![]() This time, he finds Sebastian (Noah Robbins), whom you may remember as the pissed off IT guy who hacked the high-strung Broadway producer's office, after he's spurned by his local barista and pissed about it. Speaking of, feeding off the sins and lies of humans to gain power is exactly what Leland is up to this week as well. The sigil Leland drew was that of Anatas, the "king of the beasts," who feeds off of the sins and lies of humans, which is like so Leland, amirite?ĭiscover your new favorite show: Watch This Now! According to David, and his Wikipedia search, these sigils are believed to have magic powers and act as a way for demons to recognize one another. We can only have demon sigil-related things. It should also be noted that when David finds out that Leland was in Kristen's house and is obviously targeting her by dating her mother, he is extremely concerned and protective, and, like, can't we really just be Fleabagging it at this point? Are we not owed that for all the demon sigil stuff? Can we not have good things?! ![]() And wouldn't ya know, one of those sigils looks EXACTLY like the weird drawing Leland ( Michael Emerson) put into one of the diaries he gave Kristen's daughters as his "I'm Dating Your Grandma" Gifts. It's a hierarchical map of demon sigils - 60 OF THEM, IT SHOULD BE NOTED. Aside from reminding Ben that he could look at the security footage from when Grace was detained and figuring out that one of the things she was writing translates to a "massacre of the innocents," which sounds great for everyone, it also allows Kristen and David to get a look at a document that seems to be a key to so many of the shenanigans going on. The Vatican assessors take them into a secure room and show them the ancient codex. ![]() The assessors press for more information about what Grace was writing while in ICE detention (the guard who threw out her notes mysteriously disappeared), but our team wants something in return for their help - they want to see the full codex of prophecies. Katja Herbers, Aasif Mandvi, Mike Colter, Evil ELIZABETH FISHER, CBS The next time they chat with the assessors, it is as a team because David is a goddamned hero! Honestly, they seem more curious about Kristen's birth control situation and Ben ( Aasif Mandvi) growing up Muslim than getting to any truth about a possible prophet who may be heralding the end of the world, but sure, "they're just doing their job." Thankfully, David puts an end to their ridiculous questioning and tells the Monsignor (Boris McGiver) that they won't answer any more questions about Grace until they get an apology. First, they're meeting with three assessors sent from the Vatican in regards to Grace the Prophet from last week. Our team has a lot on their plates this week. So let's get into how things are starting to connect. And man do I enjoy a show with a plan, even more so than I do shows with self-referential hot priest jokes, which, as you can tell, I enjoy a lot! Of course, any answers we might find only beget like 300 more questions, but that's okay because you can tell this show has a plan. In this episode, the procedural elements are starting to inform the bigger picture in a much clearer way, and we're getting solid clues as to what's going on here. Evil works extremely well as a case-of-the-week procedural, but from the beginning it was clear there was a larger story being told. I cannot be alone in this! Aside from clever writing and pitch-perfect cultural references, the other thing Evilis doing that really gets me going is that in "Vatican III," the show is starting to connect some dots. It was around the time Kristen Bouchard's ( Katja Herbers) homicide detective friend Mira Byrd (Kristen Connolly) popped over for a visit and, after being introduced to Priest-in-Training David Acosta ( Mike Colter), turned to Kristen to ask, "Are you Fleabagging it?" that I stood up and said aloud to no one, "I just really love this show." It was very sincere and emotional and I wish you could've seen it.
