Evil Recap: A Loss For Words


This is one of those episodes where Evil relishes being completely off-the-wall bonkers and yet so emotionally affecting on a personal, human level.

When Andrea finds him asleep at his desk one afternoon, she finally gets a nice look at what’s going on: A giant hole has been burrowed in his side (only she can see it) but a tiny demon with a big New York accent, who is currently pulling out pieces of Father Ignatius and filling him with rocks. Martin and Wallace Shawn are so wonderful here and the dialogue is simple but powerful and so true to the grief experience (this episode was written by Aurin Squire and directed by Darren Grant). He enlists Sheryl’s help and for the price of several demon transfusion bottles (you know, the stuff keeping the pep in her step), she arrives and quickly realizes the only thing that will soothe this baby is the sound of his birth mother’s voice.
