Let’s talk about love. Let’s talk about life. Let’s talk about trust— Wait, this isn’t a Celine Dion song. But those topics do drive this week’s episode. With souls and demons trying to be good and co-workers being bad to each other, what exactly makes someone a better person?

It’s only human to want things you don’t have: freedom from a contract or temptation, a vacation with your boyfriend, a boyfriend period, or a chance with your smokin’ stepsister. This week Sam searches for a soul with answers, Ben piques a demon’s interest, and Sock tries to make Kristin see their relationship his way.

Fellow Reaper fans: our boys are back! Some people are happier than others to have them back, though. The Devil welcomes his beloved Reaper Sam with his biggest bounty hunt yet, a worried Andi less than welcomes him back after fearing the worst for him, and Ted is all too thrilled to welcome all the boys back with the cops. But what else is in store for them besides angry girlfriends and slightly sadistic bosses?

Sam: Now I wanna know the truth.

I want to know the truth too, Sam. Does your dad have an earthworm’s respiratory system, or is there something weird about him? Thank the big guy there’s a second season. The finale left me asking more questions than it answered, and if this were the last episode period I’d hate never watching them explored.

"Reaper" Recap & Review - "The Leak"

Reaper
“The Leak”

Original Air Date: May 13, 2008

Ashi – TwoCents Reviewer

People like to say that honesty is the best policy. Well. Most of the characters in this week’s episode seem to be ignoring that piece of advice for their own reasons. In an episode wrought with infidelity, deceit, and fake marriages depicted with photoshopped family albums, probably the most important of these lies concerns Sam’s contract. Those of you who were disappointed last week’s episode strayed from the mythology the post-strike episodes have built up will be thrilled this week’s returned to it in a very big way. The show revisits its most monumental scene and asks what the fans have wanted to know since Mr. Oliver burned pages out of Sam’s hefty contract. What kind of secret could be so horrible he’d destroy the contract to keep it from his son? Key word there, “son.”

“The only person playing by the rules is you,” Satan tells Sam. And so it’s true, when you have Greg trying to steal Andi out of her relationship, Ben seeing another woman, Sara holding Ben to marital double standards, and the Devil… Well, does he ever play fair? Here we have a tale of temptation – how far is our Reaper willing to go to get his girlfriend back and set things right?

Here’s a pop quiz. What do you do when your significant other sees you chop a guy’s head off on a bounty hunt?
a) Tell them the truth over drinks
b) Get your friends to kidnap and stuff them in the trunk of a car
c) Show them a normal man transforming into a demon
d) Get your Satanic boss to kidnap and stuff them in the trunk of a car
e) All of the above
If you’re Sam in this situation and Andi’s threatening to call the cops on you, apparently your answer is e). You’re usually pretty safe bubbling “all of the above” in those multiple-choice tests.

Ashi – TwoCents Reviewer

Satan can’t get into circles, but it’s harder for our Reaper to get out of Satan’s grasp. Sam gets roped into a demon rebellion against his evil employer, but who’s really running the show?

Devil: The guy was a lawyer, of course. We have a lot of those in hell.
A hospital janitor posing as a doctor convinces Andi she hallucinated the fight between Sam and last episode’s escaped soul. As the boys indulge in free beer addressed to their apartment’s previous tenant, the Devil transports Sam to a bus stop to…invite him for ice cream? Sam just wants to get his assignment and go. Greedy injury case lawyer Cubby Bryce is out bleeding his victims dead.

We see a demon in true form, get mention about past Reapers, and discover how Sam’s different from the Devil’s other minions. The pending romance between our Reaper and Andi finally progresses, but what’ll Sam do when she’s unwittingly involved in his dangerous business?

Sam leaves a concerned voice message for Cady on his way to work. She hasn’t called him since she left for her mom’s in New Mexico. When Sam meets Sock and Ben, they’re discussing what to do about their awesome but demonic neighbors Steve and Tony. The boys decide to avoid the couple since they can’t move out so soon. Andi pulls Sam aside to apologize about what she said about Cady and admits it came out of realizing she likes him. Sam doesn’t know what to think. He’s liked her for a long time, but he’s with Cady.

Sock lives in the Work Bench since getting kicked out of his house, and he’s had it. He calls Sam to complain, but Sam has other problems: a beastly-snoring girlfriend. After Cady wakes up, they meet Sock and Ben for bowling, which the guys do often. Somehow she strikes every round, even after throwing a gutter ball that hops back and strikes.
