  • The truth comes out

    yeah, Andi learns the truth about Sam. Even though it took about 15 episodes for her to follow him. I mean seriously, what type of person waits that long to find out someones secret. This of course puts a damp on Sam and Andi's relationship (what doesn't) and Andi becomes a ally. Whatever the demon got defeated way too quickly. I know he showed up later again, but that demon couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. Andi really annoyed me this episode, i hope that she dies soon. That would be pretty cool, so this episode sucked and I'm starting to lose faith in the show.moreless

    I love the way the story keeps evolving!! After Andi by accident sees Sam "killing" a soul, she is terrified of him, and threatens to go to the police. In order to stop her, Sam strikes a deal with the devil (not a good idea...) so he can tell her the truth. Off course she doesn't believe him, until the guys take her to see Tony, and he turns into a demon in front of her. Sam finally tells her that he loves her... that was so sweet... :)
    The sidestory is that now both Sam and Sock have a girlfriend, they want to find one for Ben. Ben has a list over qualities he wants a future girlfriend to posses. While pondering if it's too specific, he ends up marrying a girl for her to get her green card!! Off course she ends up being quite a b*tch. I can't wait to see how he's going to get out of that... ;)
    The deal that Sam made with the devil turns out to be that he has to spy on Tony and the new rebel-army. But if the devil can't see anything inside the circle, can't Sam just lie...?? I expect the devil wouldn't mind a bit of double-crossing... ;)moreless

    Good idea for the plot which sees the Devil up to more conieving tricks as he lays a trap for Sam. With Andi in danger does he have a choice? - Of course he does. He can defy the devil and pay - but no, otherwise the setup for the next couple of episodes wont happen.

    Im wondering if Andi finding out is such a great idea, so early on. However, in terms of this episode its necessary as most of the dramatic action and conflict stems from her seeing what Sam does and only knowing half-the-truth! As they argue about him going to the police, the devil seizes on the chance for more manipulation of his favourite employee to get Sam to a make promise w/o considering the consequences - placing him in more jeapardy that possible!

    With the remnants of the rebellion regrouping, the writers do a clever misdirection by keeping out focus on the Andi situ and making us think that the Devils favour will have something to do with her. Instead it isnt.

    The episode takes place away from the apartment and the Workbench, mostly taking place at the office of the latest escaped soul, the bar and the new location for the new rebellion.

    The capture of escaped soul is merely there to provide Andi the chance to spot what Sam's secret is and unfold the story. As for the Ben storyline - ? Why?! A real filler device that doesnt add much to the storyline.

    Im afraid that with the stakes not rising, the show's ability to keep me caring about Sam and what happens is starting to dive. Im not sure its going to be enough for me unless we see more of a "divine goal" for Sam and more conflict between him and the Devil with ever-rising stakes.

    Still a high quality episode with good dialogue and a decent plot. However, nothing really to get excited about!moreless

    Sam chases a narcissistic demon who loves having kids. No, he doesn't sleep with women, he probably thinks he's too good for most of them, but instead, he tricks women who need sperm donors to take his sperm. It isn't that hard, considering he is the one advising women on which sperm to take.

    Andi finally discovers Sam's secret, but not before being gravely freaked out a number of times as well. It's going to be interesting for me on how Andi will assist in capturing demons, I'd definitely love to see her kicking some demon's bee-hind.

    Ben goes out there and tries to find his Ms. Perfect, but after a talk from Sock on how impossible it is, he decides to settle with a girl who actually needs to get married. But what happens when he eventually finds the girl of his dreams? This came off as a bit corny, but it had its moments.moreless
