Reaper: Kiss 'n' Tell
Sock takes Kristen dancing in hopes of seducing her. He is a self-described “sexual magician” after all. Things are going swimmingly until the quintessential “club” guy tries to tempt Kristen with his moves. In an effort to match this lothario tit for tat, Sock engages in a poor man’s version of a dance-off. Let’s just say we did a double-take when Topher pulled out the tired rope-and-lasso bit, but nothing could prepare us for Sock’s display of NKTOB’s signature move. Sadly, Sock’s Jordan Knight imitation didn’t impress Kristen, who spent the evening canoodling with Topher. Gross!
However, after a few dates, Kristen finds Topher in the sack with another woman, leaving her heartbroken. See, she was going to surprise Topher by letting him strip her of her virginity. Isn’t it just shocking to find out that the guy you randomly met in the club last weekend has another girl on the side (or two)? Sock very sweetly comforts Kristen and even gives her a very brotherly pep talk on keeping her “ladyhood” safe. Based on this exchange, Kristen reasons she should save herself for marriage and enlists Sock to help keep her pure. He just can’t win.
While stalking a crazy Mongolian lost soul with the boys, Ben stumbles across a white bunny and takes to it immediately – much to the chagrin of his other roomies. Sam brings up a valid point when he suggests that Ben is using the pet as a way to curb the loneliness of not having a girlfriend. Seems Ben won’t have to fight the single-guy blues any longer, when a demon originally sent by Gladys to kill Sam starts sweating our dear, sweet Ben. She even kidnaps him to further profess her attraction. In demon form, she’s definitely a sight. We’re hoping Ben can look past outward appearances and see a girl’s inner beauty. Wait a minute…..she’s a demon. Scratch that last comment.
Sam pressures Gladys to give him the address of Alan – the soul that got away – so he can get tips on how to break free from the Devil’s clutches. Of course, Alan would rather not have anything to do with Sam – he’s trying to relieve himself of all temptation. The Devil soon finds out the subject of Sam’s stalking and rigs a demon ambush on him just as Alan’s resolve breaks and he’s about to let Sam inside to chat. Alan flees his crucifix-ridden apartment and takes a job at a graveyard in an undisclosed location. And the search continues.
