I'm really appreciating the Ash/Pablo matchup, even if they didn't spend a lot of time together this episode. Ash was his usual sexist a-hole self, but by contrast, we have Pablo who is just so adorably awkward towards the woman he loves. Both Ash and Pablo were pretty cringeworthy, but for their own reasons. I love how fleshed out they are.
As for the episode itself, considering the claustrophobia of the past few episodes, I really like that we're seeing action spill over to the normal world. The basis of the first two movies, after all, was that Ash was trapped in the cabin, and then the last few episodes followed suit -- Kelly's home, the bookstore, Brujo's cabin. For this show, it's been awhile since we've seen an action scene out in the open with innocent, nameless bystanders.
And with that said, I love how the team is finally gelling together. They fought not one, but two Deadites and handled themselves well, instead of getting thrashed around as usual (well, Ash...). Lastly, Kelly can be terrifying when she's mad, and let's take note of how, even for a TV-MA show, her Deadite's defeat was obscured by the meat slicer. It's not one for Evil Dead to have constraint, but maybe it's a case of using the audience's imagination against them to make an even gorier killing.
