I want to know everything about Esther Rawlins...

[deifire]

Same! I would totally be up for an Esther-focused episode or three.

More early appearances in this couple: Herschel and Cecil, Ron, the weird food truck, Mayor Grisham and his assistant Riley who transcribes every show and may soon be an upcoming plot point, Archie (sans jingle yet, but it's stuck in my head anyway)...

I'd forgotten Cecil used to be Ben's history teacher back whenever he went to high school.

There's this post on tumblr about an old lady who accidentally summons a demon and mistakes it for her grandson and quite honestly that is how I imagine Esther Rawlins.

I can't decide if I want us to actually meet Riley or if I just want him to remain a silent figure in the background who can save the world Emily.

I'm surprised Cecil hasn't forgotten he was Ben's history teacher...

He's still waiting for Ben to hand in his history paper. Late this term as well.

Does the demon end up pretending to be her grandson because it can't bear to disappoint her? That totally seems like an Esther Rollins thing to do.

[evilinsanemonkey]

yes

[froodle]

Called it. Nobody can resist the world's most bitchin' granny.

[deifire]

Oh, I remember that post! That is perfect Esther.

[froodle]

She's still out there looking for her ball of lavender yarn...

There should be an Esther Rollins Sewing Corner patch in the Patreon.

Shotgun Sammmy!

Shotgun Sammmy!
Weird coincidence, moved/visiting, or a sound alike.

Two of my favs were introduced in Catch & Release- Ron and Hershel.

They had to apologize for announcing there was a body?? A good percentage of the population was on scene to see the body. With phones/internet and gossipers, the rest of the town was going to learn about the body quick. Also heads up to avoid the area was considerate to drivers.

I maintain that Sammy has a stalker...

Ron and Hershel are so glorious!

IKR?! Like...King Falls is weeeeeird. King Falls: Where reporting the news is stirring up trouble.

Oh dudes there is a total murder wall in a basement somewhere plastered with long distance photos of Sammy.

Herschel's profanity laced reveal, so good!

[froodle]

Ron and Kingsie! So good. I love that mentioning Nessie is Ron's berserk button.

Sammy doesn't believe in the extraordinary.

Ron, gravely: What a sad life you must lead, Samuel.I

Is Matt/the Maintain Brah guy the same one who does the Buy One, Pay One adverts later on?

Is there a thing with Ben's mum and Mayor Grisham? He mentions her every time he shows up.

[froodle]

Poor Finn, he sounds so crushed when he hits the werewolf. Also I love Archie and the Princess and Rufus. "A crime against Dogmanity" needs to be up there with Jack in the Box Jesus in Terms Of Sayings THat Make IT into the eveeyday LExicon
