The Devil has really been pushing Sam towards ruling Earth for him in the last few weeks. Just recently Sam and his half-brother Morgan were forced to compete for the job and it was Sam who accidentally won that gig. Since Sam knows very little about Hell, he was given access to a tutor, a young woman that The Devil has had his eyes on for some time now.

Sam didn’t waste any time when it came to coming up with a plan. He quickly devised a plan to seduce his teacher and convince her to reveal all of the secrets about The Devil in hopes of uncovering a way to get out of the deal with The Devil.

Jenny Wade as Nina

I knew Andi wasn’t going to exactly like Sam’s plan because of their relationship, but I was a little surprised when Andi kind of laughed at it because she knows that Sam isn’t much of a seducer. She pointed out the lame way that he got her and it was one of the funnier moments in the episode.

Reaper isn’t entirely a drama. The show is also very funny and I found the story with Sock, Ben, and Nina to be quite entertaining. After some time apart, Nina decided she would get Ben back, but the way she went about doing it was a little crazy. She nearly killed him on multiple occasions.

Sock put himself out there to keep the two of them apart. Nina can be nice, but she’s also very dangerous given the fact that she’s a demon and all. The dream that Sock had about Nina was very funny… not to mention stimulating. I was not expecting to see Jenny Wade (Nina) to strip down to just about nothing to seduce Sock into allowing Nina to get back to Ben. Sock remained loyal and refrained from doing any “demon banging”, as he put it.

“No Reaper Left Behind” ended as I suspected, with Sam not getting what he wanted. He didn’t get help from his teacher and it doesn’t look like Alan is going to be of a whole lot of help given the fact that The Devil tricked him back into Hell with the Vegas trip.

I was surprised by Sam’s dad who decided it was time to go to Hell and do something with his life. His father grew tired of sitting around and doing nothing. I kind of felt sorry for him. There’s not much you can do if you’re half-dead like that.

    I kinda thought the ending with the Devil was kinda hokey, but overall I liked the episode.

    Reaper fans: Tell the CW! The show is not officially canceled yet, but there’s precious little time left until May upfronts. Remember, last year Reaper was declared dead too, but came back at the last minute to get a renewal.
