Fan’s of BBC/Doctor Who type makeup and special effects will appreciate this episode.
S1 Ep2: Know, Know, Know Your Goat
In Ep2 Sheriff Barret became acquainted with the town drunk who turns out to be something else. Stan and his daughter, Denise, meet a goat who turns out to be all kinds of evil in disguise, and we found out that Denise is kinda cray-cray.

Nothing in Willard’s Mill is as it seems…
“Let Your Love Groan”
It seems we’re learning the history of Willard’s Mill through the flashbacks at the beginning of each episode. This one starts with a flashback to 18 months earlier. In the town bar, a couple meets for a blind date. The guy seems smooth, but kinda sleazy. The girl is shy and innocent. You know, they typical small town girl.
Or so you think. Turns out, she’s not what we thought. Within ten seconds of them meeting she asks him to meet her at the bathroom to…you know…
Let’s just say, she’s really aggressive when they get there. Really aggressive. Like…SUPER DEADLY CRAZY aggressive…
Present Day
Sheriff Barret seems to be a bit down since she’s arrived. She’s found out about the curse, almost been killed twice, and now she’s just met her ex-husband’s new fiancee. Deputy Drinkwater suggests she go check out the speed dating event at the local bar (yeah… the same local bar from the flashback). She agrees to that, but only if Stan goes with her. For some reason, Denise goes too.

The event starts and we get to meet a few more of the weird locals living in Willard’s Mill. Barret meets frog after frog until finally…a prince. She leaves with him and they end up vibing so well that he asks her out again. Barret is smitten and excited with the prospect of new love. So excited that the veins in her neck start popping out.
Stan meets someone attractive, too. Attractive to him. She turns out to be just…like…Stan! She immediately talks shit to him and treats him like he treats everyone else. And he’s totally turned on by that.
I know you’re concerned, but don’t worry, Denise get’s to fall in love, too.
The next morning, a package arrives at Stan’s door. Denise opens it and finds a picnic basket with a cute little piggy inside. She’s weirdly ecstatic about this.
She decides to hide it in her room and in a funny coincidence, Stan happens to be cooking bacon for breakfast. Denise actually feeds some to the pig while Stan isn’t looking.
Pay attention to what Stan says when he finds out…his little rants totally make the show.
Meanwhile, Barret arrives at the station in a great mood. She admits to Deputy Drinkwater that she met a guy. Being the unabashed guy that he is, Drinkwater comments about how she must have had a really good time because it looks like she was out all night. When she checks herself out in the mirror she notices the veins on her neck.
Stan’s on a date with the lady from the night before and SURPRISE SURPRISE, he’s already annoyed with her. She immediately takes charge and orders lunch for him. Weirdly, she starts acting like she’s known him forever. She takes over his life. Cleans his house out. Makes him eat things he doesn’t like. She’s treating him just like they’re married.
In the middle of the episode, we get a tiny montage on Barret’s relationship. She’s really liking the guy more and more. She’s also looking worse and worse. Like she’s taking makeup lessons from Beetlejuice.
In one of the creepiest love affair montages I’ve ever seen, we get to see Denise, the pig she names Mergatroid, and the love they have for each other.
Let the really weird stuff begin.
Barrett, Stan, and Denise all start looking worse and worse. Their skin gets paler. Their eyes get redder and redder and start bulging out. All the veins on their face and neck start popping out. They’re all looking closer and closer to a corpse every time they’re with their loved one.

Finally, Barret realizes how bad she looks. Denise has no clue what she’s looking like. Barret goes to Stan’s to look through his wife’s book. Funny, Stan only looks pale and his veins only pop out of his neck when his lady-friend is around.
As Barret looks through the book, she figures out they’re each dealing with their own Succubus and that they need to break up with their boyfriend/girlfriend as soon as possible by chanting the spell in the book.
Stan is totally in agreement and says he can solve his problem by using his tried and true break up technique. I was dying with laughter when he went into detail on it and might have to try this one with the next woman I date when she starts annoying me.
Barret rushes to the bar and uses the spell to break up with her demon. He blows up and while his blood and guts fly everywhere Barret’s complexion immediately clears up.
Back at Stan’s, Barret finds Denise is looking pretty bad, too. She learns about Mergatroid and tries to get Denise to get rid of the pig. Denise shuts herself in her room and when Stan and Barret break in, they find that Mergatroid has now morphed into an evil demon pig that looks like a more menacing version of the Space Pig from Doctor Who and Torchwood that the Slitheens created.

While Stan fights Mergatroid in the worst possible way, Barret helps Denise utter the incantation to break up with the demon. Just as the demon is choking Stan to death, they finish the spell.
After that’s over, Stan’s chick arrives and it’s time for him to get rid of his succubus.
She’s pissed because she smells pork and launches into a rant about why it’s not healthy to eat it. In a comedic turn of events (this show has some really good ones), Stan utters the spell, but nothing happens. It turns out she’s not a succubus, after all, she’s just really freaking annoying. So he tries his go to break up technique.It doesn’t go over very well.
I’m seriously going to have to try that line…

Contrary to what everyone thinks… Deven B. actually hates the Holidays but he’ll probably eat and drink his way through them anyway.
You can follow him on Facebook or Twitter. Or you can meet him for a shot at the local bar…
