Ash vs Evil Dead is an American comedy horror television series that is produced by Sam Raimi. It revolves around the character of Ash Williams who is played by Bruce Campbell. The show is a continuation of the Evil Dead movie franchise that started in 1981. Ash vs Evil Dead season 1 episode 4 is titled "Brujo" and was directed by David Frazee.

The episode begins with Ash and his friends, Pablo and Kelly, traveling to a location in Mexico to meet a Brujo who can help them fight the evil dead. They are seeking the advice and expertise of this Brujo because they are currently being pursued by a terrifying demon called Eligos. The episode then cuts to the group arriving at the Brujo's home in the remote jungle.

The group is introduced to the Brujo, who is a shaman that practices both traditional and modern medicine. He and Ash quickly fall into a clash of ideologies over the use of magic versus technology, but the group ultimately decides to follow the Brujo's instructions in order to defeat Eligos. They start by drinking a strange liquid, which causes them to experience hallucinations and become connected to each other in a deeper way. The Brujo explains that this is necessary for them to be able to ward off the demon.

While under the influence of the liquid, Ash has a vision of his past and confronts some of his own personal demons. Meanwhile, Pablo has a vision of his own potential future and is given a glimpse of what his destiny may hold. Kelly, on the other hand, has a vision of Eligos and realizes that it is much stronger than they had previously thought.

After their hallucinations wear off, the Brujo advises the group to seek out a certain book that is capable of stopping Eligos. This book is currently in the possession of a collector who lives nearby. Ash, Pablo, and Kelly set out to retrieve the book, but their mission is not as straightforward as they had hoped.

As they sneak into the collector's home to retrieve the book, they accidentally alert the collector to their presence. A tense and hilarious standoff ensues, during which Ash is forced to use his wits and charm to try and convince the collector to hand over the book. Meanwhile, Pablo and Kelly are caught in a trap and must find a way to break free before they are discovered.

After successfully obtaining the book, the group makes their way back to the Brujo's home. Eligos manages to catch up to them and a bloody battle takes place, with the group using all the resources at their disposal to try and defeat the demon. The Brujo uses his magic to weaken Eligos, while Ash and his friends use the book to try and kill it once and for all. The battle ends in a classic Evil Dead fashion, with plenty of blood and gore.

In conclusion, Ash vs Evil Dead season 1 episode 4, "Brujo," is a thrilling and entertaining installment of the series.
