Evil Recapped: How to Slaughter a Pig

We open with David at the Mysterious Fringe Institute. Wouldn’t it be amazing if Walter showed up in this show? Father Kabiru is asking him to draw another location.  

Now we’re with Dr. Boggs apologizing to Kristen. They are interrupted by a text from David which reads “POSSESSED PORK.” Maybe he’s just telling her he once owned some bacon. Dr. Boggs offers to help Kristen with her Andy problem and she rightly points out that despite his apologies, last time she knew him he was engaging in demonic automatic writing caused by a toy carousel. Touche, Kristen. But Dr. Boggs reassures her he’s done with all that, so Andy will be seeing him for therapy. SUCH a good idea. Boggs’ secretary is in on this demonic shit because she calls Leland to squeal.

Ben is studying the djinn further. The djinn is warning him about Big Pharma. This is how Ben becomes an anti-vaxxer. The team is now driving to the country, and David points out that this location is only four miles from the particle accelerator. They watch a Possessed Pork Challenge video, and the Pork Lobby is paying the team to investigate this. Those Pork Council creeps got to them! At the pork farm, the show illustrates why I don’t eat pork. Kristen gets a pretty deep cut on her thigh in front of one of the cages and the pigs flip out, hungry for blood. Seriously though that’s gonna need stitches.

Sheryl is holding some kind of corporate consciousness raising group with other women. Leland calls it a sewing circle despite no sewing taking place, because Leland is a douchebag. This meeting is interrupted by someone’s water breaking. Did you know that despite this common depiction in the media, only about 15% of pregnant people have this happen before birth?

Ben is checking out the pig farming drones, and a farmer who uses them shows him a video of a guy who is extremely adept at doing a bridge and walking that way a la The Exorcist. It’s the employee who was explaining conspiracy theories to Kristen earlier.

Hey, only 16 minutes before the credits this time! That’s practically short for this show.

Baby time! Hey, that’s the same nurse who tortured David! Speaking of David, he’s seeing horrific visions. He goes to see Father Kabiru to ask him what a red, green, and yellow flag means and it sounds like the beginning of some horrible joke. Father Kabiru is still begging him to help find missing priests in Ethiopia but David does not want his visions to be true because he has visions of Hell.

The pig farmer dad reports that he tried to get some exorcist competition to exorcise his son. David is big mad about this and big mad in general. Back at the hospital, the woman in labor is pretty sure she’s gonna be fed to her own baby. You know they 100% are.

Now we’re with the Trio of God and they are creepy as heck. I’d rather hang with Paimon. They happily report that they sent demons into a bunch of pigs and missed the vital part of the story where you make sure the demon pigs are destroyed.

Ben finally confesses about seeing the djinn, David confesses about seeing The Entity again, and Ben concludes they are three fucked up people. It’s true! They pull over for a pretty adorable group hug. A guy with a traitor flag drives by and honks at them, so they skedaddle.

Back at the hospital, Leland clarifies that yes, pregnant lady is carrying The Antichrist, and yes, the mother is gonna be eaten. But they mean Kristen, not pregnant lady, so that’s okay! Ah okay her name is Leslie, and she calls Kristen, seemingly to lie and convince her to come to the hospital. The medical folks talk about getting Leslie an epidural but I am 100% sure Evil Nurse said she was already “on” an epidural. I don’t know how epidurals work though. Leslie manages to get Kristen physically in the room while the baby comes, and I have to say, Leslie’s shoes are HIDEOUS.

Ben is wisely at the pig farm, in a wheat field, alone. At night. A huge, disgusting demon pig is approaching him, but runs past him and we hear a terrible squealing from many pigs.

Leslie gets the Antichrist into Kristen’s arms, but nothing happens, because instead we’re with David and Ben explaining what happened with the pigs. He made a Pig Wendigo by feeding pigs to themselves. This made them aggressive. The Pork Lobby seems unphased by this and hands them NDAs, which they rip up. Good. I wonder if either of them will eat pork after this?

I thought for a second this nurse was gonna insist Kristen breastfeed this baby, which was going to be extra difficult in a turtleneck. But no, she hands Kristen a bottle and Kristen has complicated feelings about feeding an Antichrist that is half hers. I don’t think Dr. Boggs is equipped to help with this particular kind of trauma.

THE END.
