Sam, Sock, and Ben moved into their own apartment in Reaper Episode 12. Their new neighbors Steve and Tony cooked for them, did their laundry… and were demons. Sam wasn’t having much more luck with the ladies, as following Andi’s warning to be careful of Cady, who may or may not be Satan’s daughter, Cady decided to go to New Mexico to get away from Sam for a while.

They’re stuck living next door to demons because their lease apparently doesn’t contain a no demon clause.

Andi finally tells Sam the truth. She wants to be more than just friends.

Steve and Tony come over with freshly baked muffins. They want to know why they’re being ignored. “It’s not you. It’s us.” So they leave before they do something they’ll regret. And take their muffins with them.

Sock suggests that Sam break up with Cady and be with Andi, rather than being with Cady and secretly pining for Andi. Andi apologizes for having put them in an awkward position.

Sam opens a crate that says 666 on it. That can’be be good. Inside are some bubbles. Then the Devil transports him to a photo shoot, and after attempting to have an inappropriate conversation, he shows him someone burned by acid.

When they see Tony and Steve in the hall, the boys run the other way, and not very subtly.

They find Nicole, the soul, who’s pretty hot, especially for a dead chick. She used to work at Seattle’s hippest fashion magazine, of which for some reason Sock is a big fan. They go there and find a guy who works there, who tells them she got into a fight a couple years ago with Angela, a cover girl who beat Nikki for a contract. He suggests a club where they might run into Angela. When they arrive, they find both Nicole and Angela in the VIP area, but they have to jump the bouncer to get in. The distraction allows Sam to sneak past. Once inside, he finds the acid queen, but she escapes through a hole she creates in the wall.

Steve and Tony show up at The Work Bench and again ask Sam what’s wrong. Sam finally tells them the problem is what they are, but he’s not a homophobe. He just doesn’t like demons. They know he’s a reaper and don’t get why he’s not willing to accept them. Apparently, they have not eaten anybody.

The boys track down Nicole at the magazine but are unable to get the vessel to work. Blowing bubbles is harder than it looks. Sam wants to just be dropped off at the apartment, where Nikki’s waiting for him. He’s still having trouble blowing bubbles, but Steve swoops down to save him.

The Devil warns Sam about his two little demon neighbors, a sure sign he may well be able to trust them. Steve’s still upset about the demophobic behavior. He comes around when he hears that Sam knows the Devil, though. He happens to mention that Tony’s involved in a party for Seattle Style magazine. The party’s the same night as Sam has plans with Andi, but Tony thought of everything and has a ticket for her as well.

Just as Sam’s done kissing Andi at the party, he gets a call from Cady. As he’s talking to her, Andi walks off, with Nicole right behind her. Someone who thinks Sam’s a valet gives him the keys, so he of course takes his car and drives it into Nicole. Then he throws Andi into the car and drives off. If she didn’t get what was going on before, she might now. With a little bit of acid, Nikki’s able to cause the car to flip upside down. It’s a good thing Sam has his bubbles with him and is able to figure out how to use them.

The guys are okay, but Andi’s the one heading to the hospital this time. The Devil reiterates his previous warning: the people Sam cares for are fair game. Oh, and a lifetime of meaningless cheap one night stands may not be so bad. Sam plays dumb and tells Andi it was just a car accident.

When Sam gets home, Steve invites him into his lair for a private chat that nobody on the planet can hear, including the Devil. He thinks it’s unusual that the Devil actually talks to Sam, but he still wants him to fight him.

Sam had two really hot chicks fighting over him in Reaper Episode 11. For some reason, he considered this to be a problem. He eventually made up with both Cady and Andi, though he and Andi decided that everybody would just be friends… again. Sock’s mother has decided to throw him out of the house so she can be alone with her new Asian cowboy husband Morris.

Sock is now living at The Work Bench.

Sam takes Cady to go out with the guys, and she’s the first girl to infiltrate their bowling, for whatever that’s worth. She proceeds to kick their butts with strike after strike, including one that mysteriously bounces out of the gutter right into the center of the lane. Between this and her snoring “like she’s a creature from the underworld,” Sam’s getting suspicious she may just be the spawn of Satan.

When they arrive at work, Ted’s holding a meeting. He’s worried about missing merchandise and will be installing an extensive video camera system throughout the store. Sock proceeds to steal something, but since he lives there, it’s not stealing if it’s your own house.

Sock takes the boys to an apartment he’s found that’s $1200/month. His plan is for them to be roommates with him, and he’s already forged their signatures on the lease. Ben’s in. Following a guilt trip, Sam agrees as well.

The Devil comes to assign Sam with a soul, Herbert, a hermit who lived in the woods and hunted anybody who went through his neck of the woods. His hunting grounds are now a city park. Since Sam gives him an attitude about knowing what he’s doing, the Devil offers him no additional information. The vessel is a food processor.

Josie wants Andi to tell Sam about Cady’s little psycho visit.

Cady stops by The Work Bench asking dumb questions like: why did you move without telling me? Once they get past that, she sees a camera, part of Ted’s new security system. She decides to give him something interesting to watch. As they’re kissing, glass cracks behind her. Sam tries to ignore it again and again but presses his luck one time too often, and the glass shatters all over the floor.

When the boys get back home, they have the ultimate video game setup complete with three TV’s. Unfortunately, this only lasts about two seconds, so they go to see the neighbors. The neighbors invite them in, to which Sock responds, “No thanks, we’re straight.” Once someone with more tact answers, they ask for some assistance, and Tony is handy enough to be able to figure things out. Then Steve invites them over for dinner the next day, since their fridge is empty. It’s a date. Or a get together with some dudes.

While walking through the forest, they decide the trees look familiar, so they have Ben climb a huge tree. Then he falls. Right on a dead body buried under some leaves. So now Sam comes up with a plan to go jogging in the creepy woods where the soul’s been killing people. The theory of being bait does allow them to be close enough to hear the next victim’s scream. When they approach, Sock steps in a trap and is upside down. An invisible man then approaches and attacks them, but he’s scared by some dogs. Now that they know the soul’s invisible, they head back to The Work Bench to get supplies for paintball. The Devil has a better idea: he gives Sam some glasses so he can see the true face of evil. In an effort to prove he doesn’t need help, though, Sam gives them right back.

Andi gets another visit from Cady, who wants to know what’s going on with Sam lately.

Sock’s got some new clothes, and he’s happy to be living next door to Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

When they go to dinner, Sam spills some food on himself. When Steve offers to help, this gives them some time to chat, which leads to a discussion about home security and motion detectors that prevent against all the threats you can’t see.

Ted walks in to The Work Bench and finds out that his security system has been stolen. So now he has to buy more cameras so he can watch his cameras.

When the boys arrive, they see that there’s a charity run through the park. Sock stops people from protecting the trees, revoking their permit to run through the park, and instead telling them to hug a tree. The plan works. They spot Herbert and paintball him so that he’s somewhat visible. Only problem is Sock has the vessel, but he gets back just in time to let the vessel slice and dice.

Following the second visit from Cady, Andi warns Sam to be careful.

The Devil insists on knowing what’s wrong with Sam, and Sam reluctantly agrees to talk about it. He asks for the truth for a change. He wants to know whether Cady’s his daughter, and the response is no, which he doesn’t believe. With that in mind, the Devil leaves behind a present, the glasses, just in case Sam ever wants to see somebody’s true colors.

Sam puts the glasses on when he goes to see Cady, and all he sees is a normal girl. He wants to talk, but she doesn’t want to hear it. She wants to take some time off and head down to New Mexico to see her mother.

They’ve replaced their parents with a couple of gay guys, and they’re quite happy about it. Sam heads across the way to pick up his clothes, which they took to Steve and Tony’s to get laundered. When he arrives, he sees they’re using sanders on their horns.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of Reaper episode 13 Acid Queen.

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.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of Reaper episode 12 Unseen, which airs Thursday at 9/8c on The CW.
