Reaper: Hump Day
Sam rustles up Sock and Andi to go on a teacher hunt (not that any of them needed an arm-twisting to convince them to come along) and find after they whack him on the head with a mallet (where does the Devil come up with these vessels?) that he's not the soul. They're really looking for a fellow tormented student. In order to cover their own asses and to protect Mr. Sprong from the soul, they kidnap him and hold him hostage at Sock's house -- ahh duct tape can do anything!
When Sock isn't kidnapping former teachers, he's dressing up as The Bench's mascot -- Wrenchy Wrench. Yeah, the sight of Sock in a giant wrench costume had us tumbled over in laughter as well. Maybe Sock should look into gainful employment at Disney World, where he can dress up like random characters everyday. And the kids love him...until he takes part in public fisticuffs with an old woman dressed up as a hammer from the rival home improvement big box store.
But all hope is not lost for the wrench suit. Sock and Ben transform the foam contraption into a super-killer robot suit so Ben can fight off the male demons skulking around the house, entranced by Nina's pheromones. Seems it's that time of the month for Nina and the demon-boys are going wild, much to Ben's dismay. The suit works wonders for Ben in a death-match against a particular persistent male demon. And by wonders we mean the suit protected poor Ben's frail human body from the gyrations of the demon's libido. With Nina's scent all over him, the demon couldn't tell the difference between Ben and the object of his sex drive. It wasn’t pretty.
Unsurprisingly, Mr. Sprong went to the cops after being released by Sam once the soul was caught, and unsurprisingly, the cops failed to believe his story about the whole catching escaped souls with a magic mallet. Whew! Now that the threat of incarceration has passed, the crew can focus on more important things, like convincing themselves they're not the losers who still hold their high school jobs.
What did you think? Do you remember a particular teacher from high school that gave you nothing but trouble?

Epic episode. Extremely well done and great performaces on all parts. The robot rape made me laugh. This is like my comedy substitute to supernatural when i get bored of watching the drama.
