‘Ash vs Evil Dead’ recap episode 105: ‘The Host’

On Saturday’s Ash vs Evil Dead, Ruby and Fisher pursue Ash while Kelly battles demonic possession.

Kelly tells Pablo and the Brujo that Ash is possessed by Eligos. He’s gagged and tied. The Brujo asks Pablo for boiling water and a knife to exorcise the demon.

Pablo returns to the trailer after giving his uncle the supplies. He’s upset that his uncle is treating him like a servant. Kelly says they need to stay calm. She finds a bag of pot in Ash’s drawers and asks Pablo to look for a pipe.

Fisher and Ruby are driving down backroads, being led by Ash’s possessed hand. Ruby tells Fisher to look past logic.

Pablo finds Kelly smoking out of the shotgun. She says it’s not loaded. She hits on him and he admits to liking her. She tries to force him to take a hit off the gun and puts a shell in the chamber. He avoids it, but it goes off. Kelly’s face becomes demonic.

The Brujo shakes charms at Ash, but nothing happens. He starts a blood ritual with a chicken, but Ash tells him that Kelly is the demon. They hear the gun shot and run to the trailer. Pablo has Kelly at gunpoint.

The Brujo ties Kelly to a post and starts ritual to remove the demon. She spits a tooth out. The Brujo tries feeding her leeches and covering her with sanctified water, but the demon is too strong. Pablo tells Kelly to fight it. She spits acid at him and beats her head against the post.

Pablo apologizes to the Brujo for leaving. The Brujo says he needed to leave to find Ash.

Kelly asks Ash to kill her before the demon can. When she tells him to put a cross on her grave, he knows it’s the demon. Kelly is Jewish.

The Brujo tells Pablo that they can either finish Kelly quickly or watch the demon tear her apart. Pablo says he’ll give the demon another host. He tells Eligos to take him instead. The demon crawls out of Kelly’s mouth. It throws the Brujo onto a metal spike, killing him.

Ash remembers to shoot first and think never. He swings his chainsaw at the demon who disappears. When Ash swings around, he aims his shotgun and shoots Eligos as soon as he appears. The demon explodes.

Ash approaches Kelly. She can’t remember anything after arriving at the Brujo’s house. They build a pyre to burn the Brujo’s body. Once lit, Kelly and Ash give Pablo space to say goodbye. As he apologizes, his uncle’s medallion shoots out of the fire to his feet. Pablo thanks him. As he walks to the car, the Brujo’s wards along the driveway go up in flames.

Ash apologizes to Kelly and Pablo for starting everything. Pablo gives him the mechanical hand they made for him. They drive away.
