TV on the Internet: Ash vs Evil Dead- 'Unfinished Business'

Ash vs Evil Dead is one of what feels like the 6,000,000 things in my life, but I still make time for it.  I just...take longer.

In any event, here's your Teaser for Episode 4...
In the wake of what happened last Episode, Ash is visited by his Ghost Dad.  It's time for some suddenly-important backstory...
As for Ash's Daughter, her and Kelly have some trouble with a new Deadite.  Can they survive?
As for Ash, his ghostly visitor takes him to...a Hardware Store.  What secrets lie in the basement and how will they affect the future?
As for Ruby, she is still super-evil, but we see a little more nuance to her when she talks to this lady in the Underworld/Hell.  Can she be stopped?

To find out, keep watching the Show.
More bloody good fun.  Ash vs Evil Dead does a nice job of giving you short- by Network TV Standards- doses of both crazy, emotional and fun stuff.  You get Ash with his physical comedy.  You get Ruby's sardonic wit.  You get Kelly's gruff, but fair attitude.  We also get one more- hopefully not the last- bit with Lee Majors being a mean, sarcastic dick.  You really do see how Ash could grow up to be the way he is when he you see his Dad.  For the bloody stuff, this one was a bit more sedate.  We get a Deadite and once nice head explosion- making Tom Savini proud-, but this is mostly about the weird and serious.  Kelly is really conflicted by all of this and not sure how to handle it.  Ash does care for his Daughter.  Even when he won't say it, Brock really does care about Ash.  Credit where credit is due, they keep things fresh with the Deadites and other Monsters.  In this case, we get some wall tentacles, which stand in contrast to the stuff they used before.  Ruby adds a new wrinkle to this whole Story- no SPOILERS- that I liked and am curious to see play out.  No matter who wins, we'll all enjoy the trip.  I'll leave you with this glorious '90s burn by Kelly...
Next time, evil is both adorable and deadly.  Can they save themselves, let alone the World?  See you then...
