Last week on Ash vs Evil Dead, our unlikely heroes traveled to Elk Grove, Michigan to find Ruby. This week, they try to get ahold of the Necronomicon before her evil children do.
Brock is getting ready for a date when Ash and friends arrive on his doorstep. He doesn’t believe them about the demons. They go up to Ash’s room where Ash has flashbacks to the cabin. Ruby reminds Ash that they need to get the Necronomicon before her spawns find it. It’s buried inside a body at the morgue.
A morgue attendant is cutting into a body when a body drawer opens behind him. The corpse within grabs a scalpel and the lights go out. The body stabs the morgue attendant and he goes down.
Ash, Kelly and Pablo discuss what to do about Ruby. They don’t trust her. Pablo offers to torture her for information with the Kandarian dagger. Ash and Kelly leave him to it.
From the car, Ash and Kelly see Lillian Pendergrass show up at his father’s house. She was an older woman that he had sex with when he was younger. He thinks she’s there for him, but she’s his father’s date. Ash is upset and speeds off towards the morgue.
At the morgue, the lights flicker. What’s waiting for him? Ash enters, looking for the correct body. He tries to open one with a bone saw, but it takes too long. He uses a chainsaw instead. He doesn’t find anything so he moves on to the next.
Pablo questions Ruby about his visions. She doesn’t know what he’s talking about. She overpowers him and holds him down.
Ash finds a body with a book shape in its gut. He pulls the body open and tries to remove the book, but it fights him. The intestines come to life and attack him. He gets his head stuck in the anal cavity. Ash pulls himself loose and shoots the body, gaining the book. When he stands up, he notices a drawer with Lillian’s name. His father’s date is a Deadite.
Kelly hears the elevator open, but no one is there. Not a good sign. Suddenly a man appears behind her. It’s the sheriff. Kelly won’t let him pass. They fight and she knocks him out. Kelly’s afraid she’ll be arrested, but Ash makes it look like Emery peed his pants. He says they used to do that when Emery got beat up in high school and he never told because he didn’t want to look bad.
Lillian asks Brock when Ash will be home. Upstairs, Ruby is questioning Pablo about his powers. Lillian hears them moving around and tells Brock she’s going to freshen up.
Ash almost hits a couple of teenagers on his way home. He taunts them after they get nasty. How will this play into the rest of the episode?
Pablo awakens to Ruby hogtying him from the ceiling. She slices his throat and he wakes for real. It was a premonition. Ruby asks what he saw, but he just backs away from her. Lillian bursts into the room. Ruby fights her but drops the dagger. Pablo hits Lillian in the face and Ruby finishes her off with a piece of broken wood. Then Ash and Kelly arrive.
Pablo tells everyone about his vision and Ruby says her children’s goal is to raise their father. She asks them where the book is. Ash left it locked in the Delta. Suddenly, someone whoops and steals the car. It’s one of the teenagers from earlier. We’ll have to wait until next week to see what our heroes do.
