You own the pumpkin never, let the pumpkin own you! Mandales think twice about wearing them lads, they may not be the way to go.

Nice one boys catching your demon with the first 2 minutes of the show, after all he did give a new meaning to the term handgun.

I’m pleased to say that this episode does lend itself to a whole new side of feeling. With there being no way to dispose of the captured vessel (Gladys is taking a well deserved break to party!) Sam has to keep it with him. He was doing fine with this until Socks places the vessel in front of him and the demon inside starts talking, or should I say begging to be let out.  When Sam puts his foot down and puts the yapping vessel away he gets the comeback line of “he really does have a stick up his ass” which turns out to have come from the ever loveable Socks. Oh Socks that’s not a nice thing to say is it now?

It seems that Sam thinks his lucks in with his escaped soul already court ( who happens to be none other than Patton Oswalt from the fantastic film Ratatouille and TV show King Of Queens) but in fine fashion it seems that, he couldn’t be any farther from a few days rest. There’s another job to be done and this not only comes, with Vessel most fitting of the job it’s being used for, but a very sweet looking and exceptionally tuff little dog.

For Sam this vile demon could really be the one to put him to the test. Not only is he out for masses of blood, he just happens to be a rather huge, vicious dog creature with some major rage issues and long daggers on the ends of his big paws.

For all of you special people out there, we don’t just get shirtless Sam in this episode. We almost get the whole package. But we are saved from having to avert our eyes just in the nick of time, by none other than the devil himself. 

Sock strikes again! Because he lets out Leon, they're already captured soul. (In this case, could humour be the root of all evil?) Then we see that even if he is incapable of thinking things through, he proves his allegiants to friendship when he puts his own life on the line to, stand by Sam, when Leon decides to turn the tables on the ever too trustful boys. Following this they find that using the wrong vessel carrier will get you blown skyward, in this case that couldn’t come at a better time until Sam almost gets eaten. But all applause for the power of distraction should go to Spike, as he gives Sam the vital second he needs to end the butcher's nefarious actions.

Oh forgiveness, you think that with a simple apology that would be all that needed to make thing as they once were. Now a message to all those men out there who think that, that’s all it takes, take a leaf out of Sam's book. Sam has already said sorry to Andi on more than one occasion. It’s not until he’s practically on the floor begging for her forgiveness, that all is made well and drinks are arranged for that evening. Go Sam go it can’t be long before you’re both completely loved up.

It seems that it could be time for Sam to rethink his current line of employment. After seeing him calmly talk Leon back in to his vessel I think he should become a therapist. After all what could be better that just sitting down all day and just talking, it would be a lot less stressful than working the “The Work Bench” under Ted.
