Sam Oliver is your typical college dropout working a dead-end job at a hardware store, until his 21st birthday comes around and he learns that his parents sold his soul to the devil. As a result, he must serve as Satan's personal bounty hunter, tracking down escaped souls and capturing them for the devil's collection.
In episode 15 of season 1, titled "Coming to Grips," Sam and his quirky group of friends, Sock and Ben, are on the hunt for a soul named Alan Townsend. This particular soul seems to have a talent for escaping from the devil's grasp and causing chaos wherever he goes.
To make matters worse, Sam's ex-girlfriend Andi and her new boyfriend, Greg, are thrown into the mix when they inadvertently become involved in the hunt for Alan. As Sam tries to keep Andi and Greg safe while also trying to capture the soul, tensions rise between him and Andi, causing him to question his feelings for her.
Meanwhile, Sock is dealing with his own love life troubles as his girlfriend, Josie, begins to demand more attention from him. Ben, the tech-savvy member of the trio, is dealing with his own insecurities and feeling left out of the group.
As the group continues to track down Alan, they discover that he has a unique power that makes him nearly invulnerable. This makes their mission much more difficult, and they realize they may need to turn to a mysterious figure named Gladys for help.
The episode is full of action, humor, and heart as Sam and his friends navigate their complicated personal lives while trying to capture a dangerous soul. The theme of coming to grips with one's own abilities and limitations is prevalent throughout, as each character must confront their own fears and insecurities in order to succeed.
Overall, "Coming to Grips" is a standout episode in the first season of Reaper, showcasing the show's unique blend of comedy and drama with a side of supernatural excitement.
