"Ash vs. Evil Dead" Season 2 episode 8 "Ashy Slashy" teases that Ash (Bruce Campbell) may kill Pablo (Ray Santiago) as Pablo is now a book (better check out what had happened on "Ash vs. Evil Dead" Season 2 episode 4) because he has contained some markings. So why might Ash kill Pablo? Let's recall what happened in the last episode, "Delusion."
In "Ash vs Evil Dead" Season 2 Episode 7 with a title "Delusion," as the title suggests, Ash was under the spell of Baal. With the help of his power, Baal worked hard to convince Ash he was suffering from a mental disorder.
Of course, at first, Ash did not believe the trick. Since Baal has a magic or power, he made the entire Elk Grove looked real and even the mental hospital. He pretended as a Ash's doctor and convinced him that he stayed in the hospital as he committed murders including murdering his friends in the cabin and his sister.
Ash saw Pablo, Ruby (Lucy Lawless), and Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo) in the hospital, but they were all different people. Ruby was a nurse, Pablo was one of the staff of the hospital, and Kelly appeared to be part of his delusion.
Ash was only convinced that he was controlled by his delusion when Pablo and Kelly (who's not Kelly but another patient) were killed. Baal showed the recorded video shows that he attacked the two people.
The episode ended with Baal instructing Ash to destroy Necomonicon. It is not sure if Ash was just prentending or he was really under the spell. To know the answer, watch "Ash vs. Evil Dead" Episode 8.
Apparently, "Ash vs Evil Dead" Season 2 showed good performance when it comes to TV ratings. In a recent report by Forbes, the latest episode soared high as it garnered 330,000 viewers. Now, "Trapped Inside" becomes the third most watched episode of the season.
