On last night's Reaper, Morgan (Armie Hammer) was back and offered to pay Sam $20,000 to help him capture the latest lost soul... a virgin who died while coveting a married woman.

Find out if Sam was able to capture this poor soul, what Nina and Ben did for their two month anniversary, and how Sock and Kristen did with their parents back in our "The Good Soil" recap.

Now for some instantly classic Reaper quotes mostly thanks to Sock and Nina in this episode:

Kristen: My father cannot know I date my stepbrother.
Sock: All right, sure, look, he'll be shocked at first. Yeah, so is the father of every girl I've ever dated, all right? But eventually, I promise you, he will settle into a nice, grudging acceptance | permalink

Devil: You know, in the old days I used to get the souls that ate shrimp. Can you imagine how unsatisfying that was? | permalink

Sam: Maybe Hell will think it's a mix-up. If not, we got to send Billy back.
Sock: Eh. Either way we get to enjoy the night air and desecrate a cemetery | permalink

Reaper Recap: "Underbelly"

eric@tvfanatic.com (Eric Hochberger) — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:06:11 EST

Last night's episode of Reaper borrowed a lot more from the horror genre than the usual episode as the gang took a trip to a small ghost town, Dove Hollow, to capture the latest lost soul.

So how did the guys do against the creature that controlled the town? Find out in our "Underbelly" recap.

Now for the usual hilarious Reaper quotes from the episode:

Nina: Ben is adorable, and I really, really like him. But, um, he's just a little clingy. Sometimes. Kind of makes me wanna rip out his internal organs and show them to him. Well, not really, but you know what I mean | permalink

Sock: Okay, if we were meeting at the bar right now. I would probably try and pick you up with my best line.
Kristen: Okay.
Sock: Okay. Ahem. Excuse me. Hi. I think you're standing on my penis.
Kristen: I'm not sure I understand, but it sounds charming | permalink

Nina: I'm probably going to get something to eat.
Ben: Cool, I like eating.
Nina: Do you like to eat llama? Because I'm going to eat a live llama | permalink

Reaper Losing Its Creators

eric@tvfanatic.com (Eric Hochberger) — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 19:20:59 EST

Despite Reaper beating 90210 in the ratings, it looks like The CW will be losing its funniest supernatural dramedy. No offense, Supernatural, you just don't have Sock or Ray Wise as the Devil.

According to Zap2It, Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters - the creators of the hilarious show - have signed a seven-figure two-year-deal with 20th Century Fox that asks them to leave the series behind.

So without its creators and producers, how much faith do you have in Reaper's return? It's currently in its second season and has yet to be renewed.

Reaper Recap: "I Want My Baby Back"

eric@tvfanatic.com (Eric Hochberger) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 09:50:22 EST

On last night's Reaper, Sam was able to dispatch the lost soul pretty quickly, but dealing with her baby she left behind was a whole different issue.

Known as IBOH (Intentional Birth Out of Hell) in the Reaper universe, these babies must return to Hell just as their lost soul parents do. So was good guy Sam able to send an innocent baby to Hell just because the Devil told him to?

Find out what happened to the baby, how Morgan ended up on a date with Andi, how Sock went through a chemical castration, and what happened to Sam's dad in our "I Want My Baby Back" recap.

Here's some of our favorite Reaper quotes from the episode:

Gladys [about the baby]: Oh, an IBOH.
Sock: What's an IBOH?
Gladys: Intentional Birth Out of Hell. It happens. Souls have been known to escape from Hell to have their children here. Better schools | permalink

Sock: You know, it's like your talking. I can hear the stupid words coming out of your mouth but they have no meaning. | permalink

Ben: Take me and Nina.
Sock: Nope.
Ben: We're friends, but we have our sexual side.
Sock: Yeah.
Ben: But then we keep it it in a box and take it out when we need it. We enjoy it. We play with it. Then we put it back in the box when we're all done.
Sock: There is no box that contain this sexuality, Ben. All right. Uncontainable. That's how I was born. In fact, the delivery room doctor said I was the sexiest baby she'd ever seen | permalink

Last week's episode of Reaper, "The Favorite," ended with a tease of Sam's dad (Mr. Oliver, not the Devil) coming back. It looks like on next week's episode, "I Want My Baby Back," his father is playing a bigger role.

Reaper Recap: "The Favorite"

eric@tvfanatic.com (Eric Hochberger) — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 11:58:26 EST

Season two of Reaper has been on fire! Last night's episode, "The Favorite" introduced us to yet another new character for the season, Morgan (guest star Arnie Hammer), the Devil's favorite son.

Besides the great dynamic of the hard-working Sam being very jealous of the well-liked, partying Morgan, the episode continued to move the overall episode forward and even saw Sam's dad reappear.

As far as our other two Reaper goons, Ben was experiencing problems with Nina in the bedroom and Sock was busy trying to sub-contract Ted to do his work at the Work Bench.

It was a fantastic episode and you can catch up on all the events in our "The Favorite" recap. Now for some of our favorite quotes:

Devil: Am I detecting a little sibling rivalry here? Don't worry, Sammy, there's no real competition. I'm always going to like him a little better than I like you | permalink

Devil: Now, I suggest that you grab that portrait tonight. If it stays there too long, Fitzgerald will show up and reclaim it, and more people will die.
Sam: Since when did you care if people got killed?
Devil: I don't. Good call. | permalink

Sam [about Morgan]: He's kind of the son of your boss
Gladys: So is Genghis Khan, you expect me to be impressed with a gap ad? | permalink

Reaper Recap: "The Sweet Science"

eric@tvfanatic.com (Eric Hochberger) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 13:57:16 EST

Last night was the third episode of the sophomore season of Reaper and it definitely maintained the quality we've seen so far in the season. Going back to the roots of the first season, the episode mostly focused on the lost soul, a boxer who disagraced himself when he threw a fight while alive.

In addition to Sam and Sock taking on one of the most fleshed out lost souls of the show's history, Ben introduced the gang to his demond girlfriend, Nina (Jenny Wade). Andi, meanwhile, got promoted to Ted's old position of manager and had to deal with Sock's fictional employee, Less Nessman.

All in all, it was a hilarious episode that actually helped advance the characters a little. You can cach up on all the events in our "The Sweet Science" recap, but you'll probably have more fun enjoying the quotes from the episode. Here's some of our favorites:

Ben: So I went to the mall alone...
Sock: Sure.
Ben: ...to buy a couple of pairs of pants.
Sock: I'm sorry. You bought a couple of pairs of pants? Since when do you need more than one pair of pants? What are you, Jude Law? | permalink

Sock: Yeah, Nina, nice. I like a girl who eats like a trucker.
Nina: Thank you, Sock | permalink

Nina [about the geode she gave Ben]: It might have a little bit of hellfire left in it. But don't worry, it's perfectly safe. Just don't ever sleep next to it, it'll give you nightmares. And don't ever make wishes on it. And then just use a regular damp cloth to clean it | permalink

Reaper Recap: "Dirty Sexy Mongol"

eric@tvfanatic.com (Eric Hochberger) — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 17:34:01 EST

On last night's Reaper, Sam and the boys had to chase after the latest lost soul, a Mongolian warrior. However, the focus of this episode was definitely not the Mongolian as he only had two scenes in the episode.

Sock was busy trying to court his sister by showing off his dance moves. Ben was trying to care for his new rabbit until he got kidnapped by a demon. Sam and Adi were busy trying to track down Alan, the man who escaped from hell.

Find out what happened in our "Dirty Sexy Mongol" recap. Here's our favorite quotes from the episode:

Sock [to Topher]: She's my sister and the only one allowed to have sex with her is me | permalink

Sock [about Kristen wrestling with him]: It's like she's water-boarding my boys, Sammy. They're constantly blue | permalink

Sock: This is so unfair. I am not her brother. I mean, I don't even look like her. Why does she insist on labeling me as her brother. I just want her to see me the way the rest of the world does.
Sam: And how is that?
Sock: As a sexual magician | permalink

Devil [to Sam]: Well, I'll try to watch your back, buddy. But you know, you got to remember I'm a busy guy. It's an election year | permalink

Reaper Spoilers: Really Steamy

eric@tvfanatic.com (Eric Hochberger) — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 15:29:29 EST

Now that everyone has been able to see the season premiere of Reaper, we want to know the future of Sock's relationship with his step-sister. After all, he did call dibs on her.

Luckily Kristin Dos Santos caught up with Tyler Labine when he was in her building and Tyler reveals that things between Sock and Kristen are going to get "really steamy."

Now our question is, should we be cheering for this vaguely incestuous duo? Well it worked in Clueless for us, so why not Reaper?
