**Louis Ferreira (Justin Louis), Gary Farmer, Maurice Dean Wint, Lolita Davidovich.** 1st of 22 appearances for Steve Monarque as Johnny. Gloriously bonkers story about a cursed pool cue and a woman (Elizabeth MacLellan) obsessed with getting married to her dirtbag boyfriend. It works because everyone commits 100% to the material. The gruesome deaths help, too. _My 140th TV episode of 2026. Averaging 104 minutes of TV per day._ 9/10
While Ryan and Jack try to recover a pair of cursed snowshoes, Micki hears from one of Ryan's street contacts, a punk named Johnny. He's managed to track down a pool cue that bears a cursed. The player who owns it can't be beat, and there are the usual trail of impaled bodies. The pool player is hoping to make enough money to marry his fiancee. It turns out that he knows nothing about the curse, and it is his fiancee that is killing people so that he will eventually murder her. Eventually he finds out, and she kills him. The woman is locked up and Micki and Johnny recover the cue.
**Stephen Meadows, Carolyn Dunn.** Superb episode where they are trapped inside a snow globe! This show consistently tells smart comic book storylines with 100% conviction. Great performances from everyone here. And some dark, horrific imagery/ideas alongside balls-to-the-wall fantasy. Highlights: Ryan knowing something was up right from the start, the audience not knowing for a long time where they were, Micki and Jack being in the same hallway/room but unable to see one another, the devil wanting to impregnate Micki(!!), and Jack’s grim warning in the final seconds. _My 77th TV episode of 2026. Averaging 91 minutes of TV per day._ 10/10
A mysterious snowglobe is mailed to Curious Goods. When Micki gives it a shake, an old boyfriend of hers shows up, and convinces her to join him at a bed & breakfast. Then Jack and Ryan are both visited by old friends when they shake the globe. It turns out that each of the three newcomers is working for Satan. If Micki can be tricked into sleeping with her boyfriend, then she will be considered wedded to Satan as she ""willingly"" did so. Jack and Ryan, lured to the hotel, are separated from her, able to witness what is going on but unable to contact Micki. It turns out they are trapped in the hotel within the snow globe. Ultimately, Ryan's ex-girlfriend helps them, and they manage to drive a car into the edge of the globe, knocking it off the shelf it is resting and shattering it (and freeing themselves) before Micki can consummate her wedding with the Devil.
