Here is an episode summary of  Acid Queen from CW.

SOCK LOSES HIS NEW BEST FRIENDS — Sam (Bret Harrison) tells Sock (Tyler Labine) and Ben (Rick Gonzalez) they can’t be friends with Steve (guest star Michael Ian Black) and Tony (guest star Ken Marino) anymore, which leaves Sock depressed because he has become so used to having Steve and Tony take care of him. The escaped soul is a woman (guest star Emmanuelle Vaugier, “Smallville”) who is threatened by beautiful girls and has come back to kill all the women she feels are more beautiful than she is. Sam panics when he finds out the soul’s next victim is Andi (Missy Peregrym) and races to save her. Ray Wise, Valarie Rae Miller, Donavan Stinson and Andrew Airlie also star. James Head directed the episode written by Alan Cross (#113).

Don’t believe anything you’ve heard about Reaper being canceled. It stays, at least for now. In fact here are spoilers for episode 12 and 13. These are completed episodes before the writer’s strike. Although it is reported that these episodes will air on January, there’s no news of definite dates yet.

There’s something definitely more about Sam’s relationship with the Devil.  A couple of episodes ago, I think, the Devil didn’t want to talk to Sam’s dad.  Like it’s more than a selling his soul thing.  They reacted all too personally.  Also, it would be much easier if the Devil just tell Sam on how to use the vessel or who the escaped soul is or are.  He just leave clues instead.  Kind of like he is training Sam.

So, my theory is, Sam is the Devil’s son and that girl Cady is his sister if she turns out to be the Devil’s daughter ( but eew they kissed in episode 10 : Cash Out ).  His deal with Sam’s dad is that, they take care of Sam in exchange for something.   The Devil has a thing for relationships with earthly women.  Maybe he had one with Sam’s mom.

LOL, Kevin Smith’s Reaper is still proving to be watch worthy. Today’s episode featured a cheesy crime couple, 70’s music, and out of date technology like 8-tracks and beta-max. Sam shown he wasn’t the typical guy wanting only one thing, his sidekicks revealed some keen detective skills and cunning luring techniques. It’s nice to have a show that you can just sit back and watch and not have to do any thinking at all.

Sock, “You can make her go out with you Damien.“

Been looking around the CW site and I found out that they’re going to be having a new show that looks interesting. It’s called Reaper. It looks fun and I’m definitely gonna watch it. Here’s the synopsis taken from Reaper’s official web site and see for yourself.

“For the first 20 years of his life, Sam (Bret Harrison, “The Loop,” “Grounded for Life”) wondered why his parents went so easy on him. Whether it was school, sports or career choices, Sam’s mom (Allison Hossack, “Falcon Beach”) and dad (Andrew Airlie, “The L Word”) always let him get by with the least possible effort. As a result, Sam skipped college, took a dead-end job at the local Work Bench home improvement store and now wastes endless hours playing video games. Everything in his slacker world changed the day Sam turned 21 and discovered the ungodly reason his parents let him slide: they sold his soul to the devil before he was even born.

Though his guilt-ridden parents try to explain the circumstances that led them to the forfeit his soul, Sam can’t wrap his mind around what is happening to him. He’s always been the under-achieving son, while his younger brother Kyle (Kyle Switzer, “15/Love”) was pushed to get straight A’s, excel at every sport and join every club. Kyle resents the easy ride Sam has enjoyed, and Sam can’t help but feel jealousy over Kyle’s achievements. What neither brother realizes is that their lives have been shaped by forces they can’t yet begin to understand.

When Satan himself (Ray Wise, “24,” “The Closer”) drops by to personally explain that Sam must now serve as his bounty hunter, tracking down evil souls that have escaped and returning them to Hell, Sam refuses to accept his bizarre fate. After getting just a glimpse of Satan’s temper, however, Sam realizes that breaking a deal with the devil has consequences that are very, very bad. Still, Sam is fascinated by the devil’s charm and his flattering insistence that Sam is full of untapped potential.

Armed with a constantly changing series of vessels — starting with a Dirt Devil mini-vacuum — to collect the escapees, Sam finds that his new line of work is dangerous and frightening, even with the goofball help of his friends and co-workers Bert “Sock” Wysocki (Tyler Labine, “Boston Legal,” “Invasion”) and Ben (Rick Gonzalez, “Coach Carter”), along with Sock’s former-girlfriend-turned-paralegal, Josie (Valarie Rae Miller, “Dark Angel”). Sock has been Sam’s closest friend and slacker role model for many years and was the first person Sam turned to with the news about his gig with the devil.

A perennial adolescent who attended high school on the six-year plan, Sock is perfectly happy with his life and his job at The Work Bench, where he is a thorn in the side of the assistant manager, Ted (Donavon Stinson, “The Fantastic Four”). Sock thinks Sam’s news is totally cool, and is happy to help with Sam’s assignments from Hell. Ben, on the other hand, immediately grasps the seriousness of Sam’s situation. A college student and the son of a reverend, Ben is also on board to help, but he knows that dealing with the devil is no game.

Sam knows he’ll have to go to great lengths to hide his new identity from the person who matters most in his world: his smart and pretty co-worker Andi (Missy Peregrym, “Smallville,” “Heroes”). Trapped by his lack of self-confidence, Sam has loved Andi from afar, despite Sock’s constant urging that he ask her out. Andi had gone away to college, but came home to her mother and her job at The Work Bench after her father died. Now she’s stuck in a safe job and a safe friendship with Sam.

Though his life has suddenly turned weird and scary, Sam is surprised to find that he somehow feels good about his newfound “mission” — removing evil-doers from the world and sending them back where they belong. Back when nothing was expected of him, Sam never had to push himself to achieve. Now, with his friends and his trusty vessel-of-the-week at his side, Sam is ready to face his destiny as the Reaper.“
