On this past episode of Ash vs Evil Dead, Ash proves his innocence to the people of Elk Grove while trying to fight Baal.
Pablo has a seizure and is thrown around by the Necronomicon inside of him. He sits up and vomits blood.
The townspeople converge on the Sheriff’s station demanding Ash be put away. Emery sees Baal in their midst. Baal convinces him to shoot a woman in the head, but it turns out to be just a vision. Or is it?
Ruby tells Kelly that once the book manifests completely, Pablo will be gone. She wants the book, but Ash refuses to let that happen. Ash has a plan to kill Baal with his chainsaw. Ruby says the chainsaw won’t hurt him. Instead, she wants to wait for the right book passage to appear and use it to send him back to Hell. Pablo continues to vomit vile substances. Will he die before the right passage appears?
The townspeople arrive at Brock’s house and break the windows. Emery leads them, much to Linda’s dismay. Kelly shoots above their heads with a machine gun to scare them away from the house.
Ruby circles Pablo with salt to protect themselves from him. She does an incantation to bring forth the book passages. Pablo’s necklace interferes, but it shocks Ruby when she tries to remove it. Pablo starts chanting and something evil races towards the house. Pablo yanks off the pendant to stop it. His body is covered in runes.
Ash finds Chet in Cheryl’s room. Something breaks the window causing the photo to bleed. Ash and Chet run from the room. A vocal townswoman mentions that they have the book.
Ash hears Cheryl call him from her room. She claims she doesn’t remember dying. Suddenly, she shows herself as a Deadite and traps Chet in her room. Apparently, they’re old lovers. Will she kill him?
The townspeople start shooting at the house. Kelly and Linda shoot back. Kelly heads upstairs to check on Ruby’s progress. She convinces Pablo to try to forcefully bring out the right spell. It’s working!
Cheryl bites Chet and Ash cuts through the door with his chainsaw. They fight and she disappears, taunting him from the shadows. Ash looks for her downstairs where hands reach from the wall and attack him. They try to chop his head off with his own chainsaw.
Pablo pops out with the spell but injures Ruby. She can’t heal herself this time. Her children stole her immortality. Will the wound kill her?
Ash throws Cheryl off his back, but she disappears again and reappears behind Chet who has come downstairs. She rips out Chet’s heart to get to Ash. Ash fights back and she lands outside. Ash tells the townsfolk that he only kills demons and waits for Cheryl to wake up. When she does, they see that Ash is telling the truth. Ash traps her and cuts her up with his chainsaw. The townsfolk cheer.
Emery traps Ash from behind and Baal shows himself as the vocal townswoman. Baal says they should work together and knocks Ash unconscious with the butt of his rifle. We’ll have to wait until next week to find out if Ash escapes.
