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

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

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

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