Ash (Bruce Campbell) figures to end the horror he's accidently started,
he's to return to the cabin where it all began (in Evil
Dead and Evil Dead 2),
and to this end he ditches his friends and companions to not endanger them
more. However they try to catch up with him, and while Pablo (Ray
Santiago) and Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo) get hopelessly lost, Amanda (Jill
Marie Jones) manages to find the cabin - much to Ash's horror, as he's
grown sweet on Amanda, and the last time he's been here with a girlfriend
she got possessed and he had to kill her. Of course, once reunited, Ash
and Amanda make the fatal mistake to separate, and Ash soon gets stuck in
a shed and is confronted by the severed head of his former girlfriend
Linda (Rebekkah Farrell), who's annoyingly talkative. In the meantime,
Amanda is confronted ... by a very charming, sweettalking Ash, and she
almost falls for his charms, too - until she notices he's got both hands
and is in fact an evil version of Ash grown out of his severed hand. A
fight ensues and gets her killed quite gruesomely - staked on a set of
deer antlers - before the real Ash makes it to the scene, now confronted
by his evil self ... Ash vs Evil Dead was always
a series to pay hommage to the original Evil
Dead trilogy, and this episode does it even more so than any
so far - unsurprisingly and totally intentionally, too, since it revisits
the iconic location of Evil
Dead and Evil Dead 2
and does fan service by flooding the plot with Easter Eggs. That's not to
say it's a total rip-off, it's still totally funny, and deserves a watch
for the banter between Ash and Linda's severed head alone, but it can
still be quite gruesome when it sets out to be, including Amanda's
show-stopping death.
