Reaper: I’d Sell My Soul For You, Baby…
Sam and Ben both learn that the course of true love never runs smooth this week on Reaper. Ben is dealing with his inconvenient green-card wife, which puts a damper on his relationship with Cassidy, while Sam loses Andi to her ex-boyfriend Greg. And oh yeah -- he's being stalked by a chainsaw-wielding killer. Doh!
Sam knows something must be up with Andi -- if nothing else, the Devil is taking far too much glee in showing Sam Andi and Greg when they're getting busy. The Devil tells Sam Greg sold his soul to be able to use the Jedi mind trick on Andi -- and the only way to free her will be to kill Greg! That gets a bit more urgent when Sam realizes the masked chainsaw killer who keeps attacking him is actually Greg's rampant id. When he gets mad or stressed out, chainsaw dude comes out. As long as Greg is alive, says the Devil, Andi will be in danger.
The guys go over to Greg's house to take him out, but they realize that's probably not a good way to go. When Greg figures out that even if he can make Andi love him, he can't make her not love Sam, he freaks out at himself -- I'm so stupid! That burst of self-loathing lets chainsaw guy come out to play. The guys eventually knock Greg out, banishing the killer, but that's only a stopgap measure. What will work long-term?
Sam has a plan. Remember that "Get out of hell free" card he got form the Devil a while ago? He uses it on Greg's behalf -- Greg loses his power over Andi and his murderous alter-ego, and he won't be going to hell anymore. The Devil thinks Sam is a sap, but we're impressed -- we think he did the right thing.
Then there's Ben. Sarah announces (to the entire staff) that she's pregnant, which takes Ben by surprise, as he hasn't slept with her. Sarah admits that she's got a boyfriend -- who's kind of married, and has commitment issues -- but she still says he can't date Cassidy. Ben comes clean about the whole situation to Cassidy, and she steps up -- she and Ben meet Sarah at the Bench and tell her the free ride is over. Now Ben gets to hang with his dream girl! Boy, we hope she's not secretly a demon...
