Happy Monday TV fans! After watching Starz’s Ash vs Evil Dead season 3 episode 5 last night, I think it’s sometimes necessary to find your destiny by closing your eyes and trusting your instincts. Although this decision seems pretty important when it involves ensuring you choose good over evil with no do-overs. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Baby Proof,” Kelly and Brandy continue to get attacked by demon Pablo, which causes Pablo’s spirit to enter into another realm. Meanwhile, Ash makes the connection that the evil baby is his son and tries to give him a time out that ends in one of them being stuffed into a trunk. My top 5 moments from Ash vs Evil Dead season 3 episode 5 are:
5
“Don’t make me get my leg waxed.”
Kelly and Brandy are still under attack from demon Pablo and Kelly quickly learns that the miniature Pablo torturing her wound is connected to the demon Pablo. She strategically uses fire to severely hurt Pablo and screams out “hot tamale!” While it seems like this can hold him off temporarily, Brandy takes matters into her own hands when she stabs Pablo to Kelly’s horror. While Pablo does not die, Kelly does not want to face a world without him. At the end of the episode, Kelly says that she is “done being fucked with,” and decides to go after Ruby herself. While Kelly is not one to be messed with, is she any match for Ruby?

“You keep your hands off of my boomstick.”
In case you are not familiar, the “boomstick” is Ash’s shotgun which he has used in Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness. It rarely leaves Ash’s side and when Heidi attempts to use it to attack the demon baby, Ash has to put her in check. She clearly does not understand the history and sentimental value of this weapon, but we sure do!

Pablo becomes “El Brujo Especial.”
After Brandy stabs Pablo, Pablo’s spirit wakes up in a void between realms and he comes face to face with the naked lady who we now know is named Maritza, along with his dead uncle. Pablo has brought the Kandarian dagger and his uncle explains that he can now become “El Brujo Especial,” which Pablo innocently confuses with the name of a beer. The task is not an easy one, however; as Pablo must choose between darkness and light. Pablo trusts his instincts and says he’s got this and successfully chooses the right path. When he wakes up, Kelly is so happy to see him and kisses him, which leads to a very interesting reaction on Pablo’s part, “where’s Ash?” Pablo has embraced his new destiny and knows that he needs to help Ash with his fight against evil. It’s great to have Pablo back, but what powers and responsibilities come along with being “El Brujo Especial?” We’ll have to stay tuned to find out, but perhaps Ruby is not the most powerful one of all anymore.

“Here I come!”
After seeing that the baby demon has a miniature chainsaw arm, Ash quickly puts two and two together and realizes that this must be his son. “That’s a little me!” While the baby demon has got the smiling and giggling down pat, his idea of fun and games is a little bit more than Ash can handle. Each time the baby yells out “Here I come,” a duck toy with a beyond creepy laugh almost surrounds them. As a side note, I’m still having nightmares about this duck. In a panic, Heidi destroys the ducky toy which was a big mistake, causing her to lose her life and her head…not sure where that went. The baby demon takes things to the next level by playing a game of hide and seek like no other, as he literally crawls into the body of dead Heidi using different body orifices, which will have your skin crawling. Ash tries to tell him that he is “way too young to be going up there” but the baby demon refuses to listen, leaving Ash with only one choice: to utilize a bowling ball to plug up one orifice to trap “Tiny Tim” there until he can get to the bottom of this.

Brandy makes the right decision.
After surviving the attack from demon Pablo, Brandy is still not sure what to believe. Ash and Ruby both show up trying to get her to come with them and even after Ash reveals that he has the baby demon, which now looks like an ordinary baby, locked up in his trunk, she makes the right call. Brandy trusts her gut and goes with Ash. Ash is more than pleased and says, “This is the first time you ever called me Dad,” which at least gives him hope and a future with one of his children. Now that Brandy has chosen her father over Ruby, will she be in even more danger? While it seems likely, it looks like Ash is building up quite the miniature army against Ruby, but will it be enough to stop her for good?
I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own thoughts and comments on Ash vs Evil Dead below. Happy viewing!
