You know, I love Bruce Campbell, but this episode never did it for me. I think once the series started using LA actors, who were much more recognisable, it became that little bit less believable and immersive.

field should be filled in to identify this; if not, it should still be used to identify the source of the video. As is, it seems too vague to be verifiable. Ref 6 isn't needed, the article is about the episode and so doesn't need to reference the episode for information about itself. There's also a good few instances of the same reference cited several times consecutively, these could be folded in together to let the prose flow without interruption—three sentences all back by one reference only need to be cited at the end of the third, for example, not once at the end of each.It is my intention to promote this article to A-Class. The article has gone through a rather substantial revision from where it was last week and has been expanded enough that I believe the article meets comprehensiveness. Obviously however it is not perfect, and thus I would welcome any comments. Bruce Campbell ( talk) 22:54, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

I watched this episode yesterday. The scene where Wayne is in the hospital bed next to his wife Laura. The article states "Wayne opens his mouth and returns her soul to her body, allowing her to recover as he dies." We do see him open his mouth and the soul effect go from his mouth to hers, she lives and he dies. Him giving her her soul back does make sense as an interpretation, but... Laura is not shown after this scene. I thought the show may be suggesting the demon character may have left his injured body and possessed Laura's healthier body (and perhaps one that could have normal children), and that this is why his body died but hers lived. I was expecting a scene showing the Laura character after to see how she behaves, but there was none, Laura is not shown after this scene, so it is hard to tell. Possession or soul-swapping is within the themes the show has touched on in several other episodes, it fits with the shows tone. Since the Laura character is not shown awake after this I thought it may be deliberately ambiguous as to whether he is giving her her own soul back or possessing her body with his soul. Is there something that makes one interpretation definitely right, and my alternative idea wrong. I thought from what is shown on screen only, and what happens in the show in general, it is a bit ambiguous. Could it be written closer to what the audience sees rather than what is inferred, or are there sources showing the writers considered the scene to show "him giving her soul back" simple as. At the moment there are some references in the plot section, but this statement in question is not sourced.
Am I talking rubbish? I admit him giving her her soul back makes sense as the simplest most likely description of what the scene is trying to show, but as I was watching it, I just thought it wasn't clear, that perhaps what I wrote above is what's happening, or could be.
