“E Is for Elevator” (season 2, episode 4)
Season two’s story threads have inched forward a bit by “E Is for Elevator.” Leland’s exorcism, really part of a scheme to sabotage David from being ordained, lurches ahead; David begins to confront institutional racism within the church (elsewhere, Evil also takes Catholicism to task for sexism too); Sheryl and Leland split, and she realizes she regrets being estranged from Kristen; and a feisty nun, Sister Andrea, becomes an important ally.
But the main reason we’re including this one is because it is freaking scary, developing the “elevator game,” a viral phenomenon, into a nightmare-inducing scenario involving missing teens, hidden sub-basements, and bug-eaten corpses. It also gives a nice spotlight to Ben, who so often plays second banana there’s a running joke on Evil that nobody can remember his name.
