Happy Monday TV fans! After watching Starz’s Ash vs Evil Dead season 3 episode 2 last night, I think it’s important to remember what’s truly important in terms of fatherhood. While bonding and swapping stories may seem like the right play, perhaps filtering them for what’s appropriate might come in handy…. unless you are Ash Williams that is. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Booth Three,” Ash is having some trouble connecting with his daughter, Brandy. While he desperately tries to be a “cool dad,” it looks like he will have to find something more meaningful to connect to her on. Meanwhile, Ruby has set her sights on Brandy and is posing as the school’s guidance counselor, Pablo is hearing voices, Dalton reveals he is gluten free, and Ash gets into a sticky predicament at the sperm bank. My top 5 moments from Ash vs Evil Dead season 3 episode 2 are:
5
Pablo is hearing voices.
The ancient text from “The Book of the Dead” is back and insists on re-surfacing on Pablo’s body. While it seems like it is merely causing him some discomfort at first, the side-effects are getting worse. Pablo begins hearing voices and even hallucinates about a naked woman in a mask. She warns him that only his uncle’s magic can save him, but will Pablo take her advice? Kelly refuses to believe that Pablo’s soul is in mortal danger, despite the warning from Dalton. She knows that Pablo can fight it and is nothing but good, but Dalton thinks he could still go demon. Either “he kills us or we kill him.” Perhaps there is a happy medium between all of the killing that Kelly can come up with to save her best friend.

Ash teaches the gang about “Multi-tasking.”
After listening to Dalton provide some history on the “demon woman of fire,” which is clearly Ruby, we learn about his role in protecting the prophesied one. Ash has heard enough, however; and expresses his gratitude to Dalton: “thanks for the scoop poindexter.” Ash has a lot on his mind with dealing with the threat of evil and accepting his new role as a father so he suggests that they “gotta do that thing when you’re driving in a car putting on deodorant…what’s that called?” Oh right…multi-tasking. While it seems like a good enough suggestion, will Ash be too distracted to handle the deadites heading his way?

Ruby has a career change.
In the beginning of the episode, we learn that Ash’s daughter, Brandy’s guidance counselor has been trying to reach her, which seems innocent enough. However, we quickly learn that Mrs. Prevett is Ruby in disguise. She eagerly comforts Brandy while pressing her for information, but what does she want with Ash’s daughter? Well after giving birth to a baby from “The Book of the Dead” that will literally eat your face off, she is ready for her child to grow up to be the new prophesied one and must eliminate Ash and his seed, Brandy in order for this to happen. We learn that her baby was “born from the image of Ash but will be nothing like him,” so it looks like Ash will need to get this fatherhood thing down quickly if he’s going to be ready.

“I’m one of those cool dads like you see in the movies.”
Brandy doesn’t really seem to be buying into Ash’s “cool dad” act too much especially after losing her mother and her best friend in such a violent and horrible way. Ash decides to try and bond with Brandy, which seems like the right call, until he goes into specific details about his sexcapades with her mom, forcing poor Brandy to tune out Ashy Slashy with the radio. It is going to take some time for Brandy to accept Ash into her heart, but hopefully she will trust her father enough to protect her from the forces of evil.

“That is a long sad story.”
Ash pays his favorite sperm bank a visit and requests “Booth Three,” but comes to the realization that someone else might be using his sperm and that he could have a whole football team of Williams kids ready to knock down his door and ruin his life. He requests a “por favor” and asks if anyone has used his sperm which is against the law. Luckily for Ash, he has brought a 20 percent off coupon to his store. After compromising on 30 percent off, Ash is in business. He takes this opportunity to occupy Booth Three with one of his favorite dirty magazines, but things go horribly wrong when evil bursts in and Ash literally gets attacked by the woman in his magazine. While the deadites are clearly after Ash’s sperm to destroy any future threats, Ash’s fantasy quickly becomes a nightmare. Right before he shoves the magazine in a drawer the woman screams that “I’m not finished yet,” and Ash teaches her a valuable lesson when he explains “that’s what they all say baby.” While this all happens before Ash can obtain the information he needs, it’s apparent that Ruby is behind this, clearing the way for her own baby to rule the world and destroy everything and everyone in its path.
I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own thoughts and comments on Ash vs Evil Dead below. Thanks for reading and happy viewing!
