried, Sam wants to know whether that was his actual father. His mom answers that, of course, he was. The Devil’s giving him some time off to mourn and spend time with his girl and friends. He’s still unconvinced that he’s not Satan’s son, though. Tony may have saved him, but those other demons won’t stop.

With that, the boys blow stuff up to honor the passing of the man who may or may not have been Sam’s biological father.

That’s the last of the new episodes for now. Reaper Season 2 starts its first of 13 episodes in midseason, presumably in January. Meaning there’s still one reason to watch this network.

Andi managed to overcome a crazed mind control guy to remember she loved Sam in Reaper Episode 16. Ben, meanwhile, learned that life’s too short to not date even though he’s married.

Ben and Sock are arguing over America’s favorite cat: Garfield or Heathcliff. Sam has to break up this meeting of the minds because The Work Bench has been closed for an hour. Sam hopes to follow them to the bar, but the Devil wants to see him. He insists he sit down for dinner. The Devil has a pleasant chat with a man named Mike, who turns out to be the escaped soul. Sam is warned that Mike’s quite the charmer. As instructed, he just points and shoots, capturing him in the vessel (a camera) by taking his picture.

Andi’s not happy that the Devil’s being so unfair and just zapping Sam away as he sees fit. He takes her to the DMV to meet Gladys, who believes that Andi doesn’t look mentally defective. She approves.

Sarah kisses Ben because the immigration officer is there. He wants to meet with them for an interview.

The Devil shows up at work to tell Sam that Mike’s free. Wasn’t quite as easy to capture as it seemed after all. There’s only one explanation: someone’s letting him out from the inside. There’s a mole in Hell.

Sam catches Mike sleeping with someone, which is typical for him. Sam captures him. Again. He doesn’t trust Gladys to send Mike back to Hell, though. With good reason. She frees him after Sam leaves.

Tony offers Sam help if he needs any. He doesn’t ask for anything, but Andi wants him to review the contract and find a way out.

Sock’s got an idea of how to convince the immigration officer that they’re married: naked photos in their family album. Sarah’s already got some photos of herself. Now it’s Ben’s turn.

Mike wants to take Sam out for a night on the town so that he can swim in sweeties. Sam actually seems to fall for it. The Devil thinks he’s got Hell locked down, so he’s not happy to hear that Mike was just in his elevator. Sam has a man crush on Mike and doesn’t understand what destruction Mike’s causing by breaking up other people by cheating with women on their husbands. The dead husband and wife get Sam to say he’s seen enough.

The immigration officer finds the album… charming. Ben has trouble getting Sarah’s mother’s name right. He can’t get his own mother’s name right either. The case has been red flagged. They’re warned they’ll be in front of a judge Monday morning. Sarah will be going home, and Ben will be in jail.

Sam goes home to get the contract from his parents. He gets a guilt trip from his father about it, but they agree to give it to him. They call an obviously drunk Ben who plans to go out in style since he knows he’s toast. When they get to the bar, they see Mike with Gladys. Sam knows she’s the leak. They barge into her house and try to capture Mike, but he’s not going willingly. Sock says he’s more than willing to allow Gladys to die. Mike calls his bluff, stabs her, and runs.

They grab the dead demon body and put it in the car. Sam decides to go to Tony’s to get his help, but he’s not at home. While they’re preparing to dig her grave, Ben wakes up next to her. Just as they’re getting ready to dig, Tony shows up. They ask for assistance burying the dead body. He’s happy to help, but once he finds out she’s a demon, though, he knows she’s not really dead. Gladys is back, but she hasn’t learned her lesson. She’d rather be dead than lonely.

Perhaps the Devil can talk some sense into her.

Josie tells Ben that if he pays the fine (emptying out his savings account and then some), he may be able to avoid prison. Sarah, however, has no chance and will be deported. But Sarah says she has had a discussion with the immigration officer. He’s willing to accept a bribe. She asks Ben for his assistance and forgiveness. He forgives her. She needs the money by 5.

Gladys spills the beans to Sam about where Mike may be. Then she gives Sam her cat. She’s been reassigned back down to head office. Andi wants to save her from this, though Sam believes she’ll be fine (until she gets sucked down to Hell).

They’ve all got a wedding to crash to be able to capture Mike. The boys aren’t let in because they don’t have what you would call tuxedos, but Sam finds another way in and heads to a dark basement. He keeps flashing away with the camera, but his limited flashes aren’t helping. Just as he’s about to be strangled, Ben and Sock come to his rescue, shining a light on Mike and allowing Sam to capture him with the vessel.

Turns out Sarah made up the bribe just to get some money out of Ben. And Sock is eating the mac and cheese she left him in the fridge.

Tony’s demon friend realizes that there are pages missing from the contract, most likely to hide the identity of Sam’s real father.

Sam knows how the Devil can thank him: let Gladys go. He’s not buying it. A good plan and some fast talk doesn’t work. What’s needed is some puppy dog eyes and the word please.

The demons have a theory: Sam is the Devil’s son. That’s different.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of Reaper episode 18 Cancun, which airs Tuesday at 9/8c on The CW.

After kidnapping Andi a couple times in Reaper Episode 15, Sam and his friends managed to convince her that his parents sold his soul to the Devil, and now he’s a bounty hunter who captures escaped souls and sends them back to Hell.

Sock gets a new car in which Sam and Andi can makeout and, more importantly, discuss demons, which she seems to find a lot more interesting. Andi swears she hears something. Maybe it’s the guy wielding a chainsaw. They barely manage to get away, with the car barely intact.

Ben’s new wife wants him to make the bed (that he doesn’t sleep in) and pick up the yoga mat in the kitchen (that he does sleep on). He really does need to clean up after himself more.

The boys go to see Gladys at the DMV. She pulls out the Hell’s Most Wanted list, which includes Abe Lincoln but no guy with a chainsaw, who she suggests is probably just a regular every day human. Ben gets what may be a better lead, though. He’s from a movie.

Cassidy doesn’t seem to be enjoying the fact that she’s only dating Ben in the hospital cafeteria. The wedding ring on his finger is a bit of a tip that something’s up. Once he explains, she’s okay being his mistress, as long as they go some place new, with a waiter… and a liquor license.

The Devil drops by to give Sam a present, a nice blade. Just in case. He brings him in a house where they walk in on Andi kissing Greg. She says she doesn’t get what’s going on and that she has temporary insanity or something.

Sarah’s got an announcement to make. She’s pregnant. Bad news for her husband Ben, who hasn’t even slept with her. She tells him her (married) boyfriend Esteban is the father.

Greg shows up at The Work Bench. Andi’s not interested, but he appears to have some sort of mind control powers to convince her otherwise.

The boys are driving around, and they are again attacked by a chainsaw-wielding madman. They shake him off, but he doesn’t seem to have any trouble with bashing his head into the concrete.

It turns out the Devil bought Greg’s soul in exchange for the power to get Andi to go out with him. Now the Devil wants Sam to kill Greg for him. Sam refuses. This goody two shoes attitude is going to get old real quick. The Devil wants him to learn that the only person playing by the rules is him.

Andi’s got some bad news for Sam. She has to break up with him. Sam tells her the truth, but it doesn’t matter because Greg’s got control of her mind.

Back to the DMV. Gladys still doesn’t have anything on her clipboard, but she may respond to bribes (someone to watch over her cat, which isn’t code for anything). She doesn’t have a vessel but knows a guy who may be able to help. They get a vessel and a lesson: the Devil can’t undo true love.

On Ben’s first real non-date with Cassidy, he tells her he can’t see her any more because he made a commitment to a crazy woman.

Sam’s got a plan to get Andi back. He’s going to remind her that she loves him, even though he hasn’t ever heard the term love come out of her mouth in reference to him before. He asks her if she loves him and gets a yes. He wants to get new jobs and run away to Buffalo to avoid Greg. That probably won’t work. Revealing the plan to Greg isn’t a good thing either. And then chainsaw guy shows up. Sam’s been sneezing because of Greg’s cologne, and the sneezing continues now. Greg’s id, his pent up rage, has been manifested as the killer in Greg’s favorite slasher film. The Devil rescues Sam and reminds him to kill Greg.

The boys have a shotgun with the wrong ammo and some plastic to clean up the mess. Greg opens the door, and Sock says they brought him a giant roll of plastic. He manages to realize he gave away his soul for nothing, as Andi still loves Sam. Then his body starts floating. Which is new. Out pops a guy with a chainsaw. Now he’s after Greg, too. Sam tries to convince Greg to calm down. Talking sense into him doesn’t work, but knocking him out with a trophy does.

Ben’s learned a lesson from the whole almost being killed by a madman debacle. He’s got a message for Sarah: he’s free to date, too.

Sam plays his get out of Hell free card on Greg. He knows he can’t use it on himself anyway because the Devil will screw him over some other way.
