Ep 1. The Ex-Orcism

In Deadbeat season 2 episode 1, titled "The Ex-Orcism," we find the main character, Kevin Pacalioglu, continuing his job as a medium who communicates with ghosts and helps them resolve any lingering issues that keep them tethered to the earthly plane.

The episode begins with Kevin and his best friend, Roxy, attending an exorcism for one of Roxy's old friends, Rachel. Rachel had recently taken up a new form of spirituality involving demons and dark magic, and it had taken a turn for the worse. Rachel had become possessed by a demonic spirit, and Kevin had been called in to help her.

As they enter the house, Kevin is immediately skeptical of the other exorcists' techniques. They douse Rachel in holy water and scream at the demonic spirit to leave her body. However, as Kevin begins to communicate with the spirit, he realizes that it's not actually a demon possessing Rachel. Instead, it's an orc - a ghost of a Dungeons & Dragons enthusiast who had died in a car crash. The orc had been hanging around Rachel because she was the only one who could see him.

Kevin tries to explain this to the other exorcists, but they dismiss him as a quack. They continue their violent exorcism techniques, which only serve to anger the orc and make the possessed Rachel even more erratic. In frustration, Kevin leaves the exorcism and returns home, where he is visited by the orc.

The ghostly orc explains that he was trying to help Rachel by guiding her towards a more positive form of spirituality, but the other exorcists had mistaken him for a demon and were causing more harm than good. Kevin agrees to help the orc and Rachel, and begins to formulate a plan to exorcise the orc from Rachel's body.

Meanwhile, Roxy is dealing with her own issues. She's just been fired from her job and is struggling with her sense of identity. When Kevin returns to the exorcism, he helps Roxy confront her fears and embrace her true passions. Together, Kevin and Roxy work to exorcise the orc from Rachel's body, with surprising results.

"The Ex-Orcism" is a hilarious and heartwarming episode that showcases the unique talents of the Deadbeat cast.
