Reaper Episode 2

In Reaper episode 1, Sam found out his parents had sold his soul to the devil. So basically just a normal 21st birthday. When all was said and done, though, he seemed happy to be on this new path where he had some direction and responsibility.

Until he had some time to sleep on it anyway, so now he’s back to avoiding the issue. The problem is the issue refuses to avoid him. The vessel the Devil gave him keeps following him around wherever he goes. For some reason, leaving the box in the woods and running away from it doesn’t trick it.

Andi and Sam end up on cart duty, which means wandering the neighborhood to find missing shopping carts. She sees this as an opportunity to goof off and invites him along for the ride. He’s happy about this, but the Devil shows up wanting him to open the vessel. This happens while Sam and Sock are stocking shelves, which in Bert’s mind includes throwing merchandise. Because he’s distracted, Sam misses, and it knocks out a customer. The boss informs them a bloodied customer is not a happy customer. As punishment, they’re put on the night shift until they inventory the whole store, which he suggests will take a year.

Sam brings Bert home for dinner and tells him not to blow his secret because Sam already told his mom that the thing with the Devil was done. He says no problem and the secret’s safe with him, so obviously it takes all of two seconds for him to blow it.

The Devil transports Sam to the top of the building, where Sam again tries to back out of the deal. Yeah, that’ll go over well. There are no threats this time, however. Instead, just a guilt trip about innocents dying.

The next morning, Sam finally breaks down and opens the vessel. It’s an RC car. Of course, he’s not provided with any instructions as to how to actually use it. After that, his father gives him a brand new car in an effort to buy him off, so he doesn’t tell his mom that he’s working for the Devil.

The demon they’re after is using lightning strikes to cause blackouts. One blackout is at a hospital, and they just so happen to order generators from Sam’s store, so he volunteers to take them down there. They find out that the hospital used to be the medical wing for a guy who got arrested. On his way back to the store, Sam checks out a guy whose car got struck by lightning, and while there, he sees the soul he’s chasing.

Back at home, the Devil shows up and asks Sam if he’s having problems at home. Sam says he’s the problem, but the Devil responds that Sam’s the problem because he lied to his mother. He advises him that lying never solves anything. Shouldn’t the Devil encourage lying?

Sam asks Josie what she knows about Arthur Ferry, and she tells him about how he stole energy and sold it to other states, causing rolling blackouts and people to die. The news is on the radio, and they hear a report about problems at the dam, so they drive up there to find out what’s going on. They find Arthur and try to send the RC car after him, but the minor glitch in the plan is that it gets run over by a truck. Even without the vessel, Sam’s not intimidated by the soul and stands up to him. He escapes, but at least Sam and his friends aren’t dead.

They take the RC car back to work, where they “repair” it with duct tape, unsure whether or not it will actually work, but then again, they still don’t even know how it works to begin with. The really bad news is they work at a store with a lot of power tools, all of which can be easily turned against them in a scenario such as this. The vessel then falls apart, but Sam’s not concerned because he has other plans.

He goes into the parking lot and yells for Arthur, who’s upset because they took away his name on the building, which is hiding the good he did. Sam figures out that the car was just for show and that it was the controller that was actually the vessel. It turns into a lightning rod, which allows him to capture Arthur. When they bring the vessel to Gladys at the DMV, she’s pleasant as always, telling them the fact that they haven’t been killed yet astonishes her.

Sam goes home and tells his mother the truth. She’s okay with it and says no more secrets… except they’re not going to tell Sam’s brother. Then at work, he’s pulled off the midnight shift and put on garbage duty, since the store looks like a bomb went off and all, but the Devil pulls some strings and gets him into the garden center, where he can now shovel manure instead. But the Devil’s not so bad after all, as Andi’s also working in the garden center.

Supernatural Season 3 Episode 1

A man sees his trash cans rattling for no apparent reason. Then a light flickers. Then all the lights on the street start flickering. All pretty odd, but it’s the ominous cloud in the sky that begins chasing after him which really freaks him out. Until it takes over his body.

A week later, Sam’s got his face buried in a book, and Bobby calls him up to tell him if he’s going to break Dean free of selling his soul, he’s not going to find the answer in a book. When he goes to get Dean to head out on the road, Sam walks in on his brother having sex. After getting past this, Dean wishes the war would just start already, then they head to Nebraska to check out a crop failure.

When they go into a house, they find the TV on and three dead bodies on the couch in front of it. After he steps out the porch, Dean gets beat down by a man with a gun, Isaac, a man Bobby is well acquainted with. They find out the cause of death was dehydration and starvation, and the people just sat down and never got up, though nobody’s sure why since they had plenty of food in the kitchen. Isaac doesn’t want to work with the boys because he’s angry about the coming war they caused.

The guy who earlier had been possessed by the cloud walks into a store and touches a woman, getting her to believe the shoes another woman is holding are nice. Because getting a woman to come to that conclusion apparently requires supernatural intervention. She goes up to the other woman and says she wants those shoes. She’s told they’re the last pair but follows her out the store to again ask for them. She bashes her head into a car and takes the shoes. Shoe sales are dangerous.

Upon arrival, Dean uses the time to hit on a girl. Bobby tries to find out whether the woman was possessed, but she comes up clean. They review the security tapes and at least get a good look at the guy but don’t get very far in determining that he was at fault. Sam confirms the man’s name is Walter and that he went missing about a week ago, the night the devil’s gate opened. They track him down. Bobby advises waiting until they figure out what Walter’s capable of before they go after him, but Isaac has other plans, as he shows up there with his wife (Tamara) and is ready to go after him. Heading after Walter, Isaac gets stopped by someone else, who also turns out to be a demon. The rest of the people in the bar, also demons, aren’t happy to see him either. One of them touches him and gets him to drink drain cleaner, killing him. Sam, Dean, and Bobby drive through the wall and rescue Tamara.

She turns out to be irrational and wants to go back to the bar. Bobby informs them they’re up against the 7 deadly sins, live and in the flesh. The family was killed by sloth, the shopper was killed by envy, and Isaac was killed by gluttony. Bobby manages to talk some sense into Tamara, who agrees to assist them when they do actually come up with a plan.

They capture Walter and interrogate him. He wants to have a little fun… seeing people’s insides on their outside. He accuses them all of being guilty of sin. They make quick work of him with an exorcism, but not before he warns the others will be coming, so they prepare for it.

Isaac shows up, possessed by one of the demons. He gets to her by talking about the past, and she jumps out of the building and attacks him, the perfect opening for the other demons to enter the house. Bobby traps one of them and exorcises him. Unsurprisingly, lust goes after Dean, but he’s got the willpower to dunk her head in holy water. Pride and a couple other demons attack Sam, but he’s rescued by a knife wielding girl who takes them all out, though none of them can figure out how she’s killing demons with a knife. She knows who he is, even if he doesn’t know her. Two of the possessed humans do survive, but they have to burn the others.

Sam asks the question: if they let out the 7 deadly sins, what else did they let out? He then asks Bobby whether they can win the war but doesn’t get a response.

Sam keeps pushing Dean to try to save himself and find a way out of the deal. Dean tells him why he doesn’t want to be rescued. If they try to screw up the deal, Sam dies, so if Sam tries to find a way, Dean says he’ll stop him himself.

CSI: Season 8, Episode 2 – A La Cart

Last week’s episode was the ending to the miniature killer case, wherein Sara became the suspect’s target, the CSI team eventually finding out about Grissom and Sara’s relationship and the search for Sara in the desert.

This week, the team is faced with two unusual cases – one is the head of a varsity football player found in the desert and a high-profile murder of Hampton Huxley (The Hugh Hefner of CSI Las Vegas) in a hip restaurant called “Blind” that serves food in the dark.

Jim Brass, Catherine and Brown was assigned to the Blind crime scene, while Stokes and Greg investigates the beheaded guy. Back at the lab, Sara is questioned by Ecklie for an administrative inquiry about Grissom and their relationship.

Stokes and Greg discovers the identity of the varsity player (Matt Bartley) and his hobby was go-cart driving. They visited the go-cart venue to ask around about the victim, only to find out that he has been competing with “A-rod”, who usually loses to the vic. A-rod tries to escape, but Stokes captures him before he could get away.

Rodney Banks was brought to the station, confessing that they took their competition to the highway and stated that the last time he saw Bartley, he still had a head. He then dumped the body in the desert and towed the other go-cart back to the city.

At the Blind restaurant, Jim Brass questions the two “Kitties”, who are counterparts of Hugh Hefner’s Bunnies. Since they are the ones with Huxley during his death, they may have motifs. But blind waiters as well as the chef, who was once a Kitty, can also be the suspects.

Greg and Stokes investigate the two go-carts and determined that both cars had road dirt, but only one had blood stains. Grissom then had the idea that Matt Bartley may have been decapitated by accident, which could verify Rodney’s story. Grissom, Greg, Stokes and Ecklie experimented on a human dummy made of jelly to determine if an exploding truck tire could really cause decapitation. The experiment’s result: the dummy was beheaded.

At the lab, Dr. Al Robbins finds a pointed piece of a pen in Huxley’s head. Since the victim’s body had honey, ink and blood, the evidences and fingerprint led to one of the blind waiters. The blind waiter lost his eyesight 2 years back, when the chef and him were still dating. After stealing his recipes and ideas, the chef opens up her own restaurant and hires him to be a waiter. To finally get back at her, he kills Huxley and tries to set the chef up by placing the weapon on one of the Kitties’ bags (to give the chef a motif to kill).

The episode ends as Grissom and Sara were in the car talking about what they told Ecklie during the administrative inquiry. Sara tells Grissom that she’ll move to the “swing” since she needed the daylight. The episode ends with all the CSI team having a laugh while driving go-carts and Sara watching from afar (with her hands still injured). Does this mean Sara will be transfered?

Jericho Season 2 Next Month?

TV Week reports that there’s a slim chance Jericho may return next month, as its 7 episode season 2 has completed shooting. Sources suggest that, should Kid Nation, Cane, Moonlight, or Viva Laughlin not perform well, Jericho would be a suitable replacement for them.

Of these shows, Kid Nation would seem to be in the most danger, as it occupies Jericho’s former timeslot and has been struggling in the ratings, far below where Jericho was a year ago.

“The best thing going for ‘Jericho’ is it’s done and ready to go,” CBS head of programming Kelly Kahl says. “But it’s too early to tell what time period is going to be available.”

If these shows all manage to survive through next month, we can expect Jericho some time in January.

Furthermore, if CBS doesn’t renew the show beyond the second season, “There’s still going to be a lot more story to tell,” executive producer Carol Barbee says. “If the fans keep it up, we’ll tell it somewhere.”
